Match Thread

Quoted from Tommy

Don't think its fair to criticise people like Gibson, Hewitt, Scannell etc for not putting themselves forward to take a pen. How do any of us know they didn't?

Every player on the pitch might have put themselves forward to take one for all we know. Fair play to Macca for wanting to take one but I'd question the decision to let him take on when its clear that his kicking has never been his strong point.

Maybe thinking if he aimed down the middle he’d skew it in to the top corner! 😁

Apparently Ollie was complaining in the post match interview that his keeper had taken a pen. Surely he’s in charge of that? If he gave the decision to the players then don’t complain after.

Really can’t get annoyed about this. It was a friendly in all but name. We have got some decent players there. It’s going to take a couple of months to get them firing though.

So what is it with Ohman?

Quoted from grimsby pete

He used to only dive to the left a bit back.

Maybe changing it a bit might help.

2 to the left one to the right then stand still.for the ones who chip it down the middle then back to the left.

Whatever system you use it could still be wrong.

If he did that Pete he would be on Strictly dancing

The club is skint...prize money would have been nice so it wasnt a "friendly". I am glad its out the way though, the minimum number of games the better for this season as far as i am concerned, we only have a few injuries really and the bench today had alot of youngsters on it. Protect the squad for League games to maximise our chances of getting safety as fast as possible and then upwards from there.

Just listened to Holloway's post match interview with JT....

Interesting when he was speaking about the Limbrick situation and how AL didnt want to take the paycut if the players weren't, that he said "John wasn't having it"

So he's not the chairman any more but still calling the shots.

Has that really shocked you?

Are we sleepwalking into a contractual minefield with some staff losing 25% of wages but players back on 100%? Leaving AL's case aside as there are other complications, surely we would be better doing what the majority of clubs are doing (whatever that is) rather than digging our heels in?
If , for example, the back office, ground maintenance, commercial functions are impacted to the same degree as the pitch, how are we better off? If we get into defending cases in tribunals it can soon be expensive.
There is bound to be a test case somewhere in the EFL brought by a club employee.
Could there be a return to say 90% if Season tickets pass 2000?  
I know this will get red crossed for 'hammering the club' but I'm just looking to avoid unnecessary grief for all concerned.

Johns a pretty common name, maybe it wasnt John Fenty he was referring to ?

It must have been a different John he was referring to because he calls Fenty Squeaky.
