Ah! The First Law of Fenty - 'thou shalt receive thine P45 if thou hast six unsuccessful games in a row.'


But if our next 6 replicates the last 6 then we'll have lost 10 out of 12. That's not 6 unsuccessful games in a row, that's deserving of the sack.

The 6 games thing is a pretty common statement in football too, not a Fentyism. He probably got it from match of the day.

It would be 12 game sequence and if we manage the same points tally surely his job is under threat wouldn’t it ?

I’d worked that out myself.

Just makes you wonder how long you get under the ‘long term project’ #greatertogether regime.

Quoted from grimsby pete
Nobody whatever position they play have a divine right to play every game.

Our home form is still very good but our away results  are terrible lately even with our great support at each game.

It will not not hurt Macca having a few games out the team and we will find who is the better keeper.

If it's Macca then bring him back into the team if not then Paul has done the right thing in giving the other guy a chance.

Sorry Pete but if Crocombe is no better than Macca we need to be finding two new keepers.

Just think we got off to such a fabulous start, the rest of the season would become an anticlimax.
There are lots of good squads with plenty of funds behind them
If we can get to end of January in top 3 I’d be both pleased and amazed.
Modern society has no tolerance for apparent failure, whether it’s covid, immigrants across the channel or footy teams losing 4 out of 5 games.
Sad but that’s the way it is….

Quoted from Kris2


How can it cost us points if we were already losing?

.


I’m guessing you have never played at a competitive level.
I I’m talking local league at least.

You’re 1-0 down but looking like getting back in the match  
One of the team (and unfortunately goalies are in the firing line) makes a big error resulting in an opposition goal). Opponents heads go up, yours go down.  That can cost you points.

As an aside on this. I’m fairly reliably informed that Macca is one of (if not the) top earners at the club. Right now he is not worthy of that.  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

But if he's better we'll only need one. We just need him to have a run in the side to find out but sadly Hurst doesn't seem to want to let him but then Macca is his favourite boy who it appears can do no wrong

Macca looks like he's in poor form but I'm no goal keeping expert and due to work commitments versus the amount of weekday NL games I've missed more games than in recent seasons and probably can't give any kind of truly informed view.

But from what I've seen I think we need a change, knowing Hurst and one of his qualities is loyalty then Macca will be in goal tomorrow.

He dropped him after that Stevenage game though, so it's not completely unrealistic.
