Just Back in the car

It's not very often I'm embarrassed to be a Town fan but we were handed our collective ar&es on a plate today. We struggled to do the basics. We couldn't pass the ball which is an absolute pre requisite for playing the type of game Artell appears to want. There was a bit more movement especially in the first half when we did put together a couple of very good moves.
The first goal took a deflection but came about because we lost the ball. The second goal happened because we allowed their lad to run...and run.
Second half was damage limitation with some of the players body language suggesting-far too early-they knew they were beaten. We appear to have picked up injuries- not ideal at this time of year.
Man of the Match by a country mile Harvey Cartwright who without much help from those in front of him made at least EIGHT greaat saves/blocks.
Of the outfield players only Green (in patches) and the irrepressible Danny Rose came out with much credit.

Good summary.

Long second half season

You’re right it was embarrassing. I’m talking Bignot Ball embarrassing. To be destroyed like that by a team in the same league is not on . We looked like a non league team who train twice a week . The Artell bounce has gone , we have no money and 7/8 players who are no where near good enough to compete at mid table in this league . Yeah I know Fenty and Hurst have played their parts but as it’s been pointed out too me , we need to move on . I’m afraid JS&AP are failing on the football side as much as Fenty . I said Football Side only

You do realise that when the new owners bought the club they said the footballing side would be left 100% to the Manager/Head Coach?

As bad as the Harrogate performance against a much better team. Worst defence in years , it was embarrassing and 6 would not have flattered them. Huge respect to the travelling fans as this was a game we would always lose. I did not expect us to be this pathetic and gutless though. Artell needs to be a bit more pragmatic, that said when you looked at our bench, Hurst as a lot to answer for. Utm

Bring back Hewitt and Menayese

I'm so disappointed that the new owners, the promotion, the FA cup run, hasn't all combined into something to kick us on to becoming a club to be proud of. It's quite frankly embarrassing, the ground is a state, the players are the worst we've had in recent times and the vibe is extremely negative at the games. 1200 away fans there today and this is what was served up, appalling.

I heard that . I also heard them wanting to see the team play a certain way ?

Agree that we have 7/8 players who are not good enough,it really shows how poor our recruitment was in the summer.Owners need to step up,but doubt they will,with the appointment of Artell think they appointed in their own like,bad move in management terms as it invariably results in group think.
He may be confident we won't be relegated,but I am not ,and if we escape it will only be because there are two teams worse than us.This transfer window  is crucial in the history of town.

DA will be full on David Brent in his post match interview.
