I don’t know what the answer is but it’s clear that some of the players have quality. We can be very good as we have seen……..

Of the players brought in. Pyke, Wilson and Rose you’d argue are a success. Despite a couple of niggly injuries to two of them, they’ve all scored goals at a decent per game ratio. Remember when we were all losing our excrement about signing a striker that scores goals - we signed three and one of which in Rose is better than anything we’ve had for years.
I'd argue that starting the season with just 3 strikers in the squad is a real failing, especially as only Rose can really do the job of leading the line. Pyke seems to do better from wide positions, but we would have been royally screwed had Rose picked up even a medium-term injury before now. Other than Rose, I've not been enormously impressed with any of the other signings, though they've all had their good games on occasion. I'm not claiming that the lack of numbers up top is the fault of the recruitment guy, incidentally. The buck stops with the manager/head coach and Hurst really made a pig's ear of the summer's transfer window. |

Genuine question; do we have reasonable confidence that our friend male private here is in fact our former “stadium manager” Nick Dale, as opposed someone who has merely attempted a clever, topical play on words and instead merely ended up with a synonym for “pènis” as their moniker?
I can tell you for a fact it is not Nick Dale. He has no interest in anything GTFC since he left. I do think it is another ex employee though mentioning no names |

Yet again another, totally unfair in my opinion, pop at Joe Hutchinson.
Firstly, it isn’t the blokes job to go and sign who he wants and just give them to the manager. He will draw up lists and options within the framework he will have been given by the manager and present those to the them. Speaking to agents, finding who might be available etc etc
Presumably his role is then to recruit them within the budget and deal with agents etc once the Manager has given a go ahead, as it takes that side off his plate also. Quite often PH and Artel have said “I need to check with Joe where we are” so think that’s a fair assumption

Remember when we were all losing our excrement about signing a striker that scores goals - we signed three and one of which in Rose is better than anything we’ve had for years.
Mullarkey and Rodgers - the jury definitley still out on them, if getting a little close to returning a verdict.
Conteh - has had some poor form and been inconsistent. But he’s just turned 21 and has shown lots of promise. As PH said he didn’t know of him and this was Joe’s suggestion - if it comes good that’s a big chance of earning some serious money.
Vernam - been here before and was on the cards for a while well before Joe. Injury early on so no chance to judge
Eisa - done ok and scored goals so a decent addition?
Ghanoua - worked with PH before and signed after a trial so hardly strikes as an enforced addition.
So all in all the issue generally lies with established players who were here last season, some senior pros, not performing. Maher, Waterfall, Holohan, Khan, Clifton all having poor seasons. Let’s not just take the easy route of looking to just have a pop at someone when actually the reality of the facts don’t really support that.
Firstly, if many you mentioned are so good why are we in the excrement yet again? As regards Waterfall, Khan and probably Holohan, they haven't played that many games. |

I'm surprised that so many dummies on here actually thought he was. |

My thoughts on the players and our form is. Artell is a deep thinker and maybe the players have a bit of trouble trying to get their heads round what he wants. When they get it right we have the Salford result and when they are a bit confused of what he wants in the next game we get the Walsall result. So I am hoping in a few weeks they will be more comfortable with what David demands from them which will vary from week to week. and we will show more consistency and better results. Here is hoping.  |

Well… I think I only said a couple had been ok and 1/2 look good so far - not sure what is debatable about that? But feel free to say where you disagree. As for why are we so excrement, the back four is a big issue. Also, if you’re not performing - not playing much is usually what follows.. |

This is exactly the point. We were pretty good against a poor Salford, played pretty well for most of the first half against Walsall then made a couple of catastrophic mistakes. It was like letting air out of a balloon. We’ve got a 10 day window to clear our heads, hopefully sign some players and move on again. I’ve no idea whether we signed who Joe Hutchinson recommended in the summer window but that window won’t look great on his CV, I’m pretty sure we will release those not good enough to play the system and recruit those who can. |

There'a a certain ex-gtfc employee with a penchant for conducting cliched interviews in close proximity to noisy lawnmowers who absolutely loves to create fake accounts for trolling purposes and has been previously caught out on twitter doing so. Really wouldn't be surprised if one or more of the pro-fenty anti-1878 troll accounts on here belong to him.
