Post match interview

Absolutely nobody has suggested Cardwell would be our saviour just that him and Rose were at least deemed good enough to be League 2 subs. They even scored 2 or 3 goals between them.

Quoted from forza ivano

Yes, because of what he achieved last January when he had very little time to evaluate and act.
He brought in Clark, Grandin, Benson and Glennon and to a lesser extent Tilley

#this time he's known for a couple of months what we are lacking and who he needs to bring in

he's known since the summer.....

I’m beginning to think the excuses we’ve heard have been peddled so often because even as he was bringing them in during the summer he knew they weren’t good enough.

As a club we went for quantity over quality because of the alleged challenging fixture list.

I don’t believe for a minute that the vast majority of those brought in would’ve been anywhere near our squad prior to Covid. Couple that with the stark reality of difficulty of recruiting at a club like town, then the club openly saying, and being proud of offering Covid contracts can’t have helped.

I don’t know if he believes that by saying it was a good performance it’s some pseudo reverse psychology or if he genuinely believes not laying a glove on an opponent at home is a good performance.

Holloway’s bluster and hyperbole is funny when he’s not your manager but when you’re an awful side, desperate for a win and can’t even fathom a shot, lack any shape or seemingly any ideas it can be frustrating to listen to.

The next few fixtures are make or break, using a semi recruitment drive in January is not an excuse or justifiable response to being woeful. There’s no guarantee it’ll be fruitful and at the minute I’m not sure what the plan ever is and I think at times that is very much witnessed on the pitch.

I was just looking at the fixtures. Lose the next 4 (3 at home) and I wouldn't be surprised if IH would be gone by the 1st January.

Not having this cardwell would  be our saviour bull sh!t, he wasn't good enough..

Everyone was saying he needs to move on to a lower level and now all of a sudden he should have stayed?


Come on chaps just because we are excrement it doesn't excuse wanting players who couldn't do anything when they was here to come back and bang the goals in.

I never said that Cardwell would be our saviour. I said that Cardwell lead the line well for Chorley last week and someone told me he was unstoppable a couple of weeks before.

Chorley play 2 levels below us and 2 levels above Cleethorpes Town. Sisay didn't look good enough for Cleethorpes Town when I saw him.
