Always loathe to criticise a player unless its for lack of effort. In the main players are in this league for generally obvious reasons. Watching Mitchell I do find one aspect of his play particulary frustrating. I have been pleased to see our increased crosses into the box this season albeit due to our slow build ups, very often into a packed defence. However I wish Mitchell would attempt to get in front of defenders more. He is generally up with play but his movement is square to the goal line which means crosses are usually intercepted. He would do well to watch a few videos of Hendo in his pomp running diagonal to get in front of defenders, especially at the near post. Or am I being unfair? |

One swallow a summer does not make but regardless of our ultimate league position this season, that was head and shoulders above the absolute tripe of last season. A desire to get forward and wingers willing to get the ball across equates to entertainment. For the first time in what seems an eternity I find myself looking forward to next Saturday. On a minor issue I thought the referee had a decent game except for his refusal to allow us to restart the game in the second half with a throw in because the Dagenham team were on the touchline taking light refreshments! We were ready, it was Dagenhams own actions that led them not to be. |

Hi Dalenet After some soulsearching I could,nt bring myself to renew as I viewed it as an endorsement of Mcnultys football ethos. Cost wise it was very reasonable until you factored in the frustration of actually having to watch the game. But never fear I got a Your card and will live in hope that we adopt a pacier more direct style that does,nt leave me asking myself "what the hell am I doing here"? On your second point, I consider myself reasonably tech savvy but it took me more than an hour to order my card and install the app, having had to change my password twice?? Am sure it will be ok once we get going but what a palaver to set up. Why the app can,t be open source I have no idea. Hopefully someone can explain? Hope Dad is in good fettle. See you in August |

Indeed. My thought also. It won,t have helped on the season ticket sales front. |

"A season for us all to forget - I can't really find anything positive that I will remember it for"!!! What?. Not even Truenorth and I discussing the pros and cons of Ninja airfryers yesterday because we were bored witless with the football? I don,t listen to the clapping seals interviews anymore but am confident he was very proud of them. Beginning to question my sanity actually choosing to watch this parody of what football should be about.. There is,nt one single player, with the winner mentality, in that bunch in the mode of a Cooksey, Jones or Grant Holt. Mcnultys teams play like he used to play, languid with the ever present huge potential of an enormous rick along the way. ps Hats off to the Dorking manager. Its not often the clapping seal is outdone in the touchline style department. |

Never ever in a month of Sundays did I think I would agree with the "Resident Pedant" but spot on D,Alien. An appeal is wrong on so many counts, not the least is that he is hardly a goal machine. ps In the seventies when football was both a contact sport and exciting that tackle would have been considered a no nonsense blood and thunder challenge and lauded for it, but even a luddite like me can see that it was an easy decision for the ref. pps I sneaked a comma in for you D Alien. Did you spot it? Up the Mighty Dale |

Regardless of the mitigating circunstances within the club, I have just realised that I have found a spat between two strangers on a forum more entertaining than the game I have just witnessed. Concerning!! |

Its style over substance Jim, AND IT IS,NT WORKING!!!!!! The players must love you and your philosophy. It means, with one or two exceptions they can fulfil their contracts without breaking into a sweat. Everyone can see it (including opposing managers) except the people running the club. Imagining our opponents team talk is,nt difficult. "From the kick off let them do their Man City impression, let them feel good about themselves while we settle in. After awhile start pressing them, get some crosses into the box and we will be one up from poor defending. They will then wake up and we must be prepared to defend but don,t worry they won,t shoot unless they can see the whites of our goalkeepers eyes" . I think our squad is capable but we play in a straightjacket of our own making. Carry on in this vain and we will soon be flirting with relegation again. |

Knowing Dalenet personally Bluevein, I am 100% certain that none of his post was meant to be sarcastic or a wind up. As he states he was saddened at the incompetence of the club and the printer comment was merely an attempt to provide an alternative possible solution for a fellow fan. He is a chap that would go out of his way to help other folk and that would be his intention with the printer suggestion. |

I don,t disagree D,Alien (never thought I would write that) There are just too many red flags surrounding this EGM. If this forum is in any degree representative of shareholders notifications then the legitimacy of the vote itself must be called into question. From reluctance of the two directors to make a case, silence from the remaining board, off field performance and a manager who states we are not ready for the season, it appears to be a complete shambles. D,Alien won,t like the phrase but we are sleepwalking again. |

As you say. it may well be a good football decision. It is also a decision that pays no regard to the lifeblood of football, namely the paying customer. I know personally that Dalenet travels a great distance for home games on a regular basis and can quite understand why he is pisxed off. As am I and I live 5 minutes from the ground. |

I have no opinion of the motives, competency or character of the parties involved in this. I have never had contact with either. They may be saints, they may be sinners. However based on my own interaction with the club, the way this has been handled with the typical secret squirrel approach and the trajectory of the club downwards in practically every aspect, I,m confident of one thing. Namely to give this board funds (however raised) is hope over experience. I cannot buy into the argument that it is a stop gap to gain time for a deal with interested parties. I have heard talk of interested parties since 1969 and other than rich benefactors such as Ratcliffe nothing has come to pass. Stop gap funding for what we are told is an emergency without any supporting case other than what is reactively dragged into the shareholder debate is a case for a "No" vote in itself. More funding without a change in direction is akin to loading more coal onto the Titanic in mid Atlantic in order to go faster. It is all very depressing. |

Even if this proposal was a perfectly altruistic action by the two directors and the lien nestled in safety, I ask myself the most pertinent reasonable question. Taking judgement on the current Boards performance to date, would I want the money raised to be utilised by them going forward. Absolutely not. You might believe that SG is a cross between Mother Theresa and Warren Buffet but such a proposal still requires a plan going forward. Ie some form of justification that other options have been explored and how the money is to be spent. I can,t help feeling that as another has already intimitated, there is an "or else" in the offing. |

It would still be a fan owned club. Effectively owned by just two fans when and if it all goes pear shaped. |
