My thoughts are that we started well enough but the game changed after about 15 mins. Dale had a corner and were about to recycle the ball when. Surprise surprise their GK went down with a mystery injury forcing the ref to stop the game and our momentum. All the SM players went over to the bench and they then changed their style of play by pressing us quicker and higher up the pitch. This led to their goal and after that whilst we ‘may’ have controlled the ball Solihull controlled the game. We only came back into it in the last 10-15 mins.
FWIW. I’d like to see McNulty play a 3-5-2 (or whatever you call it) and start with East, Gilmour and Henry as a central midfield with the 3 defenders and wing backs as they are. Henry and East are both creative leaving Gilmour to play the Gary Jones role of ‘ratting’ and getting in and amongst the opposition midfield. It might even allow us to play through the midfield more effectively. Rodney is wasted in his current role and this formation would allow him to play his more natural role. He’s much more of a threat up top and would give Mitchell much needed support. We have still plenty of options off the bench to change things if necessary.
Oh and whilst in theory resting players is a good idea, I’d start with my strongest line up every match. It seems to me that McNulty is rotating for the sake of it. |

Errm. Well spotted Miss Marple. Bet you hate losing at Cluedo.
Just saying it just might put what our groundstaff have to deal
with working with a lot less money in to some sort of context |

Anyone seen the state of Bradfords pitch tonight
might put things in perspective
They have a bigger fan base = money and it’s still
a shite pitch. So maybe, just maybe, our groundstaff
are doing a decent job |

Not sure how it works but if he is deselected can he still stand ?
Or will he withdraw himself from the ballot. If he doesn’t then
IMO he’s a fool as it will do Labour more harm than good |

Might in the longer run work out in our favour
As Labour will go all out to regain the seat at the
General Election. Let’s see if our Labour Council

Your right re season tickets (imo). I think that they’ve been underpriced for the last 2 to 3 seasons.
easy maths but say an extra £50 on a full day price ticket next season would possibly bring in an extra £75k. |

It’s alright having all of the questions TS. But where’s your answers ?
Think it was Richard Knight that said at either the fans forum or EGM
That he’d be a lot happier sat asking the questions rather than answering
them. The shareholders have every right to oust this board as they did
with the last one. If that’s what you want then rally the shareholders
and vote them off. There are plenty plenty on here who ‘say’ they can
do a better job so perhaps now is the time for them to step forward.
Not sure this board would go meekly as they have so much money tied
up in shares and now loans |

Nevett coming on might have been a better option.
Whilst he’s still a little lightweight as a defender
He’s more of a ball playing CH who can see a pass.
It could have given us more options with him stepping
up into midfield with the ball |

This is a big part of the problem. How much money of this circa £2billion will be spent on home grown talent and how much is going overseas ? Any money spent on home grown has the potential to trickle down the pyramid
If there was a 10% levy on overseas transactions then that would put £200 million into the FA/FL coffers for distribution. 5%=100 etc. (That’s obviously assuming all 2billion was overseas).
A sizeable chunk that could be used to put extra funding in to our own academies.
Wont happen of course

It’s all well and good penning a motion to remove the current Board,
But who will put themselves forward to take over ?. As Knight said at the
EGM he’d be quite happy to sit and ask questions rather than being asked
them.
If you or others want to pick up the sh-tty end of a stick then go for it.
The no confidence vote removed Botters and Rawlinson so it can remove
Gauge and Co
From what I’ve heard from Knight he’s done all he can (or wants to)
He seems straight talking but unfortunately seems to be Gauges puppet.
As for Murray I think he’s in tough position. Expected to represent the
fans but hamstrung by being a Director and all that entails
Wouldn’t want any of those 3’s positions just now |

Pardon me for not knowing the difference
there’s some pedantic (is that a word) smart arses on here
that are always wanting to put occasional posters down for no reason

What was mentioned to me tonight is that with the exception of
Col most of the Trust board voted against the motion. Why ? And why did
Col vote for ? Is there a split in what the Trust is thinking |

It would have been nice to know who his associates were

Co-opted on to the Board to help out ? |

Looks like Hodkinson didn’t like the fact he was politely told that he had no more rights than any other fan to expect answers. Then portrays it as a journalist (?) being given a snub.
Fair play to Knight for seeing through Hodkinson.
Who knows what confidences could have been broken had he gone along and answered any questions |

Id guess if you turn up at the ticket office very early they will sort you one
Don’t leave it any later than 12.00 as that’s when it will start to get busy
Or give them a call and see what they say ?
Worst they can say is no |

Noticed McNulty put an arm round his shoulder and have a few words in his ear
after the match. Hopefully saying don’t worry about it as the goals will come.
Fingers crossed they come next week |

That was the worst performance I think I’ve ever seen and I like others have seen some p1ss poor performances over the years. Absolutely gutless all they way the way through the team and from where I was stood Bentley didn’t appear to be offering anything from the touch line either. Any self respecting person would fall on their sword and walk but this is football and they still want their £’s of flesh.
Re the BoD these are well meaning fans with little experience of running a football club. They do it on a voluntary basis, as have most over the years,but they can be removed. It happened 2 years ago and if the fans want it then it can happen again. If enough fans want it then those most critical can put themselves forward and hopefully do a better job.
Lets hope the BoD show some balls and get rid but who will want to take the job on ? |
