I don't know what the fuss is about Ogle, he's looked very ordinary when I've seen him. Not awful by any means, but I don't think he's great either.I agree.
However the first job for PP is to identify which of the squad he doesn't feel are NL calibre.
That's part of the job for this close season.
The second part of the job is to address our shortcomings with new signings.
The third job is to replace the OK players with better ones to improve us.
I think this last bit is too much to expect before next season, but would hope he could achieve the first two steps. (he really needs to).
Ogle, for me, falls into the OK category so I think he'll stay for now whilst other, more pressing, concerns are addressed.
Was that Burton game with John Barnes on BT?We might get the live game if they can still win the title, we haven’t had a home game yet
No, BT don't like coming to Alty unless they absolutely have to. Pretty sure we are the only promoted team not to have had a home game shown live this season.
That was a cup game when we were in Conf North, but yes it was on BT.
I thought IG was ESPN

Fairly sure we didnt get a home game live on bt last time we were at this level.

My biggest worry would be if we have lapsed into a similarly relaxed mentality to that which appeared to set in when we reached mathematical safety in 2014/15, and which we never seemed to recover from the following season when we ended up getting relegated. I still have huge faith in Phil and Neil to lead us forward, but that is my main concern at present.
I get your point, however you could look at that the other way and that the lads might have found it hard to motivate themselves to go again after such a successful first season, which is clearly no longer the case.
With 2014/15 unless I'm mistaken I think some of our best players (Young to York? Senior to Darlington?) were cherry picked and not adequately replaced, whereas I can't see many of the current lot being poached just yet.
I’m sure we’ll play another 5/6 PSF all in the NW at least. If we have a new director who is putting his time, money & skill set into the club then arranging one PSF (and presumably a good chance for the lads to bond over a weekend away) at his local club, then it’s really not a big deal for me. The Isle of Man was hardly down the road & I don’t recall too much fuss about our match there.
