I would suggest we may be better off rallying round the club and it's board; and all pulling together to trying to put this club back where it belongs. Nobody denies things have not yet worked out for us this season. Several times during the game yesterday, I thought we were not a million miles from where we want to be. Compared to Stockport, we are a small side, our strength is playing football in a passing game on the deck. Stockport play a different game of lofted balls to their bigger players, which sucked us into their way of playing, particularly towards the end. I thought some our passing moves yesterday were very good. I thought Harry Cain was excellent when he came on; and I'll tell you what, I would rather watch our style of play than Stockport's long high balls forward.
I know I'm the eternal optimist but I took a lot of positives from the game yesterday. Sam is young an inexperienced but I think we should all be patient with him. If I was GH, I would be blowing my top at some of the remarks on here. Give him a chance, he is young and as yet inexperienced, but I believe he will some good.
Sorry but I read Graham Rowley's notes in the programme, and I think some of the criticism is unfair on someone who with his family, live and breathe this club. We have had many personnel changes since last season, but are now showing signs of improvement, we just have to be patient. I did not expect what happened this season so far under Neil, and I was as enthusiastic as over fans where. Maybe things would have improved under Neil, but the risk became too great and he had to go.
Lets look onwards now, and be glad of the sings from yesterday, we have started by bringing back Tim Deasy, the next step in the emergence of Harry Cain, an exiting player with a good future for us. This is our club, lets rally round the board, new management and players, and especially the likes of Jake, Shaun and Alan - we are getting better lads.
