Got to say he's lost a bit of appeal for me with his "I'll go if GH goes" article in the paper.  I thought he always wanted to end his career at his local club regardess of who the manager is.

Ecky,

I'm glad that I wasn't the only one to be disappointed by those remarks from Colin Little.

The club is not about a single individual.

Sorry if I thought out perfomance was the best of the season and thought we deserved something out of it.
Sorry if  I can not find a reason to MOAN at OUR players. I'll try harder to find a reason.

I entered the ground on Saturday being the most unarsed I have ever been about watching a football match. Plenty of people asked me what was up and I have never been so unbothered about a match in my life and its not because of the players or club but because of the fans and how negative they are. Its really pathetic.. What do people really expect ? .. I have even stayed off the forum through fear of really blowing my top.... 

Thats what I like people getting behind the players we have though .. That'll help .. There are players at the club who I think are not good enough but I will CLAP \ SUPPORT and SING for them as I want them to do well whilst they wear a red and white shirt. can't see how slagging off our players constantly can possibly help ?

ps: Slagging off O'Neil is getting very boring now seeing as he did quite well at the end of season presentations last season ??

I agree that it was surely our best performance of the season to date and should have resulted in our first collection of three points.
However, it didn't and the principal reason was that we could not convert our chances....and therein lies our continuing problem.
I'm not sure whether the Board could possibly help GH with some extra funds (fewer gold taps in the proposed new toilet block perhaps?!) to finance the arrival of another forward but I fear that unless we bolster our attacking options, that first win will continue to elude us.
I'm sorry but the worth of O'Neill as a striker simply escapes me...so, we'll have to agree to disagree on that one!

today was a big improvement on the previous two games,but i have to concede that we were woeful in the penalty area,with no belief.Senior had a super game,and there was some quality service into the danger area,but until we attempt to recruit another striker,we simply will not score enough goals to accrue 55 points.there was no lack of effort from most of the players,but the fact remains we have now gone 14 conference games without a win,and accumulated just 3 points!

It's only 10 Conference games without a win, actually!

St Albans City away was our last victory in a league match.

I think we need to get a grip of the obvious here..
We ripped Aldershot apart, and could have scored a hatfull, but as has been understated elsewhere, we lacked a goal scorer.
Can't say I've ever got the big deal about Joe O'Neill, but today he was dreadful - jogging along alongside his marker all afternoon! He does next to no running off the ball, and is never in the right place at the right time!! We can make good crosses all day, but Joe won't be on the end of them, and midfielders can look to play into space, but Joe won't be there
And to top it all our biggest threat Senior is taken off, when O'Neill has not been in the game all afternoon.
Sure he tries and holds the ball up, etc, etc, but call me old fashoined, but I think a striker should be able to 'read' the game and score goals
Great effort today, but something is really, really lacking. Seemed kind of obvious to me!! 

Nail hit firmly on head.

Well said.

Teasy....I watched Nice v Rennes last week on Setanta-I had small winning bets on Nice to lead at half time & the game to end in a draw.The ground looks quite interesting.....fairly basic by Le Championnat standards but a proper football ground with a decent atmosphere.

A fantastic win in Marseilles on wednesday by the way!

Flynny,

You need to get a job!

Haven't you got some ironing to be getting on with?

I thought that the writing was on the wall for Rod when Pat McFadden was selected in preference to him at Stafford Rangers last Monday.

To my mind, it's a sensible move for both parties.

Some great Thornley memories, particularly during the first half of the 2001/02 season, when he was at his peak.

I just hope that his move to Witton doesn't mean that Cavell Coo drops back to the bench!

Let's hope that we are writing similarly eulogistic tributes to Carlos Logan in six years from now.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - if you want an example of the importance of a decent run in the side, look no further than Karl Munroe. Looked woeful for a long time after joining the club but went on to show his true worth after playing more regularly.

And he's now been dropped!

(Sorry - couldn't resist that one).

I do think that you make a fair point.....but Coo probably suffered from being initially assigned to the 'problem' left back position.

However, I think that the fact he has dropped down two leagues does speak volumes.
