Finding players has been difficult with the exception of deasey I'm not sure anyone we signed would be an improvement on are starting 11 from the promotion season

[GB Alty]

whats happened to the (unbudgeted for) cup money Puka?

Either its not been made available to the manager or he doesn't know any players or have any contacts at this level. Which one is it Puka?

No idea Jamie, why dont you ask the club ? Judging from Tols piece on the main website its finding the right players.

The Tolson interview is quite revealing

Bless them for trying but it seems that they have no contacts or know any players at this level

To stay up I think we going to need a management team that knows the level imo

What team do you think that is?

[Bath Alty]

Could be something to do with the transfer window at our level as well.  Slagging off the management for not getting players in while they are not actually allowed to does make you look a little silly.

other teams have signed plenty on loan or non contract, who is the one who looks silly?

Just a thought; one Graham Heathcote might be a handy scout!

Ham, I happen to agree with your point here, but can I please ask a favour and stop being so antagonistic. Thanks.

By this logic the mgmt did have contacts enough last season to keep us up.

Why don't you name the manager you'd like at Moss Lane?

'Nicky (left) is genuinely struggling. He was due to see a specialist, anyway, about a hernia, and we were hoping he would be able to get through the rest of the season but it has now completely flared up.

This is a bit worrying, surely the plan wasn't to carry on with Nicky as we were doing til the end of the year? Christ.

We must be short on funds if that was the idea. And if that's the case we really should be told.

All this must've been apparent when we had 2 players injured v Barnsley then we got embarrassed at Macclesfield with £17k extra prize money in our back pocket?

Sorry, but the squad management has been terrible this season - unless there are things we aren't being told, which makes it a bit unfair on the management team - stemming from very moderate summer recruitment, even with rose tinted spectacles on.

this is my point exactly Ballers, but as ever you but it much better than I ever could.
 
Also talk of "stepping up" the search and us "always looking" for players. Would suggest we have been actively trying but just can't attract/don't know the players that every other local club seems to, rather than actually wanting to run a small squad as was previously suggested.

Lately, I've lost a bit of interest in the club I have followed for nearly 30 years. This season I've had the feeling that as a club we are resigned to going down. The going with 11/12 players thing is becoming a standing joke now - some of the lads are just being run into the ground. As Ballers points out, if there is a problem behind the scenes, it would just be good for fans to find out, surely the club owe us that?

my feelings exactly

I think the problem is our management team are looking for an ideal player. Somebody who adds something drastically to our team.

But because we've been waiting for that player, or those player to come in, we've done some serious damage to other players.
