Always does it when we lose. Doesn’t post when we win only when we lose normally and always blames Glendon. Obsessed weirdo who is even more weird in real life going by what I’ve been told by many posters 👀 Anyone asks what I do in my spare time and I tell them I trawl through people’s post history on Devachat. They soon disappear. I’d imagine you probably do much worse judging by the PM’s I’ve received 😂😳

Perceptive stuff. All I’ll say is, and it’s dead easy, is that he’s the fulcrum of our midfield and we don’t create or score much. He’s got a decent goal tally this season (as has Whitehouse) but the reason I heard ‘fucking shite’ in the Blues Bar afterwards is due to lack of creativity. Don’t have a massive agenda against him, more to do with the fact that I’m constantly told how ridiculously marvellous he is and that the reason why we constantly don’t hit the mark is because the midfield doesn’t work. Watch him track, it’s wild. You really just have one target, don't you. Many worse performances. How you can absolve Weeks, who was dire today, and pick Glendon, who was average, is beyond me. Why not pick out Peers, who couldn't win a ball in the air all afternoon, mistiming all of his jumps and had a mare. Iwan Murray won more than he did against those defenders. spot on Glendon no worse than weeks or peers today not sure how he can keep on at Glendon

One huge positive is the attendances have been good, considering how boring most of the home games have been.

Most of that is down to us being towards the top of the league, having a manager people like and an honest likeable bunch of players. We've also got a good number of younger supporters coming through the gates too. Let's hope that continues.

I thought without being anywhere near at our best yesterday we were still in total control of the game with out really creating too many chance’s, they then made a mistake and we scored the goal that our total possession of the ball deserved. We then did what we always do and sat back a little and let them grow into the game towards the end of the half, I don’t know if it’s got something to do with the number of clean sheets we have kept but we lack the killer instinct to go for a second and third to kill the game off. I don’t see any point in blaming individuals after a performance like yesterday it’s a team mentality thing not errors from individuals but we do need to improve because it’s nowhere near nailed on that we will make the playoffs unless we turn the draws into wins.

One huge positive is the attendances have been good, considering how boring most of the home games have been. It's funny really that we have all the ingredients of what fans want to see. We pass it around nicely and keep the ball well, we've won a lot of home games (although we've been a bit hit and miss since Christmas), we generally don't concede many, we have a young manager who was a boyhood fan and a likeable, hardworking team. Yet somehow I'd say we're not a great watch a lot of the time, possibly even most of the time. Calum has made us a very steady and organised team who keep games tight, and that was desperately needed after the B&J area where results were pretty erratic, but sometimes I think it's to our detriment. I'd still like to see him take more risks at home. If you're drawing at home to a weaker team with 10 minutes to go, I think you've got to throw caution to the wind a bit. That will mean now and again you'll get hit on the break and lose, but if you win one that's as good as drawing three.

Imagine how many more potential customers we could bring through the turnstile if we were a better, more entertaining and exciting watch at home. Yes it's a results business but the mentality has to change and that has to come from the managers style of play.

I do think that Tollitt is probably the missing link. Unfortunately that is what he was yesterday. Shame, because I haven't seen him yet.
A fully fit Adam Thomas might have helped as well.

Somewhere between 3rd and 6th is where we'll finish I think.

Absolute strange bloke, username says it all…. I’d put my mortgage on us making the playoffs, rather be ahead like we are now and everyone else relying on games in hand

Essentially agreeing with your remark about drawn games.

When Norton scored I was pleased of course, but a bit annoyed that I hadn't managed to post my prediction of a 2-0 win with goals by Norton and Peers. And then it went all tits up with a Spennymoor equaliser, which was even more annoying.
