He will have got an easy ride because the majority just go for a night out and sit there like rice puddings.

I could not believe MA's selection today, he called Reed and Fortune the other night and said they weren't good enough, but what the idiot do play them from the start. (was he taking the pee the other night). JBW is a waste of space why did he leave Muggs out when he had been pretty solid in recent weeks,. We had 30mins of some cracking football, went ahead then sank into our old routine of sitting back and eventually gave them enough room in midfield to rocket a free shot into goal. 8 unbeaten, but where's the next win coming from this side of Christmas?

That says it all why leave Muggleton out? That's how low we have sunk to he shouldn't be anywhere near a football pitch

Was it really?
Scenario A) Starts with Denton (carrying a knee), Denton gets clattered, out for 3 months

Scenario B) Starts with Muggs, he gets a straight red and 3 game suspension.

We have a squad and he used it, he put out a strong team from what he has at his disposal. Not like he chucked in a load of kids is it.
TBH, we played a passing game and looked ok with Fortune. Shame he can't last a full 90

I know nowt, but wouldn't it be better to wait until you've heard his explanation before you sum up the situation?

Ironically it might have been sensible to play Muggleton and Denton from the start, since Billericay were hopeless at defending crosses. With a bit of steadiness in front of goal we should have been 3 up inside 20 minutes.
So after that we didn't get many crosses in.

From what I saw at Harrogate, primitive as they are at least they have clear and obvious assets.

Ex Banger boss Kevin Nicholson is still avaialble. Which, given that it's November does make my championing of him seem increasingly suspect I'd accept. However he does at least have some coaching credentials and a decent track record - at a standard that we are probably now rapidly approaching.

What's there to sum up after he had slagged off both players at the QA saying they were not working hard enough to merit a start.

THIS SEASONS OVER AND HAS BEEN FOR WEEKS AND WERE INTO NOVEMBER DAVE

It's far from over Dave, we could find ourselves in a relegation fight if we don't get a goal scoring striker signed pretty quick.

At the midweek Q&A Martin Allen said the following: I will play my strongest team on Saturday, and that Fortune and Reid were not currently good enough to be in the starting line up!!!! Oh the irony.

You really think he is going to give advance team selection.

[Siberian Spireite]

I've found the root of Martin Allen's clever psychological approach (two minutes in):

The point is he made a big issue at the Q&A that he'd answer all questions honestly
