Your fast becoming the anti Shoey repeating doom scenarios 😂
Anyway how’s the weather “down under” 😉

That’s true Manny, I am a bit. And the weather is currently sh1te, thanks for asking. If they’d have shown me this forecast for a December when I applied for my visa I’d have told them to stick their country up their ar5e.

Horsham, I did not know you had an obsession with me, very weird. Why do you think I should be posting within 30 minutes of the match finishing. No need to rush into an ill considered rant ammediately the game has ended or even during the game. I prefer to wait and reflect before posting and I do not throw my toys out of the pram and go home when we go 0-2 down, in fact I have never left a match before the final whistle. Some people did clap the players off, I believe it is called support, as there is no point in booing and getting on their backs. Not good for their mental health you know, a topic that seems to be brought into almost every conversation these days but was rarely heard years ago.
Anyway, back to yesterday and congratulations to the club on their organisation. I had been to the theatre the previous evening which again was very well organised until the end when everbody was allowed to leave together.
Unfortunately KC got his tactics badly wrong. We are scoring few goals and not creating many chances so we need to keep it tight at the back as we did against Fleetwood when we kept our shape and dealt with balls coming into the box. Once again many of our crosses and free kicks were easy meat for their 'keeper. Some on here say we must start our most creative players Adams and Marshall, well yesterday we did and what did they create. If you are playing a back 3 you still need wing backs with defensive qualities and only Harriman and Mills fall into this bracket. Yesterday Lincoln regularly posted a player out on their left wing and this is where Adams should be tracking back to the cover because as he didn't Harriman got pulled across and they then slipped a ball in behind for a runner to collect taking one of our centr backs out of the game. Their second goal came from a needless free kick, given away by Marshall, when their player was going away from goal out near the touchline. I have touched on this topic before of how many goals we concede from stupid free kicks. Not surprising that Marshall was hooked at half time and I would not be surprises if he and Adams were both let go at the end of the season. Adams for all his assists in division 2 is so far not cutting it in division 1 and I think if Marshall had not taken up his contract option for another season he may not still be here.
As to whether KC remains in control I think he probably has enough credit in KT's opinion from previous seasons. Regarding the matter of cost perhaps we could do a Bury and splash the cash in January on several signings to maintain our status only to go belly up and not be able to continue the next season, at least we will have avoided relegation. It is not only the manager to pay off as a new man will want to bring in his own management team so you are probably looking at paying off 4 staff. A new manager will want to bring in different players and maybe ditch half of the current squad who are under contract. If no other club wants to take them are we paying off their contracts?. The club have no money coming through in gate receipts and although they have received season ticket money they will be liable to offer some form of compensation.
I am not advocating keeping or sacking KC but it is easy for supporters to spend other peoples money. We can all see where the team needs strengthening but in the present economic climate it would be surprising to see a major uplift in January unless our financial position is better than anticipated. I would rather have a club to support next season even if this means dropping back into division 2.

Mr.OAP.You are a true fan of NTFC! My respect to you!

Also,very good words from Mr.Melbourne.

Both have big understanding and big heart for our club!

NTFC needs big hearts to live in this league!

Bit confused about all this criticism of bring Holmes on for a couple of minutes. It has been mentioned as anything from an insult to pointless. Listening to the IACTM podcast it was even described as such on there? However, given that Holmes is on an appearance based contract wouldn’t that have possibly given him a payday? Just saying.

Don’t say that, it makes me sound a bit mercenary?
