Everyone's fault but the managers đ Another thing , last Tuesday Winchester limped off injured , thankfully he was back Saturday , and yet we risk him again tonight in this Micky mouse cup and off he limps again , poor management that is Given your posts over the last couple of years to you Steve and Brian destroyed this club and we're lucky that we haven't gone into administration with a 30 point deduction. They didn't spend millions, they spent a competitive league one budget which required a one off injection of 500k to correct which some teams in this division spend on a single player. Last year you wouldn't say a word against Taylor or Moore, and arguably they had better players at his disposal than this year, particularly in defence. yes obrien far better than orielly đ I think Savin is better than marosi hurst clearly takes nsiala with him just like he takes doig đ as for last seasons squad , just a reminder , Taylor did better with them than hurst did ( same squad ) |

I think instead of Man of The Match nominees, we should have a Dud of The Dross nominations each game 𤣠lots to choose from tonight. What a pile of poop.

I am looking for positives after this start to the season but there seem to be very few. Looking at the squad we have only a small number of players who are currently or have been recently consistently operating at League 1 level - Winchester, Shipley and the Benning from last season, Feeney at a push. Nurse would be included in that group if he can regain his fitness. Then we have players who have been at League 1 level in the past but are now in the twilight of their careers - Nsiala, Pierre and Marquis (who still looks reasonably fit and could still be a decent signing given some good service). We also have players who are perhaps more of a League 2 standard who have not yet fully established themselves at League 1 level - the likes of Perry, Bloxham, and perhaps Hoole, Biggins and Lloyd though we have not seen too much of the latter two yet.
We do have the promising loanees and from what we have seen so far they look a cut above those from last season in terms of ability. The trouble is that to get the best out of these and to counter their lack of experience they need to come into a team that is already functioning at least at a basic level and we dont have that at the moment. Then there are the new players who have all shown some promise but have been often injured in the past - Rossiter, Kayode and Savin.
From everything I have seen this season that squad overall is simply not strong enough to stay in League 1 and possibly would not even be top half of league 2.
We know PH has been a decent manager in the past but we cant expect miracles from him. However, what I cannot fathom though is our appalling home form under him since his return - 1 win and 2 draws from 10 league games is among the worst sequences I can remember under any manager. We have a crucial game coming up on Saturday against a team with no points like us but also a team which comfortably beat us at the end of last season. If we dont see a much improved performance and a positive result in that game I shudder to think what the reaction will be.

I couldn't care Roland has made more than enough money from this club, including me, you and everyone else on this board he 'buys' into the club.
He's wasted loads buying the silence of Steve Cotterill, possibly Sam Ricketts and John Askey as well maybe Matt Taylor.
He's likely a steadier ship then some out there, just look at the horror that Reading fans are enduring, Wrexham fans as well.
But this perpetual nonsense of 'living within his means' is stupid.
After all when he moved the club to the New Stadium he did say it had 'Championship' ambitions.
Don't get Micky 'Ya know Wha I Mean' Moore to smooth over the waters for you either.

Cotterill saved the club from relegation, got the bluffers Sam Ricketts signed from Wolves out of the club and generally improved the team as a whole, it wasn't pretty but it is there on paper. Roland Wycherley wants all the credit when it's going well, when it's going bad there Is always a convenient scapegoat. Paul Hurst look out, all though to be fair you've already done it back to us once. |

Good post Scarecrow I agree with the majority. ÂŁ500k in a decade ? Roland has put ÂŁ2m in to pay wages since January 23 , money he will never get back a new owner isn't going to be interested until roland stops doing that and instead builds up a big debt & puts the club into admin , Only then comes along the next guy , pays off the 25p in the pound to clear the admin , at this point football Is relevant Roland has put in ÂŁ2 million and won't get it back?

If we dont see a much improved performance and a positive result in that game I shudder to think what the reaction will be. This is a depressingly accurate post, sadly. With the exception of Nsiala who's just looking like a bizarre signing, I think most of the recruitment on paper this season and the players left from last leaves us with a squad full of players that wouldn't be terrible in the right circumstances.
But as you say they also almost all have at least one thing wrong with them, whether that's slowing down, having potential but not really having proven it or being a decent player with pretty much no experience at first team level.
We're really crying out for that experienced spine that you can bring in players with potential and/or players that aren't as good around. I think you could make a case for the only ones who are at the right level being Winchester and Shipley, perhaps Savin who's looking good tbf and Feeney at a stretch.
As it is, we've just got a horribly unbalanced squad and that's been evident for a while, which will rival Turner's final season on that front. It's a terrible sign that we're now in a situation where we're not out of August and I just feel sorry for everyone - it's not the players fault that they're not good enough, it's not Hurst or Moore's fault that they're being expected to pull of a miracle with a budget that's plainly not fit for a competitive League 1 and Roland - well, I don't know the full truth of how we've got here but it's a shame that a largely good owner and Town fan's tenure looks like it's ending like this.

With money tight I expected Hurst to concentrate on getting us back to basics, organised, fit, strong defensively and difficult to best, dare I say it, a bit like Cotterill did when he came in.
Instead we have one of our worst defences in years and have been recruiting attack minded players where it's difficult to see where they all fit. And that's the big issue here, whats the plan? What formation/style of play are we trying to play because I can't figure it out. And that is on the manager.
I'm hoping that the 'no more signings' is Hurst trying to play down people's expectations and instead he's telling Mickey/Roland we need to strengthen the defence to give us any chance of staying up.

Not sure if anyone elese experienced this but already interest is dropping off. Normally in the group chats I'm in, there will be messages before the game to see who is going, meeting for a drink, updates during the match and then normally the post match moans. Even in the Pizza Cup games there's a couple of people who go.
But last night there was nothing, no one even asked who was going and then not a single update on the match or a post match view. It will be interesting to see how many are out on Saturday

I have said before the club is stagnating and I stick by that
There are some things worth pointing out about the playing side so far this season though
There is in my view no lack of effort
The players look fitter than this time last year
They are trying( unsuccessfully at the moment) to play football
again we have suffered from injuries for a small squad
the loanees look very decent
Add to that we have had a very tough start in a very very strong division
Having said all that we will go down unless we get better centre halves and Bloxham appears to have gone backwards why?
some of the permanent signing recruitment looks as though it must have been very inexpensive and are average at best
the patience of the supporters is not unlimited
The club needs investment
where will it come from?

It will be interesting to see how many are out on Saturday Very much so and itâs not at all surprising, to be honest itâs building on last season where the rot was setting in. I know none of us are in it for the glory, but a record across all competitions of 5 defeats and one draw (won on penalties) is not going to be exciting to anyone, and nor is the embarrassing home record since Hurst has returned. |

I think you know what why that is. Because the chairman wonât sell, and has left us with a playing budget that is a fraction of what the rest of the clubs in the division each have to play with. You have to ask where the money has gone. All big earners other than Shipley are off the books, we had a a fee for Sraha, and none of this seasonâs signings are on anything north of ÂŁ3k. So how on earth isnât there enough money in the budget for a few more signings? Bizarre and concerning. I think the answer is more straightforward than people think. Roland set a budget every season which hasn't increased really over the last decade and we've finished in the bottom half nearly every year in a relegation scrap. Every year the division has become more competitive and tougher as Championship teams have dropped down but not automatically gone back up. This year is different however because we've had teams come up that are more competitive and unlikely to go down and be in that pool of relegation candidates with us (ie Wrexham and Stockport). Under Askey and Ricketts Roland got his balance of payments. Steve came in to the club and kept us up in his first season. Brian and Steve quickly realised that the budget set was uncompetitive in the division and overspent, against what Roland established we could afford. In the end in January Roland and Steve have had a huge falling out, probably because Steve knew the amount it would take to reach the playoffs in his last season and wanted Roland to fund 3 more players for that push. Roland was unhappy about the overspending and having his ego challenged. We finished 12th under Steve with a competitive budget for the division, much higher than the one Roland set at the start of the season.
Last season Moore cleared as much of the ship as he could with many of the established League 1 players in the team on higher wages than we could afford and they knew they were going to be uncompetitive once they saw how dreadful Taylor and Bignot were as a management team. Leahy was sold and the money probably covered a portion of Flannagan, Marosi, Bayliss; wages for the year but realistically the budget was higher by legacy of those contracts. T hose players in the second half of the season downed tools once they realised they were unlikely to get another contract here and wanted to protect themselves on the way out.This season there is no legacy in the budget other than Shipley, who I'd imagine Moore would love to shift given his wages are likely to be high, but given how he plays well once every five games its unlikely he's got a row of suitors lining up. T his season's budget is the norm and the standard for what Roland wants. Steve and Brian delayed the relegation we'll experience this year by three years by overspending and creating a 'competitive' league one budget. We do not have a competitive budget this year, a nd Roland putting in 500k once in a decade to "bail us out" hardly means that Steve and Brian bankrupted the club during their tenure.I don't blame Hurst for this mess, I blame Roland. I got rid of all your biased guesswork and there isn't a lot to go off. It simply isn't simple. What everyone seems to forget is the price of everything has gone through the roof the last few years (except football ticket prices which have risen lower than inflation). I expect a fair few establish football league clubs to do a bury in the next few years. I just hope we are not one of them. We have no idea what last seasons accounts are. My guess is they carried on in the same direction as the year before putting us in worrying debt which has led to a drastic reduction in the playing budget. Not sure what the alternative was tbh. Should we have spent beyond our means to finish 17th? That seems to be the norm but I can't understand how other clubs seem to sustain it. For all the perceived improved communication from the club we really have no idea what is going on at Salop but the signs are very concerning. |

Like most fans I eagerly await team news an hour before kick off and see how close the actual team is to what I hoped to see. At 2pm at Huddersfield I was reasonably happy looking down the list but was surprised to see Tom Bloxham in the starting eleven but accepted that we back the managers opinion until the game progresses. We sit in the car afterwards and chew the fat and assess each playerâs performance. On to the next game and the same process begins as it did tonight. I said I was surprised on Saturday so tonight I was absolutely astounded. What is he offering to keep getting a starting berth? I am not blaming him for tonightâs result - other players that I feel should not be getting starts can carry the can for that but I am not so surprised to see them as they are picked in their preferred position. TB doesnât seem to have such a position but somehow gets fitted in. I hope that Saturday sees that change. I hope Nurse comes in but whether that will be lest Centreback or left back is anyoneâs guess as both positions are woefully served at present. I am assuming Bloxham was playing to allow O'Rielly to be rested with the knowledge that Bloxham will be on the bench on Saturday. It was a meaningless cup game afterall. Could also be due to Bloxham's height as Sageo and Castledine are not the biggest which would leave us a bit light at set pieces. Either way I expect him to be enjoying the padded bench on Saturday. |

We looked better defensively away at Huddersfield last Saturday. It's disappointing that it seems to be one step forward, two steps back when it comes to tightening up our defence. With no competition for places the 2 full backs are also shoe ins at the moment. Yes itâs not just the centre backs that are worrying. Benning was beaten far too easily at times and offered Sagoe no support going forwards. Hoole is giving me Darren Simkin vibes - he can manage the absolute basics but wouldnât look anything out of the ordinary playing 3 or 4 tiers below. Admittedly put in a good cross for Marquisâ chance but that was where the positives ended. Taylor Perry is far too weak to play a central midfield role - he lost virtually every 50/50 challenge last night. Castledine looked decent when given the ball and won plenty in the air surprisingly. Sagoe is also promising - unfortunately he had to beat 4 men just to get out of our own half! |

Town get outplayed by far better side with far more money shock
Maybe if Roland could give hursty 2 million to buy a couple of players like Ipswich did everything will be fine đ

If SC had done anything illegal or fraudulent, why wasnât it put to the Courts to decide. Surely no wages would need to be paid if the Court ruled in the clubâs favour. Because Caldwell wrote the cheques The fact he wasn't going to play ball with the dof changes led to him being sacked , I presumed gross misconduct was the idea , but the PFA are pretty good at standing up for sacked managers and sorting out pay cheques they don't deserve , SC was a first class rogue who took our club for a ride got away with it and laughs in our face Spinning the line the chairman didnât know about the overspend is ridiculous, again. The chairman spends his life at the club, to pretend he doesnât control the club and gave free rein to BC and SC is utter nonsense. |

The chairman spends his life at the club, to pretend he doesnât control the club and gave free rein to BC and SC is utter nonsense. Spinning the same old line is becoming tedious in the extreme đł |

If SC had done anything illegal or fraudulent, why wasnât it put to the Courts to decide. Surely no wages would need to be paid if the Court ruled in the clubâs favour. Because Caldwell wrote the cheques The fact he wasn't going to play ball with the dof changes led to him being sacked , I presumed gross misconduct was the idea , but the PFA are pretty good at standing up for sacked managers and sorting out pay cheques they don't deserve , SC was a first class rogue who took our club for a ride got away with it and laughs in our face This is fairly spectacular stuff now. So Steve C was sacked. Gross Misconduct was "the idea" (these things are usually dealt with prior to the sacking of course) but then the PFA intervened. On behalf of a manager (where were the LMA?!!) They then sorted out an undeserved pay cheque which they are of course notorious for. Cots then laughed in our faces. Brilliant. |

Man that back four is so so bad. Benning has regressed significantly, Hoole looks below par, and Pierre just isnât good enough to be playing in League One. He looked like he was towing a caravan tonight. We need to start playing a three in midfield, with Winchester or Rossiter anchoring in front of the two central defenders. So many times tonight they played through balls between our central midfielders and centre backs. It was so easy. Weâre just going to get battered every week if we play a two with a CAM in front. Hoole, Pierre and Nisala don't have a clue, can't do the basics, you just wait for them to mess it up, conceded another goal and cost us another game. Hurst picked them so the crap defence is down to him. If Hurst waits for January to bring in the defenders we need it will probably be too late, |
