SOME ADVICE FOR S and H

I do not know what planet realityman is on, He knows nothing about football and only spouts crap, from reading sad websites and believes everything he reads. He should just pipe down and leave the intelligent people to make judgements and observations.

I doubt Scott & Hurst read the usual twaddle on here, but if so I hope they totally ignore it

I suppose its not a bad draw against gainsborough trinity

I haven't been to either game so to comment is hard but what i'm personally looking for this season is the ability to keep the ball.
Too long have we struggled to string together 5 or 6 passes and actually look like we're in control of the bloody thing! I'm more than aware that we're non league now so the calibre of players aren't the highest but lots of other teams somehow manage to pass the ball to each other and work openings, york for example. In training i would be drilling the bejesus out the players, working on knowing where your teammates are and being able to simply pass the ball to them. It really does wind me up!! Pass the ball and move into space, receive the ball and move it on, move into space.  Scoring individual goals is no problem going on last years return but keeping the ball for any period of time has really been the problem. Obviously there's another team involved in a match but that's no excuse for woeful passing and needlessly giving the ball away.

PLAYERS NEED TO GEL! WINNING GAMES BRINGS A WINNING MENTALITY BOTH ON AND OFF THE PITCH! YOUTH PLAYERS WON'T BE PLAYING DURING THE SEASON SO THAT IS A WASTE OF TIME! 433 HAS NEVER WORKED HERE SO FORGET IT! GET THOSE PLAYERS IN WHAT FENTY PROMISED LAST WEEK, THEY NEED TO GEL WITH THE OTHER PLAYERS NOT THE KIDS! Every minute counts and every game counts. You must prepare correctly and as for those who say it does not matter well i refer you to the teams who have been promoted before: just look at crawley's pre season when they were with us. All pre season games should be taken seriously in fact any game should be. I always wanted to win when i played 1st class rugby and i still do now what ever the opposition. Winning is everything and losing is for losers! are you a loser?

4-3-3 is the devils work. No team either in league football or international football has ever won anything....... Oh wait.

Successful teams play to their strengths and exploit weaknesses in others, identifying those strengths takes time and practice. I'm keeping faith S & H will do that.

Quoted from bradzmilne

Realityman speaks some truth, we shouldnt be playing youth players in first team games (even if friendlies are just a 'dressed up training session' )
Playing around with formations are part and parcel of pre season, if we dont have the players to play 4-4-3 its better to find out now rather than the middle of september. In my opinion i think we should play a basic, balanced 4-4-2 but we have more than likely signed to many strikers to do that now.
Am confident that HandS will sort it before to long anyway.

If we can get away with it, we should definitely play 4-4-3

Should do well this year if we play like that all season  

A few points:

1) I am sure Scott and Hurst will be on the phone to realityman first thing tomorrow morning to offer him a job as their advisor.

2) The people moaning about these YT lads playing in friendlies will probably be the same people moaning in a years time when we release all the youths, saying "why do we not give youth a chance"

3) I'd like to know how Fleetwood did last pre-season because I seem to remember them not having a great one and then starting slow failing to score in quite a few games?
