Its a fair point. Ultimately, I think the quality issues in our squad are such, that any system we deploy will have shortcomings.

I see a parallel with the squad Parky inherited - not only is it very poor, but there's a chronic lack of width and pace. One of the first things he did was bring in Kyel Reid and it made a huge difference, it served to remind us how much we'd been lacking in someone who could carry the ball for 30 or 40 yards and beat a full back.

 

Not at all, I'm not in the know. What I do know however is that Evans usually gets what Evans wants. Only a few weeks ago Paul Scally the Gills owner was saying they would go bust, then Evans pipes up and they sign one or two players and then the rumour about Connor and an alleged bid of £200k turned down and an alleged value of £400K.
Evans will have taken that as an indication the lad is available and will be working on it. No cat out of any bag but I've seen enough of Evans at close quarters and spoken to enough Chairmen, some of whom employed him to know how he operates. In my view if he is real in a desire to get Connor he will be in the owner's ear several times a day until it happens.
Totally distasteful character but gets results which seem to satisfy at least some of his employers.

 

Stuart has not learnt from the past and nor will he learn in the future, He is stubborn and believes he always knows best regarding football, It is the main reason sadly he will probably fail again.

 

I know I’m probably going to kop some flack but I must have been watching a different match to everyone else. Thought Harrogate looked a very good outfit, I’d tip them for promotion and deserved to win but I didn’t think we were as bad as some of the comments in social media have made us out to be and think we contributed to a good game. I remember watching us under Bowyer when we couldn’t string two passes together and looked totally disinterested. I saw a City team that put in effort but lack a bit of guile. Levels dropped in the 2nd half but I think some of the flack aimed at the younger players is unfair. I thought French and Sutton did ok, they’re going to make mistakes. Maybe my expectations have dropped after the garbage I’ve witnessed since Yeovil but as I say, I thought it was an entertaining game and I think the group of players Stuart has there are an improvement on what we had a year ago and there’s the foundation to build a promotion winning team. Just my opinion and acknowledge it goes against current mood.

 

Just wanted to say I looked at this pre-March interview with their manager Simon Weaver.
Good interview, and he comes across as a really decent guy:

 

Thanks Trevor, this is perfect. I got in touch with city and the games definitely just for season ticket holders in iFollow.

 

Think they'll come here to frustrate, which is what they did when they went to port vale a few weeks back. The sort of team where you can't give away the first goal and give them something to hold onto. Fast start and early goal and I think we'll win.

 

Time for a comedy gold moment.
City will "turn up" tonight and we will witness a reet tonking of The Betty's Brigade.

 

Nearly 2 to 1 to win at home? Think its heart ruling head but I've lumped on. Fingers crossed!

 

Doesn't deserve to be in the squad.

 

I see
Donaldson going to tire them out before unleashing the new man

 

hopefully we've sold him.

 

No its Guthrie that clubs were chasing .

 

cricfree.tv is always decent

 

Sorry for not getting my facts right but, could you tell me how looting, rioting, defacing statues and being annoyed at 1000s of years of History shows me the difficulties they face.

 

My original comment dealt with the match, the reply to it didn't mention the match.
I will not comment further and apologise.
