Mr Villa Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 How long before, Chester, Barnet, Port Vale and Notts go into admin? I include Notts at the minute, as our Chairman is refusing to give accounts to the supporters trust who own the majority stake in the club. They have no idea how much money we have, could 1 million or 1 pound. Don't see a reason for refusing to show the accounts unless there is somehting to hide, I am quite worried tbh, if we go into addmin that will be it for us :s.

Darlo going in might tempt somebody though, they wouldn't be alone on minus points next season and would fancy to stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjfh Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 So annoying we again drew at home last night. All these draws are why we are going down. Grimsby & Chester look like they'll never win again but we just can't catch them. Think if Harford had kept it with the 3 he had up front on Sat then we would have been better. Parkin is just no good and all the players do is hit it up to him. The other thing was for the last 25 minutes Chris Martin was on the right of midfield which is not where he should be.

hjfh Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Today was so frustrating. Why Harford sent Price back in favour of Brill playing and also how Parkin gets a game is beyond me. The players just hit it up to Parkin but he never gets to the ball, last Saturday with Gallen up front it was kept on the ground. Harford is now blaming lack of midfielders, well Spillane was on the bench, he should of played. We had 5 strikers playing at one point today!

Harford is now blaming lack of midfielders, well Spillane was on the bench, he should of played. We had 5 strikers playing at one point today! To be fair I don't blame Harford for keeping faith in Brill, he came in and did a job and until today had gone unbeaten with him in goal, why pay the wages of a championship loan keeper if he isn't needed. I'd guess Button is on far less than Price so makes sense if Harford had faith in Brill to do this. To quote somebody from the three counties phone in after the game Harford is "Tacticaly ********" , he'se got a great eye for a player in my opinion but doesn't utalise them well. For me it's a no brainer that if Spillane's fit he plays in the team, he has been our best player this season. Hopefully maybe both him and Pilkington fit midweek and they can play together at centre backs. Parkin needs dropping in my opinion as doesn't suit our style. Let Craddock and Martin work together up front and they'll get goals, don't make them get stuck out wide just so the fat lump can play in the middle. I'd line up like this Tuesday: (yas I get to go see us play Tuesday ) Brill Asafu-Adjaye Pilkington Spillane Davis Henderson Hall Keane Howells Martin Craddock Bower Gallen Parkin Charles Button would beat most teams in this divison in my opinion, todays tactical decisions open up the whole Harford debate again as to if he should be in charge next season, in my opinion should let him stay for JPT final and then he should go, win or lose the final. I can't stand the thought of him staying next season and it not going well, fans will be on his back from day one if we aren't winning. Lets face it if we lost the JPT semi final he wouldn't be in a job now imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the annoying thing, a pairing of Craddock and Martin would be one of the best outside the Championship. It was just beyond a joke with Martin today, he was on the left wing and he is right footed. I just can't see Harford dropping Parkin as he went on about how he desperatly wanted a target man. If we lose at Wembley maybe Mick will just resign. I'd imagine he can always get a job at Newcastle as long as Kinnear manages to resume work there.

I wouldn't be suprised if Parkin isn't here by loan deadline day, with us almost down we can't justify paying his wages and I'm pretty sure we could find some mugs in a promotion / relegation fight in league 1 or 2 who would take him for rest of the season and pay his wages. I think Mick will do the right thing, if he knows there's something better out there for the club he would offer to leave. My only worry of the set up we have these days is how built around the whole love of the club, I don't care if the manager loves the club , thats the owners job and they do. I'd quite happily have a manager whose only here for his paycheck and wins football matches. The one thing I expected the start of the season was we wouldn't go down without a fight. We'd push for every points until we couldn't stay up and even then we'd fight on to get as close to other teams as we could. I'd be rather dissapointed if we give up the fight and go down by 15 to 20 points as it gets to the stage we were relegated because we wern't good enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough, you weren't the worst team to come to Valley Parade this season. Chester and Macclesfield were noticeably worse, but spent the entire game with everyone defending so we only got four points from the games. We just played better yesterday, and the early goals meant that you couldn't just stick everyone on your own goal line as Macclesfield basically did on Tuesday. You showed at least a bit of ambition and footballing ability, rather than booting it as far away as possible from the goal every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
