It was nothing personal Mall, as I realise there are a lot of people who fancy a more locally based team playing at a lower standard. That would be the end of any possibility of progress, imho. The “food” reference was merely of the question as to which would come first, the infrastructure/chicken that would attract wider investor interest, or the investment/egg that could improve the infrastructure and the club as a whole. Considering we built one of the best non-league stands in the 50s, it’s disappointing we’ve basically done nothing, or reduced, ever since. And personally I don’t believe “Academies” are much help at our level, because any players with potential will probably go to bigger and better clubs than ours. I’m hoping the new Finance director will have some ideas and contacts….

Two things bother the Dillathon computer. 1) Mall and others, myself included, were gutted when we were relegated from NLN, and more so when we dropped into the UCL. But talk of getting a local team with local players is, to me, dropping down to those levels voluntarily, which imho would be tragic, and kill off a lot of interest. 2) Our complete lack of development of the ground is a hindrance to attracting new investors. This time of the year we see FA Cup ties at similar level clubs to ours, and can see how their infrastructure has starkly outgrown ours over the years. I feel that without proper terraces and cover behind both goals, most potential investors would find it difficult to imagine enough potential to attract their interest and investment. I realise it’s a chicken and egg situation.

2nd game on the trot where we apparently hardly came out of our half for the first half. Defensive line-ups or teams regularly give goals away because the opponents spending most or all of the game in our half are going to get regular chances. Until we have an attacking midfield to go with the forwards we’re not going to get anywhere. My opinion anyway….. Mid table at best, and it could be worse, and dodgy…

The commentator on SS Radio said at half-time KL had only managed one shot at goal throughout, and that went wide. However many wins or draws we manage to “grind out”, it is obvious we have a poor team that can only hope to stay at this level as their current ambition. I don’t know what is the matter with the club. We’re still about the only club at this level with no stand behind the goals. Progress over the decades has been hopeless…. The patience of the fans, albeit the dwindling number, is surprising. But we all still live in hope…..

Great win at Spennymoor. I hope and think there is room for optimism at last! Three things enthusing the Dillyputer - Six games without defeat, up to 2nd in the league, and most encouraging of all, I’ve spotted that there has been mention of the team having plenty of speed in it, (imho, for the first time for ages). With the arrival of speed, we will pin opponents back more often than we have for some time. On personnel matters, is Hamami injured?… and Boston won’t have a problem getting a new manager, because they all speak the same cliches, and availability of money is the only tactic that counts… COYL….

A defensive line-up always concedes a goal or two. We’ve suffered from that tactic for too long…

Academies and “local lads” don’t work at this level because if they are good enough they will be picked off by bigger clubs, which most are, at the level we’re trying to achieve. That system would only work if the crowd are happy to simply be better than Wisbech!

Certainly agree with Rod. Imho, none of the players at any level would understand a word of the tactics talked for an hour before the game and another hour afterwards. Pep G can hardly keep a straight face when he gets a pretentious question from Redknapp, and the poor subs have a job giving a coach with an ‘-pad an impression they’re listening and looking at the pictures before he goes on. Formations only work on a Subbuteo board where the players stay in position. On a real pitch the players keep damn moving! And the all in-wrestling in penalty areas before corners is absolutely ridiculous! Winning teams have good mobile players all over the pitch, and move in numbers either up or down! The more good players we get, the better we’ll do!!!…

Few teams with three centre-halves keep clean sheets. Plus, do we have attacking midfielders? The “sitting” variety makes any team a man short….

Needs more attacking players than defenders. It’s a simple game. A man or two spare in all situations, whether with the ball or not. Just an opinion, but defending doesn’t defend, it lets them attack, imho, of course!

Don’t know these players yet, but the selection looks top-heavy with defenders as usual, That always means the opponents spend far more time attacking us than vice-versa. Hope I’m wrong, but we only appear to have had about 4 attacking players on the pitch.

6 ft 4? But can he run, or trap a football?! Has anyone seen him play?

Anyone out there who could build us a terrace in the Open areas, and increase those behind the goals. No point having big ambitions and trying to attract a Commercial person while the combo of our facilities and ambitions look silly on tv!
