Nearly all managers are sacked in the end. Neville, Gerrard, Rooney, Mourinho, etc, although Gerrard’s is in the waiting room. Message to SC. Grateful for your efforts and deep pockets in lifting the club to its highest ever level. But all Chairmen, even indeed fans, hear words and phrases in the interview like, eg, “Character, Workrate, Fitness, Strength, Target Man, Putting in a shift, etc., etc., etc…. cliches of which only apply as the main qualities of teams likely to be in a relegation battle for months. Footballers with ability, speed off the mark, and elusive playing styles win matches. I suspect Messi strolling around the pitch between movements of match-winning genius would bring howls of derision from terraces, never mind Barrett!!! Absolutely no idea where the club goes from here….

Bad news. We’re very short on the flair necessary to win games. His skill was looked on as a luxury here, but he’s now at the level he should be. I think the Aldershot players around him will benefit from his creativity. It always surprises me how skilful players often get accused of being “in and out” in games and not “putting in a shift”, but are usually the match-winners, yet the huff and puffers are praised for their workrate despite hardly ever achieving anything. Still it’s all opinions, but now we must get back to battling for survival in this league… But we need more skill if we are to succeed…

Yes, we need to be set up to play more football, and I agree we have more ability in the squad than we are seeing. Leaving out the player(s) that can provide that is a bit like a Sunday roast without the beef!

Sounds more promising than the usual new defender! Has a decent scoring record at lower levels, so fingers crossed - but don’t get excited because he’s a big bloke, that’s 50s football!

Another embarrassing example of ground improvement from the old Southern League days! What’s the matter with us? We have one bit between the end of the main stand and the gate at Seven Sisters end that has a few tables and an occasional barbecue! At least SC could see the potential!

Mall - I think if we don’t pick good players because we prefer effort and “putting in a shift”, that’s where we will finish up!….

Physically fit, mentally fit (whatever that means), and whether”prepared to put in a shift”. Any chance of putting his football ability into the equation? I give up! Enjoy the United Counties League with a team that “fight for the shirt”, or any of the other cliches! We might even finish above Wisbech!

Fosters is right! Players win games, and a team without them are always likely to lose to teams that have them. Everyone seems to include the description “most talented player in the club”, then express doubt about playing him! We are a poor side because we have no playmakers on too many occasions, nor regular scorers. Leaving out Barrett is surely the result of poor judgement, imho.

Getting rid of Barrett will not be “cutting your losses”…. It will be cutting your standard! Something I believe would be acceptable to many, if it meant replacing ability with effort!! A move that will assist our downward slide, imho!

What’s the problem they’re wrestling with? Most talented player on the books. Simples!

Sounds like we’d better sign Crichlow!

Poor result. Listened to the commentary, and it sounded like we were hanging on for grim life. Appreciate it was with 10 men, but it grieves me that, as usual, it isn’t likely, if not impossible, to win points by trying to keep the opposition out for 90 minutes. Despite the apparent new investment, I’m unable to expect good recruitment from a manager who needs 3 points almost regularly, but can’t see he’d have much more chance of getting them if he picked the best player in the club. Ridiculous, imho…

Sounds promising. Well done SC….

Appreciate the input, but I believe formations and workrate are usually of secondary importance to ability. These days, people are rated if they simply quote cliches, and love to see a clattering tackle ( A. mcCoist, for example). It doesn’t surprise me that Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney, and Neville haven’t been successful because they speak the cliches but not the elusiveness and speed off the mark that wins most games. All opinions welcome, as opinions make the world go round! Ps - What’s “that holding role”??!… Or a Number Ten, for that matter!

Well said, Foster cigar, and pleased to meet you. Obviously a football lover. Effort, workrate, chasing balls and sometimes cat being them is relegation fare. The best team usually wins, and that means having the best players. Hang on to Barrett, and find others who use the ball more than their lungs…. COYL…,!
