Agree with a lot of Hello Kitty post. I used to be a regular for many years, I’ve been twice since the Kidderminster playoff defeat. Never thought that I would, but I have totally lost any interest in going. I do go to the Walks every Saturday, but that’s to do parkrun and I never come away disappointed.
Last week I made some comments towards the radio commentary to which there were a few comments. I listened to some of it today and yes, I was somewhat harsh on the lad, so for that I apologise. Some constructive criticism though, would to be a little less bias, but well done and thank you.
I wish I had the same enthusiasm to go and watch the team like I once had and I’m going back as far as the Lindsay / Wright / Easthall days.

Sorry John not buying into that.  Away to one of the bottom 4 Clubs has to be targeted as an expected 3 points.  Radcliffe on Saturday the same.  Now is the time to deliver as there will be much harder games coming after this where we can’t realistically expect to gain wins.

I see AL is on record as saying there will be at least two changes tonight.  Does this mean he was happy with 8 of the outfield players on Saturday ?  More likely his hands are tied as the squad is rather thin at the moment.  He also said he was bringing another body in. A striker hopefully.

I hope you’re right Mallard, would be great to get all 3 points. Although just because a team is in a play off spot is playing a team in a relegation spot, doesn’t guarantee a win. Having just seen our starting 11, with no recognised forward again, we may struggle to score. Can see AL’s post match interview saying “it’s always a hard place to go, especially on a rainy Tuesday evening’. Hope I’m wrong, but could see us losing. Guess Margetts will come on at some point, but he can’t be fully fit, otherwise he would have started. Predicting a 2-1 defeat. Never good at predictions, so hoping that continues.

If we haven’t got recognised forwards in the starting team, is it any wonder that we struggle to score goals. Just as TW kept bringing in non forwards when we were struggling to score, AL brings in a defender. Yes, I get that it’s not easy to find a proven goal scorer, but without one or indeed any striker at all, we won’t win too many games. Peterborough Sports must have looked at our line and been pleasantly surprised. Imagine getting into the playoffs and playing the likes of Scunthorpe when we field no forwards, the result would be embarrassing, a bit like Kidderminster.
If AL is serious about promotion then he needs to address the current lack of a forward situation. If he is ‘the best manager in the league’ which I don’t think he is, then he would have contacts. Agree too, with the full time team, if we don’t go up this season then I can see us reverting back to part time. I’m sure some of the players are only here because they are getting paid full time wages.

Agree with B&G, an away win is always good. Good that we saw the game out after Warrington scored, that and Omatoyo scoring are very pleasing.
Listening to it via their commentary, they seemed to be wingeing about the ref quite a bit.

I didn’t expect too much from today’s game, it was always going to be a tough ask to come away with anything. Bit surprised at the starting line up though, with Margetts missing and not having a recognised forward starting. Great setup at Scunthorpe and fantastic support, good luck to them for the rest if the season. Good travelling support from us too.
Hopefully we can pick ourselves up and consolidate a play off spot. Feel we do need a new striker, but not Ken Charles as has been suggested. Like Omotayo, not prolific goal scorers. Would be better getting Marriott in on loan, can’t see that happening though.
Have a feeling Margetts will be out for a bit, so we need to get a replacement in sooner rather than later.

Happy New Year to you all.

An excellent result today away at Chester. Looking promising in a play off spot and with the defence looking good with just 1 goal conceded in 6 games. Well done to the team and management on our current e cell ent form.

For 40 odd years I used to be a regular at the Walks. After TW jumped ship and the disappointment of Kidderminster in the play offs, I’ve only been twice, Scarborough last season and Warrington this.
We got into the National League, somewhat fortunately I think it’s fair to say. Covid curtailed the season and although we were second in the league, having played a game less than York, we had the slightly better PPG. Our form slumped dramatically and our game in hand away at Gloucester was postponed, had that game gone ahead and we lost, it would have been York going up instead.
1st season we finished in what would normally have been a relegation spot, but there were no relegation / promotion from and to the National League. 2nd season, we again finished in a relegation spot, so what was learnt / corrected from the previous season?
It’s certainly a big step up and whether or not Mr Cleeve is ambitious, realistically how could we sustain that level with around 1400 gates, which we were getting.
Someone has said we need to replace Gold. He wasn’t at Fylde and Kidderminster for long, so what does that say. How many goals has he scored this season, not enough for sure.
Listening to the commentary last night, we should have scored, that seems to be the case in several games. We missed an opportunity with not signing Toll, his current record would suggest he is better than Gold.
