Wasnt there yesterday was on way back from Lake District and approaching Manchester around 1pm very nearly hopped on the train to Halifax, thank god i decided against it! Just from all the games so far though its plain to see the whole side lacks a presence, no presence upfront to bring best out in Madden Zero presence and drive in midfield to dictate the game and provide ample protection to backline or give any significant supply to the frontline, i've shouted til the cows come home on here that will get nowhere with Collar and Croasdale in there, no pace or dynamism, Collar has to be the most identity less midfielder weve had, not a good holding player, not a box to box player, not an attacking midfielder, just meh in all facets which contributes to being bobbins overall, Croasdale just rats around with little quality, cant pass to save his life, no pace, the best midfielders even at this level should be capable of receiving the ball in tight situations and shifting it on quickly, thats how you stretch teams, he poos his pants and plays the negative ball back to Hinchliffe or gets caught in possesion like he did in lead up the 3rd against Yeovil Backline Hogan has been an aberration this year and too rash, makes all the right noises in his interviews and generally articulates himself well but is not leading by example on the pitch by any stretch and one of first to call out others for his own shortcomings Rusk said Fryers was 50/50 for the game same as Raikhy last week, did he not learn his lesson with Quigley and Raikhy last week to pick a half fit player? which brings me onto Fryers seems a panic buy only played just over 90 games in a 10 year career for a reason, does nobody vet these players backgrounds before brought in just as a name, look at profile generally players careers are on a downward spiral for a reason! Upfront we have Reid and Madden who just dont compliment each other its one or the other with a player capable of bringing them into play alongside them, Reid is a big lad but very weak in physical battles but we should know what his limitations are and Paddy must be so frustrated with the constant shite being pumped up to him, the German lad not in squad again not having he is injured there is a pic on twitter of him getting off the coach in his training kit before game so he's obv fit to play but deemed unselectable, havent even seen him play as id gone to pub before he came on vs Yeovil, but surely if bring him in you should use him or at least be on the bench as an option to change things up All calls to go 442 and suggestion is it made us worse yesterday, even had Whitfield's girlfriend tweeting clubs account saying has he been brought on yet, he'd been on 20 mins and being completely anonymous that even his biggest supporter didnt notice haha It feels almost like team we built under McIlroy we dont seem to have much height or presence in the right areas, lack of pace and drive throughout the team We have players that aren't battle hardened enough for this division likes of Fish and Raikhy arent going to be options we need to get us out the mire, need your proper hardened National League players through spine of your side at this level and some proper character, then add the so called extra quality alongside them to supplement the spine The recruitment and profile of the squad is utterly scandalous given the outlay, the problem is there is so many within the structure that who is ultimately accountable gets diluted, but you'd have to say Wilson and Rusk will have to bear the brunt of this and maybe a simplified structure sack off DOF and 3 assistants on the bench, back a proper manager to make his own decisions on players with a bit of help from scouting network, so there can be no doubts the buck stops with them Cos the team we have now lacks any identity of what it is we are trying to achieve, its rudderless, lacks leadership, powderpuff and goes missing at the first sign of adversity hence why folded so cheaply and tamely yesterday, pull your sleeves up and accept not everything in a game will go your way and find, some, heart and pride the type of things money cant buy, but make sure we are doing some proper diligence on the type of player and character we are bringing into the club that will provide the effort and desire the fans deserve and Mark Stott deserves too given his willingness to invest We are miles off the pace in a lot of areas and dont think its knee jerk to say a change is needed, as title hopes have probably already gone, so time to act before playoffs become a pipe dream and season is a write off as a whole Went to a wedding near Workington last weekend so thankfully missed the Yeovil game .on the way back home last Sunday we stopped off at Keswick and Windermere Much better than watching county right now

Too many of our players lack Dignity, they'd rather be sipping down Raikhy and reading Maynard Keanes and thinking about home and all that that means

I’m just getting angrier by the hour and can’t even stand the thought of listening to any more bullshit from Rusk.. looks like Keighren feels the same after his post match disappearance yesterday. Either that or Jon asked Rusk whether he could ask a challenging question.

What a massive difference between the clubs, Halifax managing on a shoestring with gates of 1500 and us with gates over 5000 with massive investment, Pete Wild has done a great job there considering he constantly loses his best players, surely Stott can see the glaringly obvious shortcomings in our set up. Maybe because Pete Wild doesn't have the interference of a D.O.F. & other analysts with silly titles & is able to put together a team of players that actually work together well as a team & play to their strengths rather than a bunch of expensive misfits who simply don't function as a unit anymore. We've signed players from 2 divisions above who actually look worse than the players we had from the NLN. There was nothing fancy about Halifax but they beat us so so easily. For all our domination & possession in the 1st half we didn't make it count & the 2nd half was dire, Their keeper made one save & we had a few corners that we either under hit or over hit. I admit i walked out just after their 2nd as that was it, game over. I'd seen all i needed to see to know in it's current guise this team is going nowhere, forget automatic promotion we ain't even going to trouble the play off spots if we carry on like this. For all Rusk's faults i think certain players are taking the piss. As mentioned elsewhere, this group have managed to see off Jim & are likely to see off Rusk as well. Despite the result & performance it was still a great away day. The sun was shining, some good places to sup, the pork pies in the three pidgeons were top notch! The shay nowadays is probably one of my favourite grounds, A proper footy ground, i'd love it if it was our ground with those two big terraces behind each goal, & the 'retro' toilets took me back a few years! Fantastic support again from the blue army only marred slightly by some silly 'blue on blue' shenanigans behind the stand just before half time. Overall it was a cracking day spoilt slightly by the dross served up on the pitch again.

Ben is just another player heading backwards under this embarrassing set up I’m afraid. All confidence being drained by the day. Or is ben just thinking of all the overtime he could be getting driving his wagon and having to put up with this week in week out. Just wonder if the full interest in the game has dropped slightly. Rates for driving heavies being what they are just at the moment, he’s probably onto a loser financially playing for us. Wouldn’t blame him for his head being elsewhere knowing that *and* watching everything going on in front of him lately…

Some young lad threatening an older fella then another older fella piled in and gave the younger lad a bit of a hiding....I don't think they were discussing Rusk's merits as a manager!

You mean just like we used to do but on gates around 3,000. Every season we seemed to lose one of our best players but still managed to put out a decent side the season after. We actually did not need all the money throwing at the team with all those extra back room staff. Just a budget to compete with the rest of the big spenders without the need to throw money away signing name players from divisions above. Think most other fans would have prefered the older approach than the present one which is more expensive to fail.

It’ll be interesting to hear Conlon’s take on all of this when the dust has settled in a few months time.

One thing i did learn from yesterday is never change your mind. Was going to give it a swerve after the yeovil game but heart ruled my head. That is what happens when you allow that to happen.
