If true, we have managed to keep 4 of the 5 players we offered contracts to, which is some achievement when you consider the quality of the individuals involved and how uncompetitive we are in the wage market. Must say a lot about the spirit at the club at present.

I am also pleased that Buchs and Ash have been given two years and we have the option of an extra year on Robbo.

When we sat down and analysed where we might be going wrong as a team you couldn't put your finger on any one specific thing. I think we might have gone too in depth for some of the players and I don't think some of them could take on board the information we were trying to get over to them.

This is from McMahon's latest comments reviewing the season on the OS. And it scares the hell out of me that he is at the club.

Not one specific thing? Here are a few specific things that were going wrong that i think were obvious to all of us.

1. We could barely score a goal.
2. The system was ultra defensive leaving us under tremendous pressure not to concede as we were unlikely to score.
3. If we went a goal down the game was over as the team had no belief they could win.
4. Les was unable to motivate the lads.
5. The players did not have any faith or belief in the tactics, the system, or the manager.
6. And ultimately nor did the fans.

Just how bloody complicated could the tactics they were trying to explain have to have been for them to not understand? ]]> General Chat DIW http://whitereview.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=19598 http://whitereview.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=19597&goto=newpost Mon, 14 May 2012 16:42:43 GMT Cheers for a few years of fairly consistent/probably better than average/totally forgettable service Cheers for a few years of fairly consistent/probably better than average/totally forgettable service ]]> Players SonkORLY? http://whitereview.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=19597 http://whitereview.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=19596&goto=newpost Fri, 11 May 2012 16:53:34 GMT Great news!!!

I was set thinking by a post in the Scunthorpe discussion, which were your matches of the season? Which did you enjoy the most? And why?

Personally I would go for

1. Preston at home. Finally we came from behind to win a game. At this point we all knew that with Ronnie back the players had the fight in them to pull clear from relegation.

2. Huddersfield at home. Played really well.

3. Preston away. Great atmosphere, SWA in fine form, we played really well, and Akins was immense. I know we lost but it was a good afternoon out.

Worst?
Blimey where do you start?
Bury away was pretty poor. ]]> Post-match DIW http://whitereview.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=19593 http://whitereview.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=19592&goto=newpost Sat, 05 May 2012 19:59:07 GMT An open, entertaining game and a fair result.

While I would have liked a victory to end the season, to finish twelfth is a great achievement considering how low we sank in mid season.

I thought we generally played pretty well, although we missed Wallace's presence in midfield. While Max was good on the ball, I don't think he was as effective in shielding the back four, and their midfielders were able to run unopposed at our centre backs far too often. Just shows how important JW is to us and hopefully we will be able to bring him back next season.

Elsewhere, I thought the front two held the ball well and worked hard, but Tiryaki spent far too little time in the 18 yard box, which is probably the reason why RM has decided to release him. Devaney and Robinson both had good games and Jake Kirby looked lively when he came on: it is surprising that the reseves regulars hadn't really drawn attention to him before Ronnie decided to offer him a deal. Fon Williams had a really good game and effectively earned us the point with three or four fine saves.

I don't think there are any major surprises in the released list, with the forward line and midfield set to be substantially re-shaped in the summer. Roll on 2012-13. ]]> Post-match Rockfords Love Child http://whitereview.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=19592 http://whitereview.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=19591&goto=newpost Thu, 03 May 2012 02:21:58 GMT Final game of the season. We lost at Glanford Park 4-2 earlier in the season, in a game where we'd done well until Baxter got sent off with Tiryaki scoring twice. Will he feature this weekend? Unlike the previous time we played Scunny last game, there is relatively little hanging on this. At best we can finish 11th, while we could drop down to 17th depending on results. I'm unsure if 11th is high enough for the seeded half of the league cup draw, but the higher we finish the more money we'll get, which is important in these cash-strapped times.

Team selection will be interesting, as an indicator of who's likely to be staying. My expectation would be that we start with a similar line-up to Colchester, save OFW back between the sticks. Unsure who will be asked to partner Cassidy up front. It's likely that a couple of youngsters will feature from the bench.

Prediction: It's unlikely the visitors will bring many, while the Cup Final following on from the game may see home support dwindle. I would anticipate a crowd of around 4.5k.
Really have no idea about the result, although it's a game we're well capable of winning, last games of the nothing to play for variety can turn up some strange results. ]]> Pre-match Boz http://whitereview.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=19591 http://whitereview.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=19590&goto=newpost Wed, 02 May 2012 14:36:53 GMT The debate over the validity of the development at Ingleborough is once again in the spotlight as Dean Johnson (owner of the Wilfred Owen Museum)...

Its a very emotive subject however many of the anti brigade are attacking every aspect of the club and are using very inflamatory comments. They seem very unwilling to listen to reason and are very entrenched in their opinion. That Dean Johnson also is a piece of work and his article is riddled with inaccuracies.

Trip down to Essex for Rovers last away-day of the season, doubt there will be much travelling support for this fairly meaningless match between two mid-table sides.

Rovers have two enforced changes, with Coughlin making his first start for the suspended OFW, while presumably McChrystal will replace the absent Ash Taylor. Our rookie keeper didn't look confident when forced to join the action last weekend, hope he's able to turn in a more assured showing on Saturday. McChrystal will slot in more easily and hopefully Goodi will be back to his best. It will be interesting to see who provides defensive cover on the bench, as an indicator of possible departures.

A number of options further up the park, but I don't see Ronnie making too many changes. Last week's experiment with Cassidy supported by Robinson/McGurk up front didn't work, so hopefully he will revert to a more orthodox pairing up front.

Prediction: My feeling is that with the weaknesses in defence, we'll probably get comfortably beaten here. ]]> Pre-match Boz http://whitereview.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=19587 http://whitereview.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=19586&goto=newpost Wed, 25 Apr 2012 22:15:25 GMT Interesting article: ...
