Re: Next season
Absolutely. As much as Saturday was a disappointing occasion in the end, we should see it as a "bump in the road". On the whole, these last two seasons have been good. In DB we trust, but as fans we also have to believe in ourselves and what we want to achieve for our club. The B2B campaig...

Re: Barnet retained list
If we could find a tricky winger to play on the right, that would give other teams a real problem. All very well doubling up on one player, but if play gets switched to the other side...

Re: Barnet retained list
Won't load for me either yet.
But whatever is in the article, we haven't hung about. List published within days of the playoff. DB probably already knew what his plans were if we were still in the NL.

Re: Barnet retained list
DB has definitely made it a priority to get players in on permanent contracts who have a history of playing consistent numbers of games. We've taken a punt with the odd loan signing like Thompson. But ultimately, you can never tell whether a player will break down with injury over the course of a se...

Re: Ex-Bees (2014 update)
Richard Brindley just announced he’s leaving Notts County. Hmmmm. Worth a punt on him? He's certainly played more regularly in recent years at Notts. I guess a lot depends on how DB views the future of RHJ and Cropper in that right back/RWB position. The season-long fitness of RHJ is a concern. He ...

Re: Barnet retained list
Aggregation of marginal gains... Take small sections of the squad and make each one marginally better than what you have. The overall effect is massive. Doesn't require an overhaul of the squad. Sams for tactical approach. If DB still believes in his way of playing, get better at it, but don't be af...

Re: Near full Hive
Under normal circumstances, the 2nd bar area would have serviced the rest of the Legends spectators. That would have alleviated the stress on the main area, but the Solihull fans were using the Jubilee bar. I think going back to a membership-only bar would be a step backwards. Service just needs to ...

Re: Now that we’re out of the running
Both teams are strong, physical sides, and a pain to play against, so from our point of view, happy to see the back of one of them. Both are well run clubs and will be up there again regardless. On the one hand, losing Bromley we say goodbye to at least one plastic pitch next season. But i feel Soli...

Re: Solihull Moors (THTS) The Minging to Winning Match Thread
We got bullied yesterday. When a team plays that tactic, we can't rely on fighting the referee. We've got to learn to fight fire with fire. To do that we need a few tougher players in the squad. Our A-Game should be to play football as we want. Against a lot of sides that was clearly good enough. Th...

Re: Let's be realistic
I often speak to people asking "do you think you'd survive in L2?" My answer is don't worry about what might happen next season. Live the current one. We've won the title twice in the last 19 years and still not set L2 alight. There are various reasons for that which are worthy of their ow...

Re: Solihull Moors (THTS) The Minging to Winning Match Thread
Looking at the teams confirmed for the league next year, it’s very winnable on paper. Have to go big this summer The teams coming down don't frighten me. In my mind, FGR and Sutton are coming back to their natural levels. Chesterfield are gone, and one of the 3 remaining playoff contenders (who are...

Re: Solihull Moors (THTS) The Minging to Winning Match Thread
The EFL will be welcoming a fresh new club next season. A fairytale story awaits for one of the 3 remaining sides. As for us, it's still very raw, but the quicker we move on the better. DB talks about the rebuild starting tomorrow. I'm sure he already has his targets, and a plan to move certain play...

Re: Solihull Moors (THTS) The Minging to Winning Match Thread
Solihull have come to bully us, and it's worked. Ref has let a lot go from them, and their shithousery tactics are breaking the game up. That said, we should have expected that. Slight breeze which will be with us 2nd half. Agree Kabamba is too isolated. Need Stead on 2nd half. This needs a teamtalk...
