BWFC have the Academy, the new 3G pitches and pitches, a fantastic burger bar where the chips are excellent, a friendly atmosphere and a lots more besides. The money from all of this is ploughed back into the Club.

What do we have? A soul-less freezing cold ground, awful beer in the bar, shit food, an owner who seems more interested in his wedding bookings, players who don't seem that motivated and a general lack of direction. This stems from the top. TK pull your finger out.
Hey Luke! Nice of you to join the forum. It seems you’re still bitter that we chose Still over you.

Ridiculous post. Doesn't make much sense.

Absolutely, plus he neglects to mention that BW’s chairman has made an idiot of himself publicly on many occasions and that BW as a club are pretty much despised as well.
This fella? https://www.borehamwoodtimes.co.uk/news ... d-goodbye/

The bloke that uses the club official twitter to post his political views?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.thegua ... resa-ma-eu

Wish TK was just like him
Jesus Christ - I had no idea that he was convicted of assaulting three women, an offence which he committed while Borehamwood owner and Chairman. This article follows the conviction - https://www.borehamwoodtimes.co.uk/news ... -on-women/

I just thought he was merely a huge embarrassment as a chairman due to his use of the club as a vehicle for his own strident political views and his use of the club to pursue personal, public disputes with players and players’ agents, while I’m baffled as to why we’d want to emulate Borehamwood when they their football is both less attractive *and* less effective than ours!

Still, at least it’s not as cold at their stadium as it is at ours, apparently.

Having watched the highlights, what a ludicrous moment that is when a tremendous run and cross from Mason-Clark is nodded down expertly by coulthirst and fizzed past the keeper towards the corner of the net by Jack Taylor... until it meets Calum Reynolds’ head. If we’re playing at Fylde next season, please can Reynolds give up trying to score a goal at that end of the ground, because between his penalty shoot-out miss and now his goalline clerance for Fylde, it’s clear that he’s only doing more harm than good!

Currie’s comments were very interesting. Basically saying that we need someone as good as Rowe is as a goalscorer and all-round striker. That’s a bold assertion when there’s surely a decent chance we won’t manage to land such a high quality striker. He obviously doesn’t see Tarpey or Coulthirst as that person.

No, I think he means we need a target man up front to replace Harrison.

Another long trip with a game that for the first 20 or so minutes, saw some great stuff being played. Only for us to not convert with the dominance shown & then have the ref hand the game to Fylde with the sending off!

Some have said that Sweeney didn’t look like he wanted to be out there from the first whistle. I’m not so sure about that! Yes, he was shouting and gesturing as he has done for most of the season, but I’d have thought it was more to do with the fact that those in front of him were not forcing the issue with the amount of possession we had!
As much as we know that he does play on the edge. The tackle he made on their player was late, but much to do with the cuteness of the player to just nudge the ball away knowing he’d get contact & the fowl! Late not malicious. Yellow card for me!

A great goal to be fair, but Fylde were really not that Good!
I have to disagree with Loudmouth. Not ALL the players downed tools!
We were made to chase down the ball because Fylde simply used their one man advantage ( being a footballing side ) and with the confidence of being a goal up, comfortably kept possession! I don’t think many gave up the cause.
The ones that did..
I would suggest it wasn’t just Elito that didn’t look bothered, but Shaq was totally disinterested!
Like Robson of late, I’ve never seen a player give the ball ( when we had it ) away so much as H Taylor did! I would not suggest that HT downed tools as he does run a lot, but he was poor!
The second half wasn’t the game for Boucaud!
If we are to make a real go of it next season, the midfield and striker areas need serious attention!

The ones that didn’t throw in the towel and made an effort..
Mason-Clarke
Alexander
Reynolds
Johnson
J Taylor

Looking forward to the Bromley game!

Sweeney doesn't strike me as being a team player. You mention his shouting and gesturing at his teammates, he's also had on-pitch rows with team mates. He had the captaincy for a while but was stripped of it. The fans may love him, I fully expect him to be announced as our Player of the Season later today - but where would he rate in a Players Player of the Season competition?

Maybe his red card on Friday was harsh, I wasn't there and haven't seen the highlights so I don't know. But what I do know is that over the course of the season, he's lucky that it's taken him until mid April to be suspended.

Can't disagree with this, the red on friday seemed harsh live (haven't seen video yet) but he certainly walked a very thin line on many occasions!

Having just watched the highlights video, Sweeney should have received only a yellow for that challenge and Calum Reynolds blocking that goal bound shot on the line really sums up our league season as did that move near the end where one of our players headed the ball down into a dangerous area near their goal but no one gambled and made a run to get onto the end of it.

I have seen the on pitch rows with teammates this season, but wouldn’t know in what context they were about! I’d like to think they were about letting a teammate know about stupid mistakes & getting the best out of each other. Plus, I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing! The stripping of the captaincy was down to, too many Cruyff turns with one in particular leading to a goal conceded! One too many for Still’s liking & rightly having the armband taken away & dropped from the team.
I actually agree with you, in that he’s been a bit lucky not to get suspended more, hence why I said he has been playing on the edge for the most part!

I see Sweeney’s red card worked out quite well personally. Birth of his first child a few days ago & his birthday today.

A nice few days to have off indeed haha!

Dan Sweeney hasn't been captain this season, he was captain only for the 8 games Martin Allen was in charge last season. This season Robson was captain until Reynolds returned!

I'd like to see Sweeney as a spoiler / creator in central midfield next season. He has had a number of near misses with regard to rash challenge attempts this season and feel need positions specialists at centre half. As for berating team-mates on pitch, someone has to do it as the person with the captain armband does not. You can see that Sweeney cares when he plays on the pitch and is clearly not happy when others seem to be going through the motions / not pulling their weight.

We do not win any headers in midfield, Sweeney would make a big difference and could be utilised as Man Utd did Felani. May not play every match for 90 minutes, but will feature in most. As for next season, have we heard he does not want to stay, as have seen no indication of this from his body language. He is as good as an ever present, he just won player of the year and grass is not always greener elsewhere.

I do agree with this to a degree. Since Harry Taylor has been back in the middle he wins 90% of the ball in the air. Robbo did as well when playing centre mid. Shame his form has dipped.

Agree with all this.
