Nope. He is saving all his energy for fighting off the 3 defenders who spend all game hanging off his neck, trying to rip his shirt off and chopping away at his Giant Redwood legs.Maybe The Hawk just forgot how to react to a goal.
I also remember the Hawk making eye contact and interacting with us after he hit the bar at Colchester.Nope. He is saving all his energy for fighting off the 3 defenders who spend all game hanging off his neck, trying to rip his shirt off and chopping away at his Giant Redwood legs.
Hi OSK.
Madrid was spot on with his interpretation.
Absolutely NOT a dig at you. Far from it, you didn't mention gender anyway.
Can understand that you misread it but again, not a criticism of you at all. Wasn't meant to be a whoosh of you either.
Nah, you`ve all missed the real issue - ageism ! Gills58 v Gills69 - Tut tutHe didn't. He was making a point. Gills69 mentioned that it was a female commentator as if that was relevant and only female commentators would make mistakes. Gills58 suggested (tongue in cheek) that obviously a man wouldn't get their facts wrong, so "obviously", by that logic, the vlogger from your video (who also got their facts wrong) would've had to be a woman too. I suspect he knows full well that it was a man.
- Yes, Gills69 made gender the issue. At no point does anyone suggest that you did.
- Because in your post there's an example of a man also getting their facts wrong about the Gills. That's it.
Sorry OSK, but I really think you've well and truly got the wrong end of the stick on this one. I honestly can't see how Gills58's post is about you or aimed at you in any way, shape or form. To me, it reads entirely as a dig at Gillg69.
Maybe he thought it was your roundI also remember the Hawk making eye contact and interacting with us after he hit the bar at Colchester.
I think he is just more laid back than some others.
True, but given how most players are, it's a bit strange. Anway, as long as he scores, it's irrelevant really .That's what he is paid to do, why make a fuss about it.
Giant Redwood legs.
Arguably our best win of the season that. I know we outplayed Salford for large parts in both games and Notts away was a comfortable win in the end - but to come from behind twice, so late on, against a team in a similar position, at the business end of the season - takes the prize for me.
Morecambe is one of only 3 grounds in the league I haven't done (Barrow and FGR being the other 2), so you can sense my joy that I chose to go England v Brazil instead of this....
To say that, I presume you feel you can see gradual improvements, as in, say, we look like we are one year in to a two year project? Or signs that the team are learning from their mistakes, particularly defensively?What will be will be. I hope we make the playoffs but won’t be too disappointed if we don’t make it. Next season, however, there are not excuses other than to make automatic spots.

Otherwise, why just be disappointed this season, but say in advance that there are not ANY excuses next season?
There are certainly no guarantees that the budget for next season will be any higher than this.
So why do you feel that the team should definitely be doing a lot better by August?
Agree with all of that, particularly point 2).A number of reasons.
1) budget might not be bigger next season but it doesn’t need to be - it just needs to be used better in certain areas (i.e. up front) - hopefully Andrews plays a big part in addressing this
2) I’m expecting a few comings and goings in the summer with the squad that starts the season more in tune with the style of play that Clemence is looking for.
3) A coach that has been brought in to change the playing style should benefit greatly from working with his squad in pre-season.
4) there are signs of improvement, yes - number of chances created and goal attempts has noticeably increased under Clemence and particularly of late.
A few reasons/excuses as to why we’re not better placed this season that shouldn’t be so influential next season.
I can see what you mean but I don't actually think that a different playing style necessarily gives you a better chance of success and certainly not automatic promotion. More excitement - I accept. More entertainment - I accept.A number of reasons.

All fair points, but I don’t think anyone is saying they are confident that Clem will make us genuine challengers next season.I can see what you mean but I don't actually think that a different playing style necessarily gives you a better chance of success and certainly not automatic promotion. More excitement - I accept. More entertainment - I accept.
So 2) will undoubtedly give us a more attacking style, if that is how SC wants to play but he has not previously coached a team to League Two promotion, so saying there are no excuses not to be automatically promoted is pretty demanding IMHO.
I agree with 4} but those signs of improvement in goal attempts has to be balanced against how more fragile we look in defence and how many individual mistakes from defenders have crept in to our games. If I had a pound for every time someone has posted "ffs" about some goals we have recently conceded, I could buy a few pints
Having abandoned Project Harris when our goal difference was -2 and then temporary project Millen at -6, we now have a goal difference of -8.
We were 8th when Harris left, 8th when Millen moved aside and are 8th now.
We have not changed our scouting or coaching structure since last summer, just the head coach so my expectations are that we will be creating and scoring more goals and also conceding more. Much like recent games v Tranmere, Grimsby and Morecambe.
Anything better than that would delight me but I would not say that there are "no excuses" for not being in the top three next season. Clem has not proved enough yet to be that confident.
