Redcar Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 2 hours ago, Eddie_Plank said: So what's fans thoughts on the Current boardroom position. Is that two years they have been in place now. Certainly, on the pitch the club doesn't appear to have made any real progress during their reign. If anything this season, things look to be going backwards not forwards. Some poor exits from the cups at the hands of opposition from lower divisions and another season of league mediocrity. Are things looking any better off the park? If you'd asked a few weeks ago, I'd have said that the Boardroom position is much healthier than a couple of years ago. Financially we coped well during Covid. Fundraising was impressive with new sponsorships, match day hospitality regularly sold out, and supporter engagement on the up. The playing budget this season was pretty good. All seemed well upstairs. Since then though, the Vice-chair has resigned, the Chairman will probably follow him at the end of the season and the new Director who was inspirational during the Covid shutdown has all but vanished. We will be left soon with a very inexperienced Boardroom. I was pleased with a number of this year's signings and there have been a few impressive displays. Unfortunately, there have been increasingly frequent displays of pure horseshit. Personally, I don't think the crumbling Boardroom has yet had anything to do with recent results. These players should not be giving away comedy goals and losing in such a feeble way that you can see in those highlights. They are better than that, and several fireworks need setting off in the dressing room. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Has Miller Fenton been playing? And if so to any standard? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has played left back regularly but only because our only signed left back proved to be shite and was farmed out on loan. Fenton rates no more than 5 out of 10 in my opinion. Some half decent displays but usually fairly anonymous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, they keep playing like they have just met each other. Christ, I know they are on the wrong side of 30 but surely Buchanan, Stevenson, Scobbie and Anderson are still more than good enough to play in League 2 at least? Although I will admit to not having seen them in a year or 2. And surely Antell hasn't regressed that much, if at all since his Edinburgh days when he was one of the best Part Time Goalkeepers in Scotland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Antell was at his best when Jim McQueen was coaching him.

No blame for our crap performances attached to them. Anderson got badly injured in August and is unlikely to play again this season. Scobbie was never meant to play much this season - he is on the coaching side now Stevenson missed a few weeks with injury, but he is back now. With himself, Sinclair and Travis in the side we should be a lot more solid, though we hugely miss our best player - Ferguson - who had his cheekbone rearranged at Linlihgow. Buchanan aside, we are particularly crap up front and look increasingly disinterested elsewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back post Willie Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Just a little prediction for everyone I think our board of directors will be more or less walking on mass at the end of the season if not before. Have a hunch who will be drafted in to chairman’s seat and if everyone thinks it’s bad just now, just wait 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the week later is the game that will define this season. If we carry on in this vein the resurgent Beasts will turn us over at an empty home stadium. And that, would just sum up Malcolm’s tenure. No surprise today, whatsoever. I won’t be dwelling too much on this one, however the truth is today is another three goal to nil mauling however we played. Fine playing well ( keeping the score to nil is now playing well apparently) but we again miss chances and go home with our head in a basket. Someone mentioned on fb some of the players contracts. How on earth have some of these players been given two years? Shouldn’t be happening. Not at this level, without proving what they are about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave me a lift up to Berwick when the train drivers were on strike. Still does OPTA stats, often at Annan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
