As you say "nothing has changed" You could change the entire squad, but if you play the same tactics, nothing will change!!

[George Dawes]

and if Oswell comes on he'll only be put upfront on his own anyway.

and if Oswell comes on he'll only be put upfront on his own anyway.

and that's even if Oliver stays on!

[bill ding]

Which he has

[BerlinWaller]

I said it after watching the Fleetwood game. Jim will continue with the same system and just shoe horn the new players in to it if at all.

[bill ding]

Changes will come too late as last season

[Westgate Wanderer]

Substitutions probably won't happen until around the hour mark, unless Crewe score again then he might make a change. Is it hot, wet, windy,hard pitch? Are they bigger and stronger than us? Is the ref a homer? Or are they just an organised side with attacking tendencies? Delete from the bingo ticket during the post match interview with our leader

[Shrimpman]

There's only one thing that will change how we play

[P/T Indie]

Errr can we have last year's team back!

Some of these new signings need to have a good look at themselves starting off with Mills.

Why is oliver anywhere near the starting eleven when we have Stockport top.scorer on the bench? Oliver missed an easy rebound as well.

[George Dawes]

the defence as been dis-improved from last season.

[cyprus-shrimp]

I have been a big supporter of J.B. and never joined in with the criticism. However I am beginning to agree with those that say it's time for a change. I truly believe that Jim is a "good" person, but his philosophy appears to be built around the way he used to play (stop the other team scoring is his prime objective). We simply must move on from this, and "never too high, never too low" is utter nonsense. Let's all get really high on the success of our team - but for that I'm afraid that a new boss is needed. Sorry JIm, and thanks for doing everything that you have done for MFC, but it's ....................................

TIME FOR CHANGE.

On this showing, the bookies might just be right this season.

[bill ding]

How embarrassing is this

[George Dawes]

whos looking forward to Exeter next week at home?

[Westgate Wanderer]

4 goals goals kept us up last season!

[bill ding]

whos looking forward to Exeter next week at home?

The Exeter fans

[BerlinWaller]

The "majority" will keep banging the Bentley drum and won't be happy until we are back in non league.

[Westgate Wanderer]

whos looking forward to Exeter next week at home?

Does anyone really look forward to a home game with any realisic thoughts of watching some good attacking football? Or do we just turn up hoping for a miracle? How many will PNE put past us?

[P/T Indie]

The defence is a shambles oliver misses a one on one and they go up the other end and score.

We look like a team that have never played together.

[Potted Shrimp]

Not expecting a great crowd for the first home game of the season...maybe just over 1000? :/

[Westgate Wanderer]

We have the longest serving manager in the Football League! Are we the longest suffering fans too??

[dannymorc1]

Why is Oliver still playing??? Waste of space last season and if we keep playing him this season, we'll get what we deserve, i.e. National League next season. It's not just him though, it seems as though there is a complete lack of understanding between the players. Can only hope it is first match nerves

[BerlinWaller]

Fair play to the travelling fans.

[dannymorc1]

Are our new owners watching this? Must be wondering what they have let themselves in for!!

[BerlinWaller]

I haven't picked up my season ticket yet so can i have a refund still?
