TBF they'll probably get a few more than usual for the next few weeks at least
I’d rather just acknowledge the win for what it was rather than also having a dig at the way the clubs run, it’s as patronising as the comments about the number of ‘day trippers’ they took to Bournemouth.I did say it was a shock. My point was that in terms of the history of FA Cup giant killings, it's not the biggest upset ever and when you dig a bit deeper realise that Boreham Wood are a well funded and well run side at present. My criticism was more aimed at the media for spinning the colossal upset storyline when the reality was that the non-leaguers always had a chance even against a strong Championship side like Bournemouth.
He has indeed and he's more than welcome to. However, how many times have we seen this occur? Be it an individual or a consortium, we've seen many of these grand idea schemes to fire a sleepy non-league side into the big time. More fail than succeed when either the ceiling is reached or the owner gets bored. For every Salford United, there is a Billericay. The latest pet project is bitcoin investor Peter McCormack at Real Bedford who again has grand ideas for his side to get to the FL. We'll see how that goes. I'm not against these people trying - I just fear for the clubs when the gamble doesn't pay off or the owner decides to leave.
The chairman himself bemoaned the lack of fans at matches but what does he expect? Abingdon has more residents than Borehamwood does and unless he can persuade the cast of EastEnders and the audience from a screening of 'Pointless' away from Elstree Studios down to the ground from time to time, that's as big as they're going to get.
Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter hits out at own supporters in bizarre interview
Boreham Wood chairman Danny Hunter has hit out at their own supporters in a bizarre interview.
I'm sure Karl will leave at some point if he gets an offer from Luton , MK, or someone else localish. No one can stay for ever. I agree that we should then look to the Conference, or maybe give Mous a chance.
I heard he was waiting for a dream job at Blackpool to come up, I read that somewhere a few days back...
I was sat next to a guy from the PFA on Saturday, and he is Mous's assessor for his Pro Licence that the PFA are putting him through. Had a really interesting chat with him and he confirmed two things. Firstly that, yes Mous does see himself eventually going into management, something this guy thought he'd be very good at. He also confirmed that for the role of PFA Chairman Mous needs to have a professional contract, but does not need to play a single game, nor even be a member of the registered playing squad.
Colin, that seems to confirm what we suspected. Once Long is fit, I hope we won't be seeing Mous on the bench. With the squad we have assembled, it would a waste of a space to have a player who makes 5 minute cameos to shore up the defence.
I like seeing him come on at the end; it says to me that we're really determined to hold on to our lead or point and are going to do so.
But sometimes a cameo if 5 mins is all we need to shore up the defence
I see that Bazzer but you need to balance that up against a place taken on the bench by somebody who gives us a greater width of options.
But tbf @Big Ron he’s our only back up CB and if we need to shore up the defence then he’s the man for the job but that would still leave 5 other outfield players so he’s not really taking up a space on the bench, you need cover for all aresjust in case.
Brown and/or Long + Forde should cover it (assuming no more injuries).
When the Championship eventually becomes the PL2 the NL will become the third division of the EFL.
