Did you ask Nicola what they’re doing to ensure any concerts turn in a profit this time, AM? Despite the official line, can’t help feeling the loss made had some bearing on who we did/didn’t recruit in the summer.
While I can understand MMs frustration, we played a lot better against Macclesfield than Gateshead and the Silkmen were a much stronger opponent. The manager appeared relatively happy with the Gateshead performance, which most of us weren’t.
Finally on Andy Cook. I think the manager should try and build up his confidence by starting him every game until the end of the year. It wasn’t a given that he’d score in the position he got the ball off Clarke and his quality showed through. Last Saturday, there were a couple of times when he was better placed than Norwood, who ran into dead ends rather than try to pass to Cook, who appeared to lose heart as a result. Both forwards are valuable to the side, but in different ways and both are better than McDonough.
