Delusional
A.. The young players are being made fragile, they are in no way flourishing.
B.. We had no chance of winning this game, Tagoe should have been rested in time for a fixture where we have a slight chance of getting a point.
C.. Uh huh, Leeds United style spy-gate happening at Northern League Level, that's as stupid and delusional as trying to play it out from the back.
D.. He knows he is talking absolute rubbish hence the lack of eye contact.
If I was him I would be spinning yarns too, anything to keep me in the job a little longer so I can bag as many pennies as possible.
I also notice that he has stopped mentioning that we need some experience and an experienced striker.
Game Analysis...
A real achievement to only concede 4 goals against the league leaders, up until we conceded the first goal we looked like we would go on an win, I mean there was 80 minutes, yes EIGHTY minutes to go but I had seen enough in those opening 10 minutes to acknowledge what a fantastic effort the boys were putting in. It's something to build upon.
Club Future...
Harriman Out! - but it's not all his fault.
Board members connected with the appointment of Andrew Burgess, Richard Maxwell and now Michael Harriman all need replacing.
These were 'easy' 'mate like' 'soft' decisions, not the decisions of people who are tasked with managing the money the club generates and certainly not running it with the main interests at the forefront which is obviously a football team who are performing on the pitch regardless of winning or losing.
Upon appointing Chris Nunn we thought the board members connected with the Burge and Maxwell appointments had realised the error of their ways, they have now undone all that, if we want a club next year changes need to be made, until the people connected with the bad/horrendous mistakes are out of the club they will always hamper any chance progression - but as the money they manage is out of the fans pockets rather than out of their own pockets - it doesn't really matter to them.
As someone previously mentioned, Michael joked in the last interview that he may have to play - well he's a very experienced defender, he should be out there playing football, it looks like the board gave him the managers job knowing that he was going to retire from playing.
