MARK BUTLER

[geoff pay]

If you have any doubt that this man aint your guy for MFC then listen to the interview with Steve Wells. Every sylablle is absolutely spot on. A perfect summing up and very honest too with NO excuses. Well done Steve.

[Porka]

Completely agree Geoff.

[Blues with Soul.]

' We can't defend'.

'We are just not good enough at the back'.

'We didn't look as though we could keep a clean sheet.'

'The back 5 players were not good enough.We can't get rid of players because they have all been put on contracts.Nice little holiday camp they've got down here

at the moment.Things will change.'

MB.

I'll be bringing more reaction to the game from Mark, including his reflections on his comments made immediately after the game - even before he'd made it to the changing room - tomorrow evening.

Unfortunately I think that training has to be held back up the line somewhere its cheaper and will attract better players, who wants to drive to Thanet twice a week when they could join Maidstone for instance. As for contracts who on the bench other than Morris has got one?

[seasidesteve]

SOMETHING that myself and a few others have been saying for 3 years we are rubbish and the players are not good enough.i love the way he tells it

[BlueGate Alan]

The only difference being is you said the whole team, with a couple of exceptions were rubbish, think you will find MB is not suggesting that!

[seasidesteve]

well thats where i disagree most are not good enough

[BlueGate Alan]

Tell Mark that then Steve, because he just thinks its defence needs sorting.

[P.W.]

well thats where i disagree most are not good enough

 

If you'd seen the match, you'd have seen we were unlucky not to have scored before Cray, and dominated much of the second half without adding to our deserved lead.

 

Yes the defending was lame and must be addressed. This must be the priority for MB, the rest of the team can be improved - but that is not a priority.

 

by the way - at last a new blog post is now online (click the links below)

[BlueGate Alan]

That is my point Peter, thank you. Some people are saying things on here without seeing yesterday's game, all the directors of Cray told us they had got out of jail and we played some great passing football. I must say Dan Stubbs was my MOTM, ran tirelessly. tackled well, passed well and scored a superb goal. (one of the players criticised by certain posters I seem to remember).

This must be the priority for MB,

 

 

please refrain from using initials for Mark Butler............all i keep seeing is MummyBunny

[freefred]

WOW thats telling it straight isn't it. Good to hear a manager not making excuses or trying to say things are fine when they are not. It looks like we might be playing the strikers in defence at this rate, what was the comment? They cant do any worse.

Sorry Yam Yam - you have some real problems, promise I won't continue to add to them

Well for those of us that ventured over to the Buzzlines stadium earlier this season we were treated to a good display from a certain striker who resides near the aforesaid stadium.

We definatley need some signings now tho. Mark is the best man for the job and getting the best out of players - so we should avoid the drop.

 

Lets see who is about at the end of the season when I think there will be big changes.

 

Whose contract runs out at the end of season ? ?

[Porka]

I don't think anyone is contracted beyond the end of the season

[Blues with Soul.]

Wasn't Ben Lewis on contract ? - we certainly managed to show him the exit.

[djw]

I thought that to Porka but was not sure - a lot of changes to come me thinks !
