BOD are aware and a meeting held after one of the home games after said player requested it (Dewsbury game IIRC). This is not from someone who told someone... Believe me or not, I dont actually care.

Also it’s been well publicised that RM doesn’t / won’t listen to any of these same people.

Whilst I’m very dissapointed / frustrated with the many of this seasons performances and the book stops with RM and some of his recruitment decisions have been poor when I’m being critical it’s not to the point where I contradict myself.

It’s just another area the club is lacking in my opinion. Marshall being chief cook and bottle washer is a recipe for disaster. At the very least there should be a Football Manager/Director to help with player welfare - if a player has a problem who does he go speak to??
This - coupled with a complete lack of commercial activity from the board makes me extremely nervous. Sponsors have paid thousands to the club this season and have had next to no exposure from the club ang the club are not meeting there contractual obligations to said sponsors. Gone are the days of the board trying to build positive relationships with local businesses, which is commercial suicide for a club like Fax.

Very fair points.

Also worrying is that having spent so much in pre-season and once again only a few months in to the season and Marshall's recruitment is brought in to question and the club is having to go begging to supporters to raise money to bring in a player that it seems the fans want more than the coach. Also worrying is that said player did want to leave the club but is now looking for a return. The last thing we need to be spending money on right now is a player who has hardly played for 3 seasons.

We've won 5 games and lost 4. We're currently 7th but on the same points as 5th. The worrying statistic though is how many points we've conceded.

I think that our biggest loss has been Andy Holleyhead, with fitness for our part-timers being shown up in our defence this season. Lack of fitness also contributes to conceding penalties, which is also a big problem for us at the moment.

We're still at the races fighting for a top 5 spot, but we need to find a way to get our fitness levels up so we can defend effectively and stop giving away needless penalties.

If what you are saying is correct, then the BoD have grounds to release him from his tenure without compensation. That surely is gross misconduct and a neglection of duty
Both serious offences in any other job and instant dismissal. Maybe then someone with passion would be introduced at no extra cost. I have been a supporter of Marshall previously, however there comes a time when decisions need to be made, Is this one of them?

If this is the Situation action is needed sooner rather than later.
To show how bad our defence has become Rochdale had been scoring 10 pts a match but we managed to concede 24,Last Season 2nd best Defence in the League now the worst of the Top 8 Surely no co-incidence ?

Surprisingly no as at his age and Siddal he should have been in the Tom Holroyd/Morgan Smithies teams..Welcome to club as with any new signing but a young back rower...really is this what Marshall sees as a priority....?

I thought that is the only position he ever sees as priority.



As coach with this money been raised to bring back Tangata, wouldnt you have thought he might have just said, look its nice and sentimental and everything but what I don't need now is another crocked player, can I use this money to bring in a player who is available to play right now.

Not knocking the fans for their sentimental(one way) decisions but the club shouldn't be sanctioning signings that bring more to the dressing room than the pitch.Personally would have brought Baldwinson in as York's need has been shown as being less than ours in the grunt stakes.
