Fair enough, but no need to be personal on here I don't think. If you disagree you should learn to spell and get your grammar sorted.
It's naive to chuck the manager at this stage; it's not the premier league, and who is going to steam in and do better?
When you start slating someone's spelling and grammar you have lost the argument - what are you the spelling and grammar police

They will be queuing around the block for the job should Edmo go

I can't understand why, after Ashton's injury, we moved the right back to left back, the right winger to right back and bring a winger on as sub. This changed the whole pattern which we started with. Why not just bring Grand on at left back and continue with the positions unaltered.

That thought crossed my mind as well. Guessing Grand is on the naughty step at the moment.

During the BBC Cumbria commentary, Andy Wood and Mark Boyd felt Simon Grand as a straight change for Neil Ashton at left back would have been a sensible change. Darren Edmondson thought differently, rightly or wrongly. Edmondson's logic was not tested because this change was not questioned during the post-match interview.

Further, Boyd suggested Jason Walker had trained during the week and was fit for selection. Why, therefore, was clarification not sought from our manager about the reason for Walker's omission?

Surely it's only fair to allow Edmondson to respond to these questions to explain his reasons? It informs us (is Walker fit?) and also gives an important insight into his thinking and suitability for the role.

For Edmo's and the teams sake I hope it's this Saturday at Guiseley.

Got to agree with Kieran regarding the players playing for Edmo yesterday in that I don't believe any of them wanted him to fail and they all seemed behind him. If anything I think there are issues in that perhaps some of them aren't quite good enough or perhaps fit enough or a combination of both?

On the point about the goals we conceded the second after Wrexham broke and the shot the actually went under Dixon's legs - how does Edmo legislate for that one?

Haworth is so infuriating in that he runs forward and gets into a good position then with Cook by his side with only the keeper to beat he decides to try and take the defender on or shoots from a narrow angle or loses the ball and the chance has gone and he keeps doing this over and over again. I also feel Cook drops off when Haworth goes forward so he isn't in as good a position to score if Haworth actually bothers to pass him the ball to shoot. No wonder Cook has a go at him about this!!
As previously mentioned our centre midfield just isn't functioning as it should be and Mellor had another bad game.
In addition I also still don't know what's wrong with Grimes - at Altrincham I'm sure I heard something about training issues, either way he isn't performing as he possibly should be?
I know its a results business but had Casson not said what he had before this game it would have been put down to one of those games where we tried but didn't get the luck and would have been forgotten about. Instead Casson has foolishly created the ridiculous situation we now have.

Well said, John, my thoughts exactly.

Haworth was getting mentioned a lot by mark Boyd and the commentator on Saturday and the mentions weren't for good things.

What's not been mentioned so far is that Dixon was partly at fault for 3 of their goals.
He should've taken the ball when it was played forward for the first goal, shouldn't have let the ball go under his legs for the second and taken the cross for the 3rd I think it was. Its a concern that he didn't command his area enough or come for balls that he could claim. I know its not just his fault but he could and should've been stronger and command his area more IMO.
