Does this guy really inspire confidence . He does not connect that his tactics cause these performances :violin: it’s the same every week .

He says there’s a lot of uncertainty going round the club….I hope so, it’s called change..and boy do we need it.
Surely he doesn’t think he’s leading the charge next season, because anyone who sees that as a positive is delusional…he’s had plenty of time to make his mark and failed to inspire.

I reckon the out of contract staff have already been told they getting binned which is correct.
The right thing to do to end this on stop failure since DC left.

And they have obviously downed tools.



Shit attitude like.

On reflection, Featherstone has had more time than most our managers since Challinor…..and changed nothing.

only for the worst. as far as enjoyment at games is concerned we have gone backwards from this time last season. we should be grateful for the sldershot defeat, the sutton one and the none away performances at woking, wealdstone and yesterday. we,d be stuck with NF starting next season in charge. even pools dare not do that as season ticket sales will be lower than this seasons.

Did fan's really think a new owner and a couple of additions would change our team into an all conquering challenger for the playoffs, seems a lot are being quite harsh on our management presently, let's be a little more patient and see what the close season brings, I mean at various points throughout this season we had a goalkeeping coach as our only keeper on the books, only one fit centre forward (Reid), no full backs, one fit centre half, half a team made up of loanees.Long term injuries to key players and signed experienced players who have failed badly.This season has been a disaster since the last preseason friendly home defeat to South Shields.

Not really - but when Sinclair scored "that" goal against Carlisle and we went on to win 3-1, I think we all got butterflies in our bollocks just for a fleeting moment and thought "it's on".

Of course it wasn't on - I mean just look at them compared to Boreham Wood.

Or Wealdstone.

And we also sacked a real manager.

Yes but surely the out of contracts players would be trying to impress other clubs, playing for a contract, if I was watching an out of contract player and he had thrown in the towel he wouldn’t be one of my new signings.

Featherstone actually uses it as a valid excuse for their performances in his latest interview, players out of contract and no clue what is happening!

Maybe they don’t believe in his Maginot Line defences…and that was a failure too.

Fevs saying he's done a lot of good things with a team that isent his in the Mail.

Wow that's a cracking excuse for being totally useless.
Reckon he's dug his own grave with that statement.

It doesn't seem to be affecting the Gateshead players in a negative way and most of them are on short term contracts!

that sounds like those out of contract are not fixed up verbally with clubs for next season and have to rely on getting one from pools if they want to continue at this level.

Gateshead are on a special treatment called …… motivation…we’re more constipation.

Don,t think ive seen 1 team use NFs tactics against us.
Seen teams line up like us but when gaining possession attack quickly in numbers.

If only NF could trust his eyes and think for himself then he would have probably done a decent job.
Only himself to blame if not here next season.
