Day 143

I hosted a backroom meeting today.

Coach Grant Brown suggested two potential new scouts, neither of whom impressed me—through reputation or ability. He also indicated that I should drop goalkeeper Mark Halstead and left back Matthew Park from the first team. Halstead can hardly be blamed for the recent downturn in form, when his defence has opened up in front of him.

Park has proven to be the patchiest player in the team, good one week and terrible the next. Nutter will return in his place for the next match, then I’ll play it by ear as to which one gets the spot long-term.

Brown also had the gall to suggest that Shuker shouldn’t be taking corners. We’ve scored six goals from corners in the league — equal third best — and he took half of those. I’m not changing anything; after OlembĂ©, he’s the best option we have.
