Ashover is on the River Amber. Head for the hills means Buxton, the highest town in England and the coldest place I kept goal too.
Matt wants a striker but I just realised - what happened to Kairo? He was supposed to be one of the best players in the division at King's Lynn. We gave him the best part of 2 games and he appears to have been disappeared. Are we keeping Danny Rowe? We BOUGHT these players.
Bob's Board may not be the most sensible barometer of opinion but Mr Rowe certainly seems to be losing a lot of his gloss on there. I suppose it is Luke Rawson's dad who is saying what a horrible person James Rowe really is. Certainly his treatment of Luke and others like young Sharman has been abominable. I can understand that the accident of Covid forcibly interrupted their career development, but to ditch them on the basis of not being given a chance just seems capricious.
As Dancing says it does seem a bit like trial and error, but Joel Taylor gave every sign of being a success and he has been sold to a rival. Go figure.
As for togetherness and team spirit - if the team we end up with starts winning that in itself will develop team spirit, but the Rowe way forward leaves a road strewn with body bags. Football managers are often not nice men. Successful men are driven. Many are psychopaths or sociopaths. I'm sure Mr Rowe wants to reach the top. But no one has grabbed him so far - possibly the chaos frightens them off. If we win the National League, yes someone will grab him, but he will need to win again and again to maintain his reputation. He certainly doesn't seem to be winning friends.
