Far too sensible... people won't like that

I always assumed he must stay over in the week, but then they had a car share group too.

So maybe it was only midweek games he really stayed over for?

Either way that is a horrible early start and hell of a long trip, especially in a climate many of us are fortunate enough to work at home a lot of the time.

You're right though - he could have stayed under the circumstances presented, but impossible to know the full details of what those were etc.

But for anyone who has really been "f'cked" over at work, that usually doesn't end with you moving into to a job with far better terms .

We looked so much better once Kone, Grimmer and Fred came on... one of those 3

I boil it down to this:

We KNOW Matt got up at 4:30am everyday, missing his girls and driving too and from Ipswich every day. He’s told us this very much.

As someone that’s only commuted from Wycombe to Reading (when the A33 junction was being redone so it was a fuck of a journey), you really have a lot of thinking time and you really really really have to love every aspect of your job to do it

Every.

Single.

Day.

There’s only so much you are willing to sacrifice. Especially when a young family is involved.

The ground started moving under his feet and no doubt the doubts started creeping in and I 100% can see him thinking “this isn’t the job I thought it was anymore” and looking elsewhere.

Thats also not fucking him over. If he was Happy to move to the Head coach model the club have been hinting at since day one, he’d still be here.

I’d actually argue that Stevenage is an outlier in a run that extends to before that game.

Teams have definitely worked out how to nullify us, especially at home. We were scoring for fun whilst still missing lots of chances earlier in the season. Since the run of 11 wins came to end we’ve been creating fewer chances and have been less clinical.

We’re in an amazing position and must not become complacent in expecting we can beat opposition like Northampton without playing (at least close to) our best XI.

Huge win for Mike Williamson’s Carlisle st Fleetwood. Kadeem Harris MOTM on FotMob.

Yep, at the end of the day he's moved into a better job, much higher wages, much bigger job in a higher tier with a huge length contract.

Matt did what he thinks best for him and got a job with Luton. And that’s ok

Matt is doing what he thinks is best for him and his job chances - that might include buying one of, some of, our players. And that’s ok. It’s part of the game.

This “Matt is a Judas now” bollocks is just as tiresome as “Dan rice fucked Matt over” because he (they, the leadership) want to run the club with a head coach model and not a “football club manager” model.

It’s harsh on Matt, yes. No one likes the ground moving under there feet and their job not being the one they thought they had, but If anyone was fucked over it was Scott Mitchell.

Edit: and the medical staff that left just before the first game.

In reality, I don't think we've played "well" in the league since Stevenage away. Hoping the new signings give the whole squad a kick up the backside (when they're allowed near the match day squad).

are you blooms in disguise ? he did fantastic for us but he decided to leave us and try raiding us for our best player...he is no saint
