I have just had a text from Roy like you all possibly have had,
Roy has told us all that he had made a mistake in his team selection but the but stops firmly with me I could have stepped in and made the decision to override Roy but I was not looking for an assistant just to pay lip service I want an assistant to help me make decisions whether simple or hard.
Roys team selection was made with the best intentions as are all of Roys actions.
With a bit more luck in front of goal and better defending the result could have been completely different but that’s another story,
What is important is there were 11 squad members on the pitch who we will rely on and need as the season unfolds, I have said countless times that this is a squad game and a team game and Roy and myself are part of that team
I have seen times this season when individuals have made mistakes but I have never crucified any one and I will not let that happen to Roy,
Roy will continue to assist me and will be part of the decision-making team and I still look forward to working with him.
As far as motivation is concerned Roy is a complete inspiration and motivates myself when I get low with some of our performances.
I want us all to put this behind us and turn yesterday in to a positive of pushing on to the end of the season with our main priority of winning promotion.
Finally I class Roy as a friend as as all friends I will support them as I expect you all to
Dave

Submitted on 2011/01/24 at 8:03 amI was only there for 30 mins, although I was surprised we didnt start we the same 11 as the previous week, I strongly believe the 11 that started were good enough to win. You were 2 – 1 down when I left and you had footballed them off the park. They played to their strengths which was to play a ball over the top for Slater to run on too. I didnt see the other 2 goals, but can only assume it was a similar tactic. Roy and Dave have appologised so put it behind you and focus on the league. You were the better team for what I saw so take the positives, in football you dont always get what you deserve, but if you carry negative feelings into your next game you will. Be a squad ad support each other. This is probably the last chance we will have to get out of this league with this current squad so do it for each other.MacLets see some more commentsDave

Comment by Bryan McIntosh January 24, 2011 @ 8:03 amAt least now it makes our catch up games a little simpler and we can now focus on what we want TO WIN THE LEAGUE come on greenfield
Comment by Dave Seagrave January 24, 2011 @ 9:06 amThank you for your kind as always words Dave, i have to admit i was very disillusioned after the game yesterday, words fail me as to why we could not play the true formation of football 4 4 2, i have always been a firm believer in this formation, i am perhaps living in the past but i know that formation is a winning formation.
Comment by Roy Yeomans January 24, 2011 @ 11:34 ami do want to thank Taffy, Batesy, Dave S, Daz Hicko, Sawd, Nozza and Joe S who weren’t selected in the starting 11 yet even though i knew they where disappointed not to be selected they still went along with it without moaning or kicking off as players have done in the past,
you will all see that you as just as important to Greenfield as the starting 11 on Sunday.
We are a big squad and it is always hard to keep everyone happy, well not hard it’s damn near impossible, both myself and Dave are both agreed that with such a large squad we need to rotate players which will mean different formations as well, so if you are not in the starting 11 please don’t take it personally.
Disappointed as i was yesterday, don’t worry, i’m going nowhere as i still believe we have squad to win this league
See you all Sunday !!!
