Windsor exile good post! To be fair to Dundas a mid table finish in his first season in the evostik with probably hardly any budget, 20 fans and no ground was a better than expected finish so you can’t knock him for that.
I still stand by saying his demise was premature, with some support to sort out whatever the discipline problems were and to weed out the dead wood I think he would have done OK. I think the chairmans expectations were sky high.
And no I’m not Scott :whistle:
Tony.
It’s way below your average, that’s why it’s not something to shout about.

He brought all of the dead wood with him, plus the main discipline problems came from Gary Roberts and Lee Cropper both of them signed by Dundass

I’d hardly call the likes of Chadwick, Lycett and D Roberts deadwood.
Come on then Mr know it all what we’re the discipline issues that G Roberts and Cropper were involved in?
So who were the dead wood?
Danny Andrews? Titch? Gards? Dawson? Apart from these lads Dundass brought in everyone else! He also didnt want to give Jay Matthews his debut as he didnt consider him good enough!!
I dont know all the discipline aspects but i was in the Social Club when Roberts and Cropper werent playing so decided to get pissed in club tracksuits, knocking back pint after pint in between going outside to smoke and Cropper couldn’t be bothered to walk to the Social Club toilets so had a pee against the stadium wall!
Not saying they’re dead wood but you seem to have a short memory as those lads were part of the team that got us relegated last season!
You’re forgetting Bainbridge Warburton Marie Matthews Brownhill Valentine etc Al would you keep any of them? They don’t really cut the mustard for me then you’ve got card’s new signings who don’t tick any boxes for me!
I’m no manager nor would I want to be but with the likes of D Roberts Gards Lycett G Roberts Titch Andrews Dawson Baker Chadwick we had the foundations of a half decent team just needed some new blood
Talking about discipline, I agree about those 2 drinking and smoking but it only happened the once didn’t it and itbwas addressed. Now they’ve gone there should be no discipline issues then? Powell didn’t exactly behave in a gentlemanly fashion on Sat did he?
These issues should not be being discussed on a public forum.
What issues? The discipline issues? Why not? If the club is saying there’s discipline issues with the players then it is what it is. It’s hardly top secret is it?
Its a public forum so it’s all up for discussion,
Its hardly a secret when it was witnessed by everyone in the Social Club!

It could be worse :whistle:[/quote]
3 points at last!
Although I was at Droylsden and Belper 
why do you always try to slag the Norton lads of is it because you are always looking through your rose tinted glasses scott brought with him Danny Roberts one of the best keepers in the league hence Glossop signing him /neil green better left back than Dawson /Chris Bakker who had a hit/miss season still score the 4 most goals/Kyle Diskin better than the 2 new lads who the new manager has brought in/Darren Chaddwick the best centre half at the club along with Scott Lysett/and let not forget mr Cropper who the fans love to hate yet he played 9 games and scored 6 goals it wasn’t scott who wanted Garry Roberts so you cant blame him because scott was aware of his baggage (throught the vale lads)the other player were already at the club gards is one of the best full backs in the league ok but lets look at the others Dawson hit and miss look at the fc Manchester game he got ripped apart /danny Andrew got all the talent but only when he wants to (looks great with the ball but doesn’t track back)titch has played nearly 30 games this season and has scored 6GOALS IN 30 GAME great return he needs 6 chances to score one jay has scored 3 goals and Alexs 2goals so between the strikers only 11 goal and titch doesn’t want to track back so with him and Danny that 2 players who don’t track Scofeild work hard for the cause like gard so don’t keep blaming the Norton lads as if they were that much dead wood how come Danny Roberts plays for a team 2nd in the league and the other lads who are leek who are higher in the league than you
ps
scott last 3 season at Norton he won the nwcl 1st divson title/the priemer league title with 100 point and 101goal and last year finished mid table in his first season (witton will be lucky very lucky to finish mid table)and made the first round of the fa cup (have witton)but that’s not the story they had loads of off field problem and no ground fron nov so we like gypsy and that is hard with not ground to call YOUR OWN so look at the problems before you slate his record had he been given more time you would have being top half not bottom half BUT HAY THOSE ROSE TINTED GLASSESONLY SEE WHAT THEY WANT
we see who finishes higher witton or leek and what result is next year between witton and alsager
You ever heard of full stops?

Can’t argue with any of that Norton boys
At this rate we’ll be playing Alsager next season with a crowd of 25
Try reading the posts before you post, nobody at the club wanted to lose Darren Chadwick or Danny Roberts both class players as you say, Chadwick is pretty god and we want him to stay ! the rest in all honesty were average at best ! Cropper is a bit of a headless chicken, Diskin full of effort but wastes the ball endlessly, Green a nice lad but was hopeless at left back no pace at all and we still need a new left back Jon Dawson is really a left winger-about as good as Baker IMO - Lycett is pretty good and still at the club, so we do know a decent player and the Witton players you try to slate are proven at a higher level than division 1 and one last thing the south is an easy division compared to the North we have played in both, Scott could have managed us to mid table maybe but frankly thats not really good enough, as to the future we will have to see. UTA
With respect why are you ripping Jon Dawson to shreds.
You must be the only one who doesn,t know he isn,t a full back, the lad is the first to acknowledge that and has done since he was asked to play there he is a winger /attacking midfielder.but what he does give is 100% where ever he is asked to play. what MR DUNDASS DECIDED EVEN THOUGH HE KNEW THAT,WAS TO PLAY NIAL GREEN IN MIDFIELD AND DAWSON AT FULL BACK SO HE DIDN,T RATE GREEN VERY HIGHLY EITHER
There lies the issue. Too high expectations. You can’t expect Dundas to come in and build a new team and get promotion just like that. This takes time. I believe we would have had a top 10 finish this season and build on promotion for next. As it stands we’re looking at NWC football next season
I don’t think anyone is slating Andrews, just telling it how it is
not really too high an expectation with a top 4 budget ! We all wanted Scott Dundas to work out obviously but he was not up to the job here and he has not helped himself in his manner of leaving so that has not helped his cause with Witton fans - maybe Alsager/Norton is his level and he may do ok there without expectations on him.
