Again, playing against a poor team who are dropping to his level!

Also, he attempted to do a needless stupid thing again when grappling with their player on the edge of our area.

You just can’t stop yourself can you? A poor team who were still beating us at 70 mins before Theo came on. A 40 plus yards pinpoint diagonal pass that lead to our penalty. A sustained spell of pressure orchestrated by Theo that should on a good day have give the Shots victory. A regular place in the side that gave us our best season and position for years.
Your and others anti Theo campaign may well cost us our best manager and our very existence. But don’t worry carry on bitching

Looking forward to seeing him snapped up by a top NL side or maybe even in the EFL in the summer then?

Yes, I’m sure the Ebbsfleet player punched the ball because of Theo’s ‘pinpoint’ pass that any semi-professional footballer let alone professional footballer should be able to complete. Stop praising mediocrity, it’s why this clubs been stagnant for years.

No it’s been stagnant for years because it has no money, or didn’t until Tommy last year ! Theo could probably run faster without this merry band on his back all the time

Shotswebbers continually snipe at Tommy. And if they can't roast him, they try roasting Theo by proxy

Then soil their underwear and have a fit of the vapours when one or other has a gentle pop back.....

What goes around comes around, boys...

Grow up

TW isn't the sort of guy to take any prisoners.

That's one of the reasons we are doing better under his tenure than we did in previous ones. A bit more backbone and spirit

If you'd prefer to go to a vicar's tea party on a Saturday afternoon, you're welcome to do so.

I find it hard to sustain a belief that Theo improves the team when we won every single one of the four league matches for which he was suspended / injured recently.

I also think the idea that the club might go under if Tommy Widdrington ceases to be our manager is pure speculation. Hyperbolic / hyper bolix.

Personally, I think Tommy is too thin-skinned to every build a lasting good relationship with any set of supporters. I also think he might leave at the end of this season because his reward for doing very well indeed last year was only a modest increase in budget (after losing three excellent players) and that probably rankles. I'm sure the head understands that the club was indebted and has to use the money that his team made to improve that situation, but the heart likely feels differently.

A regular in the side that gave us our best season and position in years last season he may have been, but did we achieve that because of Theo or despite Theo? There is the debate.

Given that we paid a fee for him, I would certainly expect us to have got better for our money and thus perhaps last season was a missed opportunity.

On the pitch we are doing fine at the moment and I’m interested to see how next season goes, with Tommy, but not Theo

Off the pitch, he desperately needs to change/improve his skills

But, again, as has been mentioned lots of times on here, the interviewer (Sam?) doesn’t help things at all
Alex is there any post on here you can't mention Theo. If you are so annoyed what not visit the training ground and have a word with the Widdrington's.

I understand that I'm not Alex so sorry for butting in.

I would be delighted to have the opportunity to raise the issue of Theo's contract, the fee paid for him, and continued presence in the team, with the Widdringtons.
