I BELIEVE York City have a hidden agenda - relegation.

If not why allow Lee Bullock to go to Cardiff and move on Jon Parkin at a crucial part of the season. They have been replaced by players not even good enough to play in the Conference.

I have recently read Stanley Matthews' autobiography. He stated inexperience gives rise to inconsistency. How right he is. Chris Brass is living proof, some of his team selections have been bizarre and let's be honest his loan imports have been poor, not one making any significant impact.

I can't understand why Terry Dolan was not used in some capacity by the club, if only for scouting.

The game against Macclesfield was third rate, poor marking, poor passing and poor, in fact non-existent, finishing, which has been prevalent all season.

Only Darren Dunning and Richard Cooper earned their wages.
