Thanks. Back at the same time next week but now we turn to another sport after possibly one of the most bizarre weeks in York City's recent history welcome to Match Day Live. Class week for York City manager Jackie McNamara his song. For the club this week have to choose. This no one. With the Pats or this nice side going to. Play. Followed by a statement saying that without a positive result today at Braintree the manager will resign. Not just on the manager. But the 2 teams rooted at the bottom of the National League table another defeat today for the men would in all likelihood see them drop into the relegation zone very soon there won't be much further for the team to fulfil. A good f.a. Cup win in many ways to go way down the right don't go side up with the right side of the area to his left foot lead on his left foot leaving. The goal. To the lake today for town. To keep pressure on at the top. 3 park. In the division now. Plus town in the f.a. Cup. Maybe 3 divisions above them. Citing times challenging times just. Full coverage of. 6666 is also half a trophy action today Tadcaster Albion taking part for me the must be the 1st time in their history their way to. Take their Also on the road they travel to shoreline all our other sides are also in league action this afternoon so stay with us between now and 6 o'clock. So good afternoon everyone welcome Braintree for what could be a pretty remarkable afternoon in one way or another for York City and its beleaguered boss Jackie McNamara Christians is alongside as after his holiday time in Malta Chris you have not missed that much while you've been away you've replaced and I know I've kept a check of what's been your your you quite rightly not a lot to to make me happy it's all you know so. The big scenario is what's been happening since the 61 begins guys you know I was looking up to the tower and it was well after midnight before it slipped into I didn't know about the full life maybe the lights of the state that want. To say today it's all about winning the game pure and simple for Jackie McNamara But the thing is this Would positive means a lot of things he says will scream I think for a lot of what might happen after this game today yet what is a positive result was still not really much that much the wiser despite speaking to our Yesterday afternoon it has to be said your reaction to the last few days Kristie chaotic whichever way you look at it from the clubs perspective from the supporters perspective you could never imagine anything like this happening noses say to see the 1st 1214 games of the season both away from home it's never happened before. You know it's always been a proud side probably seeing a lot of pride coming from players although the manager has got a lot of pride you know but he's reached a point now where he's more or less. Gone probably around about December last year we still here. Is his team now you know in the years with no real excuse about what goes on on the pitch. We're going to go on in much greater detail and just 2nd of all whites are still waiting for the York City News even with a win here today can you see Jackie McNamara keeping his job. More or less said. Resign if the positive result today. If they do it just gets pushed on of the way. Really it's a tail wagging the dog saying there were dictating to the chairman what's. Really in the way around really Jason with the said look you've got about 4 or 5 games now you've got to win the world you've got to beat Braintree a low you've got to to win the whole game. In the f.a. Cup which gives us a lift into the next round the f.a.q. And then you go to be. Pure and simple he's always. Been completely unprecedented situation from my point of view you may know different you want travel 3 on the tax starting in message with the word b.b.c. Sport if you want to get in touch with us this afternoon then after 5 o'clock this evening we're going to open up the telephone lines I'd love to hear what you have to say about what's happened in York City over the last few days about what's going to happen here before us at Braintree this afternoon no 190-464-1641 is the number that you'll need to call please do hold off until after 5 o'clock 904641641 come on to Match Day Live this afternoon let us know what you think of everything that's been happening surrounding York City this afternoon. Still waiting for the York City team news to come through as soon as we get it we will of course of bring that to you over a am frequencies there because it's not just about York City does after noon hour get town they've traveled to Chile is 5th Percy 2nd I think the Barry pocket maybe able to tell us how Simon we've Assata got a lot of this afternoon. I can indeed David Childress things just get better and better the how to get poor old York City thing seem to get worse and worse but things can change very quickly in football the how to get town lined up exactly as you would expect j.p. Pittman injured so cheap the lack of starts with him he came on for him and last came when he got his injury otherwise changed that means Peter Cook in goal Joe called back right back normally right winger but he still covering the role of Lewis Turner who in turn is playing left back come in for Ben Parker who is one of the injured players with quite a few injuries and he found the midfield Simon Ainge and Danielle is the 2 center backs Jack Emmert on the right wing usually Jolies on the left wing Usually though they'd just have to turn out right when he scored the 2nd goal in the last game against f.c. United Manchester the cup replay one of 3 games against man just so far this season gypsy like a Up front they won't Bowl in midfield and Andy got scoring somewhere between midfield and striker playing just behind and if I scroll down a little bit further it will tell me the sub job pushes the young lad who made his debut late on the game on Tuesday Tom plant the former York City midfielder Paul Thirlwell the very experienced Formosan been the midfielder Luke shields the center back fit again down the Ellis and Simon Ainge keeping him out we start the season and played very well and goalkeeper Thomas Stewart and now we're back to the league we're also back to the usual 5 substitutes codas game is very difficult a number of couse 1st with a manager Well that's caused. You know that's Matt Young's and was the manager of the month of September is he cursed after you go into the new month because they lost in the f.a. Cup spending will one of the 1st of October or is it when the it was announced to the public this week in which case to lose its afternoon left to see the record which opened in that one drawn drawn one draw unbeaten in September that's looking pretty good maybe it sold in the middle of 21 very very impressive for a couple of draws since then not quite so impressive let alone the last a minnow was spending more and in terms of their scoring record only 9 goals conceded that was outstanding that you like best in the division with Kidderminster actually However they've only scored 16 goals that's one fewer than CA's Nashton who would fall from the bottom so it's a tough one to call the danger man is every York City fan will know Jason is down Chiles books 27 goals to City and 87 appearances and then into his home town of Barrow 22 goals in 65 games Ok And you have to be watched very very closely pleasant day here actually the sun is out shining brightly and the kids are playing a game in front of me now on the town team bus has managed to go shake its way very very carefully along the back streets not the greatest access for huge team coaches there's money to get in and some of the players there are right down below me getting changed right now kickoff 3 o'clock 4 coming to kill me here on am 666 and 1260 thank you to Barry Parker back with Barry in a round about 1520 minutes to get a recap of our Get town team use still waiting for the York City team news. Now I don't know how long we're going to have to wait for we're waiting for a presser the team chief to be brought to the press box even New York City a press officer saying a player with his age isn't over the York City News itself asa but as soon as we get it we will bring it to you. Let's go through some of the talking points this week because there have been so many but of course one has dominated all of us and that's the statement that the club issued on Wednesday after talks between the chairman and manager following 6 choose the $61.00 defeat at guys later they announced that Jackie would tend to his resignation whatever that meant at a time he didn't actually say his resignation would be accepted after today's game if they didn't get what they called a positive result once again a bit ambiguous shuttle has asked Jackie McNamara how that statement came about I think it was obviously important. I think for 2 reasons you know it was intended as a nation of many thing. And threw everything in with the Ornish the scene of it as he didn't even say it was in place and point you know another team from the obviously disappointing for me was the reaction in the game and so you know. And so if they get reaction. And. You know obviously you know certain. Thing to prepare for the f.a. Cup given for me probably understand your reasoning something like that it's usually behind closed doors and nobody really knows what's going on why did you choose to put in the public domain is such a thing for that reason for c.v.s. I think for the club. And. So. For confidence or for that reason alone I think you said to go in as simple as. And give them time to clear for for next week if. One thing in that statement about positive results clarify that what constitutes a positive result is simply a when. I think the course of his means everything you know performance. And passion and faith in would be can. We can draw the game or we can be in front and lose something the others lessen it with our control and I think they want to think if it's there and which important thing and when it's time to to do things in the name of us use their and figured in doing things they want and believe in and in which they if it's not then then alif so is the performance and maybe rather than the result house on Saturday Yeah but I think to want something is both because it's the both really important and get up on cue far by clear the results. Yes And obviously people see it as Connection pressure on the players but we have got a moment it should be teeth every game should be treated like a cup final and the job exposing on it so obviously the Mulay is going to take this much attention but the media has printed it bring tree book. As much as you know away. And sits come into a game to model see what happens how have the players reacted to this yet I think that attitude will I think a I think the reality of it in order for the players. To do their jobs properly and and to handle that so you have a you know the. Normally what happens with the image comes in. Certain things and so that come into their thoughts in the few but I think you feel in the last month which is no help when the field in the field and with the news took over. So for me is it. Because I was going home means that I was leaving home anyway so there's nothing else. There was concealed to that it made me feel as laws of that amazed me after the game Tuesday and the disappointments of the performance on those and so I guess I'm maybe a little bit extra pressure on the players but this has been your decision itself in your hands and I guess do you feel any extra pressure is. The pressures. In me to be a game. You know but it's a it's a different thing if it's more than a need you know want to do. Since I've been there I want to. Perform. With to do their jobs properly. Piece. But unfortunately with them too many. Of. Us the York City manager Jackie McNamara talking to Sharon yesterday now correct me if I'm wrong Ron and Billy basically said that he announced the statement came out Wednesday that he would resign if they didn't get positive results so it would give other managers the chance to get their savings into the chairman. It's ex. Unprecedented earlier I've certainly had nothing nothing like bass I've been speaking to lots of colleagues who followed football and the football a variety of levels much longer than I have they've had nothing like this it does seem to be an absolutely remarkable situation the York City find themselves and I do and just want to point out just breaking haven't seen much of your in terms of players and staff so far since you've been here Braintree. This afternoon which is interesting so we might come back to that little bit later on in terms of Jackie McNamara and his situation what I wonder from that is he must have an absolutely unbelievable relationship with the chairman Jason Carroll for him to do this game if it was his intention to resign after guys on Tuesday because he said he makes it sound like he went in with the intention of handing in his resignation saying that say I'm done somehow he's been convinced to do this game this can be out of a positive result I don't hear from Jackie McNamara that he thinks that positive result is going to come today but he has left the door open for if a remarkable situation occurs today that he will remain as the manager of York City Congress c.v.s. You know quite well that every would be Manager those who are out of jobs those who are looking for a change really be. In trouble. And there. May have. To tell me. There are people doing the job who are just waiting for the chance to be manager of your city but it doesn't confirm that whether the club have received any Seabees about my job isn't yet available I wonder if from that there are I took from that to be if you had to resign on Wednesday there would be no time for anything to have been sorted before Saturday August but I'm not sure that is necessary whether or not we believe I don't see why that would be an issue frankly I don't think you would look to appoint a replacement if you if a manager left on a Wednesday you would expect some replacement in by the Saturday so it does it did seem an odd thing to to to level as a case for for continuing in a I don't I didn't really see the necessity for that frankly it's all suggested as well that if Jackie McNamara does leave the football club that he's assisted Simon Donnelly would have to leave the football club as well the goalkeeping coach Craig Hinchcliffe. Would also have to then you would just have to. Know he trusts the youth team manager I don't think. He could have just come in on a temporary basis. Until someone else was. Positive. You want to. Study a message. Just been handed to. Bring it. Down here there are numerous changes and some of them. I'll use the word interesting and maybe surprising again let's start at the back the 1st of the changes from Tuesday night's defeat to. Alex whittle comes back in at left back after suffering concussion last Saturday to play and returns in place of Ben Barber who drops out of the squad altogether Jackie is back in the starting line up he was not involved at all on Tuesday night after playing on Saturday was left out Matt Frei who did tonight. He. Will partner. At the center of the defense with the right back and Alex Alex with should say the left back in the midfield Well let's try and pick this apart we've also got. In the starting line up so you would suspect maybe he might step forward and play in midfield the south the new. Place from Choose day as well. Who came on to good effect in the 2nd after as well as does Danny then we've got Richard Brodie and I have to admit Sam fielding Yeah I'm in the same position as you. If you know anyone knows anything about some fielding please do get in touch with those 8 want trouble free on the text message with the word York b b c York sports field and yet another player has been the football club in the last 24 hours that no one seems to know about. As one of the youth team players I been told which again for a game like this. It's a massive risk. If the manager thinks he's going after the game others a decent chance he's going to be going I don't suppose it is a risk for him but I don't get it. We should say Luke Simpson Daniel Fraser Murdoch Matt Frei and Matty Dixon So you'd rather play youth team player than Fraser Murdoch who Jackie brought to the club a couple of weeks ago yes he doesn't have much 1st and much 1st team practice is the pros he doesn't have many professional starts. No sign whatsoever of Scott Fenech no just no constancy in selection even week in week out on a game by game basis to work out the form. Joe did play in midfield as well a few games for Gary Mills didn't know whether that's going to center of midfield on the round. Always played as a defender field. Fielding as a youth team central midfield player so apologies for not being abreast of the whole York City set up in terms of plays all the way down to the youth team that he's supposed negligence on our part but on the other case on the other hand there have been so many plays involved for York City this season. Franklin Clark is here this afternoon he was on the bench on choose they didn't come on it in the stands this afternoon. I just don't understand it. Frankly when players on some days are good enough to be in the in the 16 and then on other days aren't good enough to be in the squad at all came Felix came on and Cheeta not he's not in the squad at all this afternoon Daniel is in the squad just in Johnson started the game isn't involved in the squad a tall the there must be a process which sees you go from starting 11 to substitute bench to out of the squad there must be something behind it but at the moment I just can't see where we should say they could have injuries however this is happened on a case by case basis and all these players have a. Very strange. And more experienced players into the team. At the midfield so we'll. Probably get fielding. Positions or maybe. You're on the right side of midfield because that's what he's going to do is going to rank just in front. They want trouble 3 starting a message with the word York York City fans at b.b.c. Sport as well as know what you what you what you make of this of this team news Shakti news as opposed once again this afternoon this text Stephen x.p. Says Jackie should absolutely stay at York City there's too much short termism in football don't forget this is a long term plan and the club needs time to rebuild some of the abuse he's been taking has been nothing short of scandalous Good to see Jason booking the hire and fire the mentality and supporting the manager through tough times says Stephen Hax . I have to say Steve you are in a very very small minority of people that would think that Jackie McNamara or certainly have been getting in touch with getting exactly. The overwhelming swell of support we have to say from a want to stay alive is that Jackie McNamara should be gone and that I would like to see another man come in to take over at York City now however that new money is nothing to say that he's going to do any better than than Jackie McNamara and of course he's going to have to deal with the same squall that has been assembled for this season you have to say. Good afternoon while at last I made it to my 1st game of the season I'm hoping to get that away when I'm trying to stay positive can you say hello to Caitlin she's 9 and it is our 1st York City game bring us luck Caitlin a that be nice Well yeah. It will collect any straw when we if it's their 1st game . Just go back to this team needs a little bit and just just ask the question what christenings about this with this situation that Jackie McNamara has where he is essentially willing to try and save his job if indeed that is really what his intention is this afternoon I'm not suggesting he's in any way going to try and not win the game but certainly whether or not he wants to stay at the club I think isn't necessarily as clear cut saying women continue I look at that and I I have cynically thought today would would there be a team where we would recognize as this being Jackie's men it's a big squad. The player himself. You know he needs the players to fight from this afternoon if he's going to get a result I wonder if we would be able to look down the team and say yeah those are the plays that I've really been fighting hard for their manager this season. I'm not I'm I'm still uncertain by this because I think that the number of changes throughout the season is just I just made a little. A point is. The case well the way. We don't see these players in training so we don't know what some Fielding's be doing in training clearly as impressed Jackie and then we know that he based on statistics he's a very analytical about all these players covering games about what they're doing in training look at the stats and the players well the Clearly the. Best suited to try to get a result here today for York City listening to Match Day Live here on b.b.c. Radio York 25 past 2 for the 1st time this afternoon let's see what the situation is like all. Around. Between. Going back. Around our area to be. Around about. The. 3033. On Inside Out this week more than 30 years after the violent clashes between police and striking miners. Get to the truth I have a feeling somebody wants to. Go inside out investigating agency workers that. Are So have things changed and the women who. Finally get recognition. This goes. Up and that's inside our Monday at $730.00 on b.b.c. Warm. Welcome back to Braintree watching the York City players being put through their paces at the far side of the pitch in front of us. Jackie McNamara standing in the center of the half. Side with a couple of his backroom staff. The analyst. Talking before. His team selection. What the statistics come back from training and from games they're in deep conversation before the middle of the pitch or Braintree left on side b. Really really interesting as well as after them to see what the crowd is like because lots of people. I think probably going to come here today because of the whole uniqueness of the situation Chris we know from looking on social media that there are going to be York City fans now and side they were coming here hoping for York City to lose can either be right no never straight answer to that one the thing is when we nearly went out of existence early in the millennium there you know Jason McGill came. And everybody said we support your city no matter where we were whatever division we're in that still the same there is still going to be the supporters who are really looking after this will. Go to a game and they're spreads and wanted to lose just to get rid of a manager. But that shows how deeply upset they are with was happening York City in the last 18 months you're quite right but you've got to look at the longer situation with a certain you know we need their York City supporters they need to put the younger ones coming through to support the club as well. You know it just. Through that you know you do you want to lose a game or turning point off this way cause a 61 defeat at guys like that came amongst a tidal wave of pressure on the manager from the fans once again the lights were fake stuff they went out the state on but it didn't get much better city loss to the club at the bottom of the lake who hadn't won all season so what went so badly wrong here is Jackie are again. I think. The. Atmosphere. And we didn't feel too cool and I think. That. You know when things went wrong in that game we just. Basically and. Every week every game. As was the opposition. Comments are quick to ask. For days to think about what happened that guy's way on . We finished I think the players need to have a long hard look at themselves and I suppose that that probably plays into some of the surprised in the team selection this afternoon for those that were involved now on they were very very poor and I think that was for a good 7580 minutes of the game 1st 10 minutes not bad you know both sides showing some attacking intent both sides looking like they'd probably score some goals in the evening in a game where both sides have been struggling for form a both ends of the pitch what the problem for your cause that is seen as goal started to go against an absolutely crumbled and it was it was it of monumental fashion and real really embarrassing Starlin some of the on the edge of the people just smashing balls out the ground from inside their own half just panic stations you cannot capitulate in a game of football at this level you know it was it was sort of under 11 stuff really aware the mentality when and they were just desperate to get off the football field that you know that the floodlight failure seemed to be a bit of a blessing really ironic the fact that it was 41 and ended up 61 I think it could have been worse had we not had the stoppage there because you know leading into half time I think guys the blood in the water and guys he could have gone for 6 in the 1st half so as it was you know plays like Simon has lost I think no one I know no one rated too well in the press from the day after and I think that's probably right but at least I saw from the likes of Simon has not the likes of young Picower ski who came on in the 2nd half a bit of grit of thunder I mean as I said at the end of the end of the game. You know what you want Chris will tell you as a former pro you want someone to stick to for increase surely and at least tackling just that just to show the opposition that they've just not given up the ghost. You know those are probably self. You know you go to the end sometimes you get only the wrong end of a hiding you just gotta keep going you've got to keep working me to say. It could you quite believe it when you saw the result on hold for one at one stage and then it was well after midnight in Malta before it went to 6 you know. But then again to capitulate to get. The same thing. To ruling in the 1st few games just just having lottery a banjo deciders as well on a Tuesday evening I don't think he could really believe what he was watching at times in that match right and it was just as you said it was a referee Yeah I mean the people that listen to the game and choose they will will have their own moments that they that stood out in the in the commentary 9 from being alongside land Ryan and as he said we were. Sorry for. Pollies that stuck out was so brutally honest with this through the game there was a moment when there was a throw in to York City and then Ray took his microphone away and just holidays down the line and then turned back to Somerset I'm sorry that just making such bad decisions and it's the thing of maybe they were there and there was some lack of experience lack of leaders in that York City side but you know maybe it's a moment where some players take time out to to watch what's going on around them and say this it's a simple game at times and we're making it very very difficult with some really really bad decisions. The basics to go to be correct and you do the right thing so they would have said you know if. You play on the line you don't saw a playable inside you know you get pulled out play down the line we're going to throw. Pushed down the line a plane there is admirable he has tried to do I think in a way that he wants to stay to play out from the back you have to remember My been a little bit on the Gary mills but this is the National League you're not going to be successful the majority the Times by to pick up the football in the defending 3rd of the field no you've got you've got to play the other half the food got to get their defense to and put on the pressure and squeeze it from the back well organized correctly and do the right thing obviously too many individual errors. Really won't decide today you've got to do which is what it's all about. Really and say I'm going to have a better game. And individually right through the team you've got to do that you've got to believe that you can do that play within the team as well we've talked about your banjo coming back into the starting 11 this afternoon so let's have a quick little bit from an about said from the York City manager Jackie McNamara he's making his 2nd debut for the club today's long awaited 2nd debuts be blighted by injuries for the 1st couple of months of the season Jackie says he's just delighted to have an available. Future. Offensively good to have. With him and see him perform. Totally. Fitness wise. But going to be a recap of the York City team news in just a 2nd 6 changes for the midst man this afternoon but let's quickly get across to the c. Energy Stadium where the how to get Town Manager Sam and Weaver is with Barry. Looking for few steps in Simon's much better view of the pitch from here. Both sets of players warming up and the young lads I want to tell fans arrive one change as expected to get the chance to j.p. Yeah I did well you know. It's right to patiently. It is 10 in that side and we spoke on face and he's well up for it. Ok you've now got all these top sides to play plus Halifax and if you beat them it could be anybody to shift the United excited I exactly right and I said Max again sort of forward to next week but this is they always say that about him but say you know this is what Woods was in for a season f.a. Cup Isabel in a sense and this is a big justice today in the big picture where we're the hour we are in terms of rain persons Alfredson away where we were this moment they can we keep the recent run of form going along. Names as well filed them only I'm guessing huge games and huge amounts. Possibility of fiction against as it were a 2nd say was I see challenge to those things as well that I think we're at a big game same thing that can raise our standards against a top team so they said it will be revealed the next month and so they certainly will surely Jason will couple on the well from York City's always schooled goals as the Open House Saturday night is a bright spot in the end around the 18 yard box but injuries body good movement finishes well so we can't allow that allowing much room to maneuver within the 18 yard box and forgot to physical lodging the thought of a physical therapist against him and the men's this is a shower nearly as well Kerry knows book Speed j.p. Robinson pocket ole injured but he seems to be pulling out the results almost regardless Well that's the way it's going to continue if you want to sustain a challenge no point playing the victim we've been here before with injuries I'm just trying to resolve and hopefully the coast he said unit we've got people understand their roles when called upon so we have to prove that we can withstand the pressure of injuries and don't any more down on top of the same lacing events of again that we will be certain but now we've got a good group and them so full of bench which is important on the line so all the engine plays it definitely will in the zone how long is j.p. Out you know most importantly about for next Saturday Good good and possible to be on his way Jane on Thursday but it's too soon to get involved today so we can do the 3 sessions of baseball joint away but if it followed by just good stuff let you go thank you is this how the town money should someone who even the sun is shining on the pitch locally because the stands behind me I'm in the shade kick off 3 o'clock food coma to come between Chili who fit our town who is 2nd in Nashville north on I am 666 and 1216 very possibly a massive win for our Get town if they could do this afternoon a way to Chile a National League North Run. Let's go across to Rowan who can give us a recap of the York City t.v. News this afternoon where we can certainly tell you that York City have made 6 changes from the 61 defeat to choose stay out of the starting 11 that started that game Friday Johnson Clappison and Fenech into the lineup the suff the new. Fielding and Brody the. Youth Team midfield player making his York City debut the 2nd year trainee this afternoon is one of the players tasked with saving Jackie McNemar's job some of the team that started on cheese they dropped to the bench some drop out completely I'll go through the starting 11 and indeed our best guess this afternoon because there are a few moveable pieces we think are leather and will certainly certainly we think the back 4 from right to left is going to be. Jack Higgins and Alex with all the midfield then with. Simon fielding and Danny Galbraith with the supporting Richard up front that little nuggets which could move around in this. Play in center defense with right back and in midfield so that he certainly the best guess so far in the substitute bench this afternoon in the goalkeeper Daniel Fraser Murdoch Matt Frei and Matty Dixon so fine Dixon dropped to the bench pain Felix who was involved on choose to not drops out completely as does Justin Johnson as does Ben Clappison and as does Ben Barber Yes. Because well I should say. As Roland said really we're just going to wait and wait for this game to kick off to be able to confirm for you exactly how York City are going to line up which formation they're going to employ We don't think it's a 442 or maybe a 4. Soon as we get underway here we will let you know how that means demand a lining up lots of you continue to get in touch with the program this afternoon it won't trouble 3 starting a message with the word b.b.c. Sports Gary Marshall in Beverly says if your could do we. Today we still need a new manager also minister Jackie McNamara is taking this proud club backwards so quick to some troops he'll go anyway whatever the result I won't be returning to the present until he is gone like hundreds of others Roy says How can any team at all be successful with all the changes which I think is a valid point you don't normally see Christians attain. In every game from the starting 11 but successful. Will usually have. 2 or 3 players who can come in and do the job just as equally as well. But generally you need to settle to see you can't keep switching into in the game around the say. The 6 changes in there. To play. In the rest will spread across. I suppose the problem is at this point you know we would expect 6 changes after what happened on Choose day and with the manager's job on the line the problem they have is in previous matches having made so many changes week in week out for such a large squad the book's already been written on the squad play so it's not like there are an awful lot of squad players left in this York City team who we don't certainly feel we know a bit about and indeed it's not always positive I mean. He's finally making his 1st appearance of the season this is great news Danny has only played 2 games before today also good news he's looked like a positive impact everybody else well we've seen a bit of them and they've not been too impressive library about Joe Chris old York City fans remember him from his previous pilot York City that was really really successful there is no way that he can still be the same player after having so long off it with injuries these last couple of years it makes it return to being that player in 4 or 5 weeks time but today it's as good an awful lot of a player has only been back in training for 4 days here 4 days straight back into the game you know. There's a team games where anything for him to stray. Back in to shows how desperate really we are to have a bit of experience in the t.v. But yeah a. Couple years ago but we don't know much about him now and be a lot to ask you've been to suddenly turn their. Performance Today Rich in Huntington says another comic and of the coming choice is not giving those players that Jackie mainly brought in time to prove themselves I think it's a lot of pressure especially for farm fielding this text Stephen x.p. Says more people than you realize what jacket to stay but I just keep getting shouted down by those who abuse the manager would love to see who I think could do better but whoever it is the same fans will be doing exactly the same to him this time next year there are a disgrace to fabulous point I think we did address it slightly early on when we said you know the vocal majority against the quiet minority I think certainly that the groundswell of opinion based on what we feel in the ground of what the sort of correspondence we have is for. Leaning against Jackie McNamara we want to hear from more people that wanted to stay because we want to hear that we want to hear that side of the story from fans who look on and I think it's a valid argument where do you go next when when a manager he's have going to have to come in and deal with this large squad of players going back to one of the previous comments on their you know hard on some feeling some feelings got no pressure in this afternoon this could be a bit of a master just by chucking a kid into he's got no pressure on him School at midweek in the f.a. Youth Cup against. You know there is no one who is going to be pointing the finger at Sam fielding whatever happens this afternoon Yeah I agree entirely with. The one I don't think you've got any pressure on him whatsoever. He can go out. To all of these plays out there. Is a long time the game is. Most memorable times are when you're playing. Go I will enjoy. Play with a smile in your place and that's what we're going to do today. Yeah good luck to Sam Simon from Selby says I just hope whatever happens today to find some stability an interesting squad choice but Frye and frantic as well as others look broken so maybe fresh blood could be a good thing let's hope guys really was the game where rock bottom was reached and the only way from here is up says Simon Subban I think that's a message that every York City fan would have their fingers crossed that yes guys he was the lowest point and that York City now starts on to go on some sort of a port trajectory Well let's get the players take on this week's events now the fate of Jackie McNamara as we've said it basically sits in their hands today but feel the Yanks are Koski Greece is an unprecedented situation that they're in it's been a strange week. Spirit. To try and spin that is heard in really good positive result for the whole club in general. It's been an interesting week certainly from the outside looking in with a statement that was released this week what sort of reaction have you as players had to that. Surprise because you know we don't we don't want to put in a position like that. It should've come to this we you know we we've put the manager in the position to bring that statement out and so we have to take a lot of responsibility as players. So you know we're looking to put informants shows that we want to stay and we have got embrace this pressure i situation because it is a difficult one of I've never experienced it myself in football and I don't think you know that the many scenarios across the world footballers happen before where somebody come I said it will bust so really a case of embracing that pressure in. And trying to get a win that we don't need how much more pressure has it put on you because obviously the last few weeks has been quite a stick from the crowd as well Terry much as. I think he's been a little bit out of pressure but you know as a football player you want to play any games of pressure you'd rather be a Cup finals in in you know a game to win a title or something so yeah it is a different type of pressure but it's something I said for you you have to embrace you have to keep your emotions in check in and not over Try thing that can sometimes negatively affect your performance. But we're man we have to stand up and be counted so it's something that we know what the situation is and it and we need to show how much we want to manage that is for the club he was all here so you know we've got to repay him and get the win that we need and from that I guess a sense of loyalty perhaps to the manager as well yeah well we're all at different stage in our careers that the pleasure York City some of given a chance from the lower level of summer a young and developing players and someone looking to get their careers back on track so we are lots of his manager for giving us a chance of such a fantastic club. We have to give thanks to the manager and chairman for providing us with the opportunity such as a supporter of come to this week we should have you know we should be hard to table with more points tally playing better football but it's a situation of erosion and we have that they were so you personally how I obviously been injured last few weeks yeah I mean it was kind of a difficult one to choose that because I've been out for a month or so to come back in in place in minutes but the result kind of completely Tanishaa return so. Only having one transition for that parents now is a bit sore off that I 45 but it was it was great to be back out there in over 20 years more experienced to try to help us get a victory on Saturday and just remind us what was the injury at home a cough about an hour into the talky game. Which is a bit difficult to explain because it wasn't like it was 5 minutes now after half time it kind of just come on the air and it was a parrot a season more of just felt like I was getting stuck in what's going to go cry to couple of assistance and feel like I was really get into my stride so difficult timing but again looking forward to trying to get back in volved and get some golf aside to get the win and hopefully find the farm that you were in as you just mentioned before the e.p. Took the injury Yeah see it was very frustrating. To have some good rhythm to start to click with a few things with a few teammates and although there was also the time with him this week we were actually present good football in the 40 since that time and the results have been great so be nice to get a lot of experience cries about myself fleet would have an opportunity if he feels he's ready which we all have he does because he brings a lot of quality to our side and he also brings experience and leadership that way we're craving a moment so yeah when we got those types of players back I think it changes our style Levanon squad shake a lot. Listening to Hunter Koski that Chris is clear they want to win this game today for the manager Yeah I think it's important that. He's talking about the Compuserve done a Galbraith. A bundle by bring to the side no not only does in the team probably all the last few games you know you need players who are going to talk in good company and see you plays around especially people are some who do go a long way with a lot of well domes needs to be all over the park and they need to be winning their individual battles out there but also legal plays it see him play on the film full and enjoy the game should remember as well that this is a massive game for Braintree if they win this game. Well definitely went by 2 goals that will go but York City they may have a go but York City if they did win it by one goal. They're looking to New York City if you go to play and play and now you know while things are going badly with say depends how well Jack is motivated this team to come here and tune in the performance today the very thing. To say. To Jackie to do so you know. Jackie say you know his team will probably go as well just interrupting Chris one of the backroom staff to just come to the main stand here and has dragged Franklin clock out and asked him to go to the dressing room but that could be reading too much into this it could mean that somebody is injured himself for York City in the warm weather that someone who is starting this afternoon or one of the members are going to be on the bench but Franklin clock has just been taken all the way across the page and into the York City dressing room which if that is the case and if someone is pulled out with an injury at the last minute that is just one more problem that Jackie McNamara's didn't want to have to deal with. Only 4 games back into fitness. If there is anything in this. And the other players. Jim from Junction Jim from Stamford Bridge as I sympathize with the silent minority as you say I was against the cries to sack the manager which seemed to raise its awful turns within 4 or 5 weeks of Jackie McNamara's arrival to be honest all I hoped for was some stability but the only stability we got was being rooted to the bottom of the table joined the dissenters as even that modest hope was evaporated at a ridiculously early stage of the season Hey How it's not easy being a City fan Incidentally I will not fill my season ticket birth until I sense a true feeling of improvement I want to be entertained as well as see a successful team and Dave Powers is a place that some Fielding's playing frankly it may be an idea to play the whole youth team it couldn't get any worse how can anyone defend Jackie these are his. Players and then blatantly not good enough if he does go today then God help the next man I for one would never want us to lose we all love the club and I hope we can finally enjoy a Saturday for once says Dave on Twitter at b.b.c. York sports Lily says York City needs a win after that shocking defeat on it choose day come on New York City. Says Come on boys final 90 minutes under Jackie McNamara And let's not do anything rash he says. That he would like York City to lose today and Jackie McNamara with then leave the football club. But he might miss this is any news at a brain treaty yet we will bring that to you in just a few minutes run in still trying to get a head around the York City News and so many changes not really any of us know in what sort of formation but York City going to play this afternoon David Craven says I don't think Jackie McNamara has any intention of staying but he's playing fielding because he's seen as having in the chance a must mean with his display for the youth team on Tuesday night when he scored the 1st goal in a 6 no win and says it's an old team shape it's not a positive team was looking to win but I don't think so now I think we've got to wait until kick off to the formation as I say and give it 5 at least 5 or 10 minutes to work out whether it's a positive team that Jackie McNamara's picked whatever way you look at it never going to get a football manager putting out saying he doesn't want to just want to see a side win again whether it's his 1st game or his last game so yes surely got to be a positive team or team at least that Jackie McNamara thinks is good enough to get all 3 points I think is a 1st of all. And keep it clean as long as we can count on the break. Game against Braintree remember both. They're looking for a win as well so be an interesting one. Going right for trying to win the game in the post 10 minutes. Well it is job depending on today's game here at Braintree what exactly is Jackie McNamara looking for from his team well it is energy fate and you know put in the way it is you know trying to put them in that isn't in but even a ball technics want to go in and you know believe in the meet it will have a chance to believe in we're going to score. Things to do day to day that people don't see that becomes a game thing you know they become something else or do something else because there's a little bit of pressure and some to mutate to do is trying to that patient with a book and you know it's I think that's been difficult for them to handle them suck I'm the final whistle. One outcome for you one way other than the other isn't you either stay or you go would you do that immediately I would be more tough for the chairman 1st regardless. And so it was still speak and I think in with the scheme it was to model speak because we must arrange my board says the owner but he's a good friend a good person and he's And when I came in he's aware state and the reason why is the ever reason to stay and change change if it doesn't you know see them trying to help from the other side of it. But what we've done. And. Maybe some relationships with fans it's all obviously. You have to. You know. York City manager Jackie McNamara Ryan Elving to me says I hope this club can find the unity across the board we had all time low fans against each other and against the club manager players Jason McGill now won't want to know what all hopefully today is the turning point but hopefully Jackie himself can lead the revolution says Roy and Albert to be listening to match day lives not now 5 to 3 let's find out what the situation is like on the road. Thank you also quite a problem heading out in the balance particularly a. Southbound the severe delays between. Middleton time Slane it's. 58. And. There is a diversion available.

Welcome back to Braintree as the players all Braintree out of York City make their way out to line up with the officials right in front of us here in the main stand should say no segregation here at Braintree today the York City fans behind both goals is going to be impossible to know how many York City fans have actually come all the noise in front of the applauding is from some of the York City fans who were sitting in this main stand for final text before cross to Ronan and to Chris he says this is the 1st time I've and texted this season I just haven't at the heart to be honest I've said it before and I'll say it again nobody wants to get rid of their manager because it only means your team are doing poorly come on 60 play like your jobs depend on if you want to hurry get time commentry be across and I am frequency 666-1260 here on f.m.

Good afternoon that takes this head play like your jobs depend on it the players jobs don't Jackie McNamara's job though categorically does a result the staff the new will determine whether Jackie McNamara will resign at the end of today's fixture a positive result needed what a positive result will be this afternoon no one's really any the wiser what he has done the soft the new shuffle his pack once again Jackie McNamara and these are the players who he's hoping will is he hoping we don't really know whether he wants to stay in the York City job but certainly these are the players tasked with delivering that by. Result the news that may prolong his stay of execution as York City Manager is the 2 teams this afternoon at the bottom of the form table in the National League and 2 who are very very much in the. Position in the National League so far this season in the bottom 4 York City are in danger of falling into the bottom 4 if they lose by a couple of goals against. York City are going to play from right to left in this 1st period wearing their all yellow. Shirts blue shorts and York City have made 6 changes the softening from the starting line up which was beaten 61 against unsurprising I suppose I suppose many might say after the performance and the result on Tuesday but some surprises in the starting line up will go through that line up in just a moment 1st of all they got to get us underway in this crucial National League fixture Jackie McNamara waits across from us in the dugout wearing his training gear the softer Newnan overcoat with his hands behind his back as he watches in what could be his final match as the York City Manager Braintree town get his.
