    Too much doom and Gloom.

    Clem said the other day that he wants to get the ball forward quickly and is looking for players who are happy running forward with the ball like Dom Jeffries does. He’s not a fan of tippy tappy possession football. Our current problem is that we are very slow and methodical in the defence to...

    Football Governance Bill

    I remember the story of Exeter City a few years back. Fan owned but on the verge of bankruptcy when they drew Man Utd in the cup at St. James Park. They got a draw and with the additional money from the Old Trafford replay, it literally saved the club. Now, doing ok in league one. It really can...

    Shame he’s probably off to higher football

    Where did it all go wrong ?

    I sort of agree but no team has a Dave Martin type of player anymore. Dave wouldn’t have lasted twenty minutes in every game now. His style, as much as I loved it, couldn’t happen in modern day football. The best we can hope for is a disruptive player like Coleman. I’d personally love a...

    Too much doom and Gloom.

    Is it ? Hopefully Brad and the manager won’t set any targets for next season then …… we cannot fail. Just chill, go with the flow and see how it pans out. No targets for strikers, just hope they score a few. No clean sheet target. Maybe we can, maybe we can’t. Let’s hope the keeper and defenders...

    Too much doom and Gloom.

    All above agreed, but …………… The target before a ball was kicked was MINIMUM playoffs. Brad was very clear about that. I’m disappointed that we didn’t actually achieve that target given pre season hype. We’ve never been a million miles away from the playoffs but actually light years behind the...

    The stakes are high for next season and every season spent in league two gets higher. I assume Brad is talking about players rightly so. Two quality forwards are needed to add to Andrews and Hawks. That’s what is needed and that’s what we should break the bank to get. Ooh! And get Jeffries to...

    And possibly very safe in the playoffs. We all have opinions and mine is that sacking Harris was the wrong decision. Sliding down the table We was one point off the autos

    Where did it all go wrong ?

    Harris went to Cambridge to get them safe. They are pretty well safe He then went to Millwall to get them safe. They are safe. I’m pretty sure that has we kept him on at the time, we’d be at least safely in the playoffs. We had a blip when he was fired but still well in touch with the top...

    Exactly what I posted at half time but seriously didn’t expect those subs and a total capitulation from the manager. How the heck did he expect to win the game with one forward, nine defenders and Walker?

    Hoisted by our own petard unfortunately. Could have been all on the last game. Really have no confidence in the current set up.

    Of course, the problem now is, we rarely have two good halves. If we can replicate that first half performance it should be a good day. All we can do is win. We can’t influence other games.
