Yes it's better than last seasons team.

You forget we are playing against a better standard of opposition this season so winning less games doesn't automatically mean we aren't as good a team.

Besides. We finished 4th last year. Hardly ripped up the conference did we. And we were miles off winning the league.

Pearson couldn't even get in the team last season!

And when is Macca going to get some competition for his place Mistake today I believe and he looked decidedly dodgy at Colchester last Tuesday

What wouldn't I give to have Nolan, Amond, Toto and Arnold now.

Also I can't work out how new signings from the Conference and a team who have just been relegated to the conference can be better than what we had (many of whom Hurst said were good enough for league football!)

In my opinion you cannot compare the two. Some people seem to be conveniently forgetting that over 46 games we were only the third best team (I'm not counting that last league result) in the league below so something must have been awry. Toto is for me a massive miss but not at all sure about the others.

I get your point Barra, but Toto was as error-prone as Shaun/Josh/Boyce. We are at a level where errors get punished. Orient's centre backs looked far stronger than ours today.

Yeah I get that actually...it's pure conjecture but perhaps Hurst shared your view! I'm trying not to get carried away but I might be guilty of thinking that at League 2 level every mistake is going to get punished. Perhaps (hopefully ) that isn't the case. Would Toto's speed have allowed him to get back at Palmer today? Moot point...

I think the perception that Toto was error prone is overplayed and most of his errors were corrected by his speed. He is a loss for sure IMO.

A few games in and the merchants of doom have surfaced.  I left Gy 33 years ago because of this same negative defeatist attitude.  Sorry to all the positive folk in Gy/Clee but with millstones like these the area will struggle for eternity.  Very sad but thankfully the away support (exiles plus local positive minds) is a breath of fresh air.
