I keep seeing posters trying to reassure us all will be well because games are running out, but I'm still not convinced. It would take a poor set of results on Saturday to really set the alarm bells ringing. It's exhausting just thinking about it.

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

We were having this discussion in the car on the way home. It depends how you define “better”. I believe the club are safer  with 1878 at the helm. But in all honesty I can’t see them putting in the kinds of money that is required to enable us to challenge anywhere near the top of this league. The team needs a complete overhaul. With all the money that needs spending on BP in the close season I doubt Artell will have much of a war chest available. I’m still not convinced Artell is the right man either. So although safer I’m not convinced we are “better”.

Players like Crocombe, Fox Taylor, Mcatee, Waterfall, Emanuel, Smith, Lloyd , Orsi, ect. We just have gone backwards so much . I know players age and some where only here on loan. However we shouldn't have a better squad in the conference compared to league 2. Even if we stay up what happens next season another season of being in the bottom quarter of league 2?

It's a repeat of the first time we got out of non league. The team that got us promoted was dismantled; we had a reasonably good first season back in League 2, then we went downhill, resulting in our eventual relegation back to non league. If we manage to cling on to our league status this season, what's to say we won't continue to struggle? We just don't seem to have the money or pulling power to recruit decent standard players, which is why we constantly find ourselves in trouble at the wrong end of the table. Watching last night again reiterated how very poor most of our players are and the season can be summed up by our failure to beat Harrogate yet again. Have we ever beaten them?

And at 72 i think i will be selective in the games i go to. After going since the late 50`s i think its time to do other things with my money unless take a big up turn in playing standards.
