Quoted from Rodley Mariner


Who has stated that we'll win the play offs? The only statements of certainty I've read are from those who say we can't. I remain convinced we have a chance because before yesterday we had won 8 out of 10 games and drawn the other two making us the form team in the division. I think the team and manager deserve a bit more faith and support than being written off after one shitty performance.


If only it were just the one. As good as the recent run has been, too many points have slipped past to give ourselves a fighting chance of the title, which a real shame. It just all seems very deja vu to me. We were challenging at the top all too briefly.

Anyway, it's all academic now. Some are happy with the way the season has panned out and some aren't. Some think Hurst is a good manager and some don't. Guess we'll just have to wait and see which Town turns up for the crunch games.

Unfortunately, I haven't thought we were really good enough to go up as Champions at any point this season. We've been much improved since the arrival of Palmer and Robertson, hence the recent fantastic run of form, but I still wouldn't say we've looked to be a really good side. Capable, yes, but with too many weaknesses which have appeared too often.

If Robertson is out with injury for the rest of the season (as seems possible), that could be a big loss. Magnay is a capable replacement on the left but there is a lot of doubt in my mind whether Bignot or Parslow are good enough full-backs to help the team progress through the play-offs.

Fingers-crossed all will go OK, I suppose.

Bignot Will not be match fit unless played for the last two games, Parslow almost the same, they need some game time before the playoffs starting Saturday
