I guess the old problem of persuading players to come here is still around. Which probably contributes to us giving 2 year contracts to average players

Quoted from Ipswin


In the non-league we used to win (quite) a few and were always in for a shout of promotion. Frankly I don't see what all the excitement about being in the 4th Division as opposed to the 5th is all about - I preferred the Conference


The trouble with being in the Conference is that someone has to prop up the club financially.


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

Last seven games won 3     drawn 2     lost 2 (one of which was to the best team in the division)


Just saying for a little bit of balance.i might have been lucky but I thought the 2 performances I saw at Luton and Barnet were very good in their different ways. Would hate to suggest that the words fishy and over reaction could be used here

If only Dixon, Kelly and Hooper were average.

I would suggest you are indeed lucky.

I would love to see a ‘shots on target’ stat for the whole of this division.   I would wager we would be very much in the bottom half. Maybe one of the  ‘statto’s ‘  could provide this.

But isn’t a lot of the frustration is the lack of consistency ?


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Never forgiven him since walking out on us after Cheltenham game, never once did he come off the bench to give advice, he just wasn't bothered, all his thoughts were on Yeovil job. Cant think for my life why Fenty brought him back. It hasn't worked out Fenty, so do a facebook job, unfriend him and delete him. Get a new manager in quick so that he can choose his own players in the transfer market, and lets get the 2nd half of the season back on the road, we still have a chance, but only if you get rid of the Clown.

Can't agree with Ipswin on the non league comparison. Teams in League 2 are a cut above that league for sure. No one as good as Accy visited us during our non league days, not to mention Luton, Donny, Pompey etc. We need to get back up to speed to compete but whether we have the right personnel in place to do that, only time will tell.

Time has told - fifteen years of it. When Mr Potato Head was last here, we were looking at going up to League 1 - now the ambition seems to be limited to ensuring we don't go down again. That lack of ambition comes from the top - let's not be afraid to say it.

Go back 10 league games - won 3 drew 3 lost 4,   or last 4 games - Won 0 drew 2 lost 2, we can pick out any particular group of matches to make stats look better or worse, its the stats for every game we have played in the season that matter and they dont look great

Same, the standard is better, how do I measure this? In L2 we see less balls kicked over the stands at BP, in Tin Pot it used to happen a few times a game
