Is it me, or are we almost always shown up by the opposition in terms of a clean first touch, avoiding a tackle, movement off the ball and crisp passing. Exceptions are Hess, Vernam, Hendrie and Dennis. Most League 2 players have shortcomings of some kind but we are embarrassing at times. Unfortunately, Grayson also appears to fit the pattern of steady defender but little ability to beat his man.
Body language and verbals between team mates today show rapidly diminishing confidence, trust and heart. For all of MJ's references to blooding young players, he has mishandled the who, when, where and how too many times. Replacing Cardwell's physicality with Burrell was a pointless gesture. Buckley for Davis maybe, or Pollock for Collins for the last 25 min would have told us a little more about their abilities.

Because when fans stop falling in love with Jolly and see through the smoke screen. They will see that he raly does not know what he is doing as a manager. He may be a very good coach and a very nice man with nice words, but he is no manager yet

He’s no manager yet ... he kept us in the league last year and has managed it again , I suspect our budget is a bout we’re we'll finish this season.  Accrington  Stanley got promoted on a low budget but it doesn’t happen very often.

Trouble is Fenty thinks we can be an Accrington. When will he realise that he's tried Lady Luck for far too long and runs like we're currently on show it doesn't work. To be fair to Jolley, we're down to 15 fit pros plus the kids.

I can’t see how we’re going to improve with no investment , in fact these type of seasons will be the norm until we slip out the league again. After 2 decades of pure shite I’d love change at the top

I’ve been saying it for ages but unless you where a Town mad multi millionaire you wouldn’t “invest” in GTFC in its current for as there is nothing in reality to invest in.

Parker obviously in the beginning disagreed with you herts and when I said invest I meant that very loosely

It's his only hope along with his often spoken mantra that we're lucky that he's saved us from being a Stockport, York or Darlington. I can't think of anything positive or progressive he's ever said to inspire generations of Town fans over the years, more project fear than project hope. Another mantra is be careful what you wish for that gets trotted out. Again, project fear, there's no hopefulness, no inspiration, nothing for fans to latch onto and set the pulses racing.. and here we are.. yet again.. Groundhog Day.. different manager, same owner..

Are you saying that that is Fenty's plan?

Just to hope we stay in the League each season?
