Reality Check

Forest Green - top of the league but only one win in 4 matches, having just been dumped out of the FA Cup by a part-time side two divisions below them.

Sound familiar?

No need to panic just yet.

Well said.

Quoted from AlwaysHaddock1878

Worrying third consecutive 1-0 defeat on the bounce. Looks as if teams have found the blueprint to beat us.

We’ve been below par in the league since the Altrincham game but scraping results had masked it. Looks like the mask is slipping.

Desperately need another striker and anyone who thinks otherwise is a fckwit.

Time to focus on getting wins on the football pitch instead of anything else going on at the club. Massive massive game next weekend.

Its the middle of November FFS

1) Who gives a frig about FGR

2) St Albans looked a better side than either Town or Kidderminster.

3) I bet the FGR fan is liviv.

1. Quite a few people judging by the number of FGR related threads we see on The Fishy

2. True. Although it was a one-off match. FGR were awful but could have scored 3 or 4 in the final 10 mins.

3. I don’t know the FGR fan and I don’t why they would be in western Ukraine

Sounds like he’s waiting for Mr Perfect and is unwilling to take a chance on anyone who isn’t a perfect match in every single way. There’s only so much that stats & recommendations from your mates can tell you, sooner or later you have to take the plunge.

Let's take the plunge and sign a Richard Brodie character type player, I don't think so, the problem is we live in a world "I want it now", rather than waiting, it's a generation thing.
Years ago if you wanted something you had to wait and save, now its on the never never.

Hopefully whoever we sign will take better penalties.

Has the ball come down yet?

What the fúck are you blathering on about? People, including Hurst, have wanted another striker since the summer when it was clear we were light.

We’ve done nothing about it and now coming into a run of games where we play 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th (twice), 6th, 8th and Wrexham away all in a few weeks, hoping to make do and praying none of the 3 strikers are out of form or injured.

People like you are just as prone to catastrophising as anyone else, making out that ANY potential signing is going to upset the apple cart, ruin team spirit, wouldn’t be any good, would have a bad attitude, would cost too much, etc etc etc.

Difficult to comment with great accuracy because I've only been to Wealdstone out of the last 3 games. However, the issue there wasn't that we failed to convert our chances into goals, it was that we failed to create chances
Whilst I think it would be great to sign a new striker is that really our number one priority?

Exactly.

This ‘we might sign another Brodie’ narrative is papering over what was clearly a problem when Grant and Shop missed pre season. I haven’t done the maths but there must be a shedload of cash from over budget attendances. If we needed a Tshimanga in August, nothings changed.
