[quote=3699]Think it's more a case of our first XI is a top three team
Our squad as a whole is barely top 8

This … and the first big test of our new owners I thought we needed  a couple of good additions but looking more like 3/4. I know hindsight is wonderful but if we’d signed tshmango (spelling) we’d have been ten points clear now



Yep. I have said it before and I will say it again. If we are not prepared to compete by spending money on the in-demand players we won't win the league. It does not matter how many improvements are made in other areas, if the owners are not prepared to pay fees and the wages to match then their good work will be in vain.

I would include Hurst in this as well; I think I recall when he was talking about Tshimanga more or less saying he was out of our reach. He has got to be more ambitious than that. We have very wealthy owners so this is unacceptable.

Hurst and the board have done brilliantly so far, but do we want to challenge for the title or not? I guess we will soon find out.

If Tshimanga stays fit I can see him firing Chesterfield to the title
Not sure if we could have afforded him or whether Hurst/board thought it was too much to pay?

I think Hurst implied the latter in an interview earlier in season

If he stays fit only Wrexham can stop them imo

It’s not really hindsight when you wanted him back in the Summer.

Can’t really say we’d be 10 points clear though. We’d have had a different team and tactics. Better off, but not 10 points.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Momentum is important but every teams will have their good and bad spells. We were 3-1 to Barnet before a dodgy red card and last minute winner sparked an incredible run. Just need a bit of luck or a bit of class and things can change quickly in this league.

Makes me laugh when people say there are no strikers out there available, well get the check book out and all of sudden they will become available. We are still seen as a big ambitious club at this level players will want to come, offer Bromley 50k and a kit of fish for Michael Cheek and they will be removing his name from his locker before the check clears. He may not want to leave but doubles his wages and he’s packing his bags. We have to be more ambitious if we want to compete at the top and get back to where we belong.
