There's no doubt we are short of fire power up front & Tshimnaga would have been a real bonus. However the fees/add on received for Pollock Grist & the lad who went to Peterborough - seemingly generating in excess of £500k - will have gone to JSF. No one could have predicted gates in excess of 6k which have developed once the likes of Tshimnaga had signed elsewhere. We are still paying for the inept/questionable arrivals/motivation of the fruitcake. Morais is sitting on his laurels taking the wage & we are probably paying a good part of Rose's wages. Gibson & Jackson won't have moved on without compensation. Scannell hasn't been seen this season along with Grant & Wright. We still have have to pay JSF some £1m. & so the drain on our income continues - for a while.
I doubt JSF envisaged any sane/honourable individuals would take on the shambles he had created. They have & the future is bright - 4 defeats on the bounce is hugely disappointing but let's keep the faith & be patient. We are only 3 points off top spot. UTM.

Spot on Heswall.

I really hope the fans stay behind the team and manager when things get even tougher in the forthcoming sequence of games. The only thing I can’t tolerate personally is a lack of effort and commitment and that is clearly not the case with this fantastic squad of dedicated professionals. Sure some young individuals are making mistakes and it’s clear that confidence has gone from high to low but I think it’s time to show faith and vocal encouragement rather than condemnation.
I think Hurst got yesterday wrong and he knows it, and the players he did have faith in let him down. I think that criticism needs to be constructive and we need to guard against hostility or abuse creeping in. Stick together, and crack on. Overall we are very well placed and our support will help to sustain that if we stay really positive.
Great post We as fans have every reason to be optimistic given the new owners and for the first time in a long while a team/squad that is competitive. Blind optimism is obviously misplaced and when things get sticky we as fans have every right to ask questions and expect more. But if we believe our club is moving in the right direction, it remains our role in that, as fans, to get behind the team and show our support. So long as we continue to believe the club is in good hands and moving forwards, we have to expect and accept that there will be ups and downs but continue to support the team and keep the faith. UTM

Momentum is important but every teams will have their good and bad spells.
How many would expect their bad spell to come, having been top of the league, against Wealdstone, Aldershot & Notts County and also get turfed out the FA Cup by a team a division below?

Not many but that’s football. Man Utd and Sunderland fans were full of hope not long ago and now can’t buy a win. It’s sh1t but it happens. 3 of the 4 defeats have been away and we were unlucky to lose to Notts County. Friday could be the turning point or things might go against us. Either way I won’t be losing the ability to reflect rationally on how far we’ve come as a club in the last 6 months.
