Saturday

Looking forward to the start of our next run! 🤞🤞UTM!

Quoted from Meza

Personally i can see JS & AP selling up if the fans continue to moan like F*ck (and i wouldn't even blame them) simply because of their unrealistic yes UNREALISTIC expectations of winning the league.  

It has nothing to do with 1 win in 11 or what ever it is that you use to justify your moaning. I've had enough, every post is negative nothing positive or even a balanced argument, too many old knuckle draggers stubborn as f*ck its boring.

Good Night!!

I bet you thought he was good enough to keep us up last season and you also probably thought Neil Woods would have kept us up in 2010.

watch the crowd on Saturday and weep, that's probably going to be the lowest crowd of the season & it's his management that  is costing you a fortune in lost revenue. before you blast me with loads of X's, tell me i am wrong.

I commented on another thread last night about this and in demonstrates that despite all the comments we read on here about the Buckley days and being critical as soon as a long ball is played that in reality all a number of fans care about is the result and can’t enjoy a match unless we’ve won.

I acknowledge this bad run has gone on far too long and needs to be addressed however, the vast majority of the defeats were in away matches and our home form has remained very good despite the two defeats. Furthermore the vast majority of home matches have been very enjoyable and entertaining including the two games that were lost as pretty evenly matched teams battled it out and unfortunately we were the losers.

I like winning as much as the next man but I also want to enjoy going to BP and this season I have albeit I’m drunk off when we lose and face the trip back to Lincoln in depressed mode but once you look back at the game I can rationally look back and say it was a match worth going to. Luckily our poorer performances have resulted in wins and that always makes attending worthwhile.

I understand fans moaning about where we are in the league and this dreadful run but turning your back on attending when the home matches have been entertaining seems to me self defeating and shows I guess that we really only have a hard core of between 3 & 4 thousand fans and the rest would be regarded in “Fishy Terms” as plastic supporters.

I think those expecting us to win the league are in the minority but I do think most fans expected the play-offs and at every club up and down the land, expectations change as the season progresses and our start certainly raised those for a lot.

No matter how you look at it, managers get sacked for doing much better than 1 win and a draw in 11 games. The concerning thing for me is that Hurst has started saying that short-term business is looking easier to do than the longer-term approach Pettit told us all we were taking this month.

Yes short-term fixes might be easier but we've all been sold that we're building something and looking at another summer of 15+ signings.

There's not hundreds of people saying they expect to win the league though, but I do think its realistic to expect to finish in the top half of division 5 the owners must understand that.

As for 1 win in 11 thats unacceptable at any level.

No maybe not but then im a little more of a realist then some on here (winning the league ffs). seriously, just take a moment and go through some of the threads and tell me how many are positive or even balanced views not very many i tell you.  It gets a bit too much for me when negativity is in every thread, maybe its because i've been on this forum a long time and nothing has changed lol.  

Anyway have a great 2022,

You certainly wouldn’t expect us to be six points off the playoffs given where we were just over two months ago.

It’s very difficult to believe that something hasn’t happened behind the scenes and it’s worrying how few are contracted beyond this season.

I actually think PH is a good manager.  And NW took the job because of his affinity with GTFC i actually felt sorry for him he was hung out to dry by the board and by the players he inherited.  He should have never have been put in that position (he is too modest to turn down), its like painting a target on your back and then walking into the pontoon.  Is that a good enough answer for ya.

Completely agree with this. Granted, I haven’t been to any away games this season, but based on performances I’ve seen in the home games we’ve been as good as I can remember for several years. Whilst I’d love to have seen Towler and Hunt stay, the other loanees haven’t been overly impressive, so pleased they’ve gone to make space for better.

Fully expect we will win on Saturday (and DB will immediately lurch to the other extreme) and PH will bring in some good new players pretty soon.

If PH was that good a manager he should have done a better job of trying to keep us up last season, as for Neil Woods after his disastrous time as temp manager he should have had the decency to turn the job down, there have been plenty of assistant managers at other clubs who have stepped into the top job when a manager has been sacked but didn't want the main job. Even if he wanted to be the manager he should have walked away well before the end of the season.

Draw if we're lucky............. See my post 18 on this thread.
