Looking grim indeed for them, but I don't think we will be in the League next season either unfortunately.    


Hard to disagree with that. I still harbour reasonable hope that we’ll make the play-offs, but winning them looks a virtual impossibility if I’m honest.

I can't see us finishing in the top three, so the best we can hope for I think is 4th to 7th. That means putting together three good performances in succession to go up, including an away win at either the second or third placed team.

Looking a tall order given our form in the last three months.

A local derby at Glumford Park next season beckons.

Crossing threads a bit but failure to make the top 7 will be a disaster in my eyes, regardless of what the club says.

Totally honest I don't see this current set of players going on some massive run of wins that will see us close down the likes of Stockport, Chesterfield, Halifax...  That said, it would be the most Hurst like thing ever if we went on a series of 1-0 wins to make it interesting.

We've been absolutely dire for 3 months, all the arguments of "oh we only lost by the odd goal" are null and void in my eyes.  We've simply not looked good enough.  Yet despite having such a turgid run where we picked up, what was it...7 points from 39 or something, we're still only 12 points off the top spot.  After such a run of form from October to January I would have realistically expected any side to be lurking above the relegation spots.

I know our early season form gave us a little buffer but even still, it amazes me we're still in the top half!   I think without an outstanding team this year, with lots of strong teams instead, you get that scenario where they just take points off each other.  Stockport are flying at the minute but I'm sure someone will take points off them.  

Town's problem hasn't been the defence.  That's remained relatively solid.  The issue has been midfield and creating/taking chances.  If you get McAtee back on song and can keep Maguire-Drew fit there's always a chance of scoring goals.  Behind them, Raikhy impressed me on Saturday but I definitely think we need a bit more.  Couple of good signings and it's not all over yet.  Stranger things have happened in football.

March through to mid-April feels like it could be a massive period, so many games against those we want to draw in.  Then, theoretically, the last 5 games could be a real chance for a last push.

I think there are a few old boys on here who may not be as flamboyant with the keyboard, but it doesn't bother me (grammar) as my brain can interpret what GM wrote, bit harsh supertown.

A bit of loose keyboard work is always forgivable. Using "less" instead of "fewer" is mildly irritating but "could of" instead of "could have" is unconscionable and deserving of a three-match ban from the Fishy...

Quoted from GrimPol
"We can all bleat on about if we had won here or drawn there, the simple facts are that John Fenty, Ian Holloway and Paul Hurst are all responsible for us being out of the Football League."

Not the players?


Players don't just walk off the street and start playing, someone has to sign them.

So if I employ an Electrician and Plumber, and the fuses keep blowing due to poor wiring and leaks galore due to rubbish soldering, it's all down to me.
Electrician and Plumber are blameless?
