Quoted from RonMariner
We currently sit 20th. Of the four teams below us two have very wealthy owners who could easily but their way out of trouble, and now one have a manager who has won the L2 championship previously.

I think our task was just made a little harder.


You do realise we also have a manager who got a team automatically promoted from league 2 also?, plus we are 6 weeks further down the line than Colchester, personally I think we'll be fine, at least with us it aint gonna be kick n hoof as in the Cowleys style.

I do indeed. But that doesn't change my opinion that our task just got a little harder.

When you’re at the bottom of the table and kick and hoof gets results who cares what it looks like? Whatever works IMO!

I find it strange that the majority view appears to be  that for us it’s not possible to sign good players in the January window because they are not available but when it comes to other clubs eg FGR, Salford the view changes to they will be.

Exactly. I suspect FGR and Salford are more likely to splash the cash than us.

The question will be who spends their cash more wisely.

Sometimes I wonder how some people reach the level of conviction and certainty in their opinions based on little bits of information and such short periods of time.
Who knows whether the Cowleys at Colchester will work and who is credibly going to claim that ‘this team are in trouble’ or ‘’this team will be safe’. There are two relegation spots and probably 6-8 teams who might contest the battle to elude the worst kind of demotion in the remaining 20 odd games. I think it’s appalling that we’re in this mess, yet again, but it is what it is. Can’t really assess our chances of survival and progress until we have some more players and a few more games have passed. What worries me,  as I’ve said elsewhere, is that, with the players we have, I think we’ll lose our next three games, or, at least, I don’t see us winning any of them. I want to be wrong and surprised.
