Stay positive

Even if we scraped into 7th we can't beat teams above us so it's pointless .

The play-offs are a lottery and all ways will be, you've got to be in it to win it.

Where's DB when you want him  

2 points of the play offs and loads of points to play for. Of course, were going to make the play offs and then get promoted. We will miss a local derby with Scunny but who cares when we're in L2. Positive and optimistic for promotion.

After being the worst team in the league, having that flipping charlatan Holloway in charge, 17 years of embarrassing dictatorship, 6 years or whatever in non league and learning nothing, letting the only manager since Buckley to bring stability and success leave because saving a few pounds was better, and anyway, a fitness coach doesn’t get you three points.


A confused catalogue of urine poor decisions and embarrassing approaches to running a club, sitting two points outside the playoff at the first attempt is not to be sniffed at. It could be better but then I’m sure every fan at every club says the same…

Now the dust has settled from last night.

There is still reason to be positive.

Win on Saturday, we’ll be back in the POs - albeit only due to games in hand for teams elsewhere. However, as I said a couple of weeks ago, it’s better to be in the POs than not at this stage of the season. .

I firmly believe that if we’re still in touch after the Stockport game. We’ll be OK.

Saturday does feel absolutely crucial now though. As does probably 7 points out of the next 9 (Daggers, Chesterfield & Weymouth).

Easy on paper…. Our form against the top half suggests it won’t be.

Keep the faith. UTM

It is only 2 points, but we just dont win games we should and lose games we shouldnt. Repeat after repeat

Mentally draining

I’m trying to get my head around your comment what category does the 17 games we’ve won fall into?

On a serious note in this league with numerous big spenders or teams like our opponents last night who may not be recognisable names but have been solidly building for a few years we where always going to find it hard to get a firm hold on a play off position.

Well before Hurst & 1878 arrived this club and the team needed major reconstruction surgery and a full rebuild from top to bottom as it wasn’t fit for purpose..... that purpose? Being competitive on the football pitch.

Anyone who thought we’d come roaring back in such a competitive league must have been deluded, it’s not nice to see and at times difficult to support.but In reality there’s a long way still to go.

I don’t expect us to go up but did think we’d be good for a play off position but the table does not tell lies abd I suspect we’ll be on the outside looking in as the season comes to a close.

It’s hard to be positive when we have just 9 points from 14 matches against teams in the top 10.

Unless we turn that form around in the 4 remaining games against top 10 opposition (Dag & Red at home, Chesterfield away, Stockport at home & Boreham Wood at home) then we’re destined to finish 10th.

Referring to teams around us sorry

A lot of these games we are losing against teams above us are of our own doing. Last night we took the lead against the run of play but weren't clinical enough during the period we were dominant. Clifton missed a gift of a header at home against Chesterfield I think it was. When we get presented with a gift, we need to be taking advantage.

Often when we break, if the keeper saves it that's the end of the attack. Last night Crocombe pulled off a great save but parried it into the path of Hudlin. There was a moment in the first half where McAtee took the ball wide, the midfield didn't run forward so his only option was to try beat 3 defenders with the cross into Taylor.

I take exception to the idea that Crocombe made a great save before their first goal. It was a weak shot which he flapped into the path of their striker. I thought he could have put his hand on it, personally, but he had to push it wide and not into the middle of the box if he wasn't going to hold it.
