Irrelevant of league position, i have only seen us play well once this season and it was in our one off performance against Hereford. 9/10 we play very poorly.

We are only in the play-offs because Lester is having the best season of his career, and we are in a very very poor league.

If it wasn't for Lester and poor opposition we would be scrapping it out with the Scabs.



Most of the games I have seen have been away, and there have been some good performances.

Its the home games where we have struggled.

I think its safe to say we played well at posh, the Imps, Franchise, wrectum......

Your point about Lester is true however, and our lack of scoring forwards,aside from JL is a worry.
A new hope.

I really can't understand this, 'we are 7th' or ' we are only four points behind 2nd place.'

Why don't folk realise it's all about THE LONG TERM. Todays position is not important, its the position at the end of the season.

The current concern is that if we only win 1 of the next 7 (on current form) we are a mid table outfit.

Is a bit like the liitle Dutch boy with his finger in the Dyke. 'Everything's ok, look there's no water coming through. What's the problem?'

The problem is, that for those who have the foresight to see the wider picture, everything points to the damn bursting.

I think most fans are right. We can see the wider picture and the alarm bells are ringing. There is no way we are going to be in the play-offs come May on this form. Rico says he's got to do some thinking. He should have said that 3 months ago when we were dropping all those home points against crap opposition.

hooray well said,a sensible intelligent post.
the point is we HAVE done ok in the past which is why we are in the position we are in now,currently we are doing poorly which is why we are slipping and are now talking more and more about how other teams have fared hoping to get a lucky break and some breathing space.
our squad is threadbare,we have what would appear to be key players desperately low on confidence,our home record is miserable,we insist on playing people out of position,our tactics are patchy.i'm not saying any of this because i hate the club and want them to fail,i want us to build and improve but it wont happen if the club as a whole accept weak wet waffy excuses,unacceptable performance and pathetic excuses.
this division is not that good and we have the capability to gain automatic promotion,if we sort ourselves out.
and no the fans and the atmosphere is not an excuse.
and the bloke who said about doing his job without loads of people shouting his name does have a point,playing football is a job of work for which you get paid,that in itself should be motivation enough.its not good enough to turn up at your own place of work every other week and more often than not perform badly.
i'm sure people will disagree,take little bits and come up with clever arguments,but there is a very strong and valid point here,and it needs sorting.
If you do what you always do, you'll get what you always get.

I've said should we go up I don't want Rico in charge. Long ball football is dreadful.


Where DO you get this long-ball business from. We've had a huge target man up front for the last two games and nobody will give him the ball in the air for love nor money. If anything we're trying to keep it on the deck too much when Fletch is playing, as witness Roche yesterday fannying about with the ball when he has the biggest bloke on the field crying out for it to head on to Jack.
Having said that. we're playing more football on the ground this season than we have done for at least the last four years, and rightly so, but it's just daft to ignore Fletch's power in the air, or what little is left of it.

Out his depth.
Tactically inept.
Doesn't know a good player from a bad player.
Basically clueless.

He may as well go now because there is no way we are going up this season or next under his management.

If we scrape into the play-offs we will get hammered over 2 legs by one of the better sides currently in the top half.


Probably the most sensible post I've seen on here for a long time.

It is now time for Mr Richardson to collect his things and vacate the office, Can you please also take Ward, Downes and Robertson with you.

Ward - 4 Goals in 17 starts at this level, need i say anymore.

Chester at home was the final straw and the board knows it, I was one who actually paid £15 to see possibly the worst game witnessed.

Ross you aren't very popular for your comments on here and I won't be either, the trouble is most on here seem to blinkered by the fact that were still in with a chance - Oh my god.

Whilst some of the home performances haven't been very good, Ross thinks 13 out of the 15 have been "very poor", with that in mind how can you take him seriously?

Because he's correct!!!

1 win in the last 7 games, but then you'll quote the 4 straight wins we had before against the mighty scabs,barnet, bury and wrexham.

The team are an absolute disgrace(barring Lester of coure), you really can't tell me that you enjoyed the game on saturday.

Please be honest.

saturday was painful to watch.
i think the important word in the statement was performance. results at home havent been as good as expected but no-one (except you & ross) can seriously say 13 out of 15 home performances have been poor.
seeing as you can say it which 2 games do you think we havent been poor in?

15 games at home.

Stockport-overseas
Wycombe-overseas
Bury-overseas
Barnet-very poor
Macclesfield-very poor
D&R-very poor
Morecambe-very poor
Rotherscum-got battered by a far better team
Bradford-poor
Scabs-poor
Rectum-very poor
Grimsby-very poor
Rochdale-very poor- improved second half but terrible defending
Hereford-one off against a team that didn't turn up
Chester-very very very poor

Can't comment on first 3 as i wasn't around, but since then i've seen 1 decent performance at home, so i'd like to change my quote to 11/12.

Typical - you have no defence for poor performances so as usual start to direct insults at the person who posted a comment.

Happens everytime.

You haven't answered the question though - are you happy with the way the team play

I would say the most pessimistic!
We can discuss, argue about, and shout about the possition we are in at the moment but when all is said and done the evidence does not lie. We are STILL in a playoff possition in the league with a +16 goal diference ( 4th best in the league) , which could be significant. 6 points off 2nd place. We are running hot&cold, but is'nt every team in this league this season.
Theres a question about teams with games in hand... well there are no garantees in this game but alot of ifs and buts. If these teams win all thier 'banked' points we would be out of the race!!!!! which would be an outlandish happening ( You'd get better odds if Elvis walk though your door). All the teams in this position below us would rather have the points, without exception.
You say people are blinkered no not at all, we see our failings as you do, but we are not blind to the fact that we are still up there dispite those failings.
We will be there or there abouts come May3rd.....KEEP THE FAITH!

'Poor performances' is purely a matter of opinion. If you give us an opinion based on a realistic assessment of the way the team played throughout the game it might just mean something. If you simply call all the performances poor because you're upset that they lost yesterday you're just throwing your dolly out of the pram.

which two home games do you think have been good (seeing as you agreed with ross)?

by & large this season the way the team have played: happy, results: not so.

Thats where i probably lied, only hereford was a good performance.

In some games they may have played well for 60 mins but that aint good enough, this league is absolutely shocking and our inability to hold a lead shows through week after week.

If ur happy with 7th in the league then fair play but if this time last year someone had said to you "this time next year we'll be 7th in league two would you really have said "I'll be happy with that"

I think we know the answer don't we.

Please don't get me wrong I would love it IF we get promoted (I don't pay £15 for nothing) but it's a long way away at the moment, probably too far with the players we have!!
