Survive on low crowds, part-time players and a small budget.
Next Saturday v Town will be their 4th in 7 days and our first in 12 days.

That said, I can think of a few fans of a few clubs who would love to have our record to date.
In fact, how many clubs have actually won promotion yet never mind being crowned champions?
Most teams have a poor run of form at some time during a season. Very few have that run after the jobs been completed though.

Agreed, Dave.
No one's happy with recent form but we've got to view it in context.
As said, it's like a long distance runner blowing the field away then relaxing and/or tiring as they approach the line.
Chuck in opponents raising their games and squad players being given opportunities and our slips are more than understandable...

Best thing is they're doing that while we've already past the finishing line and are wearing the bacofoil cape and got the medal hanging round our necks!

What’s different - most teams have raised their games when they have played us all season. That will be the case in the final 3 matches too and, in fact, the results in those games will be of more importance to our opposing teams than to us.
Sit back, relax, and look forward to next season.
Before then, though, we will have the rumour mill active to give us something to speculate on.

However, the performance against Kidderminster, for example, was an embarrassment.
I find that inexcusable.

Cookie is just rolling the dice to find out who can cut it next year with some of the fringe. View it as an extended pre season which can only be to our advantage next year.

The majority of us realise that, however it doesn't stop the perennial moaners like Doug having their little hissy fits.

what is interesting too though is that each time a team plays us and "raises their game" to take points from us they can't then back it up the following game and some go a few games before they can find points again.

Grimes longest odds at 14-1…..
I’ll miss the under researched NL (but not for long!)
Best was Colclough between 7 and 10-1 for August-October 😂

With these playing last night and tomorrow night, I've had us to score over 3 at 7/1 based just on sheer workload for them

Wonder what their pitch will be like with 3 games in 5 days?

The issue will be if our players are up for the games against tired opponents or are already on their holidays
