At the moment the only thing Mr Hilton/White/Anderson or whoever is guilty of is throwing everything he had at trying to keep the club in the NL. It didn’t work, but as many on here have said we were as good as down when he took over from Swann.
Or were we?
A month ago Gateshead were just one point better off than us (34 & 33pts) and both teams were in the bottom four.
They haven’t lost since, and their impressive 5-2 away win at Eastleigh the other night was their sixth victory on the bounce.
They are now up to fourteenth having amassed 52pts and certain of playing NL football again next season. In the same period of time we have gained just one point from the 0-0 at York!
Some difference eh? Our management and coaching staff have had the same opportunities to do what the Heed have, but haven’t come close.
Now that’s worrying. Not because we failed to avoid the drop, but the pitiful nature of the way we accepted it.
Not overly confident that the rot will stop next season. But I am the eternal pessimist!
