At least last season Grimsby and Southend made a fight of it with us having a run like this season, but we seem to have thrown the towel in, the last few seasons have been a nightmare.

I said last week Cliff I can’t see us catching the team presently above us on their present points, we can’t fluke a result it is demoralising, feel sorry for those going away because we seem to lose every game but we don’t score any either yet the stats don’t give the impression of the score.

Sutton have had 3 shots on target and they have all gone in, Taft is illness but don’t know about the others Cass.

also last night there was a few glimpses that Nuttall was improving and looked a bit fitter.

110% better than Saturday, to me I think if we give it a good go even if we fail it will still be better than losing every game, like Les says Millen is starting to look a decent player, felt sorry for Thompson because he was having his best game and was impressed with the whole defence tonight, we attacked plenty but their defenders played really well, a lot of positives tonight after that second half crap on Saturday.
Better team tonight but they had three good chances, one was good defending by Millen, Watson got a touch onto the bar and bodies were put on the line for the other, but I thought we played well and that is the main thing until the end of the season, I didn’t know what the attendance was but there was more there than I thought would turn up.

And what can get worse NLI, this is far worse than most of the 70s and 80s

it is no wonder the leading scorer only has 2 or 3 when in the second half we never made the goalkeeper make any save and we didn’t even force a corner, but when you are drawing 1-1 and needing 3 points and you make no effort to try to win the game it gives poor value to the fans and makes you wonder if you either want to come back or even renew your season ticket, Pike showed a bit of promise on his debut but now looks like he wants to go back to Shrewsbury, Nuttall yesterday stood little chance because there wasn’t any attacking intent when he came on, all that went when Burns came off.

I think we are already down, can’t see us getting the points to catch the current team above us at the present time.

It is alright blaming the embargo, but seeing most clubs in our division are technically smaller than us they got by without taking the loan, a very costly exercise from very rich owners.

Worst second half performance I have seen for a long while, we didn’t either have a shot at goal we didn’t even try to have a shot at goal, when we got into their half we gave it away or went backwards often to Watson, you don’t score goals if you don’t attempt to, I can accept relegation but the second half today was totally unacceptable, to think we beat Walsall with 10 men and today they won at the top team, we don’t seem capable of getting a shock victory, certainly a contrast to the first half when we played reasonably well.

You got what you wanted though Mick 4 years ago when swanny let Alexander go, if only!. Oh what lots would give for a team that plays boring football (supposedly) but keeps getting points.
I didn’t want Alexander gone, I wanted to see the football played under him and Lucketti not the boring negative football played under him and McDonald that took us from top of the league down to 5th and we weren’t winning games with probably one of the strongest squads in the division and he started playing players out of position and leaving quality full backs on the bench, now I see McDonalds just seen his latest manager get the boot.

Teams that come back into the League from the National League come back stronger, I am sure we will from National League North in a few years time

Nearly every game follows the same path, as soon as we concede its then you may as well go home or stop looking because it is either boom boom boom we concede more or we don’t get back into the game, certainly it was a awful throw in from Matheson for the first but they got luck we wouldn’t get for the second, the penalty I haven’t seen yet but we don’t seem to be able to get a shock result anywhere, it is going to be a massive achievement to stay up so we may as well just hope we can end the season on some sort of high and we can get a squad to give us some hope next season, but I won’t hold my breath on that but I’m afraid to say it all goes down to mismanagement over the last four years and I hope our owner will be very proud from going from extent to the other.

I don’t think the way White charged into Pugh he had chance to control how he was going to land on to White, White was out of control with the challenge and got away with it and I think the club are thinking that by comments from Simon Elliott and Hill.
And regarding Watson I think it was too close to him to be given handball and seeing it on the night and numerous times on video it is difficult to see whether it hit him on his arm or shoulder but seeing he gave us nothing else so let’s take that one because they got away with two.1 user thanked author for this post.
it was straight in front of us and we couldn’t believe it, even if Pugh left his foot in he couldn’t get out of the way of it and he wasn’t the one diving in.

alcazar try to work out how many games it is since anyone got sent off against us, it must be league record I will tell you that.
and how many times we have got injury time winners over the last eight seasons that will occupy your time, I will give you a clue you only need one hand.
so basically we have broke all kinds of records in football over the years.2 users thanked author for this post.
I didn’t think we played badly first half, but after Sinclair went off we got brushed aside, but though they pushed us back they scored with their only effort on target, though we only had one and the keeper made a good save.
Barton we have lost the last seven and we won the game before at Oldham not 16 without a win, but it is worrying and just hope the Chairman who has got us in this mess doesn’t come out with stupid remarks like the last 2 years of we will have the lowest budget in the National League, it was no wonder the club is in such a mess.2 users thanked author for this post.
19 and stuck, one shot on target for each team yet they scored theirs while their keeper made a good for ours, like usual give as good as we get first half and get overrun the more the second half goes on, also I think the game changed when Nuttall put that effort over the bar, like normal we can’t get shots on target and the substitutions didn’t improve the performance either.

I don’t care what they have done at other clubs, all I care about is what they do here, and they certainly can’t be any worse than we have already got or recently had, league position as prime example, all I hope is even if we are relegated and certainly deserve it is that we have a more exciting last 18 games both performance wise and results wise and the missing fans who are coming back tomorrow want to return for the rest of the season, and if we go down next season we get a squad capable of coming straight back up rather than the Chairman alienating fans again by saying we are going to have the lowest budget in the National League.
