    No higher than 5 for anyone other than Watson who deserves a 7 for being left an Aunt Sally!

    Hope you’ve sent at least one copy to the club and the chairman Bucks!

    I’d hate to think your epistle is for our eyes only.

    After all Peter reads and replies to every email and letter personally, doesn’t he Alcy?

    Well what a waste of half a tank of petrol and eight hours of my life that was!

    At least the Iron fans turned up which is more than the team did.

    Powder puff defending (never seen a team have as many free headers against us). Zero creativity. No pace. Nothing!

    Completely pathetic, and Harrogate could fill their boots. Surprised it wasn’t 10-1.

    Can’t see any way back from here. We’re dead in the water unless drastic (and I mean drastic) measures are taken.

    Car, football club, house.

    If no one knows you want to sell your home then everyone will just walk past it.

    But as soon as the for sale boards go up!

    Unless of course you just sit around waiting for someone to ring the doorbell and ask you “do you want to sell your house”.

    That doesn’t answer the question.
    Give me a who?

    So you put your car up for sale on autotrader knowing exactly who’s going to buy it do you?

    As MK says, we didn’t know Swann was lurking in the reed-beds until Wharton decided to call it a day.

    Hounded out?

    You mean the club actually takes notice of what the fans on the terraces think?

    Roll on Saturday!

    I’m not the one lambasting the owner about anything and everything.

    I’m not the one advocating change every 5 minutes whether that be owner, manager or players.

    Really? You bloody well should be!

    What are you hoping to achieve?

    Getting the chairman to stop being denialist and admit that the club has serious problems.

    Who are you wanting Swann to sell the club to?

    Not Saudi Arabians! 😂

    Cox signed KDT after a trial.

    Was he found guilty of impersonating a footballer?

    Or in the words of Danny Kaye…

    “There once was an ugly duckling
    With feathers all stubby and brown
    And the other birds in so many words said,

    Get out, get out of town!

    Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out of town!”

    Swann has been interviewed twice in last 2 days saying he’d happily sell up if someone WITH money actually enquires.

    He might as well say he’ll jump into the Tardis, go back to 1963 and return with Barrie Thomas.

    We know neither will happen.

    In the meantime the club from the chairman down to the youth team coaches continue to plod along the same pathway. Having seemingly learnt nothing from previous mistakes.

    Something needs to change.

    It’s very much in the whatever or whoever box Awaywego.

    We definitely need a more proactive management team if we are to have any chance of staying in the league.

    But having heard Swann’s interview last night Cox is going nowhere for a while yet. And if he did, the usual format is to put someone like Tony McMahon in as caretaker to save another few quid.

    The pantomime season has started early at the SVS with Baron Hardup in charge. Our only hope is finding a Fairy Godmother, a genie’s lamp or some magic beans!

    A 2 point point gap now extrapolates to a 9 point gap by the end of the season.

    That’s why we need to kick-on NOW! Don’t leave it to the end of the season. Had we hung onto winning positions against Sutton and Carlisle we’d have had more points than all six of those teams I listed.

    But we didn’t! And whatever or whoever was the cause of that needs to be sorted out NOW!

    Not in five games time Mr Swann, NOW!

    Challenging indeed!

    Oldham have the same number of points as us. Walsall and Mansfield two more, and Bristol Rovers, Carlisle and Colchester three more.

    In theory all six are catchable. So really the points tally isn’t that important as long as we are better than at least two of them.

    Which, admittedly looks as unlikely as matching last year’s points total.
