Over the years our weakness has usually been against the teams far lower in the league. We seem to think they will roll over and give up ! This is the area that needs maximum attention.
The teams in the same area in the league and we we realise we have to compete. Do we want to go up again so quickly while our finances are still being addressed. If we do then the Div 2 league money is not to be sniffed at but we must not gamble recklessly.
Board discussions will be have been held, of that I am sure.

AI says this: ‘During the England vs. Romania 1998 World Cup match, Kevin Keegan’s infamous commentary line was “There’s only one team that’s going to win this game now”, said after Michael Owen scored an equalizer. He made the comment while co-commentating for ITV, but moments later, Romania scored a last-minute winner to win the game 2-1. The moment is often cited as a classic example of “tempting fate” in sports commentary.’

Don’t think fitness the issue. Just don’t understand why ‘poor passing’ has raised its head ! It should not happen.
Conversion of chances seems to becoming a problem. Are they taking that extra touch, trying to perfect the angle – just hit it !

Several plusses from last night. The return of Oli Rose, Danny W completing 90 minutes, undefeated away from home.
The huge plus – after fraught times with the inherited debt, superb board management in reducing this debt and still putting out a competitive team. Now having got back up 1 rung to the National League we sit 4th in the league.
I realise we may be slightly over achieving but with a couple of additions the aspirations of many could be fulfilled. Mr Butler showing he is settling into what is needed.

Would prefer next 2 rounds at home and wins.
Need heads switched on from 1st whistle though. No experiments with starting line up or formation.

He resigned in May 1960. Said he was a demanding trainer and expected players to be tired after a training session.

Hope he goes pretty much full strength tbh and takes it very seriously. We changed most of the team last season at Newcastle Town, and it was one of the most embarrassing performances I have ever witnessed.
Treat the opposition with contempt and how many times do you see it all go pear shaped.
As SST says treat with respect, there is serious money on offer now and could be vital in what the club is trying to achieve.1 user thanked author for this post.
Once Boyce got his 1st yellow they put more passes to players near him and looking for the 2nd yellow. This is something we rarely do and I do not understand why.
Get them on a yellow and pressure them immediately and as often as possible. Starts to make others look to cover for their team mate and makes them alter their shape.
