I suspect the process was so convoluted it didn't leave any time for action. DF over complicated everything all style and no substance. By the time we have analysed all the stats and held meetings to identify who we want someone else has already signed them.

Lets face facts he has the odd decent touch plays the occasional flashy diagonal pass and if his body wasn't made of tissue paper he might have been a good player but in reality he is an injury prone striker with no pace and no strength who doesn't score enough goals. Two of our midfield players have outscored him this season and another one has equalled his total. He has only got into double figures once in his entire career and that was two seasons ago at a lower level. I am sorry but I don't get why people think we are more of a threat when he plays he isn't much of a threat full stop and his record proves that. If we signed a new striker with his stats people would be going mental. We should have let him go last season 8 goals in two seasons at this level is a joke and he is part of the reason why we are in the bottom four.

Im not sure of the contract situations on some of these I'm pretty sure a couple of them are still going to be under contract but personally I would be looking to get Jones, Massey, Clark, wilson, grant, loft and lowe out of the door and I suspect if we go down we will lose garrity and chislett. Willo may be controversial but he doesn't score enough goals for me and we need to nail the striker positions next season and ideally thats strikers with pace and strength and wilson has neither. Loft is working hard and putting himself about but he has no composure in front of goal which isn't ideal for a striker. Possibly down to confidence but I haven't seen enough to want to keep him so if someone enquired about him I would snatch their hand off.

I would settle for a draw whilst understanding that a draw isn't enough. I am still pretty much convinced that we will go down I just want us to continue our present form and go down fighting. If we win I would have to start believing and that's normally when things go <ovf censored> up 😄

Bristol weren't allowed to be on it today but that was not their doing it was down to our work rate DM has got the players set up right from front to back and fighting for every ball Brizzle didn't stand a chance. Defenders at this level will always make mistakes if you put them under pressure, this is division three after all, too many times this season we haven't done that but now we are forcing defenders into errors instead of allowing other teams to dominate us and force errors out of us. I give DM a lot of credit for instilling belief into players who had clearly given up. Yes we have tougher challenges to come but don't give other teams credit for our wins we earned that result ourselves, nothing Bristol could do about it on the day.

I don't think he had any choice but to leave. He oversaw a relegation battle last season and we are currently adrift one place off the bottom this season. His recruitment team, his manager, his plan, his failure. Its called taking responsibility just a shame it took so long.

I have to admit that I'm really struggling to even listen to this on the radio. I have tried to start every game feeling positive, telling myself that this might be the game we turn it round and I dont want to miss it etc etc but the last 4/5 games I just feel like the players have completely given up so it seems pointless me bothering. Ive watched virtually every game this season but honestly I think Im done with it until next season I'm not even seeing the tunnel never mind the light at the end of it.

I wouldn't call them the worst but then again I wouldn't say they were any better than the worst. I certainly wouldn't back them to beat the worst. In fact I wouldn't confidently back them to beat our women's team the women would probably bully them. I do think this is the weakest bunch of players I have ever seen and my first season was 1972. Sang couldn't get the ball off my 82 year old mother. There is no fight in any of them just short periods where one or two have a go for five minutes but then they give up. There is some level of technical ability in some of these players but they allow teams to dominate them so they don't get the chance to play. You have to win the ball before you can do anything with it.

He is always the same I just don't get what people see in calamity jones.

AC must have hidden him in the same place he used to hide Thomas and DM hasn't found him yet 😁

I would hope we give a new formation a bit longer than one game before we give up on it.

I hadn't heard that, if true I can't imagine why.

4-2-3-1 Happy with that nice to see Garrity back on the bench, did I dream it or did AC say that Plant was back training on the grass in one of his last interviews? If so he should be close. I don't know how well they will take to it with not having long to implement a formation change but I hope he persists with it because going forwards I think it will get us more points than sticking with a wing back system that hasn't worked all season.
