It is very frustrating we cannot take advantage of our points tally, but I would be more concerned if we were Aldershot or Chesterfield. Ultimately, it all boils down to results, with the odd 5-1 (deserved) victory to keep morale high.

Let’s see where we are come February before we throw the baby out with the bath water.

PS CD is part-time. The responsibility lies with the Board for appointing the right manager - the movement of Keates and Ricketts into the FL suggests they were good but imperfect appointments - and the allocation of sufficient funds. It’s then up to GB to spend it wisely. Jury is out at the moment, but GB needs to stop the rot and get us winning again.
Ah right so its all the players fault. You're generalising about many, many players we've had here recently many of whom we couldn't get a tune out of but other clubs do. Why is that?

Saying we just need better players is so simplistic.
We sign players who have had success in this league with other clubs, they come here and bang they just crumble.
So its either poor scouting and recruitment or we just don't have the manager or coaching staff to get the best out of them.

We haven't had consistent performances and goals from a striker for example since Moult left and we even under used him, leaving him out of the side for absolute dross.
How long will this be swept under the carpet for?
