- most of the teams in the top 7 will fall way by the end of the season
- there are 38 games and 114 points yet to play for

That is not to say I'm a blind happy Clapper and I could certainly make a case for replacing Hughes now with someone more experienced but I post this for balance.

If you dont agree fine but please try and keep this thread at least free of bile and hatred. Tin hat located...
If you want balance list the failures of the last 6 years of Pete Jones’, John Mills’ and Spincer Harris’ ownership. Find the finishing league positions, the number of managers employed and the number of players we have gone through. The result will be a very sorry tale of failure and a future which only only holds a drop downwards. It will be particularly unpleasant when we exchange places with Chester.
