Maybe the focus needs to be on defence and not losing, trying to snatch a win whenever possible. Its poor to watch and we will lose fans but surely preferable to ending up in National League North.
We have been beaten by some very average sides already and it will probably happen again - maybe it is time to fight a rear guard action?

Spot on - we do not have a divine right to be promoted but many believe we do based on the size of our fanbase and history.
But I don't believe we have been beaten by 'very average sides' - our recent defeats have come against clubs in really good form - not forgetting that the current league leaders who have only dropped 5 points all season lost 3 of them against us and we only had 10 men.
What's the answer ? stick or twist ? how much do we change ? the whole team, the manager, the board - or persevere and as in many walks of life try to put what is wrong right again - up until Hartlepool were thins so bad ? and look at their form since they beat us - things can change very quickly for the better or worse.
