After Aldershot (A) VNL - 21/09/2019 (0-1)
Now we are officially in a relegation dogfight! The strategy is failing. What strategy? I believe the strategy is "do not lose", a favourite of Flynn and Darlington. It worked under Dean Keates - record number of draws and playoff bound when he left. It's not working now and I suspect a conflict between Hughes and Darlington/Flynn as Hughes wants to win.
We have a squad which, on paper, should be tearing up this league and the management team needs a shake up. I would keep Hughes but replace both Darlington and Flynn with an attack minded coach (which means he can't come from Darlington's Welsh Horror Coaching School) with a bit of experience and a bit of nouse.
A failure to win at Fylde will have the hounds baying all around the Racecourse next Saturday giving us another "Gateshead" result.
I've lost my rose tinted glasses!
