Typical defensive mindset that will see us going nowhere ... other teams would attack and go for the jugular... the Aldershot commentary team couldn’t believe their luck. They knew that was a game for the taking for us . If we can’t do it under those circumstances we have no chance.

Yes, Dibble made a schoolboy clanger but with a decent manager we’d have won that 5-1 .It’s not his fault we lost that game.

Dibble is the fall guy for many. He made a mistake but has otherwise done a good job. The players must bear some responsibility but, ultimately, Keates is the root cause for most of our problems. He is too timid and lacks a tactical brain.
