As for saving us from relegation I understand the comments were 'tongue in cheek'. However it may well need divine intervention to save us from that fate. I believe we just about have good enough players to avoid the drop but the training/coaching/ selection/game plan/game management is, emphatically, not.

I am not a fan of changing managers during the season and especially at this stage but we need a leader with the confidence and ability to inspire players to go out and play to win. We are no where near safe and unless a drastic change in attitude and belief is forthcoming I reluctantly fear the worst.

Your point about interaction of people in open and closed environments is a good one . You are more likely to catch your death of cold at Wrexham matches than coronavirus. Speaking a someone who was frozen stiff at Yeovil a week last Saturday.
I just cannot see this country and big business allowing a complete lock down of society if the situation worsens. In China they have the fear factor of authority which grew up in Communism to prevent social unrest. Can you honestly see our police and armed forces stopping all the toe rags and low life from looting and stealing if our high streets suddenly become empty . People will still stay in hotels, use lifts, and ignore pleas for self isolation. Lets hope it does not get too bad .

With 8 matches to go we were well on the way to promotion until wossisname left and we managed to avoid going up. I wonder if with 8 matches to go this time, he'll provide the impetus again, only in the opposite direction... so that we avoid going down...

Good thinking here FSS - Mrs B. and I were in China last October - it is a country of massive contrasts and we have to remember that we were only shown what they wanted us to see.
The people do what they are told - yes, to an extent because they are too scared to oppose the government but also because millions of inhabitants are having a far, far better life than than even 30/40 years ago.

Speaking to a nurse working in Aberystwyth Hospital yesterday, she said people have come into the hospital to steal hand gels and have even pulled them off the walls. You are quite right about our toe rags FSS -they have already started.

Amazing that it should happen at Aberystwyth Hospital - but should we be surprised? Crime was at its height during the 2nd WW.

If it gets much worse in the Uk, the folks to be very careful are those who receive a flu jab because of their chronic illness, as opposed to their age. These are the group with the greatest risk factors and these people should hang low for the next 6/8 weeks. For everyone else, who are in reasonable nick, it’s life as normal. That’s how I see it.
Ps. Found out today that Costco have run out of toilet roll. It’s flu, not dysentary.

I can only agree with you. Although no fan of Boris and his bunch I do think the official approach from them is just about right for now. The main fault as ever rests with our blessed media who cannot resist building it all up into an immediate disaster. You can just imagine all these little discussions taking place all across the country about the shortage of toilet rolls. A bit like Les Dawson and his sidekick dressed up as women with curlers in their hair. No real understanding of what is happening but quite prepared to act like lemmings and rush off to the local supermarket to make it all worse.
