It`s level 5 football and 4 days ago we were all wishing for a result and a decent draw on Monday morning which could have put us in a place only a dozen or so teams from our present level have ever been, now those players are not good enough. The dreadful defense :roll: is mainly those who let in 2 goals from 11 games following the events of Jan 5th last season, teams attack as a unit and defend as one, so if the attacking side of our game is acceptably they all take the credit, but if we don`t defend as well as some may wish dito........... or just blame any 2 from 4 :roll:ron manager wrote:I see what you mean, they have to realize though it comes with the territory, if its too hot in the kitchen get out an all that!!Trek wrote:I suspect gibston may have inside information. ;)sussexdiamond wrote:Gibston says players stuck in traffic.
Judging by some player's comments on twitter today, I suspect they are not used to having their performances analysed by fans when they played for other clubs. However, one of our players who I won't name was particularly critical of our team.
What players have got to learn is that one day they are loved the next they are hated (or considered rubbish) is the law of football, also I suppose on the other foot us fans need to step back abit and think about the crap that we spout
On the players plus side I have never seen a player yet to put on a AFC shirt and NOT give 100%, long may that continue, as soon as that stops happening theirs trouble at the mill.
Don`t think any of our players are paid enough to be Hated, though with the gates we get and our income we could do as some claim (PW for example) we are doing and splash the cash & almost assure promotion is possible. But from memory that`s not what this Club is about, guess it could be said if the players can`t stand the heat etc etc, or if supporters want to win the league this year follow Spalding :lol:
Last season the aim was promotion, it was achieved, this season a target of top 5 was openly talked about and don`t remember any loud cries of "that`s not good enough" I am 100% confident that will happen, and a good cup run was on the wish list, well we chucked 2, but of the others think we went further in one than anybody expected, and just checked and we are still in the Vase.
We may have to be careful what we wish for, as IMO the lads we have are a decent bunch and I would think at this level and for £not a lot a week, the is a level of how much "CRAP" as referred to, anyone is prepared to take, and as a Club we could without doubt spend a whole lot more for a whole lot less.
Of course option 2 is spend 100% in revenue glide through to level 3 them hit a brick wall, anyone follow the St Neots on going story
Oh and with above comes no saving and long term ground share at The D&D.
