That wasn’t an easy watch, the only ones who looked like they tried were Snedker, Miguel and Conor Tee.

The new manager, whoever that is, needs to analyse the whole squad, because a lot of those players aren’t good enough.

A disappointment attendance, was hoping we’d get a few more through the gate after the departure of the previous manager, but that sadly wasn’t the case. Not very hopeful for Tuesday night, I fear we’ll get ripped a new one by Tamworth.

I think anyone watching the post match interview who wasn't at the game will think we were unlucky, that wasn't the case we just weren't good enough, nothing to do with being unlucky. Sneaker must be having nightmares about games, shots coming at him from all angles, defenders all over the place,and he maybe the best keeper in this league but he is not a magician. Please let's have an honest appraisal of the game and what is being done to try and improve things.

I said 2 weeks ago that the guy saying loads of people are staying away because Maxwell is manager was exaggerating and it was less than 10 fans.

Attendances are down because the fans have never had to experience being in a consistent scrap like this, it was always been onwards and upwards with the odd blip, there's no appeal to going to a game that you know you are not going to win and none of the players that you have grown to like and love during the good times are here, those players fought for the club and the fans would have rallied to get behind them right now.

Some fans who are staying away are probably sceptical that we have seen new board members incoming but some of the old ones still remain, it may be hard to trust them again as they also played their part in the club going from being on a high and full of optimism to rock bottom in less than a year.
  • Play it out from the back.
  • 1 up front.
  • Man gets one good result via a new manager bounce and thinks he's Pep Guardiola.

So the first time in ages I came away quite hopeful for our football club.
On the pitch, this team will be decent in 3 years time but at the moment it’s a struggle, although I did feel there was an equaliser in it for us, until they got a second.
Off the pitch, having talked to 4 of the new board today I felt that the club were in sage hands in the long term, there’s lots to do, but they’ve very quickly identified the priorities and I like the way they are going about their business, I think they all deserve our support to help in every way we can.

We may well be down but if we can get the appointment right and bring some excitement back to the club next season having set ourselves up this season with everyone pushing in the right direction I think the future looks bright

The results from our 1st team are currently a secondary priority to ensuring our club survives. It will take a lot of work, but I truly believe we have the board to turn it around. Relegation will not end us, but we must be in a stable financial position to have a right good go at bouncing straight back, with the right manager in place. I say to the board take your time and get the right person. It will take time for the new management to put a new team together to be proud of and we must accept that it will most likely involve relegation this season.
So what? This is our club, get involved in saving it . Get behind your club.

I thought communication was supposed to be improving. Yet no mention of why two of our best players were on the bench yesterday. What's happened to Hicks? Or Mananga or Worrell Gregg?
