Thanks Kev - but is a new manager needed?

Aye laddie!

So your talking about signing players and how we didn't sign the right ones. And your saying pre season is nothing to do with fitness. I think your missing slightly what pre season means. Pre season is working with the players you have. Gelling into a team and getting fit. Signing players is a different matter. If you sign some players that's great and something you do generally pre season or just after the season has started or in January. In your words - WHAT PART OF THAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND.

We missed out more by not being able to do business in May. That is where the likes of York and Barnet made hay. Most Clubs at our level and below contract players until the end of May. Meaning if they were out of contract , then they would not be paid in June. At the very least a level playing field for us this year.

My fitness point was only pertaining to our situation in particular. Of course fitness matters but you can be super fit and still not have the players needed to mount a challenge. Gelling into a team? The majority of our squad have been through so much together I think they are gelled.....then ungelled with the kensdale scenario. DO I HAVE TO FINISH THIS POST WITH CAPITAL LETTERS WHILE POINTING OUT THE BLEEDING OBVIOUS.
P.S. a few players have really fell off performance wise....annoyingly.

so in essence what you are saying that if for the next 2 seasons are the same as this and Maher is still here ,we may have another rat family in our midst and im not meaning COSU. bECAUSE I KNOW MYSELF IF I WAS THE MANAGER AND PROFESSED TO LOVE THIS CLUB AND THE RESULTS UNDER MY MANAGEMENT WERE SO BAD I WOULD RESIGN .

Hang on, are you really saying that you'd give up 2 years of paid employment if some people who only see part of your job thinks that someone else could do it slightly better?

That is a terrible take

Pick up 21 points in next 10 games, we will be right in the race for the play off.

Could well be us next season no pleasing everyone

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

we won't be doing so well in the form guide-should we lose or draw at Maidenhead on Sat.

Yes and apparently if we lose on Saturday we will be three points worse off than if we win.

That rather sounds like a statement of the obvious.

Before you get too gleeful at that prospect the game that would drop off would be the 2-2 v Forest Green, so a draw would keep us at 18 points from the last 10.

Deary me.

well we have a few more new faces in the door let’s see how results go in the back end of the season. Theres still a very mathematically possible route to the play offs this year as well as the chance to put a marker down for next season if we don’t quite do it.

Form is very good, squad has been strengthened and a real opportunity in February to end up in the play off race. Must be all that boring crab football we play.

i said if the results were not to my expectations yes i would resign. If you truly love the club as Maher has stated he does then you would only want the best for the club , if i as manager wasnt doing the job i thought i could do yes i would resign .

Recent form which includes four wins against four of the weakest sides in Ebbsfleet, Braintree, Fylde and Dagenham and two comprehensive losses to two of the strongest, York and Barnet, tells you why we are just midtable mediocrity with a style of football that reinforces that fact. Results over the season will confirm that.

Halifax 1 Fylde 2. That’s what form stats are all about.

I put it in capitals to hilight your rude comment of my post. Any one who has to say stuff like that has to have it said right back in capitals. Lee Blue quotes "Its not about fitness" and " of course it's about fitness" : -)

I've swerved this thread for a while, but, to try and have a balanced view I've caught up with it again. Sadly, it's pretty much the same stuff re-posted over and over again. That doesn't make the views posted wrong (there are no wrong views) but the repetition does not enhance the argument at all. And the poll shows very little sign of changing for the moment regardless of last Saturday's capitulation. I'm still backing Kev and co by the way for the avoidance of doubt.
