Which is it ? I'm sure the usual faces will be in here telling us all to believe and that were the best team in the league and have the best team we've had since we've been down here ect .
I've heard it all before , there is certainly going to be one team better than us in the play offs , maybe two or three.
To be honest I'm not even sure we have what it takes to get that far

We are yet again poor against part time teams at the bottom end of the table, Barnet, Cheltenham, Luton, Crawley and other promotion teams, rarely fail to beat these sorts of clubs unfortunately they are our Achilles heal


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

I don't particularly have a problem with Hurst. But my problem is that I'm not sure we can bring any better players in than the ones we've got.

The players at FGR and Cheltenham aren't better than ours....

Facts are we have a manager who gets us into the play offs but just can't see the job over the line the gimps had the same problem with big keef ( legend) .

A little bit of both I'd suggest

It's realistic to say we won't won the title. It's negative to suggest we're not good enough to make the play offs or that if we do we won't have a genuine chance of winning them.

Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I know lets take our most creative player off Arnold when we're struggling to make a pass to any of the strikers feet and leave that fast tricky skilfull winger monkhouse on who barely manages to win a header ??? Baffled 🤔 Nolan was probably the only one to come out of the game with any credit other than that it was poor all over the park today playoffs it is again just hope it's not the same disappointment as the last few seasons !!!!

We'll make the play-offs, no doubt in my eyes.

But why, in Feb are we resigning ourselves to the play-offs yet again. We shouldn't even be having this discussion. I don't think it's unrealistic or arrogant to suggest we should be winning this league now. Our expectations should have risen this season and it's inexcusable in my eyes that we're out of a title race so early. That to me is failing on your pre season targets. Obviously I don't care how we get there but having that lottery yet again after so long to get it right.

What's worse is it's the same mistakes every single season, we've not started well enough due to a shite early season rotation policy (again) we've not recruited well enough in January (again), we've still not got a suitable central midfielder (God knows how long we've waited for that).

It's all just the same, each season is a carbon copy of the next and to watch Barnet, Bristol Rovers and now Cheltenham get it right before us makes it worse.

Then it's either the grounds man, the ball boys or perhaps the way the half time oranges are cut.  One things for certain, it can't be the managers fault!
