The recent collapse has been as depressing as unexpected given where we were just a few weeks ago. I'm sure we were all excited as it really looked like we had a shot at promotion to the FL , which now appears to be quickly fading away. If some supporters are thinking/hoping for a knee jerk reaction from the chairman and his board think again , it just isn't going to happen and rightly so. Look at the bigger picture , 6 seasons ago we were in freefall and we started the NPL season with a 3-0 home defeat by Stafford . Think about that and compare it to now as we are regarded by our rivals as one of the most respected and outstanding teams in the NL . That's due to the brilliant management team we are lucky to have at the helm . Of course they make mistakes , all managers do at every level and despite the awful run we will probably still finish in the top ten . That's progress in a league where most clubs have equal ambitions to ours and there are very few 'easy' games ( Fylde , Maidenhead , Dorking etc). We may or may not reach the 'promised land' with Phil and Neil but they have already achieved enough to merit our FULL support.
