Just about to make the trip back. 800 odd miles traveled in a week that has shown that results against Aldershot, Dorking and Gateshead were perhaps not the late arrival to the party that we thought they were.
I’m trying to be as positive as possible, here. We have some great players at the club and in fairness, we dominated the first half an hour at Gateshead and first half at Torquay. You can see how much of a threat we can carry when we’re on it and we still have big players to come back into the starting XI.
But this lack of maturity, concentration, confidence, intelligence, experience - however you want to term it, it is going to cost us our place in this league if we don’t get realistic about the situation quickly. We can either carry on waiting for this young squad to grow up a bit or we can bring in some much needed help.
A word on James Jones, who I can see is turning into the latest scapegoat for fans who always seem to need one to target. He played well yesterday, as he did at Gateshead. May sound daft when we’ve conceded four in a half but everything he had to deal with, he did. I think the problem is in midfield. Josh Lundstram can’t do it all on his own.
