I think that the main reason that a lot of Alty supporters are so frustrated at present is that we are dropping points that have been there for the taking:
Stafford Rangers (A): a silly defensive lapse gifts them an equaliser and then we have plenty of possession in the second half but no cutting edge whatsoever;
Aldershot Town (H): a hatful of chances created but not taken.....and what could have been a win - and should have at least been a draw - turns into another defeat;
Oxford United (H): the opposition were unimpressive but we fail to test their reserve keeper enough. A positive approach later in the second half brings a deserved equaliser but then yet more defensive chaos presents Oxford with two 'soft' goals.
It's glaringly obvious that we need to enhance our attacking options if we are ever to register a victory.
We read last week that GH had tried to recruit an unnamed striker on loan but that the proposed deal had fallen through due to financial restraints.
Seriously, is there not any way that the Board could help GH by releasing some funds to help him to bring in a much-needed forward?
Yes, I know the limited budget mantra off by heart but if we take no action, relegation will surely ensue.
The impression I get when talking to various Alty fans is that there is a perception (which may be incorrect) that the Board aren't really that concerned about whether we are relegated.
Yes, I'm sure that a new toilet block will look lovely.....but there will be far fewer people to use its facilities in the BS North!
