I wasn't there today as I can't justify it
I was going next week but I can't stomach it sadly
I salute the fans that keep going to watch us away it's amazing
Fans react in different ways to our situation some get angry , upset some sit on the fence and some don't think there is a problem
I am pretty embarrassed by it all really now
Listening to radio robins today when the 2nd went in they sounded almost happy
But I can't blame them. There dedication in doing that week in week out is amazing and sometimes humour is all that is left
What worries me the most (and I said it last season ) relegation again is disastrous and we have no given right to bounce back
Our name means nothing
We need 11 men giving it all for 90 minutes who want to win and fight for each other
Have we hit rock bottom yet ?
No I don't think we have sadly as I can't see where we will get a win from at present
We need a leader who can attract hungry talent in
We need a budget and vision that supports that ambition (whatever the ambition is)
Then and only then will I start to feel proud again
Very good post.
As things stand, there is no way that we are going to start winning just because we will be in a lower league. I fear us sticking our noses up at teams that will see us as a big scalp, with the inevitable consequences.
Any notion of Doughty, Lawton and Heathcote being the management team for next season needs to be put to bed right now. The only reason for keeping them is to avoid yet another management change, but that is not reason enough.
We need a streetwise, hard nosed outsider in charge who doesnt give a toss about past reputations and isnt afraid to shake things up and get rid of people. The cobwebs, dead wood and stink of constant failure needs to be totally swept away.
The board itself cannot continue in its current form. The events of the last 12 months have made its position untenable. 3 league wins under under 4 managers since March, with the probability of 2 relegations on the bounce, is appalling.
This club needs re-energising, re-inventing and overhauling. People need their inspiration and enthusiasm back; pussyfooting around, making piecemeal decisions, is not going to do that.
Finally, if what has happened to us had happened at many other clubs there'd be banners out and protests outside the front entrance. I think the fans have been remarkably loyal and supportive throughout all this.
