Of our playoff rivals which teams do you think have the guile to go up and why? 

Bromley, for sure. They’ll best whoever they have to play at their community complex and then I think they have the players to see them over the line at Wembley.

I wouldn’t fancy playing at Altrincham either.

I also think Rochdale would beat us too which is embarrassing because they have about 9 players fit, but they’re a team that are up for the fight and we don’t have that. 

Say we did get to Wembley… I think the occasion would be far too overwhelming for the players. They struggle when OAPs get restless in the main stand, never mind a passionate end of Wembley.

What are you talking about? We’ve got 23 points from 12 league games under Mellon. 

I have seen nothing from this team to suggest it has the guile to go up via the playoffs.

I have been banging on about it for ages but this set of chancers are mentally weak as piss. 

It's going to take a long time to instill any sort of winning culture at this club and it will take longer than any other place because of how utterly turgid we have been for the last 30+ years.

I genuinely have no idea when we'll go back up and I'm not sure it's going to happen anytime soon. 

That result is on Mellon. 

Errrrr.. 

Mentally weak as piss. I genuinely have no idea what’s wrong with them.

We might make it into the play offs but we’re getting dumped straight out after the first game. 
 

A shameful day for all concerned. 

That first goal. Lol.

They should have scored 4 or 5 if I'm honest.

 

Ehhh, nah. They were worthy of at least a goal, but they huffed and puffed and hammered us on the flanks.

Strange pitch... the way Norwood went to hit his first chance he kind of weirdly kicked the turf that wouldn't have happened on grass. 

Solid 3 points. So many times have I seen us over the years huff and puff and then get rolled over by an opposition who nicked a goal. It was those sides that I normally saw make it to the playoffs as well.

However, if we want to *win* the playoffs then, yes, improvement is needed. I'm sure some new signings will help the cause.

I believe a guy from an Australian team passed away yesterday. It's not surprising it's a tough task.

Not having that the OL11 FC have beaten us to a target, surely? 

Good but they need to follow it up at BP.

Grounds for gross misconduct? Could turf him and get a wage off the books.

Writing was on the wall when you could see the tweets Norwood has liked.

I reckon the squad will have been furious with Reid for posting the video and this course of action demonstrates that Mellon is not one to be messed with.

I despise this squad.

EDIT -

Not worth arguing with room temperature IQ individuals.

Poster I am dealing with would applaud North Korea for streamlining politics.

Have to agree after watching that. Why the fuck did Sheron sit in rather than press. Shite. 
Sutton needs dropping as a RWB. We need a CM. 

I just think mentally and psychologically we’re fucked as a club.

Fans groan at not being full throttle against bin men up and down the land, fine.. but these are just average division 5 lads. They panic, shit themselves and fuck up. 

Bring in another player from other amateur institutions such as Altrincham or Gateshead, they too will crumble.

They’re not mentally fit to do it at Boundary Park. They can’t do it at Boundary Park.

Just cold hard facts. We’re getting schooled by the mighty footballing institution that is Gateshead at home.

They don’t have it in them. I don’t see much point in attending many more fixtures for this season.

This team, at present, just do not have the mental resolve to stage a successful play-off campaign. They crumbled at BP to *Ebbsfleet United*  after the home faithful started to get agitated.

We would no doubt lose the game at BP before ever making it to Wembley.

Mellon looks to be the right man to finally achieve something at this football club in the 21st century.

Finish strongly and aim for the title next year methinks. 

V good.

You’re in danger of @GKing521 levels of pessimism!

A statement of truth isn’t one of opinion. 
 

Thanks.

Last London based games I did were Bromley, Maidenhead and Southend, I am still recovering. 
 

Will let you know the next one I do. 

Good man.

Sounds like projection to me. 

 

If you’re London based DM me. Let’s do the next Southern one together and then you can hear my points in person.

First pints are on me btw!
