    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.

    It's an awful pitch and one that's "maintained" by the council. Surprised someone hasn't stepped in yet to make them fulfil their fixtures elsewhere as is the case at lower levels. Stick some astro down at the Piece Hall and let's have at it.

    Lol - but seriously what is the solution?

    How many home games do they now need to fit in before the end of the season?

    I don’t think they’re ignoring him, I think they’re just panicking in certain circumstances. We either have no plan, so Mellon is just not actively doing anything at all in terms of coaching or tactics. Or there is a plan but they aren’t carrying it out on a consistent basis. Which is the most likely?

     

    Personally I think the second. In our best performances we’ve employed a mixture of direct and short passing. Eg Garner goal at Maidenhead (direct) and the second goal at Eastleigh (passing move). To me that makes sense as the sort of football you’d expect from a manager like Mellon. But when it goes to shit it is just aimless hoofs. Why do they do it? Who knows but I don’t believe it’s part of a deliberately set out plan. In my opinion it’s the pressure and weight of expectation that they’re struggling to deal with. I owe an apology of sorts to @GKing521 here because I now do think it is an element of mental fragility. I don’t agree with him that the club has a losing mentality permeating through it, but I think some players are struggling with pressure. 
     

    That might actually only take a few squad changes to fix. So we might not be as far off success as it currently looks.

    Mellon out? It's a serious question that needs to be raised. It is totally and utterly inexcusable what has happened today. They've let the fans, the chairman, and the town down.
     

    We've just been rolled by a dog and duck outfit.

    You can forget Wembley.
