I'm backing him 110%! That means I could back track 10% and still be completely behind him! He is still learning as a manager - he's only in his 3rd season - if he were a player he'd now be what, 20 years old? I'm telling you - he'll get us up there - just back the players!!!!

So we're out of the cup - big financial loss - Chairmen getting frustrated etc etc etc... We were never going to win the cup - we have no right in getting to the 3rd round and a big club purely on the "size and depth" of our squad. I think Shez hit the nail on the head when he said some of the lads aren't pulling their weight - it is his job to make sure that doesn't happen though!! We're 5 points off the automatic place for promotion - I'd take being knocked out of the cup by a non-leaguer if it meant promotion!! Please give Shez a chance - he's still learning - I can see what he was trying to do with Greagan as holding anchor man in mid-field - has been p*ss poor at the back (lack of pace and switching off etc) but need his presence / experience on the pitch. So it didn't work, at least we're trying things. Byfield and Alessandra will be good partnership Saturday, it is a game we can and should win. Have looked at stats for all our defeats - apart from the Stockport match - on paper we've been the better team - more shots on / off goal, more corners, more possession. I know you don't win matches on paper but it shows we're doing the right things and if we keep believing the form will turn round! At least we're creating the chances - Cheltenham had x3 shots on goal the whole match!! That don't boad well for the future for them (IMO). We'll do it lads - just keep believing!

I personally think it's good that the chairmen are willing to put their dirty washing out to dry for us all to see. The point they are making is we have ambition and potential and just recently the attitude is lacking and must be sort ASAP. I'm sure Shez knows that the board have funded the squad this season for a reason and that as this is his 3rd year at the helm - it's now or never for him. He's said himself this season is massive for him. He's got my backing - playing decent football (remember season unble big Ron??). Only worries I have is how many chances we constantly miss vs the chances created. If we had a real decent centre foward we'd be top. If teams like Scunthorpe can get promoted - so can we and about time too!! X14 seasons in the 3rd tier has been painfull!!
