    Hey everyone,

     

    Just making sure everyone gets tickets for the Exeter City match on Dec. 12th! Amber and I are so excited to see you all there.

     

    Please come! And meet us for a drink before the game at The White Hart/The Grey Mare. :drinking:

     

    And we'll be in Oldham from Dec. 10-12 so if there's anywhere else you'll be, please tell us. We will gladly crash weddings, milk your cow, and babysit your puppies.

     

    Sara & Amber xx

    Now don't get me wrong, I love my club...

    The total number of goals in our league games is 29 (13 scored, 16 against). By far the lowest in our league.

    Our attendances are amongst the lowest in our league and have been dropping in recent years.

    The atmosphere at games has been described by our fans and others as awful (see Hudds cartoon match report) and we are nowhere near filling our ground.

    We are at a standstill in terms of progressing as a club until things are sorted with the new stadium, at least a couple of years away.

    Although not being awash with cash, we are not seriously financially unstable.

    We are not in urgent danger of relegation (yet) but are nowhere near challenging the top six.

    The squad is small but full of hard-working, honest and seemingly decent characters...but how many of our players would anyone call inspiring?

    This is how our last 3 games have been decided:

    Hudds - a speculative free kick badly dealt with by our 'keeper. But barring that set-piece not many incidents in the game.

    Leeds - an excellent but hopeful long range shot and a goal on the break with the team committed up the pitch. Not much happened apart from that.

    Today - listened to most of it, lost due to by the sounds it a harsh penalty. Again barring that not much happened.

    In all three games, we've created next to nothing.

    I'm happy with our defence being boring and, looking at the games above, they've not been making many mistakes and have been mostly unlucky. But if we continue to be so poor going forward the defence will be put under so much pressure in the future that they are sure to make more mistakes.

     

    The only quick fix I can think of is by getting in an exciting striker who can jolt this place back into life with consistency, pace and finishing. Unfortunately I think we would struggle to afford this kind of player. However, I really think we should push the boat out if we can find this striker as imo it is the difference between us being described as hard to beat and well...boring.

    Still, can't wait for the Exeter game! :scarf001:
