But we are still pre takeover and there has been no suggestion that the (hopefully) incoming owners would fund a big budget increase before or after. We were deservedly relegated last season and I think it's more or less accepted fact that the top half of the national league is at least as good as the bottom half of L2. If there was money I’m sure it would be being used or at least have players training before signing. We have none of that just dross on trial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it up as a bad job after all if we can't be optimistic the week new owners are due in then when can we be? We are not asking for a Quincy Menig on 10k a week but a couple of competent footballers who can pass a ball 10 yards would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonboy Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Think we need a good winning performance in either of our next 2 friendlie tomorrow and Saturday. I can't remember a run of results as bad as this although I'm sure there has been one recently....L8 D2 out of 10 I think and we need a confidence boost before Torquay. I was at Stevenage which was our last win and it seems a fucking age ago. Maybe if we get an announcement tomorrow it will perk everyone up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if we get an announcement tomorrow it will perk everyone up a bit We didn't win a single friendly in the Dowie play off season and whilst I don't recall the results of Sheridans pre season in 2006/07 we started the league horrendously with Maheta Malongo up front and made the play offs People need to get a grip *edit- Malongo may have been the season after Edited July 25, 2022 by Chaddyexile84 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you prefer we go to Torquay having not won in 12/13 games then?? And there is a world of difference from the Dowie days and pre season 2006 than where we are today! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still some time left but 2 draws and 8 defeats from the last 10 games Shez has stood on the touchline is hardly inspiring, now before everyone accuses me of overreacting I'm not suggesting a change in manager but if we are going to turn this around something needs to change and sharpish.

We are mid take over, the club can't sign anyone We have 2 weeks to go Jesus you were virtually spunking over promotion a few weeks ago almost like Sinnott asking us to put bets on The first team squad looks absolutely awful I'm just not losing my head over some pointless results, pre take over Let's just see what the next 2 weeks offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
