A draw was the very least we should've expected today. Just because they played slightly better than they did in the last four doesn't make it acceptable. Who is talking about "acceptable"? Nobody as far as I can see. What the fuck do you want because whatever it is, it ain't going to happen overnight, is it? I'm not happy, you're not happy..practically all of us are not happy.

Why are people talking this shite up? Talking what shite? Surely a draw with half a dozen newish faces in a game away from BP that we took to the opposition and could/should of won is an improvement, or are we just at the stage now where we knock everything regardless of what is really happening?.

I am not "talking this shite up" I am trying...really, really fucking hard...to look for some green shoots of recovery. If you don't want to, then fair enough, but don't you ever fucking well talk-up John Sheridan to me. It wasn't particularly aimed at you but people saying we would have lost that a few weeks ago is clutching at straws. I'd love some green shoots but really I can't see any and i'm not going to be excited by a nil nil draw against a team with the worst goal difference in the league who haven't won a home game since August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say it was a must not lose game but anyone who thought we weren't in a relegation scrap surely knows it now. It's not good enough on any level, this was the easiest game we have for a while on paper, if we don't pick up a few wins soon we will be cut adrift. How long are we prepared to wait for Unsworth to come good? People think it's inevitable he will but it's literally blind faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need wins. It won't happen overnight. But it's been two and a half months now. And we're being told not to whinge because we only drew against Maidstone after winning one out of the previous 11.

I just think it’s really hard to judge today. Were we better or was the oppo a drop off in standard. We will see in a fortnight. For me there’s no real positives, they played better, we still didn’t win. When we play a team outside the bottom 4 will that performance win us games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't won for months and we are not cut adrift, lets see how they get on at Solihull in a couple of weeks, I suspect we will be competitive at least, sounds like we at least have a midfield now which is what many of us have been crying out for, that in itself should improve us.

Hope you are right but yes we could be cut adrift and by that i mean 5 or 6pts from safety which when you can't win a game is big. 3 weeks ago we were above Halifax and people were talking about putting a run together to make top half, we are now 8pts behind Halifax. If you have won 1 in 12 you soon lose touch on teams. Let's stop burying our heads in the sand because we've had a takeover, on the field we are in serious trouble.

Ritchierich Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 PeteG Seriously mate, go to bed and sleep off your anger, things really aren’t that bad! The club was a wreck but is now starting to be rebuilt The team played much, much better today although Maidstone were poor so I am not assuming this is proof of a total transformation….let’s see how we get on in the next couple of games but honestly, we are doing what every big league club that comes down to the NL seems to do…finding our feet and giving a new manager a chance to build a winning team Keep the faith was never more apt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littlemoor Lad Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Enough chances to win 3 games there, Heartening to see them playing more as a unit but as we know, that'll change as each and every loan player is returned, we could be back to square one and that's dangerous, given our position.

Pidge Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 At least from those highlights it looks like we didn’t go to this away game and just try not to lose. That has to be a good sign along with our first game where we were the better side. It leaves me wanting the next game to come quick so we can see if we get another good performance with hopefully a chance or 2 taken to give us a win. I’m now used to that feeling recently!

From the highlights looks like a striker low on scoring confidence, hitting it as hard as he can and hoping it goes in rather than picking a spot. Getting in the right places so hopefully can turn a corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No subs used. I reckon there will be a couple more players in by the time the next match comes around and Unsworth will be on his way to replacing practically the whole starting eleven. I watched the highlights clip, which is nowhere near enough to gauge a performance, only that it looked better than any of the recent highlight clips. Unsworth appeared to be more relaxed and happier with the performance, in his interview. I am conflicted between wanting another game quickly and having the break to allow Unsworth a little time to get more out of them. I suppose there is no substitute for an actual competitive match but meh, we are now in limbo-land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible he will get better and from the little glimpse I saw, he needs someone alongside him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
