Sounds like we’re in for a thriller on Saturday! All you have to do is play with some conviction and you’ll beat us. Apart from Bradford we get easily the biggest gates in the division and our young players just can’t cope with the expectation and go into their shells (mainly because the crowd get on their backs if it’s still 0-0 after 5 minutes) and you can visibly see the confidence drain away from them. We won our last 2 away matches playing 4-5-1 so our fool of a manager decided to play it at home last night and we were just toothless in attack.
If you play it long and get at our back four you will win – end of story. As long as you can take care of our big no. 9 Marc Richards then you be able to cope with our pretty lacklustre attack. We’ve also got a couple of decent wingers in Edwards and Dodds, but they’re lightweight and can be easily shrugged off the ball. Our only hope is play 4-4-2 and really get at you, but we’ll need an early goal. If you score first then you won’t lose and will probably go on to grab more goals. I am dreading it!
Our 6 home games this season
0-2 Accrington
3-1 Bournemouth
0-2 Bradford
1-4 Macclesfield
1-2 Notts County
1-3 Exeter
The reality is that for the next 3 or 4 years, just to stay in the league is an achievement, we are a small club, with a small fan base and a small budget. Let's take 1 step at a time and give SM the time to consolidate the club in the league.

Thats just about hit the nail on the head. IF things detioriate even further and Sammy's sacked / resigns etc. ; WHO of any substance / track record is going to fancy a "small club,with a small fan base and a small budget". It's nonsense on stilts to call for Sammy's head -last season was an exceptional 1st season in the League , not just our final league position but the highs of beating North End and Wolves at their place - just over a year ago that was ! The first sniff of a struggle and what looks like a very nervy season and everything is all sh*te - sack this , chuck that.
Who on this board actually knows with certain that we have 'a small budget'?
