Sean it's an excellent point. A few wins and we're right in the mix again. I think the concern is the style of play and where a good run is going to come from. The leaders and battlers have gone from the side - Arts and Bents. There is no consistency on tactics or selection. And finally other than Baz and Andy Parrish there's no one who you can say are consistently playing well. Finally, and it has to be said, like the last two seasons, I've got serious concerns over some of Sammy's signings, some of whom appear done in indecent haste rather than careful long-term planning.
Like the majority 'trust in Sammy' and all that, progress every year but you can understand the concerns, particularly when it's clear with players Capaldi and Shuker we're spending big.

It's not a case of underestimating anyone, but if we can't beat Barnet at home, who do you think we can beat?

Let Sammy and Mark sort it and they will, that you can be sure of

Hasn't been in the 18 squad for a couple of games now, never mind the 11. It is like he has disappeared. There must be a reason he does not even train with the lads before the game anymore.

Again, as to form, he has had "clear the air talks", which have resulted with 3 time man of the match winner being benched (BTW has anyone noticed how his boots match the subs bibs?).
Sammy has his plus points but at this moment in time watching that display today - with or without the injuries - his negative points are very, very obvious for all to see (apart from those who dont want to take there head out of his arse)
I enjoyed the match today cos i was stood with my mates, had a pint and a natter, taking the piss out of each other for the full 90 mins. The atmosphere built up and the last 15 mins was good, not great or poor but good, however that was when we were papering over cracks.
I'll go Tuesday and cheer us on and get behind the team as I do every game, doesn't mean I'm not a bit disillusioned right now.

Well i saw him today at the ground
not selected
not sure dont think hes ill or injured
up to him to get his place back i would have thought
capaldi coming here brings competition for that place which imho is what we need as we need throughout the team

His passion for the game can be seen quite clearly particularly when he had to be restrained by the stewards at one point. I thought the reaction of Stimson when Uncle shouted "M O O O O OO R E C A M B E" was a classic
Shame the entertainment on the pitch didn't match the touchline antics at times.
After being subbed what did Jimmy Spencer do to the wall/floor on his way out when the 4th Official chased him out?
