December gone, innit? New Year, new Manager, all is rosy in the garden, right?

It was a step in the right direction, carried on from the first half performance at Chesterfield and saw out the game, James and Feather were on top form and defence looked sturdy, still have doubts about Kitching!

Yes.
The daffodils are due up next month.

Slowly improving but still a lot to improve on , for example hardly any of our players are any good at heading the ball, meaning headed goals from corners and set pieces are a rarity. Still the tempo has improved with us now running at teams , getting into the box and getting penalties etc. Also it is apparent our players aren't that fit and are running out of puff after 60/70 minutes, this will now be addressed under Money, but its won't be easy, fit/strong players should be coming good at this stage of the season, not having to be put through the sort of training that should of taken place at the beginning of the season. I thought Kitching had his best game for us on Tuesday after steadily improving over the last few weeks. It was also good to see McLaughlin get on the scoresheet as well.

If Mr Money tries to do pre-season training in January, we'll get relegated.

You're not telling me that the team lies down exhausted after 70 minutes. The last three games we've been right in the oppositions faces for the last 15 minutes. That's just fanciful.

That's what I saw at Chesterfield and on Tuesday v Gateshead, they tire, retreat and sit too deep, and invite the opposition onto them. I don't know what games you've been watching. It could be tactics as well but looked to me like fatigue.

Donaldson went on two runs in the first 15 minutes and had his tongue hanging out. He spent the next ten minutes telling the rest not to pass to him. That's just not normal for a pro footballer.

First Snowdrop out in my garden

I've had wrens n pied wagtails in me garden this week.
But seen no Robins or Tits yet maybe next month when it gets a bit warmer.

HTH
