Shudders down your spine will be the last of your worries if that scenario comes to fruition..

I think I would rather have no news than a load of bullshit, although neither scenario fills me with hope. A few short weeks till the end of the season, will we be any the wiser. Signs aren't emanating from the wow drawer. I'm hoping LS takes note of the gate against Rochdale and marks it down as a warning of things to come. You need to galvanise the fan base Mr Smith.

What worries me is how this group of players can go toe to toe with Rochdale and Scunthorpe but are capable of the most abject apology for Professional football like was seen at Wealdstone and to an extent at Woking not to mention the capitulation to Aldershot at the Vic. What exactly goes on in their heads? Is it their fault, is it they way they are set up, Featherstone's tactics, team talks? Is it the catering? What the feck is it? I have been watching Harrogate's results as they struggle to avoid the drop. They struggle for wins but the never get hammered 7-0. The same goes for most other teams who are struggling but a team that is on the edges of the play offs? We should NEVER get beat in such an abject fashion and then in the next game play properly. Is something rotten in the heart of our club?

Poor leadership…you don’t tolerate indifferent performances, you ‘manage’ your players or wave good bye.

The £47, online ticket prices for them last 2 games don't look very inviting especially in the same month as rising
C tax
Water bills.
Fone n Broadband.

Then you got the mega rise in gas/Leccy while the STs are on sale.

Smithy certainly got his work cut out to keep the fans on board.

But fair play he's played an absolute blinder since January.
Let's have fun going for the play-offs :lol:

That Wealdstone result come across as some kind of rebellion from the players.
A sort of on strike game with zero Scabs in it.
Maybe not happy with the overnight stay or being told they not capable of going on a decent run of wins.

Obviously the players had to end it for the Easter fixtures were plenty of Poolies would be in attendance.

No worries though Bromby assessing all this shit and are Gunna cure it.
That's what they do innit!?

UTP.

might not be by 7 goals but most teams get one hammering a season but to conteract that they hammer someone else. something you cannot see this team doing. assessing the shit and being able to cure it are two different things and we might all get conned by reading business speak from the experts.

It was very similar to the Grimsby game after Sylla downed tools, or Crawley when no one turned up from our 11.
Maybe a game where the players may have been unshackled and we're unhappy about team selection and tactics, a very strange one when none of our players finish a game without any credit whatsoever.

Fast forward about 4 weeks.

We are delighted to tie Nicky down to a 3 year contract.
Also Lidds.

We will back them with the best signings from division 6 plus a few loanie kids to sit on the bench and cover injuries. :lol:
Now buy them league One priced STs to subsidise Promotion.


Or will it be better than that.

Is the Rec still Gunna be RiftHouse Masterplan.
