If from Saturday's team we could replace Pope (Henderson), Fox (Wiggins) and Harriot/George with some decent quality in January then I believe we can start winning games and move up the table. <br />Need to win some games to get some faith back in the fans or attendances will keep falling and next seasons season tickets will drop down further.801912601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-52323877894458880632014-12-14T08:12:03.654+00:002014-12-14T08:12:03.654+00:00PH - Roland has the money and probably the patienc...PH - Roland has the money and probably the patience to have already written this season off to slow progress which we have seen so far. He can decide to strengthen for next season if we finish comfortably above last seasons' showing and take it from there. The problem is, season ticket holders have to watch the pap we are serving up this season in the meantime. Maybe Bob Peeters simply isn't ambitious enough as a manager - yesterday's performance against a League 2 side in all but timing was unacceptable. It was probably value for the £2 Community Trust visitors but not for hardened season ticket holders.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191662363898215747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-66007099139325729452014-12-14T08:06:35.251+00:002014-12-14T08:06:35.251+00:00PA - 30 games?

What needs to change is our approach to matches. There has to be an emphasis on winning instead of one of not losing. We have the personnel to do that and should have managed it yesterday.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191662363898215747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-21737166871739197822014-12-14T07:45:55.642+00:002014-12-14T07:45:55.642+00:00Dave,

My son and I have seen one win in a season and a half - 30 games...<br /><br />We knew that in the last 15 mins we'd start to sit deep and sure enough we made exactly the same mistake once more.<br /><br />Disagree with you re Gomes - thought he did well going forward. Solly's position was very odd though. <br /><br />Mid table mediocrity is something I'd gladly swap for the relegation battles of the last two years. But your slow strangulation comparison is very apt. I'm not enjoying myself at all.<br /><br />Pembury AddickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-47691427915370567612014-12-13T22:19:24.739+00:002014-12-13T22:19:24.739+00:00Changes with.....who?

And even then, I get the feeling Roland will be saying "Well done, Bob, more of the same for a midtable finish, and then we'll see..." <br /><br />We look a bit threadbare. Don't forget, we would have taken someone's arm off if they had suggested in August we'd be 5 points off the play offs in the run up to Christmas. I'll take a win and a draw against Blackburn and Cardiff, and then revenge against Ipswich to see out the year in some style! <br /><br />Martin CowanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
