On holiday in the Highlands, so a Highland League fixture in the glorious sunshine. My hometown team were second-best but they hung in at 1-0 and after the visitors were reduced to ten men for cheating (simulation), they were able to press forward and grab an equaliser.
It was competitive and it looked like the players had no time on the ball but probably because it's a step down from National League South and no-one on the pitch had the class to find any.
I certainly missed an eventful match at the Valley but another really poor result. Even with our obvious shortcomings and lack of confidence, this was a shocker. Four defeats in succession to Peterborough, Newport County, Bristol Rovers and Port Vale. It borders on a new low and nowhere near what the expert senior management team were reassuring us about a few weeks ago.
As I have said, and will keep saying, this lot are a busted flush. No money, an inadequate squad, and glaring shortcomings. We are also burning some kids at the same time.
Dean Holden will be struggling to deliver his post-match press conference and I suspect we will just get a run-through of the facts.
Charlie Methven needs to do a bit of explaining pronto and it needs actions, not waffle. This isn't what he and his pals promised. If I hear of a "two or three year plan" now, I will be at risk of spontaneous combustion. Same too if he dares to try and float that FFP crap past us. Oh, and if he thinks now is the time to tell us our finances are much worse than they thought.
I'm on holiday in France, boiling hot and cooling down by swimming in the local lake. Not really surprised at the result, kept an eye on the score throughout.We're woefully short of the quality required to get out of this poxy league.
