    Over the last 6 games the form guide has us 19th (6th worst in the division)
    Totally unacceptable

    The fact we are still within touching distance of the Top spot just shows you how poor this competition is.

    Thankfully there’s no Tamworth so far this year because if there was we’d probably be miles behind by now.

    This league is there for the taking but we need a better manager than Butler, Jimmy wasn’t the answer but I think swapping him for Andy was a massive mistake and somehow a downgrade.

    Jimbob was dismal.

    Butler needs to change very quickly or he’ll lose the fans!

    We were nine points clear. Threw two points away by being needlessly negative v Oxford, another two last week at Chester by not attacking once. Two away v Chorley from a late goal when winning to draw. Three v Scarborough who were very poor.

    We are too negative by playing 5 across the back, which leaves us short I’m midfield or upfront.

    Quite frankly this division is very poor and if we played to win each week we probably would.

    Come on Andy play positive not negative when setting up the team.

    I fear this is Butler style and he doesn’t have the nous to change it. Of the players who concern me the most they are defensive types but in terms of attacking options we need to dip into the loan market to have a player that can change/effect the game. Rushall papered over the cracks – they were really poor. When we meet a half decent team (for this league which is utter shite) then we struggle. Not calling for a change in management but am calling for a change from the management

    I agree that caution and inviting pressure cost us v Oxford City and were too negative against Chester, but today was surely about lapses in concentration, given that they scored all their goals from defensive errors shortly after kick offs.

    I did not mention Southport at all, merely the now eroded nine point cushion!

    Southport were utterly rubbish first half and we should have been 2-0 up from Kian Scales effort.

    What worries me is we ceased to be an attacking force when 3-2 down and we never had one shot in 7 injury time minutes.

    The only plus was taking a defender off to drop the 5 across the back.
