I think if Hill wins MOM for February we should be OK.

The Chairman’s latest statement is probably the most frank, humble and honest one he has ever made.
Personally I am putting any anti ownership emotion on hold until the seasons outcome is determined. Time to wholeheartedly get behind the club and the team whilst we try and work the miracle.

And really great news Keith has committed beyond the end of this season, no matter where we end up. He’s been a great appointment.
Good business in the window too, 8 in and some (not all) of the makeweights moved on, the signings look to be Keith’s too.
And I’ve got to say, credit to Swanny too for making it happen financially.
Onward and hopefully up the league now, as others have said, let’s get behind Keith & the lads now for the rest of the season, UTI.

Realistically we need 1.5 points per game which would take us to 46 at the end of the season. That would have kept us up in the past 7 seasons in League 2 (depending on goal difference).
An incredibly tough ask given that we’ve only won 4 games in the past 50! We need to start by winning our home games, starting this weekend. Hopefully the new signings immediately click.

After tonights results with Colchester taking another point, and Barrow winning away from home, it now looks as though there are just three teams fighting for the one spot of being safe (very much like last season), so Scunny are bottom with just 19 points the same as Oldham, but Oldham have two games in hand of us, and the other team being Carlisle who are 8 points above Scunny and Oldham, so it now looks like a hopeless position for us. This makes Sayurdays match, a much win situation, no other result is acceptable or we are down for sure.
So the team and management know what to do, the crowd can help a little, but it is entirely up to the management and his players, things have been left far too late, and the teams SIX defeats on the bounce have not helped in any way, so we just have to go for the win, and the only possible way of winning matches IS TO SCORE SOME BLOODY GOALS.

If that’s what you take from this statement, it probably says more about the tone of previous statements.
I don’t see what’s changed: we’ve signed a bunch of rejects & unproven players at the last minute, replacing the “star” signings from last summer. We have seen it all before and it rarely works – remember how well it went three years ago when we barely won a game from February onwards?
I hope this last-gasp throw of the dice can save us but I can’t see any grounds for optimism. And even if it does save us, what will we do differently in the future to stop us ending up in this position in 12 months’ time?

Win every other game hahaha. You do realise we’ve won 4 games out of the last 50? Yes, that’s right, 4 out of the last 50!!

I trust this is another example of awaywego’s unique sense of humour?

Got to try and smile Deerey, even though at times I get in a really dark space about it all, sure everyone is the same.

Bottom line – what has been wrong on the pitch?
Too much inexperience but no spine.Now, the balance has changed. We cannot judge what happens next by the failures on the pitch pre-transfer window.
Clean slate. 18 games. Don’t let our position in that mini league fall into the bottom third.
We have strengthened at CB. We have strengthened wide. We have strengthened in CM in front of defence.
Burns looks better than Scrimshaw. We have strikers to rough up defenders.
We’ll get the ball into the box more.Who can argue that this side is not truly improved?
It may not be enough … but there is still cause for a little hope.

With Grant and Feeney we edged the midfield against a decent side last Saturday for the first half at least.
Shame we had nothing apart from Burns up front to benefit from that.
Second half a combination of Vale stepping up the pace and our new boys dropping off it and it was a different story.
No doubt all of these guys will need time and games to show their best. Hopefully we can scrap 2 or 3 results until that happens.

Amen to that MK.
Saturday will be interesting – the two key players against Oldham away (Loft & Hippolyte) have left the club, will the replacements ensure they aren’t missed?

Why did we have to have 4 years of rapid decline before employing a manager that knows what he is doing and letting him get on with it?
Too little, too late?
We will see.
