As a football club we have taken some wrong turns that in the end has proved costly. Whether it has been the board or poor management.
No disrespect to Mrs Bristow. She has done all she can to try and keep us up by pumping more and more money into it. However, it's alright pumping all that money in but it's got to be used in the right way.
The things that have hit us hard this term are:
-Knill being manager till christmas, fair enough he kept us up last year but for me we should have kept lingy or got rid of earlier
-No 'Rene Howe' type foward signed in the summer
-(No foward signed perminantly at all)
-Not using our own young players as much
-and lastly... the amount of loaned fowards we had.
I would like to focus on the last one. Having diffrent strikers each month provided no consistency or chemistry within the team. It also pushed the likes of Yeoman and Sullivan, who personally I thing have bags of petential, out of the squad. If we had one on loan for the whole season, like McCallum for a whole season or Marquis(who admittedly got recalled), there would have been much more of a bond. Take Goodwin. He was here for a while and started building confidence mid to late of his spell. He was no where near settled in the first month. Even, O'Connor, although he isn't a stiker, he has been outstanding, but we've had him for most of the season and he build a chemistry with the rest of the squad, particularly Pearce, whom for me is player of the year and O'Connor being Young player. We fast foward to the last few games. 3 wins out of 4. Out goes Stockly, not ours, out goes Hawley...aha Hawley... and in comes Yeoman. Bang bang, 2 goals. Coulthirst is different because he is from Spurs and wants to play and puts the effort in. If we can keep the few players I have mentioned above i believe we can do well in the conference!
Amen
