So I can only assume you would prefer GJ to go out and get another 10 loan players at whatever cost and when Jarvis, Dawson, Hall, etc etc come back we will have a squad of 30 players? Yeah sounds great but hardly sustainable, I’m not going to be rude and suggest the same as you did about who’s fooled easily.

The new ground is still planned. The finances are very good. It became clear getting players to relocate is a big issue. As others have pointed out, as the group got larger, with shouting and swearing he retreated.

Perhaps Wayne Rooney will be free soon....

Interested to know if anyone thinks he should carry on?

After this result we can be negative because its three points less but screaming for heads to roll after 7 games because we are three points off the top of the table and only sitting in a play-off spot is ludicrous.

We can be negative about todays result because anyone who paid money to travel and watch a shambles in the 2-1 defeat at Aveley deserves an apology from management and players. This is not a quality league, our game play has to be all about fight, desire, attitude and set-plays. Today we lacked leadership, we lacked aggression and we lacked fight - we deserved to lose. It’s a real low point for our team but they need to stay together and get it together. There’s an honest and talented bunch of lads in the squad and today is a tough moment for them but we all know the players can be better individually and collectively across the board.

Being only three points off the top of the table after 7 games why not wait to be judge and jury after the mandatory 10 games.

I do not believe in conspiracy theories and theorists are just baco foil covered weirdos but there has got to be a very good reason why even short term loans have not been brought in. There is absolutely no reason to wait for another month or so until the players you have chosen becomes available , if they become available, You are betting all your eggs into not being forced into getting emergency loans of dubious quality if any more players get injured today, and knowing our luck on that score I would not bet against it. If we get a draw today it will be a bonus.

Yes our recruitment has been poor but for whatever reason the players are not buying into the way GJ wants to play. Time for a change before it’s too late.
