Dave U and Razor 05. ..Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear They must go to the same rosey coloured specs shop. We need to send Oliver Ash and the Halifax Courier to that shop as they saw the same poor quality game from two struggling dudes that the rest of us saw!

Negativity is never a good thing. Watch the highlights up to 74 mins Halifax done nothing and the stones should have been at least 3 up. You have to sometimes give the boys there due. They worked hard and as highlights show dominated for most of the game. Yes a poor goal conceded and the game lost but a bit of positivity needed.And as for the boys not caring, look at the reaction of one or two at the end(one being a loan player,who supposedly doesn't care.)

I think they do care but it has been such a disjointed season that they don't know what is going on. Tactics keep changing etc. However, let's be honest, this squad is not really NL quality.

I totally agree and in my original post I put down a few points were improvement is needed. If and I say 'IF' we are to stay up we need to support the team until the end or when it is mathematically impossible to stay up. There were improvements Tuesday and yes it was a very poor Halifax side but the team is what it is and need support more than ever.

Exactly - the reaction of ONE OR TWO. The whole team should have been flat on their backs! The loan player is probably worried about relegation being on his CV when trying to find another job if his current team don't want him. Sorry Razor if you think that's cynical or negative but I think its realistic, as is everyone's view of the Halifax game except yourself and Dave U. I am also optimistic - I think we may get something at Stockport - and I will always cheer the team at every game (As we did in the Genco vs Halifax right up until the 87th minute!). Yes, we did put up a fight against Halifax and that was very very pleasing to see after the Bromley no show (Hence us getting right behind the team for almost all of the game) but the key thing taken away from the Halifax game was the total lack of any quality football, and that IS worrying. However, come the next game at JWW I will be there as always and will cheer the lads on as always - but after the game I will also always be a realist about how good/bad we actually were! COYS!

That's fair enough,everyone entitled to an opinion.When loan players joined the club they would have already known the situation the club was in,so credit to them for taking on the challenge.
Appreciate your time with conversation and im sure we'll stand together and support the boys as the season draws to an end. COYS

So we look at the reaction of one or two players as you say, so what about the other nine? There is a severe lack of passion amongst the team that has not been there for some years.

I must disagree, I watched the team come off at the end of the game and without exception they were down and very disappointed at the result! look at the highlights again, we created opportunity and chances way beyond that generated by Halifax- who were poor in my opinion.
The issue was that our players could not hit the target, did not even test the keeper at all despite very clear cut scoring chances.
I thought midfield and defence did OK on balance - We had more chances than Halifax and should have buried them- Poor Finishing in this case
NLS beckons sadly but then it has done since the season started- I for one will not miss NL - full of cheats and Divers and Poor Football with pathetic officials.

Positives - I think it was the first game where we had bodies in the box when we attacked, sometimes as many as 4. Pity the ball was never passed to any of them.
Negatives - Well there are many but I will just mention a few. We have professional footballers so is it too much to ask that a) they manage a shot on target and b) there is some power in the shot rather than resembling a back pass. How many attempts did we have that just dribbled past the post?
Apart from one spell when we put 5 passes together, why is it we cannot pass the ball? Too often a pass is made but then no movement and the move fizzles out.
Time after time the teams we play in this league are bigger, stronger, faster, better organised and just better in every department. As has been said before, we are where we are for a reason and there needs to be wholesale changes next season.

We have the 16th highest player budget in the league! That means 7 sides are currently doing a better job on less money, I assume Braintree are one of those 8 with less to spend. However if you just take a moment to think that if you add all the managers or assistant managers to the caretaker managers and then add the goalkeepers we have used that would be near anough a starting 11 and a bench for a game!! The cost of shirts alone with the player turnover must equal most NLS budgets. I’m sure every decision made this season was done with the best intentions, BUT how many times as a club have we royally ballsed it up! Just a season to forget all round.

Not sure if we did have more chances than Halifax. They hit the bar twice and Lewington made several more than decent saves. However, fully agree with the last bit, especially the cheats, divers etc. Not sure refereeing will be any better in the NLS though!

And Solihull to come and they are the worst culprits for falling over at every opportunity and look where they ate in the league .

Looked at another way (if true), this means that 15 teams have a player budget bigger than ours. That's over 60% - nearly two thirds - of the league spending more on players than us. How do we expect to anything more than have a relegation battle each season on those odds?
