The real problem will be training - assuming we go for a mix of part-time and full-timers - but I'm sure there's ways to get round that. That is never gonna happen, players need to be training together not two different groups training at different times. You either stay full time or go part time not a mix of the both. Bravo Raymondo, but you are taking a big risk in sticking such reasoned posts on this forum. |

Its simple the players just ain't any good. You could have some of the worlds best coaches/managers in charge of this group and we would be still in the same mess we are now. |

Having seen some NLN & NLS recently there is a clear gulf between them and the National League.
Even in our current state we have matched top teams from the division below (Woking top, Stockport 2nd)
SO I would expect us to be competitive in a difficult league, it may take a few seasons to get promoted again but I would be disappointed if we were not playoff candidates every year

You dont have to be Stephen Hawking to work out that our troubles started when we went full-time. We used to attract top semi-pro players who enjoyed their footie and a second income. Our full time wages are obviously not attracting the best talent.
We got promoted before as a part time side (so did Sutton) so why not again?

But aren’t we committed to be full time next yeareven in NLS? |

Braintree in the NN?? I think it's more likely to be St Albans or Hemel Mempstead. I think Hemel and Oxford were both stuck in the north for a couple of seasons a few years ago. As were Gloucester who got shuffled down to NLS from NLN. The approximate North-South deliniation starts along an imaginary line from the Severn to The Wash. |

You could equally say our troubles started with Worgan's penalty save in the playoff final. The only certainty is that we struggled in the NL. The cause is open to interpretation, but you cannot definitively pin it on going full time |

Don't know if it is possible to find the evidence, but strongly suspect that the amount of money in the NL has increased significantly in the last couple of years and though we may have increased our budget too, it has not been enough to keep pace.
57 players, including six keepers and gawd knows how many defenders tells its own story. Can only hope we use no more than twenty over the whole of next season, during which time they get to know each other and form a strong unit.

Let's hope this time we start recruitment early & there is a pattern to whom we recruit. |

Agree Dave. Four teams go down every year..just happens to be our turn. Time to draw a line under this season and move on...after beating the Gills of course.
