Looking at the highlights, the first half appears pretty horrific in the way we just stood off and let them sweep through us. One v four for the first and third goals, but they still scored, while their second was a joke. On chances, we could easily have lost 5-2. Deacon unlucky, but the penalty looks very marginal. One VAR would have given at the World Cup though. Good job Booty currently knows how to score, but all we want for Christmas is that elusive defensive midfielder - or at the very least Odusanya back. One thing I really don't like though is all the squealing and screaming that goes on with tackles. Too many players do it, often even though they haven't been touched It is just yet another form of cheating.

Having missed a tonne of games this season so far, I have Dorking tomorrow and Worthing Saturday in my calendar finally so this was a bleak read haha. Do we know if the Worthing match is reduced entry? I have a mate coming and begrudge making him pay anything above £12 to watch us get battered. £10 adults, £5 under 18, under 11 free. Thank you

Acceptable prices as I don't think many would pay £19 to watch benchwarmers lose to Worthing.

I agree with you Nick even though the season so far has been disappointing in lots of ways. Even more worrying is the way Hak and Terry are playing about with the team, playing individuals out of position. Not keen on him bringing in hopefuls as young loan signings and selecting them straightaway. Recruitment this season has been poor. So has Hak done well enough ? Not imo. But he def deserves the full season to do enough to keep us in the National League. If he fails, then its thanks and goodbye. If he succeeds, well thats a different story. The problem is that if he gets the whole season, and doesn't do the job, we've had to watch yet another NL season where we get stuffed by all and sundry, gates drop away and we just wait for the inevitable. And we end up back in the bloody NS, while Fleet and Darts enjoy beating Gillingham. Whilst we sit on the sidelines. Why does he get another half season when he's already shown - summer + half a season - that he can't turn things around? OK, it's a risk changing managers, and not something I ever like to see, but a new man in charge might keep us up, and at least we'd have some hope. I've been through the Barry Fry season, the last season in the FL, and the Clown season, I don't want to go through another one like those.

How and why is the mythical new manager going to REALISTICALLY restore Stones fortunes this season ?

How and why is the mythical new manager going to REALISTICALLY restore Stones fortunes this season ? They may not but the current one has shown no indication he is going to!! Sometimes you need to roll the dice. Too many errors from Hak. Leave it any longer and it won’t matter who is in charge.

Because our owners are not the kind of men to sack a manager based on internet noise. They know and see what happens behind the scenes; something none of us knows about. Hak is not about to be sacked, so he gets my continued support.

How and why is the mythical new manager going to REALISTICALLY restore Stones fortunes this season ? With Hak we've had just 2 wins in 19 games. Let's be real here, it's not like anyone else could do any worse, we're already in a right mess. Why not give someone else a chance, we've still got 23 games, maybe they can get something out of these players or be able to attract better players. Because it's clear as day that it's not working with Hak in charge.

A lot boils down to can we afford to sack him. Assuming he is on contract till May we would have to compensate him for the rest of the season or would we? Not really sure how it works.

Hak's clearly on a season long contract along with Terry and maybe others too. All our players are contracted for the season as well. So where is the money coming from to pay for a new management/coaching team, pay off the current coaching team, and then pay extra for some quality players unwanted by their present clubs. Its ok for forum members to spout their demands but which one of you is going to gift the club 50k-100k in order to 'roll the dice' ? If you don't care to gamble your own personal money, its just pointless noise. In the meantime Hak and Terry has got a proper job to do by getting the team back on track

Who said they have to sign new players???

Please tell me where anyone demanded anything??
Also, have you forgotten the season where we had 3 or 4 managers and STILL MADE A PROFIT?? it works both ways, if the idea is to just let Hak stay no matter what, the club will lose out on a lot of money due to lower crowds.
For crying out loud this is a forum, aren't people allowed to question the manager on his mistakes this season?? should we just be happy at only 2 wins in 19 games and clap along without mentioning that there are clear problems??
Funny how everyone was vocal on here to get rid of Wheeler, yet here we are in a situation that is just as bad, and we mustn't even suggest getting a new manager.

You are quite entitled to wish Hak the sack just before Christmas.
All very seasonal !
