More widespread and understandable concerns about the coming season starting to grow on the forum.
Those of us who have been saying this over the summer were accused of disliking George and jumping the gun and to just trust.
Of course there is still time for it to all come good and George prove to be the new Jay and shape us into a winning team but equally it’s interesting seeing all the comments on managing expectations and enjoying whatever football we get at the Gallagher as part of a mid table outcome.
I hear all that but still can’t help thinking we are a club that is better than that. Maybe that’s where I’m going wrong!
Maybe I’ve become a “glory hunter” due to us winning the NLS title and just accept and enjoy our real status as mid table NLS, be happy we are not In Isthmian and get on with it.
Time will tell but good to see others seeing the warning signs at last.

I think it may be time for all of us to start worrying when even the perpetual optimist that is daveu begins criticising the reliance on trialists and not finding a settled team. Concerning times I'm very concerned. The sun has disappeared, the wind is making the sea choppy and I've run out of beer,concerning times indeed. It was worse in The Bay. I had to get the washing in when it rained! Still, I've finished my essay

Time will tell but good to see others seeing the warning signs at last. It's fine to be concerned after all we all care about the team. I don't thank anyone has been accusing any one of disliking George so not sure where that came from? The third paragraph is referencing my input from the other day. What I may not have explained is that I wouldn't be happy in mid-table perse but it would likely have meant we would have won half of our home games and I wouldn't be depressed, as you put it, to have that situation after seeing maybe 3 wins last season. I think, as a club, we should be aiming high, but the club, ground, crowd are largely irrelevant if a team comes in a spends a sugar daddies money. Having said that, we can be a playoff team at worst and that is what I expect. Warning signs or not, some will have the attitude of being a bit gloomy, and getting it out there, and some will judge once the season starts and recruitment is done.

I'm not expecting much with GE as manager, we're be lucky to stay up this season. Owners still in denial. New shirt which I really like seems to be the only positive so far...

Blimey if Mr Plow is anywhere close to being right then things are much worse than I imagined. Anything is possible but this most dire of predictions def seems OTT. Mid table would be seriously disappointing imo and I'm hoping for better.

I think Mr Plow has taken over sword's persona.
The miserable, moany old git from Tonbridge has recently become completely respectable and level headed.
I reckon there must have been a personality exchange with the Plowman.

But Mr Plow it’s YELLOW. It’s a nice shirt but it’s just the wrong colour. “Werrrre the black and yellow army” doesn’t have the same punch for me as our normal chant.
