In terms of fanzines, I guess the various podcasts and, I'm sure blogs and vlogs are probably the equivalent. Probably my very individual idiosyncrasy, but I have never got on board with these, much prefer the 'printed' word I was always anti-Kindle because I liked having the book. Then anti-Audibl...

Heaven knows I‘m miserable now

5. We‘ve looked a complete mess for several weeks now.

No. I genuinely believe we’ll lose all four remaining games and finish second bottom.

Truro played on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday this week. All were home games, played at Gloucester City, a round trip of 7 hours. Still, the presence of Truro and Taunton playing home games in Gloucester means that City are now the fifth best team in the county.

art vandalay

Desperately poor, but then we‘ve clearly gone down a level over the past 8 or 9 games. There‘s just no quality in the final third, the absence of Goodwin, Street & Taylor very noticeable.

art vandalay

Complete and utter s#!t.

art vandalay

Second best, we‘ve deserved nothing. Wtf are you talking about? Second half we were by far the better side Over the 90 minutes Exeter were the better team and mostly controlled the way the game panned out. They worked the ball well going forward whereas we were pretty wasteful or lacked options and...

Second best, we‘ve deserved nothing.

Absolute garbage so far. Men against boys.

If Lloyd is off it surely raises the question of whether it‘s worth persevering with young players if they‘re not immediately ready to make the step up. The club have invested years in Lloyd‘s development with little in the way of return until this season (excluding goals) and then he‘s apparently o...

So that leaves us with three strikers. One has scored in one game this season, one hasn‘t scored this season and the other doesn‘t even look like a professional footballer.

art vandalay

Poor. We looked like a team that knows it‘s going down. Wouldn‘t be surprised to see us slip down to second bottom now.

art vandalay

We‘ve hit a brick wall. We managed to do it for about 19 games, but that’s it, looks like the tank is empty now.

art vandalay

A total of two shots on target in our last three games must be a big concern.

art vandalay

Poor. Apart from a good 20 minute spell in the first half I thought we looked tired. Not a single shot on target and that’s in what many would call a must win game. Right now I‘m struggling to see where those six wins or whatever will come from.

Wycombe's keeper got sent off today, straight red, so I assume he will be unavailable on Tuesday night. Substitute keeper is Argentinian Franco Ravvizoli, whose career history so far reads Wycombe, Milton Keynes, Eastbourne Borough and <double-checks notes> River Plate. Interesting........ Some tes...

I‘m pretty sure those accounts are for the 22/3 season, so no Goodwin or May sale, but they will include the Keena purchase. I expect there were also costs associated with the Seasons acquisition but the cost of Seasons itself wouldn‘t appear in the profit & loss account. It‘s difficult to think...

art vandalay

I disagree Si. The reason we weren‘t too many points behind is because not too many games had been played. But we were astoundingly bad and the turnaround required was absolutely massive, not just simply a case of recovering 7 points. One point and no goals from twelve games is absolutely pathetic. ...

art vandalay

That‘s now an average of 1.63 points per game from 19 games. The target is 1.47 over 34 games. We‘ve got a record of won 9, drawn 4 , lost 6 over those 19. Unbelievable considering the abject football we were playing in the first twelve.

art vandalay

Outstanding

art vandalay

That‘s 28 points from our last 18 games, it puts us back on track with just over the 1.5 points per game needed to hit 51.

art vandalay

I guess Grimsby may have taken the same approach when signing Thompson, a new 18 month contract when he only had 6 months remaining with us.

The podcast is very good btw, if anyone isn‘t a regular listener. I only started listening pre season and it quickly went into my must-listen-to list.

art vandalay

I reckon something like the rehab equipment could be raised pretty quickly by fans if a short campaign was put in place that was well publicised eg a Just Giving page and bucket collections before & after games.

art vandalay

That would be Tony Diaz who I think had a long association with Dorchester Town. Pretty sure we signed him for the last few months of the season to help with the promotion push and he returned to the south coast at the end of the season.

art vandalay

Fair comment Si, but a couple of key things for me. Yes, if Davies scores we probably go on to win. If Ben Williams doesn‘t get sent off we probably beat Orient. If Freestone doesn‘t jump in we don‘t give away a couple of penalties. If we don‘t have a mad 5 minutes we beat Reading. The list goes on....

art vandalay

Couldn‘t fault the effort in the second half but that‘s only 11 points from the last 11 games which is nowhere close to what we need. And the trend we‘ve seen throughout that time is that we don‘t take advantage when we‘re on top but then the opposition do sod all to get a goal. No evidence today th...

art vandalay

Poor, a really flat performance. As mentioned, it seems like we need 15 chances to get a goal and then we pretty much gift one away.

Southwood dodgy on first goal, midfield not pressing like normal and front pair lacking presence. A couple more like this and we can start planning for next season.

art vandalay

Midfield definitely looking stronger and we will need legs there. But up front is the real concern which is such a shame as we seemed to be firing all cylinders just a few weeks ago.

art vandalay

We ought to be taking the occasional punt on a non-League players. Sounds promising, so good luck to the lad.

art vandalay

We probably will be relegated anyway and if DC hadn't come in to change the squad around we'd be nearly there by now. He's swapped six or seven out of their depth loanees for 3 to 4 players with L1 or above experience, as he said he would, and a couple of youngsters on second loans. Yeah, its disap...

art vandalay

So one guy has helped FGR to the bottom of the Football League and the other helped Scunthorpe out of it. I know I haven’t seen them play, and I genuinely hope they do well, but by selling Goodwin imo we‘ve created a problem up front where one previously didn‘t exist.

art vandalay

A fully committed player, Thompson was outstanding against Wigan in November but I don‘t think he‘s offered loads since then and I always felt that his game time was being managed to restrict injuries.

art vandalay

Due to our abysmal 12 game start, that left us needing about 50 points from 34 games, or 1.47 points per game, which is top half of the table form. We’ve since turned it around massively and have taken 22 points from 15 games, or 1.47 points per game, so we’re bang on track. We were 3 points above t...
