Use ANY excuses you like but the Facts are that in the last 8 matches we have gained 9pts and are 14th in the Form Table and unless it changes we have no chance of getting promoted !!!!!!!!!!!

I wish that the positive entertaining football from last season would return.
We seem to have lost our way a bit.
SK is an excellent manager but there is something missing from our performances
No team wins all the time but I cannot see us even making the play offs with our indifferent
Form.

Well done Kingy again for an honest appraisal. I think we all share his pain and frustration. I hate excuses about penalties not being given, but he was right, there were at least two rock solid ones.
He refers again to the lack of goals from our forwards (all decent players!) which is so frustrating, but I really don't think the service is good enough still. I lost count of the times L'Ghoul ran down blind alleys and lost possession. Modeste in fairmess looked rusty, but neither of these creative players created much at all.
So frustrating, but I'm still certain it will happen. In Kingy I trust!

Spot on Dave I have to agree on all points and when L'Ghoul jinks twists pirouettes and then fails to get in a shot or cross and can't beat the first man from crosses or corners the forwards in the box get little or no decent service from him and couple that with the attacking fullbacks seeming to be unable to cross or beat the defenders then something has to change.
Not sure what but in your words with a twist
So frustrating, but we are still certain it will happen. In Kingy we trust!

Remind me who signed a majority of the squad?

Glad that it is accepted that fans have feelings too, as frustrated as Kingy is, I am too, I just am not afraid to say so. Hope is a wonderful thing, needed it in droves over the years, hoping for better from all including refs
already focused on the belief that our recent results will be improved upon.

There was a general feeling at the start of the season that the squad was exceptionally strong, both in quantity and quality, a feeling with which I agreed at the time. Were we wrong, are the players letting the Manager down, or are good players not being used effectively? Was the problem with recruitment or is it with coaching and tactics?

You are right HC, but Sheringham, Barham, Romain, Dickson, Akinwande etc are all very good proven forwards who just haven't delivered goals. Is this down to bad form, poor service, tactics, I don't know for sure. But my feeling is the service has been lacking... particularly from the wide players.
