Another 90 mins of abject misery for those of us who decided to blindly support the blind. You can blame the ref, the naughty opposition for sticking to a game plan but it's plain to see we're no promotion chasing team. I don't care what anyone says in defence of the team, it's not good enough and some on here will defend poor performances till they get an award from Mr.Newton for being prize lick arses but it's time for a reality check. Whether it's the fault of the manager for bringing in the wrong players or whether it's down to budget restraints I'm not entirely sure.
I wonder why the club insist that it's our goal to reach the playoffs when clearly we haven't the tools needed to achieve such an target. If the chairman isn't prepared to invest more in players wages, which he's perfectly entitled not to, this is the kind of team we'll realistically be stuck with. Maybe it's more important for the club to focus on reducing debts and becoming self sufficient rather than splashing the cash like last nights opponents. The recent poor displays have certainly had an impact on attendances which raises the question, should the chairman speculate to accumulate ? Does he go for slightly better players in the hope of reaching the playoffs / attracting bigger gates or do we carry on with a modest budget and have a flutter with success every now and again. I can see pros and cons to both arguments. Surely in my opinion it would be more sensible if the club said we've a tight budget, we're trying to reduce the deficit and we've got to live within our means. I'm sure fans would totally respect that, as did the Gainsborough fans when their club announced such a plan.
