Nail...Head...Hit !!!!
We signed too many inexperienced lads under Cook, Leam can only work with what he's been left with and the resources available to him.
Leam has tried to change that by bringing in the likes of Beattie, Hunt & Wilson, though he's probably got the smallest wage budget in the League to work with.
To put it into another perspective....If you put OUR wage budget into comparison with the Conference ? BSP whatever they're calling it now....OUR budget would be down among the bottom teams in that league.
Leam has my full support.
For me the board of this club now have to take a gamble.
The fiver for the Wimbledon game may get a few more thro the turnstiles next Saturday, but for me, we've got to try and raise the gates for the rest of the home games...
Drop admission to a tenner, give kids free tickets. Be adventurous and offer multi deals....playing in front of these gates is not only hurting the club in the pocket but it must be really demoralising to run out to play at the Crown with a little other a thousand in attendance !!
Secondly, they've got to back Leam with some money to get players in ( and fast ) who can get us away from this mire. The next two games are probably the biggest games we've had since returning to the league.
Win them both and we get breathing space in the fight to stay in the league.....lose them...and for me....we're down.
Either way...if we don't address the slide that is 7 defeats from 9 and we don't start putting points on the board....we can look forward (if you can put it that way ) to playing conference football next year.
Somebody said earlier that 50 points may be enough....I disagree. I think we'll need 53 to be safe for sure....the way results are going at the moment. Like another poster has said...if things don't change ...and fast....I struggle to see where we'll get another 10-15 points never mind 20 or 23!!!!!
