Re: For DAV007

for the record, from winning at Fleetwood in November to the win at Rochdale 3 months later, we went 17 games with 1 win and 6 draws and 10 defeats. That run was enough to put the willies up any stanley supporter (so to speak)
Even Leam's biggest fans must have wondered whether we had made a big mistake and it's probably to Leam's benefit that we can't afford to sack the manager. Plenty of other clubs would have pulled the trigger (e.g an outfit 6 miles to the west of accrington).
So for me, although we hit such a bad run I had to keep backing leam because we had no real alternative. Forget JC and JB - that was never a viable option. We just can not afford to sack a manager and bring back people who left for more money at rochdale
To say the players were behind Leam is being a bit wise after the event; some of those performances through the winter months were so appalling that i shall never be able to think of Dagenham and Redbridge without a shudder.

I guess we will never know the truth of that midwinter slump and I am happy to let bygones be bygones and look forwards.
