Re: Losing Faith?
 

Good point Jeff, something i made of point of too, is that if we went down would it flourish our support to improve gates, as most of the gate of conference when we were there was about playing well onfield & putting on a good performance to the point we won promotion - achieving the dream that we waited a long time for - bringing a new support with it, we played entertaining footy. To go back down without effort would lose the momentum. Die hards will always remain in strong support but attaining new support & keeping that requires playing well not going to see us hammered & players not performing at all. Its not about position in league its about a team with pride & playing well as we should be especially at home:rolleyes:

Re: Losing Faith?
 

Coley, Jimmy Bell, Eric, Rob Heys, they all tell us that we have a squad capable of reaching the play off's and that our aim is promotion to league one. Some people believe everything that Coley says, that is the reasoning that we should be higher than where we are.

Re: Losing Faith?
 

The management team have to be ambitious, even with limited resources - its their job to motivate the players to achieve more. All I'm saying is we've got to be realistic. Anything's possible, as our earlier season form suggests. But if we are going to make sustainable progress it will have to be steady.

What really worries me is that we've sold D'Sane, Andy Todd isn't fit, Craney has been dissapointing since he came back and Mullin can't do it all on his own. We've always had problems defending but if we can't score then we are in real trouble.

I gather David Brown failed to put away "a gifted (gilt edged?) chance" in Rushton's 2-0 win at Halifax and got subbed after 74 mins.

Re: Losing Faith?
 

Add to that list the departure of Brown and now Boco and we are rapidly running out of forwards / goalscorers. It was plain to see last Saturday against Wycombe that we're starting to run out of ideas / options. The loan window is now open and I only hope that Coleman can bring in a couple of players who will give us a few different options up front.

Otherwise it's going to be a struggle to reach safety and we're already starting to look nervously over our shoulders at the clubs below us.:(

Re: Losing Faith?
 

thought brown scored for rushden in that game?? am i mistaken? but it is nice to see all are forwards bangin goals in apart for ther at over clubs:mad::mad:

Re: Losing Faith?
 

Starting to get worried. Is it me, or is there anyone else on here who doesn't understand Grinchish?:)

Re: Losing Faith?
 

:confused: translation.... nice to see our loan'd out strikers scoring for other clubs..:rolleyes::):):) may be:D

Re: Losing Faith?
 

Am I losing the faith? Yes I am but I will be there on Saturday hoping we can get three points, I will be the one with the rain cloud above my head carrying the big paper round sack so please say hello and cheer me up. It's like rats leaving a sinking ship, both Boco and Graham Charnley in two days, god I'm depressed roll on Saturday.

Re: Losing Faith?
 

It's certainly getting harder to 'keep the faith' with what's gone on the last week or two, losing Roscoe, Browny & now Rommy which only leaves us with two strikers, one of which is injured & we've been told won't be fit for this weekend. Pass the sackcloth & ashes :(

Re: Losing Faith?
 

Plus when you add the fact that Roberts and Webb seem to be out in the cold, there's not much of a squad left.

"We all were"?????????? Hope that's a generalisation.

Re: Losing Faith?
 

Most talented individually, yes. Best TEAM no. Last season the lads were fighting for each other tooth and nail, and even when they lost, we always went down fighting doing ourselves proud. How we'd so dearly love to have the attitude of the Forest game installed back amongst the lads. :rolleyes:
