After Scarborough that’s a disappointing result. Consistency will come…I hope!

I guess we shouldn’t get too optimistic. Let’s face it, last season was a struggle and to suddenly go to title contenders isn’t realistic. If we stay up without too much trouble then that’s good. If we challenge for a play-off place then that’s a bonus. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We need a season to rebuild and stabilise a previously failing enterprise. We’ve had a decent start and let’s face it, we’re still well-placed despite a second loss.

Is Bartosz injured?

Seriously disappointing today…but who would have predicted our recent form? Let’s just chalk it up and move on to ensure we stay up. Then next season is guaranteed and another story.

What's happened to him? Injured?

Well said TonyM. What we don’t know is the real financial situatiion and what AL has to play with. It may be his hands are tied and he has few options other than to look for players available on loan. I fear the worst this season but I would guess we have what we have until the end…if we get out of jail I will be delighted and look forward to next season.
I’m far from happy as a long-standing supporter but how many of us would sink money into the Club as Mr Cleeve has done? We just have have to cut the manager some slack and trust he can turn things around. Changing again would serve no purpose.

I knew and said we’d struggle this year but didn’t really think we’d go down. After 35 minutes tonight I’d say it was now a certainty that we’ll be relegated. Sad…

I agree completely Linnet. I know some feel otherwise but I think we'll be better off without him in the long run. He could have been a real asset but there were serious question marks ongoing over fitness, motivation etc. Maybe he's his own worst enemy?

Sorry we lost but not a big deal as the Trophy isn’t important unless you’re in a Division above. League issues are far more crucial. It sounded as though we played OK but a bigger effort on Tuesday would be better as points are far more important. Again, a point would be an amazing result on Tuesday.

Brilliant performance and brilliant win. Congratulations to the manager and all the players. One match doesn’t make a season so let’s stay grounded. We won’t suddenly shoot up the NLN and beat all teams we come across but let’s enjoy the moment and hope for better things in the coming months.

Another away trip…another point would be good. Let’s not get carried away but just be realistic. We need injured folk back and need to scrap for everything until then and maybe even after.

Agreed, something from the game would be good - like a point. If we got three that would be amazing. We can’t expect too much in reality as we’re two basement clubs so let’s travel, as they say, “More in hope than expectation”.

1-1 against a team in the top half, regardless of their recent form, isn’t bad. We have to be realistic and accept that we’re in a relegation battle. The manager needs time to sort out what he’s inherited. We can’t just suddenly expect the same players to start winning games when they couldn’t earlier in the season. Everyone needs to have patience. We’re going to struggle this season and must simply focus on staying up. That means figthing for every point no matter who we play. Nothing is going to be easy.

Credit to Mr Cleeve. He’s moved positively on the back of a poor start and now made what appears to be an excellent appointment which, thank goodness, has nothing to do with past managerial situations at the Club. Here’s looking forward to better things. We must not expect too much though. Staying in the NLN would be enough for me this season given our current position and players.
