Don’t mention those names to SC.  He will be looking to give them a pre season trial in a July

Hi well wisher,
Nice to hear from someone else whose been to most of the matches.I think you make some excellent points, including having some good individual players in the squad. My concern is that our coaches seem to overthink the required tactics for each individual match, even to the point of now leaving out both remaining playmakers in recent matches. I think we can get away with “hoofball” and occasionally get three points, because “ hoofball” is a roll the dice numbers game from which you will get several draws, the odd win and odd loss, which we can no longer risk. So for the second 45 mins at Gloucester I understand we were more or less dominant, but this was against the third worst team in the league? I just hope AL includes either Rogers or Hughes from the start of every game to provide more chances for Margetts on the deck. I fear though that “putting a shift in” and “100% work rate “ will win out in most games resulting in more paint dry football and fewer points gained. I hope you’re right and I admire your enthusiasm. Keep up the impressive travelling support!

So we got that vital 3 points win at last! I wasn’t there so could not possibly comment on the merits of our play but thank goodness we now have a fresh start to see if we can put a winning run together. Lots of draws and the odd loss will no longer suffice if we want to stay in the NLN. Looking at the remaining fixtures ( only 14 remain) and realising we need at least 50 points to be sure of survival, I’ve had a stab at seeing where those points might come from, trying to be realistic and not too optimistic.So here goes and you can tear this apart at your will ( as I know you will any way)!                                   
                             Pts
          Alfreton A Dr   1
         Brackley A Lose 0
         Farsley C H Win 3
         S Shields H Dr.  1
         Blyth Sp. A Dr   1
         Bishops S A Win 3
         Rushall O H Win 3
        Tamworth. H Lose 0
        Scunthorpe A lose 0
        ScarboroughH Dr 1
         Banbury.     A Dr 1
         Peterb Sp.   H Dr 1
         SpennymoorA Dr 1
         Chorley.     H Lose 0

                           Total 16 added to 32 we have = 48 (probably 2 pts short).  Winning 3 Drawing 7 Losing 4

                           This also assumes Margetts plays every game and scores at least seven

             What do you think? - Don’t have sleepless nights-I’m hopefully wrong anyway.
