Last night I just sat and sat , probably numbed by the realisation that we are going down.
Madgull suggests we are short on confidence,understandable comment, but actually more relevant, we are and have been short on quality and experience all season and that is what keeps you in this league.
I believe Johnson has now used every throw of the dice and while he continues to plod on with more changes of formation and personnel we all know where this is heading, even if the miracle happens and the first team manages to play the remaning eleven games the obstacle that is safety is out of our hands.
The logic of starting another poll on johnson stay or go had some benefit before christmas but now it is pointless. Every club johnson has been at starts with promotion highs and unreal expectations and ends in relegation.
We have comments of no forward on the bench and koszela should be brought in, not even sure whether he is out of plaster after his ankle break and besides if we had to rely on him on past showings I would certainly tear up my season ticket.
So on to saturday where I will look forward to a pint of Brynn's probably more than the match.

For the second game in a row we have clawed our way back into a game and then casually thrown it away. After a dispiriting first half of hoofball and three attempts with one on target we managed to stir ourselves to make 9 attempts in the second half, four on target, hit the bar and scored the solitary goal before switching off and gifting them the winner.

That knocked the stuffing out of the side and there were no further attempts in the 13 minutes remaining. Bromley just coasted to the win.

The only players to come out of the game with their heads up were Jarvis, Evans and Lawrence. Some of the others were just plain average but there were three standout shockers - McGavin, Halstead and Donellan. The latter has had his moments in other games but what a shocking tackle to give them the penalty and what was Halstead thinking rolling the ball out to the opposition? I struggle to see what McGavin brings to any game - how the hell he keeps being picked God only knows. I almost think we would be better playing with 10 players than having him in the team.

I struggle to see how we are going to put the necessary run of results together so I think relegation is now almost certain. Depressed and angry.
