We don't need to play Cheshunt yet, the postponement gives our suspended and injured players time to return and be available for league games, quite handy really.

 

At least Jones is back and seems to be playing well and disciplined. Not surprised Basti got a red v's Billericay, he has been border line for one all season as has Tickner(when playing). Roll on Saturday, I hope our boys get the 3pts, they and we need a boost.

I dont think that anything can be taken for granted with the current management team.

 

There is no doubt that the players are capable of beating Ilford however I have seen nothing yet from SM that fills me with confidence.

 

I can only compare and hope that the current situation at the Town is similar, though to a lesser scale, to the situation at Man U when Ferguson came. If people will recall Man U were struggling for the first year or so and fans were calling for the wily scots head. Well now fans are calling for SM's head but he has a 3 year plan.

 

I agree with you Arky that if we dont beat Ilford then things are desperate but even if we do I still believe that things are desperate. SM has had only 4 months of this season and it is my view we dont have to do anything hasty now. I think I would have sacked him after Chatham but the purple patch that followed saved his bacon.

 

There are 6 games left this year including Wabbey at Christmas. It seems to me that 10 points could put us mid table. If SM achieves that and we beat WABBEY I will have had a good end of year. If he doesn't then the board should make the decision that he leaves.

 

Clearly 10 points is eminently achievable. It is only just over half the number that are available.

Happy,

In my opinion, SM has not got a clue regarding matters like that.

Jones played "okay" last night, but made some rash tackles

( and was fouled a few times ) but he kept abusing the Ref and got booked. At 3 - 1 down why not take him off rather than risk a second yellow and another ban - okay it did not happen, BUT.......

Nor is SM seen to either motivate, direct or change tactics from the bench.

There is no plan B during a game.

Poor tactical awareness.

Totally agree Mr H, Jim was never one to be up off the bench shouting orders & or encouraging, and Pete, well every other word was feck and most of his shouting was aimed at officials.

We need to see someone on the bench with some passion who can shout instructions, encourage & motivate from the side, rather than just sit back & hope things go well.
George Borg for me is the best i've seen, and how we could use someone like him now.

Jones was booked for protesting when he was raked down the back of his leg and when he was used as a step ladder both incidents yards in front of the ref and both went without a word from the ref.
