I think we have a strong squad for this league a good manager and assistant. But we have the worst form in a poor league. Somethings not right.

I don't even think it's a poor league. It's probably as good as it ever has been- imo.

As to what's wrong why don't we just go for the very obvious explanation-- injury after injury. If you doubt my view I don't suppose many sane Bournemouth fans would be advocating they sack Eddie Howe.

Don't forget that there are almost certainly only going to be 3 relegation places this year (due to the demise of Bury).

If he hasn’t brought anyone in for Saturday it’s speaks volumes for itself, he’s not being backed by the owner. Why has he only been signing free agents/loan players. Even last summer. Don’t expect any experience Central defenders coming in. If any do, they’ll be another Lloyd James, not played in months and won’t be match fit. Something has to change but it won’t

What a complete joke this thread is!!!!!!! Johnson out? Really!! Give him a 5 year contract IMO!!! TUFC needs stability. From two 'great escapes' to a relegation followed by a terrible start to our National league south campaign. Remember that!!! GJ came in and not only put 1000 back on the gates, lifted the spirit and gave hope to the players and supporters but achieved promotion starting from a 10 point defective!! This season was always about staying in the division and building a squad. Expectations were raised by our winning run which ended due to our horrific run of injury's. Only 6 points (ish) from play offs and people are calling for a change!!!! Short memory's!!!!!!!!!

I think we had at least 8 players out injured yesterday.

If Lloyd James was in Forest Greens first team he wouldn't be coming here would he? as usual you are being unrealistic.

Totally agree Fred - great post. I reckon about 99% of supporters would agree with this. :clap:

Brucie,.spot on!

Anyone who wants GJ out is a mug. He won us promotion and we are mid table with an injury hit squad.

Promote then consolidate, promote then consolidate.

We are TUFC after all and insisting on back to back promotions is nonsensical. Yes it would be good, but we need a settled club and then we can build over time.

I must agree with Dazza.
I think the National League is as strong if not stronger than ever before.
More than half the 24 teams have been in the Football League in the past.
Given that the vast majority are I believe Full Time I wonder if the day will ever come when the Football League has a League 3?

I don't see this as that good a league this year. The fact everyone seems capable of beating anyone makes it a competitive division but not strong in my opinion. At full strength we could easily have been pushing for top spot or play-offs at the least yet I still feel our squad has limitations.

I've always felt that Notts County would inevitably win it and still think they'll emerge as Champions. Yeovil will also be there or thereabouts.

I'm not at all sure about there being only 3 relegation places this year (from the National League) - only one club is coming down from the Football League as a result of Bury's demise, but two clubs are still going up from the National League. However I stand to be corrected! Bu the way I agree with those posters who think that this whole thread is an absolute joke - Gary Johnson is a wily old fox who will get things right by the end of the season.

So if 4 are relegated that leaves the league a club short doesn't it? Unless Bury are put in the National League which goes against every single precedent.
