This is my worry too, Aldershot was on and that was about as bad as it is now so I imagine the groundsman are already out especially because its on TV

A Review of or Squad after 14 League Games.
I think a lot of people are being overly critical given the circumstances.
We have lost 45 goals from last years Outgoings to which we only got £50k back for them, thats not including the goals we weren't conceding because of our defenders and keeper, I'd say an estimate of 25 goals have been added to the goals against column because of this.
Now please tell me how any manager is meant to replace the football league talent that contributed 45 goals, defenders/keepers that stopped about 25 goals all on a £50k budget?
Have these signings worked? Not all of them but we aren't a prime location for quality players to come down and ply their trade when they can go to a major city to do it.
I believe some of these players will come good and make a difference but that was never going to happen from the start when you bring in 10+ into the squad.
Lastly, this team is currently built for a back 5 formation purely based on how the team is, people wanting a back 4 need to realise that each formation has to have the right players to have the formation work.

I have said this before but being full time does not mean professional and that is so true of United, the manager cannot be interviewed by anyone that might ask him a question he does not know the answer to, we have players signed for a week on loan that are not announced until an hour before kick off where due to the current ticketing arrangements can have no positive effect on the crowd.
On a personal level ,six weeks ago I asked for a refund on my seasons cost of the in house commentaries, not much money I know but it was so poor and kept going off line because the string kept breaking between the two cans, so they were not supplying what they promised, I have asked them nicely, two more weeks then its off to the county court, I will not waste my time trying to get them to answer the phone.
Are you okay in the head? How much can the yearly commentary be? A county court will laugh in your face and continue laughing until you wall out of court

Retained list out!
I think people have set unrealistic expectations for this team.
We are a small market team that can't pay fee's that the team like Wrexham can, GJ has worked miracles with what is a very small transfer/wage budget.
