I don't know if the time it took for someone to post on this and the subsequent lack of contributions reflects apathy (suspect so), but yes much improved as you say Len. It's frustrating we're so inconsistent. I think will continue to see this as we play out the remainder of the campaign in mid-table.
Now the SE27 Dagger
Lack of comments on the game is probably also reflective of the lack of people there, driven away by this terrible season. 2 months without a home win before yesterday. Glad we won as it keeps us away from relegation, but Bradbury has to go immediately if we want to make anything out of next season.
This seemed almost inevitable as the social media chatter calling for the manager to go began to increase following a poor Christmas and New Year... we pull out a decent victory to quiet the sacking talk for a short period and then almost inevitably will go back to a 'no win in 5' situation and the talk will continue again until the end of the season.
That the opposition were higher than us in the table prior to yesterday old me everything I needed to know about just how badly we have underperformed since August... Everything was there for this club to get an immediate promotion back up to the National League but the signings, management and lack of clarity around ownership sunk us almost from day one... I am deliberately ignoring the injuries as our recruitment has bought in perennially unavailable players for much of the last decade.

As previously said the recruiting since we were relegated from league 2 has been abysmal, a number of players on their way out looking for one last payday and dragging down the mood in the dressing room, this has been highlighted by some decent players who were forced out of the club at the end of last season. The only way to rebuild is to go part time and attract young hungry players who are willing to work hard and play for the badge, look at most of the teams visiting Victoria Rd this season, part time and running rings around us. I didn’t renew my season ticket this season and don’t regret it, im just choosing what home games to attend and enjoying a few away games.

Just listened to reggie youngs interview `we have such a big squad with so many good players`.
its clear the manager is not good enough and I've had enough too, ST holder and I didn't go last night.

The interviews with the manager and players are a complete waste of time, they are pre-scripted and apart from occasional injury updates, tell us absolutely nothing. The number of times we have been told ‘ it has been a good week in training’ and how ‘good and dangerous the opposition will be when we face them’.It is never going to happen when the manager is asked deep and meaningful questions that might require a thoughtful and informative answer.Pondfield Dagger wrote: Wed Jan 21, 2026 5:13 pm Just listened to reggie youngs interview `we have such a big squad with so many good players`.

We need to pack them in entirely or give us something worth listening to but to continue in this manner is totally pointless.
