That's my thinking to. It's well worth a try.Quite impressed with Cook when he came on today.Also he was very unlucky not to score last thursday night.  I've liked Tonka when ever he has played.




Cook and Tonka was played on Thursday, would still give them another go as I felt there was promise there I felt that too often they were occupying the same areas and did not run off each other enough for me.

While people may feel we are poor, poorest team to go up if we do it?  I think not, we are hardly flying at the minute but at this level it is all about getting out of it, judging by some of the posts on here we are playing worse now then when we finished 11th and lost 14 times! Does anyone really think that this leagues has got that much worse that in 3 years we ae 11 points better off with 4 games left to play?

No, It makes you his best mate  



Well also a season ticket holder never met Lew but agree entirely with him but just one point we did play well at home to Kidderminster and I enjoyed game against Woking. However, for much of the rest it has been woeful and hence some of our more constructive posts on other threds on some actions which PH could take which would demonstrate he is developing as a coach, which is something we all want.

As someone who hasn't missed a home game this season I can tell you that we've been poor for the most parts of this season, so no we're not really flying at the minute and haven't been since Christmas , but as I've just said on another post, we're making hard work of it IMO.

Three points is all that matters at the moment. Playoffs when we get there and we will are like cup finals. I have no worries whatsoever.

Rodley is right - negativity will only hurt our chances when we are so close to making the play-offs. Having said that though, the question at the back of my mind is this - are we good enough to beat a Cambridge side that has got its mojo back? That's the yardstick, they must be form favourites to go up. At some stage we would almost certainly have to play them and beating them means turning chances into goals. And by the look of things the other sides won't be pushovers either.

I can agree with that then and say we have never been flying this season, but my point is suggesting that it will be a miracle if we go up and if we do we are the poorest team ever to do it is extreme.  This league is a tough one as we can see by how much teams relegated from league 2 sturggle but if we finish 3rd we have improved on last year and massess on the two years previous to that.  I cannot believe that the quality of the confernce has decreased that much, if we get promoted (and I agree we will have to improve and are not favourites) we will be as good as any other team to have gone up via the playoffs, ie. as good as is necessary.

Who knows whether we would play Cambridge or not though?

Assuming they finish up runners-up then unless we drop to 5th place there are no guarantees we would have to meet them
as we'd be in a 3rd v 4th tie and it is absolutely not a given that they'd beat whoever they do face in the semis

In reply to the O.P ...we did not play that bad today, certainly engineered more chances than of late, first half saw plenty created but wayward shots and some over elaborate interplay our downfall.
Second half was the difference, they made changes at half time and took the momentum, and this is my current gripe with Hurst, slow to make substitutions when we slow down or lose momentum, perhaps this is as a result of not having an assistant to maybe chirp into his ear a bit.
We just dont have a Plan B.,thats my worry.
