Thanks for the write up Steve. I think 3.5 is a bit harsh on Slocombe as he couldn't do anything for any of the goals bar the 2nd where I think he could have done better. So conceding the first goal at the near post was ok then? The only improvement was DC in his attitude to the interviewer. The arrogance is starting to dissipate now. As they say, don't be insulting on the way up, or you get it back on the way down.

Not really anything more Slocombe could have done as the angle was cut down anyway.

As they say, don't be insulting on the way up, or you get it back on the way down. I imagine a few journalists that DC has recently told are writing rubbish are sniggering up their sleeve now and must be looking forward to interviewing him st the moment. Big test for him as a man and a manager now. He's done well to get us into the football league and then promotion from the Fourth Div. it's a whole new world for him now. i can't imagine how it would be achieved but he would really benefit from a Lennie Lawrence type in the background. It would seem he needs someone to help manage the owners currently to get new players in. We've signed mediocre third division players to support fourth division players and guess what.....we're a mediocre third division team. The way the standards have stretched between the leagues means that to get ppromotion to the championship requires plavers that have played at that standard or have that potential. There will be exceptions on occasion but we're a long way from that at the moment. We have good honest players and a good honest manager both of which are capable of mistakes. It will be the owner that decides how much progress we make and us fans that decide what we are happy to accept......

Just a few years ago we had a team full of 'higher standard' players who didn't perform and we ended up in the Conference. - Along came DC and he signed hungry lower divn players and we won two promotions. He and the owners will get it right - and remember - we only come good later in the season - be patient
