All this talk of lack of match fitness just won't wash. The start of the season saw statements being made that with the management team running a football fitness business, our team would be the fittest part-timers in the league. Now we appear to be excusing some very poor performances by saying the players concerned are not fit! We cannot sacrifice the opportunity to gain some point just to give players, like KSA, a run in the starting lineup to get match fit.

It was one of the management team that admitted that Kabba is/was not fully fit!
When a player has missed all pre season and the first four months of the season it would be common practice to send him out on loan somewhere at a lower level to attain some match fitness. However in our case we put the bloke straight in the first XI for our biggest match of the season after one 20 minute sub appearance a week before?!?!
I have no clue how they can change the pattern now......Conf South time I think
Lowest scorers in a league go down. The situation is becoming desperate although the league position is still recoverable...if the club are serious about maintaining National League status. However the excitement of fairly recent times has well and truly eroded away.
