We had a way of playing, with the personnel available, that really worked for us in the National League and still worked for most of the first half of this season as we rode the momentum wave of promotion, but opponents at this level have "worked us out" and are noticeably better not only at disrupting our style but also exploiting it to score goals against us.

That means going through a process of gradually adapting both the way we play, and the personnel in the squad, to improve our competitiveness at this level. Scott Robertson and Lewis Macari are more combative players than some of our previous recruits, and we will need more incoming, especially in the centre-half position, but they won't all be brought in at once.
I hate the saying but “we are where we are” I’ve no doubt in retrospect the club wished they’d brought in a couple of strong defenders in the summer as the winter transfer window is always difficult.
They will know this and there’s little point harping on about it now.
SM now has the simple task now of getting what he can out of the group in that we can’t add now like the last few seasons.
I think performance wise away he’s improved it and tbh it’s been more individual mistakes costing us at home.
I really hope the fans get behind them and if people want to boo, then boo but I’d wish they’d use their head and showed a bit of backbone that it’s not going to help, it’s easy being positive when winning all the time but nows the time to get behind the team.
