Two successful fights against the drop, followed by the relegation when we were well and truly sunk even before the season ended. When Davis led us into the new L2 season at the start of 2016, I for one was not optimistic of automatic promotion straight back into L1. My fears were soon realised that we were on a downward spiral heading towards another relegation. Thankfully, the tactically naïve (as some describe him now) Artell, came along and rescued us from that fate. Hopefully, he will do the same again. I believe that our problems right now go far deeper than the team manager. The board need to take a long hard look at how the football club is run once this season ends.
    What I meant was, supporters will look back and say
    We lost 0-1 to A but hit the post twice
    We dominated B and conceded in the last minute
    We missed a penalty against C
    The ref was crap, disallowed a goal against D for no reason
    We were 2-0 up with 10 mins to go
    And several other near misses.
    And after all that, we only got relegated on goal difference, and look what happened to.....Newport (for example) the following season, so next year, well piss it.
    That's what I meant!

    Thanks for the clarification, Jimmy. I get your drift. We might not see many more games for a while after tomorrow, judging by the weather forecast. Snow and ice.
