I like a hell of a lot of those sentiments Jackal, although I wish the interviewer had asked the pertinent obvious question regarding team selection. But it was the usual softly softly local radio station line of questioning. His team selection was risky and backfired. He's responsible for that part of the poor performance, the other half is on the players (bar 1 or 2).

Or the alternative view is players might have knocks and didnt risk them ?

Its easy after the event but in his shoes its not always simple.

Its a poor result cant sugar coat it.

A 3-0 win away at Dover should have ensured an unchanged team.
Yes, juggle the bench to bring injured players back but it must be very demoralising for those dropped.
We hear all the talk of giving players a rest but hopefully we have 6 games left this season in the next 35 days.
If they don't get injured or suspended then they shouldn't need a rest.

People need to stop the word dropped it is a squad game now it isnt like it was 10-15 years ago.

I disagree if sports science say there could be an issue fitness you have to go with it IB mentioned it.

If we get promoted nobody cares we lost at Aldershot.

I think we as fans need to back the club/squad if we fail to go up we fail.

Yes I agree that if we fail we fail but the consequences of that failure is likely to be enormous, especially with what is happening elsewhere in the county. We could be 4 (yes four) divisions below Florest and 2 below Mansfailed. We will I fear become a non-league club, not a league club that happens to be in the wrong division. We have had nearly 3 years of this new business model and it hasn't got us very far yet. In fact if we don't go up we are likely to start next season minus 50 goals (Wootton, Rodrigues & Roberts)
Mathematically we could finish as high as 3rd or as low as 11th. 3rd and 4th are probably gone and 8th is a distinct possibility if we don't get 6 points out of our last 3 games. In fact, even if we win all our last 3 games it doesn't guarantee 5th.
As you can probably tell I am on a real downer today. I hope I feel better by 5 o'clock.

Yes we have played some nice attractive football at times this season but there is nothing attractive about losing 4-1 at home to Woking or 5-1 away to Southend or 3-1 to Aldershot

I don't believe 4 players from that Dover game were injured. Unless injuries or suspensions force his hand he has to play his best team every match from now on and to hell with squad rotation for rotations sake.

Couldn't agree more.
Saturday was a MUST WIN, the chance of grabbing 3rd represented a tripling of the play-off promotion odds. Home to Dover was the only time he should've thought about rotation.

Richardson out, DKE in
Brunt picked. Why?
No recognised striker on the pitch. One of Sam, Wootton, Mitchell has to play. This shows he really shows he thinks he can do the same as 'Pep'!
Has Nemane really done enough to justify being ahead of Eli?
What about continuity of system, let alone personnel...

The result of being too clever/arrogant with all of the above - Part-timers (Aldershot are, aren't they?) thrash us...
