Match Thread vs. Stockport County 15.12.20 [NL]

I thought with what he'd learnt last season then we'd be the one in Torquays position now which to me feels like a fail. Having said that you can't for certain say we won't go up especially after the game the other night as that was a big win and will give the players alot of confidence plus we'll have Thomas and Roberts back which should make us more creative. Things are in the balance, could go tits up or could go well but too early this season yet to give a definitive answer.

I believe we got to the 20 point mark after 11 games, one more than I hoped so he (just) failed that start to the season target.

On paper we've had an easy start, although as commented by many anyone can beat anyone and all the sides near the top or expected promotion candidates have lost at home to the unfancied smaller teams.

Personally I think he's done pretty well so far with recent signs of improvement, but not much more than that tbh. The manager and players should be frustrated and annoyed we haven't got a few more points but we there or thereabouts at this stage.

If we were mid-table at this point of the season with 5/6 less points then serious questions should be being asked. But we aren't and haven't really been all season#IN

I would grade the start to the season a B-. If we had lost to Stockport it would have been a C+ at best, fine lines. That's why I have little time for big overreactions after each game, well that's what Stall and myself think anyway.

B- seems a fair mark. We should have drawn the two home games we lost and should have won the two away games we drew - that’s 6 points we carelessly threw away. Let’s just hope we now build on the Stockport result and go on a long winning streak the way Barrow did last season.

The ridiculous statement is that you think my post is full of spin. Please go ahead point out where? I sense you are merely looking for a needles arguement#sadtimes

Whilst you are doing that I'll have a read through some of the comments during the match I'm sure there are yet more (negative) beauties in there. Desperately trying to highlight the bad and ignore the good. Always entering to read after a victory

Plus I'm sure I will spot a definite change in tone from soon

I'm going back to work. You make me pi$s myself with that statement. I wasn't even on last night.
Your spining it that wining is always Ardleys doing but losing you blame the players on the pitch when posters blame Ardley.
Who is highlighting the bad & ignoring the good?
I have mentioned a weakness that causes our own problems & praised a player that i think we will be lucky to hold on to
