Totally agree. He was actually a real unsung hero of the Devonshire years, as was Graham Harper to some extent.

I know he has to stay relentlessly positive but come on...if we lose to Lewes next week I wonder if questions might start to be asked.

Re: Yeovil

Yeovil's keeper didn't have to make a proper save until about the 85th minute.

Re: Yeovil

Yeovil do look like they don't belong in this league. However I thought we were putting up a fairly valiant effort until they scored their first goal, which was a fabulous shot. But in all honesty since then they have gone up yet another gear and it really does portray just where we really are. It'...

Re: FA Cup

I'm glad it's Lewes, a great awayday, good ground, nice town. Might even make it a weekender. The game itself is a bit loseable though...

Re: FA Cup

Well where to start with that one...we simply weren't very good. In a disjointed and misfiring performance we didn't always look secure and when the inevitable goal was given away by what looked like a bit of a calamitous defensive mix up, the game could have swung either way, as Southall tried hard...

Re: Those Were The Days; 15th September 2014

I do remember that, at his first press conference, he said he was coming in to a relegation situation, which seems rather premature in early September. Presumably a case of getting his excuses in early so he couldn't be blamed whatever happened. Mind you, we had just been dumped out the FA Cup by V...

I was under the impression he took over during a close season. Funny how I can remember stuff from the 80s and 90s seasons much more clearly than this era...
