Wild Bill wrote:So after two must win games, we have only one point. Its easy to predict relegation at this stage but let's try and find some hope out of a difficult position. I actually think our squad is as strong as it ever has been. Perhaps with the new additions and a few matches we might get stronger in the last few games. Plus some games against mid table teams. Could three wins and a draw or two be enough? Let's keep fighting

We won't even be a big fish in league 2...

We wont even be a big fish in league 2, a reality check is needed, so a new owner, new manager with fresh ideas , and a season where we are looking up instead of down might be fun.

Maybe not too bad if Derek can finally be clear of the players he inherited on long contracts, some of whom have been paid for doing nothing for months due to injuries or simply not being good enough for L1 or being out of form.
He's performed miracles three times now (avoiding relegation from L2, promotion to L1, avoiding relegation from L1), so I think he deserves the chance for a bit of continuity and being able to chose his own team. Even without an increase in player budget, he may do better just by getting the "dead wood" off the wage bill.

Really? Or are you making stuff up again? Can you provide evidence that you are basing this on? When has Dave Salmon been 'turned on'?

As we ponder our league 1 survival and discuss what the future holds for our beloved club, poor old AFC Telford United who’s ground is almost identical to the Mazuma along with 1 open side are on the verge of relegation from the conference north to the northern or southern premier league. So when you think things are bad, and we are at our highest ever position along side teams such as Sheffield Wednesday & Derby, think where we could be

No need for me to provide any evidence, you and others do that for me with your constant pining for the good old days. Dave has had a lot of stick and has mentioned it himself on Twitter. I don't make things up so don't try and belittle me with that.
