Rubbish. I think we’re better suited to the Championship than League One. Should have won 3 or 4 nil today. One of those games.

Agreed.

Of course we'd need a few additions but confident we'd stay up with this team and manager.

We're also not slow, some just still don't understand the style because they refuse to learn.

If you don’t think this team is slow - walking half of the time then I wonder what you are watching . Don’t kid yourself this is a poor league , I am happy we are top but I have big concerns for next year .

Walking is not slow, it's a tactic.

It's part of a possession/assessment build up. Once a build up is initiated, we are NOT slow.

I think your being a bit blinkered there, we have some pace in our team, Davies, Ashford, Kpakio and JC to name a few, but our tactics are not over the top lobs for a player to run onto, if it were then you would see the pace, we build up and play short through balls not long ones.

Let’s finish this season first before worrying about next season - we need a left back in January at least for cover for Bagan, then maybe 1 or 2 others. Thats my immediate concern, as teams around us will probably recruit so we need that cover also.

The team will be quite a bit better next year due to maturity and cementing the way we play, the squad is very young so as long as we can keep them and a few additions in the summer I believe we will surprise quite a few next season, but lets get this season finished first.

Just saw a clip of one of our moves against Stevenage, how anyone can say we move the ball slowly after this, I'll try to include the link below

We have played 3 teams from higher divisions this season Winning two and losing one So it shows they can play this type of football and win against teams in higher division
