Aldershot Town 2-2 Braintree Town - Tuesday 14th January 2025 (Match Day Thread)

[IanShots]

Very unlikely at the moment!

The six teams below us aren't exactly pulling up any trees either, only six wins in the previous 30 games!

Let’s see how Boston and Wealdstone get on tonight.

Some of the teams around us and below us will win a few games, but I have no idea if or when we’ll win again!

I think we can be fairly sure that Maidenhead will pick up because Devonshire always finds a way even if involves lots of red cards

Someone needs to pick up the phone to Scott Davis.

It’s Scott Davies, and why?

Because anything is better than this lot!

It’s only a matter of time before somebody snaps him up IMHO, there was rumours about Daggers although that seems to have quietened down.

People questioned why we would go for Hinshelwood some time back….he’s doing rather well.

Doesn’t matter who is in charge, defend on Saturday the same as we did last night and Oldham will score double figures!!

He will respect the club as well and not think he is bigger than it… which is someone we desperately need at the moment

As examples of our malaise I give you (in no particular order):

- An inaccurate and worrying Director appointment at Companies House.
- Zero fan engagement with no forums or new initiatives going on.
- Embarrassing comms with insipid media interviews and last week's debacle.
- A failed stadium re-development plan which includes bulldozing the the East Bank.
- A ground that's crumbling through lack of maintenance, with embarrassing facilities for away fans in particular.
- Huge profits from last season not being re-invested.
- Over-priced and often disgusting food on offer and poorly stocked bars.
- Incompetence, nepotism and favouritism in the football coaching team.
- Our youth development systems no longer being promoted and celebrated as they were.
- A noticeable decline in community and youth engagement projects.
- A concerning number of empty advertising banner 'slots' at the High Street end.
- Community stand usually empty.

I could go on...

Spot on!

Someone has put on Facebook that TW made comments to the crowd (again)?

I’m still shocked he’s at the stadium, let alone getting to the touchline. Is that careless from his superiors?

I can't comment on last night, but he lost me with his outburst after we fluked a win over Bath in the FA Cup. It was embarrassing.

Sadly, I think you could go on Johnboy ... and on and on .....

I don't understand the thinking behind criticising plans to replace the East Bank and on the very next line bemoaning the "crumbling" ground and away fans facilities. You can't do one without the other!

I agree with everything else though...

Not sure we should be throwing an inexperienced teenage academy player in to the starting line up for such an important league match! We reap what we sow, unfortunately.

Like putting Mullins up against Norwood for example. I mean, who in their right mind would think that would be a good idea?

Yup ridiculous.

We say we should be beating these Prem academy teams, but then sign a young defender from one of them…

Very strange!

Relegation would be a disaster but maybe, just maybe it might bring about the changes the Club so desperately needs right from the top down. Look at Torquay and their reviival this season. But then again maybe those in power would just be happy to continue to tread water but at a lower level.

I don't think we can draw a parallel with Torquay as they have had a change of ownership that has breathed new life into the club. I think we would be more likely to resemble Chester or Hereford, unable to muster the resources and unity to mount a proper promotion challenge. I doesn't matter what league we are in, for as long as this Board of Directors is in position we will be run on a shoestring and are going nowhere.

Does your “embarrassing comms” comment include advertising matches online with the wrong kick off time on more than one occasion??

[redblueuptoyou]

Hack - where have you seen these adverts?
