It's feels better to have a roller coaster last game of the season at the right end of the table for a change. I guess if we don't do it the pain will still cut as deeply. Hope we receive some divine help. Come on Alty and come on Rovers! I want to be drinking to celebrate come Saturday night not drowning sorrows!!

I'll be disappointed that we haven't made it (assuming we don't) but particularly if we win the game tomorrow, I will at least be pleased we did our part of what we needed to do on the day and we go again next season - hopefully stronger and wiser from a year in this League!

Whilst that post sums up what we are up against every week!
Who cares what side they put out? We got the win - it may have only been 1-0 but could have been more. People have moaned that we have failed to beat 'Pub Teams' (see my other thread about that) but when we do beat a side that is also apparently weaker than us it's still not good enough - it's pretty much laughable!

For me the Kidderminster game sticks in my mind what sums it all up.

If we win games people are happy and to insinuate that wouldn't be the case is a naive comment.

Let's get it in perspective, thanks to an own goal we beat Grimsbys reserves.

Jennings scored against Grimsby.

So we don't count own goals or penalties as being of any use it seems? What next? Only goals from outside the area are any good?

They DID have something to play for. This was their chance to impress their manager and to get a place in their playoff team. Also to show him that they are worth a new contract probably.

The standard of Norwood'S penalties have been top notch by and large. To say that they are not ''good goals'' is ludicrous.

Bloody Nora you literally can't say anything on here if it's not in favour of the club, all I said was let's not get carried away beating Grimsby reserves. Which is a more than fair comment.

I never mentioned penalties and things, as a matter of fact I've made many comments in defence of his Penos this year on other threads, I'm also more than quite aware personally of the fine margins involved in professional sport all be it away from soccer, and what goes on behind the scenes and the difference in success and failure and what success and failure is.

If we are going to be so serious about it, yes we beat Grimsby you can only beat who turns up on the day and you can not alter what anybody else does on the pitch. A manager can't control his players he can only advise. Yes there can be many things to play for both as an individual and a team both intrinsic and extrinsic.

There are a variety of ways to mangage, you can be a dynamic leader, a dictator, a pacifist blah blah.

Every sportsman or woman needs targets, short term, long term and adaptable, Targets are pointless if they are not constantly assessed and reassessed. In order to have a target you must have a base line performance indicator to begin with and be aware of the performers limitations when setting the target, I.e it must be realistic and you mustn't get carried away.

Chill. I was just,what I thought was,politely disagreeing with your comment. It was nothing to do with ''not being in favour of the club''.The Grimsby match was basically a non event once we knew Braintree were leading.It was like somebody had @#$%& our balloon-everything was totally deflated. So we basically went through the motions for the rest of the game. But I still think that the Grimsby ''reserve'' players had something to play for.

The article in tonights Echo regarding ''stability at the club'' would sound sensible if it was stated as the view of somebody other than Brabin. To me he's just trying first and foremost to defend his own position

Fair enough hoots. I really can't decide on Brabin, he says some good things and some complete bone head things, he does some good things and some complete bone head things. I'm not sure if stability is key, there's different thoughts on it but as you say if it came from someone other than him. I hear some good things about him as a bloke from people around the place. I prefer to think of him as Homer, not because he looks like Simpson senior, he does, but because I think he means well and deep down he knows the right thing he just doesn't seem to think before he speaks.

I am going through one of those periods with Brabin where it almost feels like he's actively doing things to upset people like me [who haven't called for him to go] to turn us against him. He's making a fine job of it at the moment.
