Well here we are with just over five weeks until Christmas with some pretty tough fixtures ahead. Big game on Saturday which will see us without Smith and Hurst but maybe Fairhurst will be knocking on the door, not sure about Gerring though. The player options are pretty thin on the ground and even a draw for this match would be an excellent outcome. Trouble is we really need to win games and form does not back this up. Must be one of the worst sets of results ever for TUFC? Just have to pray for a miracle but not sure we are going to be blessed with such fortune!

More bad news with the abandonment of Seale Hayne - another step into oblivion it would appear. Now starting to believe that club has no real leadership and will be dead in the near future - serial incompetence continues!

When ignorance reigns! Seale Hayne is not fit for purpose between November and March, it's dead rent! The old board wouldn't listen to what needed to be done and messed it up wasting hundreds of thousands of pounds, to keep throwing money at it is just stupid!

I'd tend to agree with Aussie on this. Thea's cash made it possible for us to spend money on making a number of costly and bad decisions that we would have been better off not having made in the first place.
The overriding concern these days seems to be to reduce the considerable flow of money out of the club that could possibly be putting the whole football club's survival in jeopardy, and perhaps Reg should view this as part of the solution happening and not just a new problem.
We have struck lucky in being able to recruit an excellent young manager willing to work for peanuts, but in many other respects there are huge problems to overcome, and the Seale Hayne decision could well be an example of desperate times demanding desperate measures. |

Problem is - every time we think we have reached rock bottom, some new issue is unfurled - just don't think there is much more bad news that can be absorbed. Sure there have been genuine mistakes but there have also been cataclysmic errors and the club does not appear to have learnt anything and just bumbles on. The whole point of being TUFC will soon be futile - end game!

It is all really depressing isn't it? My heart's in TUST as the final fallback. I don't want TUFC to become FCTU but if we did I wouldn't change my attitude, as it would still be my club whatever league we were in.
Just wish I could be at home games to pay my money into our coffers rather than into others more local to me now. Suppose I need to visit my Mum more and drag my current partner along for more misery than she has already suffered with me at our away matches (she still doesn't forgive me for York!).

Now we will see Guisley's form improve I suspect! Hurst will be our loss in terms of a player with ability and Guisle's gain. His replacement .... Errrrrrr hamstrung out for a couple of games. You just couldn't make it up really . Next headline will probably be that Fairhurst is injured due to returning to first team action prematurely! Things can only get better?  |

One of the few members of the current squad that had any talent (7 goals?) - can the club confirm the exact reason(s) for his exit? Not even the sight of Reg bearing his arse in Tescos (perhaps he could raise money for the club by doing so)can raise my spirit. Thank God I've got the Samaritans on fast dial.* *Trying to inject a bit of humour into a club struggling for survival in the Ocean (think Perfect Storm) rather than besmirch what fine work they undertake. |

After the dreadful news bites this week relating to TUFC just now thinking everything may be wound up in the not too distant future as the past glories become consigned to football history - suspect matters financial are on a knife's edge with no reserves left in the tank. Sad times indeed.

Not a great result against Lincoln but will muster up enthusiasm to pop down to Braintree next Saturday - at least it should be possible to gauge the progress since last season. Was there for the 0-2 loss and to witness an utterly abject TUFC performance! Is KN's track record doomed to become worse than CH's? Wonder who we will get in the FA Trophy and if we will get past our first game!

A good thing in my mind. Will give Fairhurst a chance to work on match fitness, as well as Marsh whilst he is out. Also give the defence some much needed practice in a 'game' situation! |

That should be an easy one to answer in that judging CH's worth in terms of salary, plus the wages that his squad were pocketing each week should indicate that they should be vastly superior to the bargain basement squad Kev selects from each week. If you're fielding the Bideford centre half and a teenage keeper who have never been on the same side together before, there's a greater chance of a costly mistake or two than if you have a goalkeeper with the experience of Ricey, or table topping Cheltenham's inspirational captain at centre half.
Of course KN should be doomed to having a much worse record than CH, and it's because of this that the vast majority of the Plainmoor crowd are still giving Nico all the support they can. If the people who put this squad together (Cox & Ramshaw) couldn't stop it falling into the relegation zone, despite having the additional help of a very reasonably paid 'Director Of Football' for most of their tenure, then it's doubly tough for someone who most probably wouldn't have signed the vast majority of those players currently under contract who have disappointed us so much.
For this season I'd just like to see the club survive and for Nico and the players to eventually achieve a track record that by season's end keeps us up. |

Wonder who we will get in the FA Trophy and if we will get past our first game! Well CH got us to 61pts and to the semi final of the trophy last season. If whoever is in charge by the end of this season gets anywhere near that with this bunch of players they will have performed miracles in my opinion. Welling just avoided relegation with 45pts last season and even that figure seems rather a long way off at the moment. |
