Do we need ten games to realise how bad we are?

Can't ever see us being able to challenge again - we missed the boat and there aint another coming along soon though even if we had succeeded in regaining our league status it wouldn't have taken long for us to drop back down again.
We did that once before didn't we and everyone one of us thought the club would ever again take our FL status for granted. Now we find ourselves stagnating at the next level down and doing exactly the same thing.

In ten years time where will this club be? (that's if we haven't all been nuked by Putin). Probably quite likely fighting to survive the drop from the Southern league having moved from a recently demolished Plainmoor, to a multi to a purpose built complex with a 5g football pitch and a football club that's barely sustainable but created to appease a local minority. Fiction ? Well maybe but look what happened to Darlington, Macclesfield and Bury etc.

Take a look up into the night sky and choose a star - any star. The dimmest one among many billions represents TUFC in the football world where once I saw us as one of the brighter stars.

Let’s try to put a positive spin on being bottom with eight points from ten games.

We have played four at home and six away whereas quite a few of our rivals have played six at home and four away. That should give us an advantage - ignoring the fact that our home form is even worse than our away form.

We have played six of the top eight, three of the middle eight and just one of the bottom eight.

Our next four games are three at home to teams in the bottom eight, and one away to a middle eight.

Where we stand in four games’ time will give a better indication of how we rank against our fellow stragglers.

We could do with a minimum of six points from four games, or things will really look bleak.

In the interests of optimism, I will ignore Pete F’s very valid observation that we are very lucky to actually have eight points, whereas performances to date probably merited about three.

In fact, I will spin it as a positive. The fact we are in touch with so many other teams having played as badly as it is possible for us to play must mean we will storm up the table when we start being a bit less crap.
