Watched Football Hurts last night and something TB said struck a chord. Losing to the bottom teams cost us promotion, he said. Some things just don't change.

Anyone know how many away fans there today?

Poor gaffer Norris cause we are a poor club. Not just financially. JJ is -1 par this season in what must be a tedious place to work with the meddlesome cunts on both boards.

If the EPL/FA have cancelled FA Cup replays due to fixture congestion why not just have the EPL clubs not playing in it?

Probably best we just sack the manager, get rid of CC, lose the board, ditch the whole squad, knock the stadium down, move back to KM or share with Corinthian Casuals, make season tickets twenty quid, and start all over again - that’s how shit it’s been apparently…..

Very true nug

I see the Hartlepool fans all turned up at Dorking dressed as Blues Brothers. Even jeff sterling 😂

Up until the Jan transfer window we were entertaining after that its been a struggle. We lacked firepower with Kelly struggling and should have bought 2 strikers which I think we tried to do. Up until the last month I've really enjoyed it. JJ has done what we asked at the beginning of the season and we look well set for next season. Some people will never be happy with him and look to have him out as soon as they can

Don't think it's quite a whole second half of the season thing. We kept things going pretty well after losing Ali, Evans and with Lewis and Johnson out injured. Found a way to pick up points even if not a great watch. The big issue has been the last 7 games - 1 win, 2 draws and 4 defeats. A return of even 10 points - nothing special, around our points per game over the rest of the season - could have seen us in the playoffs. It's not been an especially tough run of games - mostly against teams out of form and/or with nothing to play for. Disappointing that we've looked the worse we have all season at the end of it.

Any idea what preceded the Coop in Carshalton High Street? Not the South Suburban ... but something posh akin to modern day Waitrose. I'm looking at 80s. Discussion with friends over fine food and wine.

I’m definitely in the ‘nice not to have been stressing about relegation’ camp. Too many of those in recent memory. JJ is definitely not the messiah, but enough decent players on the books to have hope for next year. Oh and Josh Kelly - who knew

We will never build on anything with silly bollocks in charge,does he watch a different game to us?

Lakin was criminally underused. Could see a pass and was calm. Could have done with some of that in the second half of the season.

Disappointing second half of the season (with the exception of the end of one particular match) but last August I'd have taken 20ish points off relegation. First season for yonks we haven't been worried about going down. Play-off dosh would have been nice, but overall, well done. Let's build on it in 2024/25.

Charlie Lakin Sutton's club player of the year, his .6 goals in 20 games could of got us a playoff place...

Have to laugh when some are celebrating not being in the relegation battle this season, we have improved a bit,mainly due to a decent keeper and sometimes solid defence. Midfield and attacking quality have been woeful as is the entertainment and nowt style of play

Mackiemill - in all honesty, implicitly rather than explicitly, I think that our ambition does really extend to little more than avoiding relegation and having a decent cup run. To really expect (as opposed to hoping) to push for playoffs or promotion we would need to bring in significant additional budget, to do that we would have to change our governance/ ownership model and that isn't even on the horizon (the whole "50% +1" proposal is about servicing the debt and is premised on not changing the fundamentals of our structure). I think that we are simply hoping to have a year where "it all comes together", like it did when we got promoted under NA, but there isn't really a strategy to make that happen (or if there is it isn't being shared with us). That may be OK for many (in all honesty I didn't enjoy L1 any more than I do L2) but in any case it seems to be where we are.

We’re pretty much nailed on now to finish bottom half of the table again, meaning still just the one top half finish since we got back into the league.

Agree Lurker - but is beating relegation each year our sole ambition?

Worst case is 11 points off play offs and 18 points clear of relegation. So nearer play offs than relegation by some way.

So at least we know we can't end lower than 14th, possibly just above Tranmere. But that's a long way below 7th

Is there a way in which both of these teams could be made to lose this FA Cup semifinal? 🥱

Have the Chelsea players had a bet on city to win?

I feel kinda special that I went to Notts County game now. We were pretty shit and the game was bang average but can't complain based on that stat.

You've already clarified I see nug!
