Two defeats in 14. 7 goals conceded in 14. Says it all. Fletch has turned this club around and proven all his doubters wrong. So I'm only too glad to eat a massive slab of humble pie and congratulate Fletch for an absolutely outstanding run of form. Every position in the team has been strengthened beyond recognition, not just by transfers but also by a marked improvement from players like Berry, who at the start of the season looked like a write-off of a signing. Fletch has got the best out of his players, whilst signing the right personnel for the task in hand.
It was reasonable to doubt the appointment of a 31 year old midfielder, but Brent and others behind the scenes obviously knew he was a good'un. The cynic in me thought this might be a money-oriented appointment. Perhaps finances played a small part in the rationale for the appointment, but any motion that James Brent made the appointment on a carefree whim to save money now seems remarkably fanciful.
We're not safe until it's mathematical, but I'm now enthusiastic about the prospect of League Two next season with Fletch at the helm, and trust him to sign the right players in the Summer. My only niggling doubts are about our strike-force, but the gaffer is learning quick and I'm confidant he'll sort that out, and as long as we keep on defending like this then frankly we don't need to score that many!
Fletch's Green and White Army - sounds good! I've always been behind the team, and never shouted my negative views at matches even when I thought that we desperately needed a change. I think it's important that fans are reasonably critical of goings on at the club which is why I'd never apologise for my views, but I'm only too glad to admit that I know next to fudge all about football and got this one wrong!
