Well it didn't appear to be a page out of the textbook on motivation and management. Far from it. Dispensing with the services of a popular player just before kick off was inexplicable especially when it was clear that the squad was on the floor after a a defeat midweek at Weston.
It doesn't give me much confidence in our management team.
The 1-0 defeat at home to Basingstoke has certainly made the playoffs harder to reach. We have to win at least 8 of 12 games remaining.
I am obviously hoping that the players and management pick themselves up and do this but with a couple of tough games coming up I am not confident.
It is going to be a hard ask at leaders Bromley this weekend but what a perfect time to show that we are a talented squad......
I will be listening to the game with the Northern exiles at the Port Street bar starting at 1 p.m. in Manchester this coming Saturday.
Tonight City play Cheddar in the Somerset Cup. With such a weakened first team squad I am expecting Jim Rollo to be the lynchpin of a development squad 11.
Talking to Bob Chester I know that preparations for the community day on 22 March are well under way. Please spread the word as it should be an enjoyable day with a big crowd. You can 'pay what you like'!
Let's hope the players keep us in contention with a couple of miraculous results against Bromley and the Ebbsfleet.
