Tamworth Away

[Auntie Merge]

Just to let you know there is a weather warning for Staffordshire for Saturday of heavy snow.
Don't know how accurate it is.

[Diggerthedog]

They have a 3G pitch game should be on, 12c up there come kick off.

[Dagdale]

Main issue could be the gusts at around kick off time 50mph, on xcweather normally quite accurate just looks like that and rain but what can you do if you book very early on trains, you've just gotta go for it and hope you can get back, we've all had some of these experiences before like Halifax stuck a mile from the ground midday, off and get more beers in! Plastic pitch might be a slight blessing perhaps but should imagine it will certainly effect our away following. Pity really as a new ground to most fans and seems like a fairly decent town.

[Mark]

Getting an early train up. Have had plenty of away days called off over the years, beers and chat always make it a good day regardless. Won't be much of a spectacle in that weather but oh well. Just hope the return train runs!

Getting really f..ked off with this shite every week.
He just can't cut it can he.
Poxy lame bollock excuses time and time again.

[Diggerthedog]

Surely the new owners have seen enough or are they the same as the previous and will just continue to drag this out

[DaggerJoel11]

That was abysmal. Think enough is enough now.

[Dagdale]

Yet again we could not capitalise on games where we go in front, I thought we showed a rather shitty performance at Boston 2nd half two weeks back this game today same period was far, far worse, something just aint right out there, strictly puzzling and hope the powers to be can fix it asap? Fans need a big praise here in awful blizzard and winds we showed up in good numbers, we certainly deserved a better performance than that?

Imagine my shock that we dropped more points again from a winning position this season… We have only been winning a match 7 times (including FA Cup) this season and managed to hold on for the win. That’s after playing 21 league/cup matches. However we have been in a winning position 6 times this season where we ended up drawing (2 of those capitulations happening in injury time, another still in the last 10). Another two times we have turned those leads, one of which was a two-goal home lead, into losses. That is 18 points dropped. That’s less that 50% of matches that we have been winning have actually been games that we have won. Someone tell me how this is acceptable, please?

Another two games where we had been drawing all match, we threw away in the last 10 to become losses.

Who wants to guess how many games we have won after being behind this year? ****** it, who wants to guess how many we have taken a point from after being behind…? One. One game we have come from behind and managed to salvage a single point, and it was Maidenhead 12 matches ago.

It doesn’t just show that we can’t win, which is unforgivable in itself, it shows that we can’t fight. We don’t work hard enough or have the bottle to see a result out. That’s on Strevs. We all like him and wish him well, but a bad job is a bad job and he needs to go. I will always happily welcome him back as a fan and a fellow dagger, but not as a manager I’m afraid.

Time for the owners to show us how serious they are.

Sadly I have to agree.
He's had more than long enough now to turn this round but the table doesn't lie.
We're a weak outfit that continually gets rolled over time and time again and that can only be down to the manager.
He's an amiable type of bloke who would be welcomed back, but as a manager like you say, times up I'm afraid.

To triumph over a grafting side like Tamworth was always going to require ugly grit, all the more so amid such windy conditions, and Dagenham again couldn't manage the fight when it came on top.

Only just caught the Manager's post-match interview this morning, largely because I wasn't interested in listening to it over the weekend but it looked and felt like a defeated man being asked to sum up another defeat from a leading position. The body language was awful and Ben looked like he had just stopped himself crying to do the interview... It seems quite clear that he doesn't have the faith in the players to hold out on a game when in front and the Manager knows there are only so many ways of repeating the same information to the fans each week.

Awaiting the reasoning for a poor performance again at 10pm tonight.
