After tonight who just feels apathy about the situation? No one in the clubs board saying a word after the summer when they were communicating constantly. The departure of Elliot a true daggers great. The junior situation where his loan should have been extended till the end of the season. The mistreatment of a legend in Strevs being sacked in front of his family the sieve looked very sparse. Just so many false dawns and feels like a club that has lost its roots. I’m only still going due to memories of better times and the friends that have been made while following the daggers.

Think that just about sums it up, dreadful times and we always seem to go from one disaster to another, even last nights humbling we did have gaps of really wanting to turn it around but under core tactics just aint right, those balls keep pumping bang in the middle of their box nobody dead central to clear a defender and finish it off gracefully, first half we were completely on the back foot and Woking really should have had more, appointments, good camaraderie on the pitch, and money available is always the hit on it but its in your DNA to keep on supporting and madness as it might seem push on up to Fylde and show support because that game is now so vital.

Woking didn't give us any time on the ball always 2-3 players closing ours down. I don't think we'd know what to do with the ball even if we had space at the moment.
It's my pet hate but if we had goals at each end of the halfway line we'd win every time. Side to side and back to the keeper ain't getting us anywhere. Bring back the hoof. 1 point from 9 at home against pretty average teams is telling I think. How many games Lewis has before they boot him out is an interesting question. He won't be here in 2 and a half months if this carries on.

He definitely will be, mark my words. You seem to be confusing Club Underdog with owners that have the faintest interest or clue on how to resolve our situation.

As a long term supporter I’m finding it difficult to understand why the owners are letting the club implode, it is pure apathy the way everything to do with the club is being thrown to the dogs, from the owners sacking Ben in front of his family to forcing our captain and long servant Elliot out of the club, the website isn’t being updated… even this morning the “next game” is Yeovil, has everyone been relieved of their duties or does nobody in charge give a flying f#k ?
Perhaps there is a master plan being planned behind the scenes, just be honest Club underdog and tell the people who pay their hard earned money following this club the truth about your intentions.

Genuinely interested to see what season ticket take-up will be for next season... A poor season I can take, to a degree, but nothing fills me with any confidence these last couple of months that a magical turnaround is due in the summer.

A really ugly picture is emerging about how good people at this football club are being treated under this hapless regime.

Junior Morias' comments stressed his celebrations were aimed solely towards the directors and not the fans.

On the same night Ben Strevens posted on LinkedIn about being sacked half an hour after the whistle on Boxing Day while his family were in the clubhouse and found out from others first.

Not to mention the absolutely disgusting treatment of Elliot Justham, plus sacking of analyst Jack Wilson which was by all accounts handled just as poorly.

A really sad state of affairs.

Yeah I haven't been to a home game since Boxing Day, that and Wealdstone was pretty obvious the players were not trying. I feel bad for Ben but the way they played in those two games he made his position quite hard to justify (4-1 down at home to Braintree I mean come on) - but, conversely, it was amazing to see someone who I absolutely loved as a player managing us.

Trying to stay out of all the online rumours about the owners because I don't really care but Elliot leaving and the new manager not winning any of his first five games is quite bad. My friend wants to come with his kid later in the season but I think that will be the only game I go to before August.

Whisper it quietly but I have been to the last two Orient home games including against City and jeez that place is rocking.

Apathy pretty much sums up my feeling at the moment. Like others on this MB I too have missed more games this season than probably the last 3 added together. I now look first for reasons not to attend instead of reason to go.
I suppose I'm doing a bit of a boycott, as although the Club have got my season ticket money, their missing out on my extra spends, programme purchase, refreshments, golden goal tickets etc
Apologies for mashing two threads together but as for the present Underdog situation , apart from this MB I don't do much social media so not really sure of all the facts, but if true and the supporters are not being listened; to, then maybe the Club Members views should be known to us. Do the Supporters Club still have a board member? If so, then perhaps information could be forthcoming from them.
