"Towards the back end of last season, we had a new manager bounce which really aided us in results. "We were also assisted in three young loanees from the EFL who are no longer here of course. "Searle’s recruitment in the summer was particularly poor, hence why we’ve made many mid season signings and have a huge squad size! "We’ve been left completely in the mire when it comes to team selection and the obvious one, we’re on our third manager of the season already! "Players aren’t settled in the slightest with constant changes in tactics and style.
"There’s been no change since Searle left, Watling was just as poor. "There’s many issues, too many to list. "But the few key ones have been our style of play, we completely lack any identity as Harry Watling changed tactics and styles practically every game.
"We’ve also been very defensively poor, we’ve already shipped 54 goals this season and that’s down mainly to pace at the back. "Previously mentioned, actions in the market, too many one month loanees, poor summer recruitment, which now leaves us with a big squad. "And more recently, the squad's been hit with some form of illness, that’s affected most if not all players, which again impacts selection heavily.
" Do you feel you have any chance of staying up? "Our chances are of course very slim, it’s Christmas and we’ve not even broken the double figure mark in points. "If we need any chance then we need to get the players fighting for the badge and for the club, as players have looked to not care at times. "There needs to be fight and passion and a willing to stay up, like there was last season.
How are the fans meant to believe if the players don’t? "Wes has been inconsistent, he’s had a few good performances, one notably at Forest Green coming to mind. "He looks comfy on the ball and he’s got a bit of energy about him, but tends to go for very risky passes, costing us possession, he’s also not really shown much defensive determination or desire, again being costly when being on the back foot. "No suspensions to note, like I said there’s a bit of a virus going round, which players are affected is unclear, also unclear whether it’s passed or not.
"Jack Wakely is injured, Lewis Page, Luke O’Neill and Ben Chapman are returning from injury and may be unlikely to feature.".
