Answer = Not a lot judging by the scoreline!

Poor, poor game in which we were outplayed from start to finish.   The team was simply not operating. Some moments of individual skill,, but virtually no joined up thinking.  FGR golkeeper did not have to make one save of any note, whil Foderingham and Bedwell made  more than a few.  But there was a clear offside before the penalty.  I was sitting in line with play, and there was no doubt at all.  Little excuse though. Ward and Caddis strong...what will happen if/when they go I cant imagine at the moment.  But its early days still....All we need now is a manager!

Should add that FGR players were not holding back in their tackles and there may well have been fears of getting injuries, but FGR won every loose ball and virtually everything in the air.

Just back from pub and chatting to guy who went to FGR and in his opinion "it was a pile of s**t, where no-one was interested" and totally slated Foderingham and Caddis especially (purely his view).

He thought that we are relegation fodder without doubt unless rapid changes are made.

Hope to f**k he is wrong!

we were embarrassingly poor. If Forest Green can see us off that easily then Christ knows what the Sheff Utd type League One bruisers will do. PDC would have had a coronary after that performance. A complete teams worth of chihuahuas with the possible exception of Ward and Caddis who are probably buggering off anyway

Never judge anything on a pre-season friendly.

Admitedly I can't recall a season where the manager has done a runner while still at the playing local teams stage...they usually wait for a bit  into the season...viz Evans, T*dd, Wise. This tends to happen when they've been sold a crock of shit by a Board, but most on here reckon everything's OK, so who am I to argue?

all of this, past stfc and present stfc, begs the question - how are we looked upon by other clubs/fanbases?

i know for a fact we all judge all other clubs/supporters on shit like this, so where are we sitting in the minds of other fanbases? 

it matters not to me really but there must be plenty of opposition fans out there splitting their sides at the selected soundbites they hear about us recently.

oh well, sooner or later there will be another poor club that we can all feel sorry/resentful/empathetic/etc, etc...

shit happens to us as football fans that most of us wouldn't even consider turning a blind eye to if said shit was closer to home and affecting our loved ones.  guess we're all resigned to the fact that signing up to a life of (let's face it it is actually pretty pointless) football supporterdum means that we can all just accept being shit on from several different angles?

i had more but i lost track due to working 18 hours and drinking a bottle of wine, damn good wine but... a swartland (sth african) malbec (usually go sth american for malbec) - it's actually a 'finest' of sorts in that it is 'selected by tesco'...

...anyway regardless of credentials from tesco etc. it is a very fine red, one i will buy again, soon.
