yeah and if we hadnt lost so many games this season and won them all we'd be doing alright  Anyway....back to the original point of the debate, which is Spence saying last time he thinks we were seen as a "big" club in Div 4....to which I would counter that this time we wont be seen in this fashion, having got back so soon after departing. |

I'd say Cuthbert would be a sellable asset if he wasnt out of contract 3 months and thus can go for free or peanuts at a tribunal.
He's a good player but a young player. In the right team with the right and partner and he's a damn fine player. I wouldnt have swapped him for any other L1 centre back last season. Out of the current lot I think he's the only player who will make a decent (ie better than us) career for himself.

I could find this out myself, I know, but I'll ask here anyway because someone else (Reg) is quite likely to know the answers anyway. - What is our record winless run?
- What is our record winless run in the 3rd or 4th tiers?
- Are we anywhere near breaking either of the above?
- Morbid curiosity here, how many seasons in our history have we spent in the 4th tier? And of these, how many were dire? (I'm just trying to ascertain, if we do finish bottom, whether this really will rate as one of the worst seasons in our history.)

Had Fitton, the board or whoever is to blame acted when they should have done, we may have got Cuthbert to sign an extension. Therefore he would have had some value when he goes in the summer.
As it stands it's another example of everything that has gone wrong this season ie shit decision making by those in charge.

Thanks Reg. That frames the situation nicely. Demonstrates just how awful this season really has been.
I didn't realise that we had only spent 5 season on the bottom rung, by the way. And one of those was 2006/07. We do not belong in that division, and never have. I hope plans are being being made already to get us out quickly. One season in League 2 will be something of a novelty, but it's all going to wear a bit thin after 12 months.

... if we do finish bottom...
Remove the Plymouth points deduction, look at the games in hand others have and the true position of the inept, limp dicked bunch of toss that is STFC is truly revealed. Absolutely shocking without any of the context Reg has just added. |

If we don't win Tuesday or Saturday we'll have gone 3 months winless.

It's quite ironic that in the last game we won, we also finally banished the 20 month record of being unable to come from behind and win. We all thought that it could be the season's turning point and it certainly was, but sadly for the wrong reasons. We've gone from not being able to come behind and win to not being able to win full stop. If we fail to win in the next 4 games, Andrew Fitton will have a number of unenviable records as Chairman and it honestly wouldn't surprise me if he walked in the summer.
