Worrying that we have lost the ability to score, 7 chances tonight, still think we are safe but we need to start scoring as the defence is conceding now and the quicker we are mathematically safe the better! Know what you mean but going 2 down so early might have ended as a rout, fact it didn't and GD still better than most below us suggests not scoring is more of a problem. Anyway, Dartford losing means 3 clubs below us can't overtake us now and we could be proper safe Saturday with a result at Welling. Agreed at 2 down early on it was always going to be difficult away at top and in form side to get anything from the game, so to keep the score down is possibly something to build on. Also we could be in a lot better position before we play Welling on Saturday as there are games tomorrow and Thursday. Truro play on both days, with them facing Eastbourne tomorrow and then Y***** on Thursday and ideally we could do with them concentrating on tomorrows match as that will keep Eastbourne right down there. Also if they do beat Y***** then there is more chance of the league making us replay that match and the club probably don't want to be messing around having to play that possibly next Tuesday. Taunton play Slough on Thursday night where a Slough win would also be welcomed.

Yeah I know, was just frustrated that we didn't at least score but hey there's always Saturday. Welling will be a tough game as they are in some form. Anyway who is going to score the first goal of the new MM era? 🙂

Need to get Frankie Monk back from Bashley to get a look at him, think he could be a big player for us next season.

If you look at the recent inside training I think you can see Frankie there watching. In trainers by the looks of it on the side so perhaps hes back with the squad? Maybe injured? I noticed he hasnt been in the Bashley team for the last two games

Thing is, Stock dismantled a competitive side and signed the worst player I think I've ever seen anywhere let alone in a Terras shirt, so they had a point.

When did Stock dismantle a competitive side? He didn't really. We had already lost Baggie, all the Bournemouth loanees went back and we then lost McCarthy after he allegedly did not get on with Stock. The players Molesley had identified to come in did not really work out, although Cody Cooke has done well at Bath since then, that winger we got in from Aldershot was shite, but he was a player Molesley had highlighted so you cannot put that one on Stock. Things only picked up (briefly) when Stock got in the likes of Andy Dallas and those two central defenders on loan.

Things only picked up (briefly) when Stock got in the likes of Andy Dallas and those two central defenders on loan. Dom Revan and Jacob Mensah. Also Ethan Ross. Then the following summer signed Ross Fitzsimons, Tyler Cordner and Omar Mussa (plus Taofiq Olomowewe admittedly). He later brought in Tom Bearwish and Tom Blair. Stock had some good contacts and in my view improved the squad, albeit by not enough to preserve our NL status. His problem was that the football was dreadfully negative and he never really knew how to engage with the fans when they slowly returned following the pandemic.

It's not the fact that Stock was out of his depth (he was, I don't disagree). However, demanding the sacking of a manager, no matter the caliber, just 8 games in was quite astounding.

Stock lost all credibility when he told the Echo (06 Jan 2021) after the match "Y***** came out of the blocks, almost treated it like a local derby and almost looked like they were up for the fight straight away".

Lost to worthing in the last minute, worthing play Braintree in the final I watched the Bromley-Alty NL Play Off semi on TV yesterday. My first thought was crikey, the standard at the top of the NL league has become very high, and my second thought was that both Bromley and Alty managers have been in their job a long time. Parkinson at Alty managed them in the Northern Prem 6 or 7 years ago and has taken them all the way from the NPL to the NL playoff semi's. We need to emulate that if we can, hopefully MM can take us into the top half of the table next season and continue the progress we have achieved this season over the long term.

That's an interesting point about longevity of managerial appointments. Yes, Parkinson was Alty's manager when they won the playoffs to get into the NL at the same time as we did in 2020 and Andy Woodman has been at Bromley even longer than him I think. Doesn't always work though. Luke Garrard has had a long and successful time of things at Boreham Wood....until this season. And now he's stepping down.

Garrard has had a lot of success at Boreham Wood though, and over a long period of time, even the most successful managers run out of steam eventually and have to move on to a new challenge.

We in Non-League circles always felt that the ‘Wood’s model wasn’t sustainable. Bankrolled by a film director (?) with loads of dosh and a vanity project does not a league side maketh…oh wait a minute!
But in Borehamwood’s case they never really had the fanbase, history, and I’m guessing crowds dropped off as the results did.
Highlight of their run had to be the victory over Bournemouth in the FA Cup away, but I don’t think they filled their end, even.
No disrespect, and they did really well, but there’s so many of theses stories of nearly men at the top of the non league ladder, only to slide down the snake so often.
Been a helluva ride for them - one we would love to emulate!

That's a massive loss of revenue for them if so.
