Managers Notes
 


Its been a hard few weeks for us first travelling to Taunton then on to Paulton. To come away with 2 draws you would normally say for a team in our position its a great effort from the boys.  But I'm disappointed because I thought in both games especially at Paulton where we played some great football we could have took all the points.  Its that inconsistency issue with us thats our downfall at times, because you never know what your going to get from us, we're either good or bad - But as I've said before theres alot of these lads that have stepped up from the league below so you have to accept it takes time for players to adjust - You only have to look at Luke Carnell who is a prime example of what can happen when you get a full season under your belt. This season hes really gone up a level and is now producing consistent performances everyweek.  And I'm delighted for him.
Theres no question if this group of players can produce the levels thats required on a more regular basis like we're slowly starting to do and have alittle more belief in there own abilities then theres everychance we can improve on last seasons finish. 
On a personal note I'd also like to welcome Mark Collier to the club whos come in as my assistant. Mark approached me a few weeks back and asked if I would be interested while he waits for the right job to come along for him.  I didnt need to think twice on it thats for sure - Mark has had a terrific record at these levels notably with Swindon Supermarine over the years, and has a wealth of experience.  So the opportunity to have him on board whether short or longer term was to good to miss.

We entertain Gosport this Saturday, which we know will be another tough test for us with the quality they have. If we go out though and produce what we did at Paulton then we're have everychance to build on the last couple of weeks.
