By that do you mean we weren't in this division at all? Qualified by the word now that you forgot to highlight I'm still not getting it. Do you just mean "We finished second bottom last season, not bottom"?

No team has won the division having been relegated the previous year for over a decade. That can't be a coincidence. We don't have the highest budget, Eastleigh and FGR are reportedly outspending us. Reportedly eh, so definitely, maybe, possibly we could have the highest budget. And just because no-one has doesn't mean no-one can. Unless you don't have faith in the manager? So we can't say other teams have higher budgets based on reports, but we can make assumptions on the budget based on what you believe. That's convenient. I'm no paid-up member of the DC fan club but I'm not going to panic about being 6th on goal difference.

Out of interest how many of those teams have had no serious money problems following their relegation and also managed to retain an average home gate of around 5,500? Also how many of those teams have not made the Play Off's in their first season back who haven't had to suffer a 10+ points plus deduction? Regardless of that we must be in one of the strongest positions to bounce back in the last decade, or at least make the Play Off's, but DC's not going to look like achieving that if he makes it 2 wins from 12 games come Saturday. We are outside the play offs on GOAL DIFFERENCE. Everyone could see we have a goals problem, he's signed 2 strikers. What do we do if we record 2 wins this week?

I didn't think he was going to. But we should all agree that the budget is the highest since you say so.

Why have local media or club communication when the all-seeing oracle can tell us his truths? Hey if you've got IT skills maybe Nicky has a job for you...

Apart from you are the only one making categorical statements about budgets, perhaps a trip to specsavers might help. Either way you seem to be agreeing with me that there are only 2 teams with possibly bigger budgets than us both of which are below us so why shouldn't we be up there challenging for top spot?

You were the one that said you believed we had one of, if not the highest, budget, and used that assumption as the basis for criticism. Anyway, we should be challenging for the top spot, but we, unlike Barnet, have had massive squad upheaval, and we had a bit of a poor run because we had no decent strikers, which we've hopefully fixed. Also, it can't just be coincidence that relegated sides struggle to get back up straight away. People are acting like the season's over. Clarke deserves a chance for as long as we have a chance of going up IMHO.

Barnet brought in Akinde in the summer we brought in White & Taylor massive upheaval or not that's the difference between the two teams. As far as you saying what would we do if won both games this week's that not the issue the problem is what do we do if we don't win them, hope DC will turn 2 wins in 12 around or look for a replacement, as Barnet did last season when faced with a virtually identical situation.

Let's see what we do this week then.
If we'd brought in Akinde after how crap he was for us before this forum would nkt have been happy.
As for last year, Davids quit, then they had 3 other managers including Allen.

The only criticism i had was at those defeatist fans making excuses why we should settle for not winning this division.

So we agree!
Your original post didn't say that at all.
