It's no individual player's fault anymore, not Grant's...

The problems lie rooted deep in the club. I understand we all have our favourites (debatable) and our not so favourites, but I am worried our fighting amongst each other is going to ruin what small hope we have remaining this season.

I know it says a lot that already I and so many others are considering survival in this league a relative success, I know that some of the players don''t look like they''re giving 100%, I know Grant makes the odd mistake, but hounding them and others will not help.

We need answers from the people who run this club, and I fear that with all of our squabbling, not just on here, but in general, we will lose face and end up with a new manager, who is walking into a club near enough bottom, with bad attitude and no morale.

We should all feel short-changed, but why can''t we vent our anger together at the people who do make a difference? It is the board who have got us here, and I for one want to know how they are actively getting us out of it. I want to see 5 year plans, not short term cr*p, I want the board to tell it like it is, not tell it like we want it to be. This isn''t happening, and we deserve to know why.

Maybe Grant isn''t the man to take us forwards, maybe half our players need replacing, maybe not many people want to come here, but this time next year, if we don''t get together, Grant will be gone, half our players will be good enough, and it will be a thousand times harder to recruit new players.

Survival is the key now, sad as it seems. If we can stay up, supporting the team we have rather than comparing them to what we had, and in the meanwhile work to make the board understand that this is no longer acceptable, forcing a change in personnel or a total rethink of how this club is run, I would see that as a successful season.
