Off to see my team Grantham Town get likely relegated to Step 5 today. Such a shame after entering the season for the first time in years with optimism with a young, progressive manager and what looked a good team on paper. Unfortunately our young team was out muscled and out smarted by more experienced and streetwise teams who picked us off and the season quickly got away from us; terrible fixture list with only 4 games at home in the first 10 including Walsall Wood, Corby and Worcester (one of two wins all season!).
Crazy decisions made after sacking the manager with the chairman having a go and releasing decent players wasting several months mid season when we got cut adrift. Great chair, businessman but no manager!
The bottom of the league is so bad that even a minute upturn in form would have given us a chance, however I think we gave up a long time ago with the team comprised of loanees and dual registered players since the end of January. Not entirely convinced next season will be a bed of roses, Gresley's struggles this season are food for thought.
It's been a miserable 7 years since Adam Stevens left with essentially reprieves due to teams going out of business and covid cancelling seasons, relegation, two more seasons of struggle at step 4 and relegation again.
