I know I'll get slated for this but i for one am very worried. I'd love to find a reason to be positive but I go on facts. Two months ago I honestly believe we were the best team in the league, now we look like a side hovering just above the relegation zone. I don't care what leamington and slough get up to, the fact is we will never catch them playing like we did today and for the last 6 weeks. Well done frome, I thought you were excellent. I really hope this is just a blip but I'm concerned.

The first half was an embarrassment, Frome outfought and out played us and we were lucky to still be in with a chance at half time.Seemed to pull things together a bit in the second half but still for the most part second best.Summed up quite well comparing free kicks. First one Pook took couldn't even get it over the defensive wall and every free kick/corner Davies took was spot on. Perhaps we could pay him to come down and show our players how free kicks and corners should be taken as we waste so many. Looking at today's game Frome played a lot down the wings and were dangerous where we seem to play down the middle or just belt the ball long down thw wings for Pratt to chase after. I really don't think that is the best use of his ( and Sandell,s ) skills just chasing hopeless balls.

Six yellows for Frome on Boxing Day and another six today. Isn't that also £2k in club fines? Whilst they are undoubtedly going well right now, that disciplinary problem is going to trip them up soon.
We do seem to lack a bit of killer quality - too many draws. With Tindle back and rested hopefully we can get our mojo back

The problem with Frome, is that when a referee decision goes against them, they crowd the official en masse, which is not allowed any more, and I believe they got two yellow cards for that offence, right up to the final whistle, they kept on at the officials. Their bench reacted to every decision and all jumped up and berated the officials. They looked a good team whereas, Chipp looked poor and always second to the ball. However we were resilient and got a point, but we are dropping too many points.

Their cup final playing us, so they're always a bit excitable

Judging by Collier's after match video chat, he certainly shared the view that we were very poor in the first half and not much better after HT. So maybe 1 point gained through determination rather than 2 points dropped in the end. We need to win at Leamington somehow to get back on track

If we are that poor and have been for six weeks it's quite remarkable that we managed to beat Hitchin draw with Merthyr draw with Slough draw at Biggleswade (2nd best home record in the league ) And if Frome were that so much superior to us,how the hell didn't they thrash us ?

In reply to Reginald 74 comments he conveniently missed out losing to Cinderford ( current form shows only win in last 6) and drawing with Cirencester which doesn't make such attractive reading. Form has been very mixed giving some good results and not so good but 5 draws in last 6 doesn't equate to play off form in my book. Look at points dropped as much as points gained. As for Frome not thrashing us how many times have we dominated a game and only get a draw or worst lose when the opponents only shot goes in.

Read Slough managers comments re this division, and when we outplay and dominant teams without winning you batter us. Never played the game !
