Hook, line & sinker

 

Is that why your players were bad as they didn't want to impress our management staff as they don't want to join us? Thank god for that i wouldn't want any of them  ha

Bigger in what way? Yes you get more crowds than us and have been higher than us in years gone by but i have had this discussion with Weymouth fans before as surely the here and now we are all equals in this league until teams go up or down? Bigger crowds and budgets mean nothing unless you do something with it surely ie promotion??

Regarding players wanting to leave us for you I don't think any would to be honest, Phillips the GK has not long turned down Weymouth for a lot more money than he is on with us and Davies has twice turned down Poole for double what he is on. What we have at Frome is not players on loads of money but a lot are good mates who have played together a lot before and we have great team spirit at the moment which sometimes is better than any superstar players.

Ex Fromies Smithy and Chitty left for you when they had got stale and needed a new challenge.

I would love crowds like you and our boys deserve it but for whatever reason we don't get them through the gates.

I have a feeling we will probably be still playing each other next season though so will look forward to my trip to you as always on NYD (or the day after) 



 

I've purposely held back from commenting on yesterday's game, as it was obvious the forum would go viral on the performance, and sure enough it has. In my view our performance against Frome was poor at best. It seems to me that since we have released the fringe squad players (10 in total), there is no longer competition for places, which unfortunately is reflected in our recent performances. At the moment we look no better than a mid table team that have basically run out of ideas and direction, and we cannot rely on the teams above us to keep dropping points, which makes our current 4th place even more precarious if we do not start put some results together soon. In the last few games we have conceded last minutes goals (Biggleswade and Cirencester), so potentially 6 points became 2 points. I still believe we can make the play-off's, but we are desperately light in mid-field, and in my opinion this is the key area that needs to be addressed if we are going to make a really serious challenge for one of those play-off places.

I saw Griff playing for Cirencester at Frome two weeks ago and , in my opinion, he's a spent force, he was blowing out of his arse after 30 minutes and , probably, for the first time ever he failed to score against us, not even coming close.
As an outsider looking in and it's only my opinion from 27 miles away some of your players are only with you for the cash, why else would Pratt leave Bath City. Sandell came from better things, Both are surely capable, even now of Conference South.
With Frome, we know that the players aren't with us for huge pay days as posted earlier Jon Davies turned down Poole for mega bucks, Kyle Phillips turned down mega bucks to join Weymouth.
We as a club have a small squad but what we do have in bucket loads is team spirit and any amount of sugar daddies cash can't buy that.  Finally, we're not doing bad for a side that was the bookies favourites to go down, are we ?

" And if Frome were that so much superior to us,how the hell didn't they thrash us ? " Last week you said "Recent form and selection  (No Tindle) taken into consideration I make Frome favourites for Monday "
