Oh dear. Things are getting pretty bad and for me its all self inflicted.
December- few bumps but generally picking up points. Probably not enough to stay up but making a good go at it. Will overtake Southend no doubt.
January - absolutely shot. 1 point in 15, against the worst form side at home and even that was a rescue job. Manager and fans have lost all rapport. FV now seemingly gone back in the shadows.
Ok, we were always going to be weakened by Verlinden and Bridcutt going back. However we should really have known this in Dec and looked to replace accordingly. To rip up all hes done, slag off everyone and alienate the fans and to sulk just leaves me asking the question what is going on?
From the outset it looks like Keith Hill and Sharron Brittans relationship is like David Brent and his boss in The Office.

It’s easy to place blame when things are going badly OM and I’m sure some of it is deserved but I genuinely think KH is doing the best he can with limited resources. We could hear more from SB who has gone very quiet lately but I’m sure she’s busy trying to run the club and keep us afloat, so I’ll cut her some slack on that. Certainly results have been more than disappointing lately and we seem to be going backwards. As for replacing Verlinden and Bridcutt, that’s a tough ask with the restrictions and personally I’d now ask is there any point given we’re going down now for certain? I listened to KH after match comments and again I can’t disagree with his summary. I think the players are now starting to feel the pressure from losing which just constrains them even more. If we could just get a bit of luck and a result or two it may help lift the gloom but that’s easier said than done. KH wouldn’t have been my choice but I think we do need to get behind him for the rest of the season in the hope that he does know what he’s doing and can start delivering it.

On further reflection I now feel that Keith's outburst after Rochdale had to be connected with the sudden appearance of Peter Kenyon as an "adviser" which obviously would seem to be undermnining him. It is this background which now appears a worry to us all,. There are obviously things affecting the new owners, which they are keeping to themselves in the vogue of old time Wanderers'owners with decisions like the closure of the upper tiers seeming to come out of the blue ( I feel sure this is a mistake as neglected areas soon become delapidated and may lead to a deterioration of the whole arena}.
If there are now serious problems for FV is it not time for them to advise the fact to their major shareholders, us the supporters.
I have always felt FV had enough financial backing to merit sufficient working capital, but of course they may be having a shock with poor cash flow, and that could be the main reason for Kenyon's involvement (what happened to his Chelsea involvement and is he still looking to buy a club?).This could also be a reason why further loan signings are not being made. Therefore Keith may be finding things are much less rosy for him personally than when he first appeared as our saviour. He could help himself no end by ensuring more fight and cohesion in his team, and by having a better idea of which players constitute the first team and which positions they are best suited to.

Bridcutt missed too many matches for us to depend on. Verlinden was sort of in and out of the team. Keith never really trusting him completely.
I just think a back four of Emmanuel Wright Earl and Chicksen is far better and more settled than Emmanuel Toto Edwards(zouma) Fleming and it was not the players who made that decision.
Problem is Hills stock was pretty low. Sacked from the only club he felt at home. So whilst he talks like hes the oracle hes pretty limited in his experience and away from Rochdale hes a failure.
