Our owner Brad Galinson is actually using a hashtag for the club of "sleeping giant" on Social Media. I suspect that it is somewhat tongue in cheek as he is a pretty humorous guy but it might feed in to your narratives, so you can have that one.:cool1:

That wasn't what we were pointing out. The cup runs would not have made us a mint but as far as I am aware we have so far only paid transfer fees for Lapslie and Hawkins (jointly £100k + possibly rising to £200k) plus Nichols (£60k). Do you not think three games against EPL opposition, with...

So far we have signed Masterson and perhaps Jonny Williams, who were both free agents. The rumour is that we have offered Williams, who was already on a League 2 salary, a 3 year deal to move back to Kent, where he comes from. That is what has probably attracted him. Our new owner is minted...

Still rumoured that we may be after Crewe's Agyei. They have offered him a new contract but he is a southern lad so I hope that works in our favour. Never seen him play but we desperately need some pace in the team so hopefully he is swift. Of course, Wrexham are in for him as well apparently...

Why is Beckles still banned? Thought he would only miss the Crewe game after getting sent off against us. Straight red for a professional foul and not violent conduct, I would that thought. Or was it his second sending off?

Home v Away, we are chalk and cheese. Since the turn of the year, we have not played brilliantly at home but have restricted the opposition to very little and have nearly always found a way. 28 points out of the last 33 available is truly jaw dropping after starting that spell with 7 league...

Are either of those second and third statements really true since Askey took charge? I thought Saturday was your first setback. Kemp, Umerah and even Jennings seem to have been stepping up so that result really surprised me.

I thought it was grimmer oop north.:whistle: A bit of a strange assessment as we matched you, scored a good goal and conceded late. We were also without Hawkins so had no target man and played the ball on the deck more than usual. Not sure how that makes it ugly football but we all see things...

Harris making assessments on who we keep in the summer so hopefully we are not on the beach despite being on 47 points which will probably be enough. Being at home, we have to attack Stockport so they probably have more chance of a win than when we parked the bus at their place. We also have...

We don't bottle everything. We're just not very good. You were unlucky that we were missing 4 or 5 from our usual line up when we played at your place so had even less ambition than normal. Rearguard action par excellence. First goal we conceded yesterday was scripted. Missing Masterson at the...

BIzarrely, according to recent TV programme I was watching, 85% of Kent is still undeveloped green land. Lot of building going on though, and a lot of miles of motorway. The main reasons I have recently moved to Suffolk for my twilight years. The Medway towns are pretty grim, I admit, and...

Definitely true. We have no pace in team, even with our acquisitions, so we will not be able to hit you on the break. I think our stats are about 4 shots over the last 4 away games. I think we are just about safe and you could deny the loathsome Evans an automatic spot, so I could see a bright...

Hard to see round their flat caps and whippets, as well:whistle::whistle:

Actually, Colchester is the one I would like to stay up for purely selfish reasons. I have moved to South Suffolk and it has been the only game I have been able to get to this season. Loads of parking about and our first away win this season. Enjoyed it, even if it is a bit soulless. Otherwise...

BBC Stats for Hartlepool - 5 shots, 4 on target, 4 goals - clinical !! Again, we only scored once but rock solid at the back. As for Nichols, as we would sing to the crypto boys "he's short, he's old, but we've struck f*cking gold... Tommy, Tommy Nichols...." Didn't even need Mitchell to throw...

Oi! we had a 23 game disadvantage - the first half of the season - before the cavalry arrived over the hill. We are still 7 goals behind every other team in the scoring column but at least Harris has been given what he needed. Better players is the key, as you are finding but that bit of...

We are better up front than we were before Christmas, when we could not score against anyone, or even in a brothel. Now we can score against anyone but the top 8. Mansfield 2-0 loss, Bradford 2-0 loss, Stockport 0-0. Randomly, also Walsall 2-0 loss. So, at worst for you it will be 0-0, at best...

Definitely. When we won League Two under Mad Dog a few years back, we were no great shakes but we were the most consistent and rode out our inevitable rocky patch, when we lost a couple of home games back to back and the nerves started to show. Orient are unspectacular but get the job done...

Get used to it with Evans. With us, he signed a defender called Christian Maghoma from a foreign league, having previously been with Spurs. Reportedly on a few thousand a week having been given a 2 year contract and started about 4 games for us before being discarded. Numerous useless loan...

I agree. Any of our local fans who travel to lots of away games at places like Rochdale and Carlisle, sometimes needing to take the day off work if it is a midweek game, deserve nothing but admiration (and perhaps their head examined) and the least the players and manager can do is acknowledge...
