Quite simply - get rid of Wilkinson as he's clueless about football at this level. The players he's bringing in are useless for the Third Division. We'll need First Division players when we get there - not before. Has anybody else noticed in the pen pictures about the opposition in the home programmes how many are from non-League football? Who was the last player we signed from non-League football? Third Division football is about power and pace - not fancy fantasy stuff. To get anywhere in the bottom two Divisions, you need big, fast players where skill is a rare bonus. There's no point in getting Premier and First Division fancy-dans (getting paid loadsamoney) on loan - they're just getting stuffed every week. How many Premiership clubs would do well in the Third with the teams they've got now? Man U, Wimbledon, Watford and maybe Leicester - the rest? Forget it. One off Cup matches, maybe, but not the whole season. Last season was probably the worst season we have had for many a long year. Our worst defeat was 0-3 (at Scarborough!) and our worst home defeat was 1-3 to Exeter - League matches, ignore the Cups. So far this year we've had 0-3 at home and 1-4 and 2-5 away. Relegated by Christmas unless Wilkinson goes NOW! Rob Scott-Buccleuch
