No match reports since the 31st August.
No club news since September.
Nothing on whatever happened to get the Spelthorne match abandoned.

What a way to treat supporters who through choice or circumstance do not attend matches.  And let us not forget anyone on the lookout for a club to follow: nothing up to date on the club site.

Top of the table; crowds up; and things are looking good for Croydon.  Then the manager walks.  If only the Chuckle Brothers had done the same at Tooting a few years ago me might not have ended up in this toilet bowl of a division.

Does anyone know if the club is going to be organising anything to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this bold proclamation?

I am another long suffering supporter tearing out what little hair i have. We have no striker who will score us goals at present  it was only Shay Brennan who made us look half decent in that area last season. The only recruitments over the last few weeks have been defensive.

He bagged 5 for for table topping Farnham last night.
 

I think that it is unfair to lay the blame at Jamie’s door.  We all know where the problem with club lies and until there is a change at the very top the club will continue to occupy the void that it currently finds itself in.

But get a decent Head Coach who can teach his players how to defend.  Hope we can keep Shay Brennan - I think he has scored around 56% of our league goals this season.  It would be good to see a "high press" system against teams trying to play out from the back!

Brennan has gone across the Hog's Back to Farnham.

I guess it comes back again to club ambition....which is why I'm guessing the wonderful Shay opted for Farnham.....someone on the up rather than perennial water treaders.

An excellent  appraisal of our club.

Congratualtions to our near neighbours on their promtion.  Although I do not like the playoff system, it is there and AFC Croydon Athletic did well by winning the final from 5th place in the division.

Unless those running the club decide on a total change of direction, I cannot see the club getting out of this mess.  Upon relegation to this league I said that we had to get promoted out of it straight away or be stuck down here for seasons on end.

The playoffs are our only hope unless the bullet is firmly bitten with the team getting the funding for us to boss this division and set it up to be a force back in the Isthmian ranks.

How did it go?

What needs to be done for Tooting and Mitcham to do what Farnham did this season?
