FGR:1 U's:1 - all downhill from here?

I actually think I'd struggle to have less interest in the Winter Olympics, a competition surely designed purely for the benefit of those snowy countries (Switzerland, Norway, Austria etc) who have no chance of winning a medal at the real Olympics.

I mean, who really cares if Amy Williams has won a medal in extreme sliding, or professional sledging, or whatever that sport she does is? It's not that interesting, and while they may still be dancing on the streets of her home town Bath, I suspect the rest of us will have forgotten about Saturday's "historic moment" in a couple of weeks.

Of more concern to me is the speed at which United's season is heading downhill, like a skier who has lost his poles and is heading off-course towards a calamitous collision with some alpine trees, or a mountain goat, or (perhaps more aptly) a moose. Despite Danny Crow's goal, we were unable to hold onto our lead against lowly Forest Green, who equalised in the second half with the help of some fairly woeful defending, as you'll see below.



A point is better than nothing I suppose, but we should be able to see off teams like FGR, and the longer this winless run goes on the more and more fragile what little confidence the players have will become.

If we go on to beat Tamworth next Saturday then a return of five points from a possible nine doesn't look too bad, but any other result and amount of knives which are currently aimed at our manager is bound to increase, especially when you consider the following three matches are against Oxford (league leaders), Barrow (strong at home vs crap away) and Histon (sort-of derby match). Call me a pessimist, but if we can't get three points against bumbling-along-in-mid-table-with-nothing-much-to-play-for Tamworth, I don't fancy our chances of winning any of those next three either.
