Following Stamford’s 3-0 win over Kings Lynn, the Albion have now slipped into the bottom four.

Our slow, sad decline continues. Those missing today didn’t miss much. Two poor teams on a poor pitch. If it wasn’t for the chips and the gallows humour I would have wasted my day. Despite having two decent spells when we dominated, the finishing, as usual was woeful. During one spell, three players managed to miss decent chances in short succession. Oh for a Warlow, Moseley or Titchener with the confidence to beat a keeper one-on-one.

Or even Dave Walker and Nev…

1 chance in the first half and 1 in the second and we should have scored them both however if Rushall had scored all the chances they had it would have been 8 2 ish. The performance was that poor, the side bore no resembelance whatsoever to the one that won us promotion and did so well last year. Our inept (and i’m being kind) forward line would not score in a Polish brothel with a bag full of Euros. It was that bad. Bottom 4 we are and bottom 4 we shall stay I’m afraid unless there are fundamental changes…SBL .sick
