Dribbling...

...or rather not, that's what the joys of the fan with internet access has given us.

So, rather than sitting in the local staring at the pint and dribbling incoherently into it at the lack of form...we can all type thoughts onto these screens which sit before us. 

We...or some can...rue the decision of owners...managers...the seeming lack of ability or response of players...the baiting and jeering of a portion of fans.  One thing is obvious, more points would be wonderful...we would be delirious if we were in Brighton's situation, but we're not.  We are where we are...

It's no good wishing or berating those who have put us here.  If you do that why not go back to the bad decision against Fulham from which they scored, and which deprived us of the points needed to remain in the Premiership...or the ferocious foul from Arsenal in the same season...a red card possibly, but that player went on to score against us in the game...or maybe Curbs decision to leave us.  Or maybe the then boards decision to employ particular managers who couldn't put a team together.  As said, we are where we are.

It is talked about the number of players we have out of contract in the Summer, and maybe this is a factor in our form...players don't know where they stand.  Well, if they don't fulfill their contracts now...what terms in any contract do they expect?!  The Summer will be interesting...

Do I expect Slater and Jimenez to stay with Chris Powell...yes.  Do I want them to...yes!  Do I think players don't want to win...no.  But then I've been around longer than the internet... before the heady days of council elections...when fans were expected to turn up and just watch...support their team through thick and thin, because your blood flowed with the colour and badge of your team...your heart had it emblazoned on it...cut me and I bleed for my team and I'm damned sure CP's does too!
