Fair enough, with the replies, I probably would feel the same in your position.

Orient won, Salford drew, Flyde shocked Solihull. Back to the financial question: does it matter if some rich business person has ploughed money into your club making your club more successful or would you prefer your club to be surviving on attendances of 1000 plus raffle ticket sales? Depends on the business the rich business person is running, I guess, but which club is squeaky-clean these days?

Salford are having a right old wobble, and the form team Solihull Moors went to the top last night after dispatching floundering Aldershot 0-3
Orient have re-signed hot & cold forward Jay Simpson after his 2 year spell warming the bench and bolstering his bank balance for Philly Eagles in the MLS, and provided he’s match fit he should help us improve our recent indifferent form. We need to upgrade a central midfielder too, really, but I’m not getting the vibe the Club wants to gamble & blow any more overspend on further additions.

You might have a point there. For instance, Damson Park’s current capacity of 3050 falls short of 4000 minimum capacity to qualify for Football League eligibilty. But I’ve not heard anything about Solihull’s stadium failing an EFL ground grading inspection yet...

“Big George” has lost any pace he may have had, I’m afraid.
Was released by Orient last month after a bust up with the gaffer, following a rare & woeful return to 1st team action - with him just lumping nearly every ball out of the ground at Ebbsfleet that led to an early substitution and handbags. Was very popular with Os fans and squad because of his attitude, if not his current abilities, mind.

It's been an odd couple of months of so. At the start of December you'd probably have said the National League had gone from a three-horse race to a two-horse race as Wrexham slipped up, lost their manager and appeared to be in disarray.
Since then, Salford have picked up eight points and Orient 11. Wrexham have, in spite of a four-game losing streak, picked up sixteen points while Solihull have picked up 24 to overhaul a ten point deficit on Orient and take the top spot. So now there's nine points between top and eighth and it still feels like anyone's league.

Before yesterday’s games you would have looked at Orient, Fylde, Salford, Solihull and Sutton’s fixtures at home to teams much lower in the table and been excused doing a 5 home win accumulator with some confidence. 4 home losses and only a late, late point for Moors was not the expected return. It’s a funny old league, alright. Wrexham seem to have put their losing streak blip behind them, but you really can’t call it right now.

With you on everything else though.

We're suffering from what slightly jolted Russell Slade's excellent team five years ago, two divisions up: the absence of a plan B when our first-choice players get injured and/or shackled. Saturday's was the first truly turgid all-round display of the season but it's been coming for a while. And Wrexham will beat us because that game's on telly, and we've not won on telly for five years.

I really hope Wrexham come up (assuming Cheltenham stay up). Two of my favourite Cheltenham goals from our 15/16 title winning season were scored against Wrexham. I enjoyed a good drink with a few of their fans before the Whaddon Road game as well.
