Going up! Any more believers?

Remember interview in Birmingham mail, where Cox was bigging up the strength of the squad and how it was benefitting the players. Greater competition and all that! Perhaps Cox thought he was guaranteed a starting spot. Losing his place after being sent off, meant he had to scrap for his place, which he clearly was not up to. I am sure Stratford would welcome him back in a heart beat if they aren’t closed down.

Frances is a liability and has proved that in games this season

Spot on Dan. I too thought that Cox should have started the game against Darlington ahead of Frances but the management have to make decisions and sometimes they too will get things wrong. To say Frances is a liability i think is a bit harsh. He's a young lad still learning the game and he is going to make and has made mistakes. The acid test for him will be as to whether he learns from his mistakes. I would expect Cox to be disappointed at being left out but acting like a petulant child is no good for the rest of the squad. Dan Creaney could feel aggrieved at not starting more games but he is responding the way he should when he gets his chance by scoring goals and making it hard to leave him out. Cox would have had his chance to stake a regular place but chose to react he way he did and therefore its best for everyone that he goes. All this aside we should be enjoying the fact that we are playing some good stuff and its a pleasure to watch the team again. We still need to strengthen the squad in my opinion. Good and successful sides build from a position of strength. What should help is the £30,000 or so made from the FA Cup and Trophy thus far, coupled with the £20,000 pledged from Teambuilder this season. Lets hope that we can add to the already undoubted quality that we have at our disposal and make sure that this lovely little football club of ours continues to thrive

I reckon Aaron Forde has guaranteed himself the right back position with two great displays recently,so Cox no great loss especially with Goughie due to return shortly.Great read Dosthill Lamb.
