Can't say I have seen much in the way of negativity from anyone though? Example; Top of the League, coasting, playing attractive football, an away record to die for Dan. Help me here, not one pre-comment or post comment on today’s match. Not sure it’s apathy, boredom, or negativity mate, you choose

People tend to go on Facebook/Twitter first - maybe comment on here less so but don't think people are being negative. 

I felt we should have scored more today, but would agree St Ives parked the bus a bit, I have to say I didn’t think we would beat Banbury and Hednesford, so what’s to say we can’t beat Bromsgrove and Peterborough away, but they will be our toughest tests one after the other, but if you compare this to the sh*t Dennis Greene was serving up last season, we should should be more than happy 👍

As for general negativity, I'm with Dan, I've not seen it. Personally, I thought we were poor v Needham Market and that the management were naive about defending balls into the box v Nuneaton which led to us throwing two points away.

I'd stand by those opinions and the general feeling round me in the ground was very sinilar but given we'd won 7 league games in a row prior to that, no one was starting a Smudge out campaign.

I personally wish Andy would tone down the ref baiting. I think the ref got one wrong over the second Hoenes pen shout yesterday but when Andy was still screaming at him like a 2 year old having a tantrum a couple of minutes later, I thought it was unlikely to make the ref change his mind and also made it difficult for management to discipline any of our players who get booked for dissent in future.

Minor gripes though in a run of 9 wins from 11 for which everyone is giving players credit quite rightly and if you can't raise a minor gripe here, what is the point of a forum?

Surely you don't want this site turned into some sort of SS policed state where dissent is forbidden do you Argus? Your catchphrase used to be "other opinions welcome" until you decided you didn't want to hear from anyone who disagreed with you

The referee's are officiating at this level for a reason. The fact is we have never been awarded so many penalties in a season. Next Saturday provides a big test for the best defence in the league playing against the strongest forward line in the league, but on the back of two clean sheets it is set up to be cracking contest. We do need to be more ruthless in front of goal but the position we are in how can anyone complain. (apart from we shouldn't have ended up in this league in the first place). COYL
