So many are moaning about so many things but if you had to pick one which would you go for?

What about no manager for the past few months.

It's a cycle. Without Injuries and griffith we probably wouldn't be in a relegation battle.

Lee got it wrong by not strengthening in key areas earlier on in the season. We could have picked up 5 more points earlier on.

By appointing NT we put the final nail in the coffin.

For me, the fault of our relegation lies squarely with the board who got it so wrong by keeping tolson. They could have been the ones to stop the rot.

Ultimately the board because we still had Welling Kiddy Southport Halifax Torquay all to play and failed to bring in a manager who could keep us up.

This one decision could have been avoided, and may well have tarnished the hard word and sacrifice put in each week by the Rowley family.

This summer the board - if they wish to stay - need to repair the broken relationship caused by this decision. Not an easy process.

It was the Chairman's decision to give the job to a man with a poor managerial record, partly responsible for putting the current squad together and wasn't even sure if he could do the job. He gave his friend the job and we have gone backwards, because of blinded loyalty.

There is not a single reason they are numerous

1. Poor recruitment bar deasy and rankine .. home work was not done
2. Very unlucky with injuries
3. A manager who lost interest and the dressing room
4. We took the easy decision and paid the price

Not having the  budget to compete in the National league has to be a factor

Had we not had the run of injuries  (including the useless Griffith) we might have had more points on the board by the beginning of 2016, and wouldn't have slid all the way down. Poor recruitment runs it close though. I don't really blame Tolson's appointment as the sh*t had hit the fan well before then.

The 2 big ones are injuries and the board appointing Tols. Nothing against him at all and I think he's been a very good assistant to Lee but it looks as though it was too much of a step up to keep us in the national

I think the board have to acknowledge they've got it wrong by not appointing someone with a lot more experience in keeping a team up in this league.

Just want to add as well that it's a poisoned chalice this job at the moment and I doubt many managers could keep us up as it is. The state of tonight's bench highights that.

not really do you think our budget has been that uncompetitive?

If so who's fault is that?

I think Lee would have just about kept us up this year and with players back next season would have kicked on which is a real shame. With a fit squad I reckon we'd have finished around 16th this season comfortably. As it is, the league is so poor that even the Altrincham Fringe team are still in with a small shout of staying up
