If we did it, I think we would have to win the remaining 7 games and hope results go our way. If the takeover is achieved, I think we should try to keep the vast majority of the squad together, with only a few leaving and sign a few quality players for next season (if possibly Hayes as well). If we can do this, we may be serious contenders for the top seven, because our squad is a decent squad at this level. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

It’s all going to boil down to the playing budget and I don’t think anyone has an idea of what that look like.There’s a fair few out of contract as well. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

For me, the biggest barrier to success for the rest of this season and beyond is consistency. The factors contributing to this have been discussed ad infinitum, including injuries, team selection, slow pace, desire, playing style etc etc. All this notwithstanding, however, individual form has been puzzling. In not a fan of calling individuals out as it achieves nothing, but I remember Devante had a forgettable outing and was subbed early 2nd half (he may have been returning from injury?) whilst Jes looked good in that game. The following week Jes was really out of sorts and Devante started this run of looking really threatening. This inconsistency could also be a determinant in BJ's future too. I think he's shown enough to keep his job through a recruitment window, with a view to strengthening the squad and seeing if we can play as we can more often (cash permitting). I'm certainly not 100% convinced he is the answer, but he gets my benefit of the doubt after motivating a team which doesn't know if they'll still be paid in 2 weeks time to get a tidy 4-1 away win. | ![](/images/avatars/17584.gif) |

Refwatch: Eastleigh v Rochdale on 19:30 - Mar 16 with 3848 views | fermin | Enjoyable day out and good performance but they played onto our hands by not pressurising the back 4 and the keeper. They allowed us so much time unlike other teams. Nice of the opposition goalkeeper to gift us a goal for a change. Second goal was a lovely move with first time passes. | ![](/images/avatars/1236.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Refwatch: Eastleigh v Rochdale on 21:05 - Mar 16 with 3439 views | 999Dale | Thought we were well worthy of the win and Eastleigh didnt even deserve 1 goal. The pitch helped our passing game massively. It was like a carpet and we took full advantage. Eastleigh had 2 lumps up front and their tactic was to get the ball wide and cross it early. We passed it around them from goal kicks and they couldn't get near us. Today was a game where Jim's tactics worked. Probably the polar opposite to Tuesday night. | ![](/images/avatars/32199.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Correct, James, I haven’t. It appears my comment has gone right over Nidge’s head (not difficult - he’s not the sharpest) as well as the poster who marked it down (who was adamant he had me on ignore a bit back 😂). Eastleigh must have been stingy on the food and drink yesterday and he’s got a cob on. [Post edited 17 Mar 7:22]
