Steven Schumacher didn’t mince his words after another frustrating display on the pitch. The manager laid bare the struggles that have dogged his side throughout the campaign, offering a stark assessment of their season-long failings.
“It’s been like this all season long,” Schumacher said, capturing the relentless nature of their problems. The team has too often relied on moments of individual brilliance to pull them through.

“We relied on Fatawu to hit a wonder goal or Jordan James to drag us forward,” he added, underlining the absence of a coherent, collective plan in their play.
Schumacher was brutally honest about the overall quality of the performances. “We’ve had no plan in our game, looked poor in most of our games, rode our luck at times,” he said, a damning critique of a campaign that has offered little to excite supporters.
His message was unflinching, even when considering the club’s financial constraints. “It’s rotten to the core.
And with limited funds we won’t bounce back,” Schumacher warned, acknowledging the harsh realities facing the club as they attempt to rebuild.
The comments paint a stark picture of a team struggling not just on the pitch but structurally, with moments of talent unable to mask deeper issues. For the fans, the message is clear: change is needed, but it won’t come easily.
