From today's Observer. NK comments and what he probably meant.

"I still believe we have got quality players, we just haven't been clicking"

I still believe in Father Xmas, he just hasn't turned up for the past few years.

"If we get our strongest 11 on the pitch we will be alright"

I have no chance of getting my strongest 11 out this season due to stag doo's, lack of discipline and mysterious injuries just before kick off

"Those players plus the one I am trying to sign should make us stronger than the teams around us and most of the sides we have to play"

Forget Bankole, who I said would make a huge difference on the pitch last week and change our fortunes, ive now got my eye on someone from Crawley Down, he will make a huge difference and he will definitely change our fortunes. Sadly all the teams around us are still much stronger.

"The last two reverses have been very disappointing but everybody within the squad has got to remain upbeat and positive"

At least 12 of the 16 games I have been in charge off have been a disaster. No passion, no cohesion, no fight. The confidence is shot to bits and Razor is the only person that can put this right.

"We do need to bring in another forward and we hope to have one signed by Saturday"

We have needed another striker since the day I joined. Despite this I thought it would be a really good idea to release Kenny Pogue and Jordan Woodley and stretch our resources even further. I expect Pogue to sign on the dotted line on Friday.

"I have been trying to sign someone from a higher level but trying to attract players at this stage of the season, especially from a higher level, is not easy given our league position"

No one wants to come to Hastings, I wonder why? Perhaps if I had tried to fill these positions before our massive slump then perhaps I would not have had these same problems.

"Apart from this one signing there will be one more"

I am waiting on bloody Westfield to return my calls!

"I'm happy with what I've got provided I can get them all fit and available for selection"

I do not want a repeat of Carshalton when I had 9 out! No idea who the 9 were but they were definitely out!

"We will go to Tooting expecting to get something from the game"

I will wait until Saturday morning but we should be going to Tooting with 11 players

"On paper they are a stronger side than us and they are good at home"

On paper they are stronger than us, oops, no, sorry, I said in an earlier statement didn't I, with this one signing and everyone available we are stronger than most around us, why did I say that? they have only won 4 more games than us.

"They are good at home, I must admit"

They have only won 2 of their last 10 home games so they are struggling and I expect a win.

All a bit of fun I know, but I am looking forward to Saturday, Tooting a favourite ground of mine, and I expect a win. With Adams, Logan and Mclean back we should have just about our strongest midfield of the season. My team would be

Pelling

Rose

Caley

Razor

Pelling

McClean

Logan

Adams

Bankole

Olorunda

plus the new super striker we have coming.
