This is how it looks to me, from the outside :

If the club would really be 'happy to be in step 4' they could have taken the relegation - and then spent the whole of this season trying to get back up into step 3, where they have the privilege of being this season

Instead, by a stroke of fate, they are spending the season at step 3 and trying desperately to stay at this level.

Believing step 4 would be where the Borough would be this season, the Board made a reasonable appointment of a new manager whose contacts were likely to be useful at step 4, only to find themselves unexpectedly at the higher level where the contact book and experience levels were somewhat exposed. The Borough ended up with a young manager keen to make his mark but inevitably at a disadvantage, with several players not quite of step 3 standard.
It's not surprising results have been disappointing, not just at Chesham, - but this isn't over yet !

I reckon nine clubs clubs are in danger of relegation and a couple of wins for the Borough would do wonders for confidence of the players and raise the spirits of the faithful fans. By chance, fellow strugglers Hanwell, Dorchester and Hayes/Yeading are all due to visit Earlsmead in January and none of them should be feeling that confident of taking the 3 points.

With those upcoming fixtures, it's down to the Harrow players to ensure that the club quickly gets out of the relegation places in January and then goes on to secure step 3 football again for next season.
With motivation and strong team spirit it CAN be done !

Good Luck for the rest of the season !
