What an awful game tonight was. Us and Bromley were as poor as each other, neither team deserved to win that. We kept the ball nicely in the middle of the park, but when you can’t defend and you can’t score goals, you won’t win games. Another season of lower middle-table nothingness, won’t get...
Yes, played about 40 minutes against Woking in the cup in October and not been seen since. No idea what’s wrong with him, some sort of injury, but looks so overweight and so far away from being fit that it wouldn’t surprise me if he leaves by ‘mutual consent’ before the end of the season. Really...
Another season, another 6 points off Woking. Thought the first half was pretty even, both defences on top and a real lack of attacking quality. Undoubtedly the turning point was Ricky Miller coming on, completely changed the game and lifted the whole team, Casey couldn’t handle him - thankfully...
Yes, strange one because he was brilliant last season but started off this season so poorly, was at fault for about 5 goals in our first 5 games, and can’t see him getting back in now we’ve decided to keep James.
We’ve signed Jermaine Anderson, played a few games in the EFL with Peterborough and Bradford, came on yesterday for the last 20 and generally looked tidy.
We’ve also announced that our keeper Brad James is staying until the end of the season - good bit of business by the club, he’s been...
Strange game at the EBB today. First half was as good as I can remember us playing in a long time, our front 3 ran Daggers ragged and we really should have been 4 or 5 up at half time. Second half was a totally different game, Dagenham absolutely battered us and if it wasn’t for the heroics of...
Interesting one from us, see he’s played for quite a few clubs at this level and has a decent record, what’s he like? Can only assume it means McCormack is a long way from match fitness, and Bettamer is going to be out for a few weeks (international duty then quarantine). There’s talk that...
Don’t think any of us lot will be offended by that because it’s true, we are a poor side and we were lucky to come up against a side who haven’t played in 3 weeks. We simply needed a win today, Searle’s got into a bit of a habit of picking up wins when the pressure is on (was similar last season...
We were embarrassing today, both during the game and after it. No idea what that was all about after the final whistle. You were light years ahead of us, fitter, winning the ball in midfield and taking your chances. Better team won.
I know it’s early days but I’m fearful for this season. 2 defeats in 2, tonight was a carbon copy of Saturday - go 1-0 down before half time, start playing in the second half, get back to 1-1 with about 15 to go and concede 5 minutes from the end. Doesn’t help that our “state of the art”...
Can’t tell you how good it feels to see a matchday thread again. We start off at Hartlepool, the sort of game we’ll either get stuffed 4-0 or win comfortably 2-0. We’ve had a fairly uninspiring pre season, won a few, lost a few and I think a lot of our hopes are pinned on Ross McCormack, who...
FA have just released their guidance for FA cup this weekend.
Elite club v elite club - no fans
Elite club v non elite club - no fans
Non elite club v elite club - home fans only
Non elite club v non elite club - home and away fans
National League Statement: there is no statement. 9 days until kick off and still no idea what is happening. Surely they’ve had all summer to get contingencies in place for this exact situation? Also feel for teams in the NLN/NLS, FA cup draw made tomorrow...
For us, I’d probably go:
Walker
Fowler Finney Sendles-White Colombie
Nouble Rees Whittingham Tanner
Bettamer McCormack
Pretty different to last season, especially going forwards. I’d say on paper we’re stronger than last season, but difficult to tell at this stage. Will be interesting to see...
