Re: Elliot Romain out on loan

Think in the past he'd have been a typical JS player. Works harder than most of our forwards combined. These days we seem to be happy to give opposition defenders ages on the ball. Oh for the days of CMS.

Re: Is The National League About To Lose Its Credabilty

I hate playing on them and generally think the game as a spectacle suffers too. Even the best ones with appropriate footwear never seem to give the same foothold and ability to change direction. The bounce is still different as is the run of the ball. On the plus side you don't get irregular bounces...

Re: We should buy this bloke from Cray.

Our finishing as a team is poor though. We have created shedloads and missed them lately. Ferrier probably takes 1 in 4 at best and same goes for Fejiri. The midfield have pretty much no goals. Cheek is a very good goalscorer but for me you need more to play as a target man like we're trying. The ba...

Re: Free Saturday

Don't tend to watch much other than the daggers these days. The things which go on in football games seem to get worse by the season. All the stuff I disliked about the prem has gradually permeated the lower leagues.

Re: What would you change after last night defeat.

I would be looking to sign some players this week and maybe move some others out on loan to make space in the wage budget. Adams doesn't even get on the bench at the moment so I'd try to find him game time elsewhere. I think he's decent but I prefer Howell and Robinson in his role. Pennell, either p...

Re: Piss Poor

There aren't many in this division in that case. I concede we didn't play that well at Aldershot. I thought we also played well at Woking who are decent but somehow managed to lose. I just can't see that slowing down in midfield is hurting us much as we have scored and created a lot this season.

Re: Piss Poor

Think we've played pretty well against most of the top sides. Unfortunate against Wrexham, beat Boreham away and Macclesfield and Bromley, point at Aldershot. Only real bad one I can think of was Sutton. We created plenty of chances so can't agree with that summary. I do agree with Charlie above tha...

Re: Piss Poor

Minor point but really winds me up our players 'liking' individual praise on twitter after a loss. It's a team game ffs!!!

Re: Piss Poor

I actually thought Ferrier coming in was the right selection and thought our first 11 was correct apart from not including Doe. Everything we did first half was through Ferrier and yes his end product can be very frustrating but we created plenty. For me our problems stem from a few key things. We d...

Re: Better

Think I'm getting my chances mixed up. There was another where Sparkes got in behind after the offside goal.

Needless to say I disagree with the rest of the summary :)

Re: Ins/Outs during January?

Let's be honest nobody is going to bid over 250k for a 26 year old conference player who hasn't played well for 3 months. I'd love him to rediscover his form here and when he's playing well he's a joy to watch. If the manager doesn't think that is likely to happen soon we may cash in. If he's going ...

Re: Better

I believe Boucaud also played an excellent ball forward inside the full back which led to Fejiri offside goal. Will need to check highlights. He passes forward to feet plenty, he doesn't generally get high enough to play the through balls because he's normally playing the deeper role. Tbf how many p...
