He needs to stop throwing himself on the deck and giving it the outstretched arms malarkey. For a big lump he doesn't half end up on the floor a lot.

In your attempt to avoid admitting you got the statistical analysis all wrong you are making yourself look increasingly foolish, which is an impressive achievement given where you started from. Well done.

Don't think when a very poor team beats a very dire team it changes much.

Stevenage are dreadfull and can hardly roll the beach towels out.

Be that as it may, they're 11 points ahead of us and averaging a point a game.

If Still isn't credited for the Stevenage win, then he still has 4 points from 5 games so still has a better points to games ratio than Burnetts.

Well it was 100% better last night then Saturday , we had 9 men on the pitch when we nearly forced the equaliser at the death. Yes it was not pretty but you could not take your eyes off it

The only thing I would have changed is I would of gone with Curo instead of Hawkins as I thought his I experianced showed at times.

At least we went for it second half and once again gave it everything. Really hope we stick with the two up top, personally I would like it to be Doidge and Cureton.

This hoofball thing is a tiresome point. We got the ball in the box and created chances. It was an exciting second half. Passing the ball around slowly is dull as dishwater.

The daftest thing is that the passing the ball around normally ended with it being played back to a defender or the goalkeeper who would then kick it long having given the opposition an age to get themselves set up.

He was out best player second half I thought.

Won every single header. Every single time.

I gave Burnett 3 points for the Stevenage game,you want Still to have them.Give them to Still if you want.Dosent alter a lot in terms of how many more points we are going to need.I' ve been to back to back losses and worry a 3rd is coming our way Saturday.

Well that's fair.Wasnt my main point really though.More to do with people slating Waynes choice of players then forgetting it all temporarily when Still apparently managed them to a win v Stevenage.Also JS won at Exeter with Waynes players too didn't he ?(Possibly Muldoon or Worrall may have played).Just for fun though....only won a point with his new additions.

Yeah Cureton is a ball to feet man ! Hawkins did very well.Hawkins and Doidge for me especially now we're hoofing it.Cureton and chambers wont get a head on anything Sussex and you know it.Pass the ball about Cureton and Chambers all day long.Cousins launched everything up into the wind again yesterday,we all know why or is he mental ?

I think we should've gone Doidge and Cureton although Hawkins did exceptionally well. I don't see the point in having two tall strikers playing up front because both seem a more aerial threat whereas Cureton is not.
