Saturday we deserved everything got nothing, tonight we deserved nothing and got nothing.
Must say Sutton are very good at what they do and the winner to me always looked on cards. That said they were aided by a ref who is this weeks muppet so they send him to us, thought he was shocking.
Must agree with the comment about Feji looks miles off it at moment.
Their equaliser was as bad as the Ebsfleet one the other week , complete shambles.
The new lad looked good , his first effort reminded me of John Akinde at Exeter a number of years ago took the ball a fair way but did not finish it and HOWELLs won't sleep for a week.
What a league this is , top of the league last week , knocked off Saturday, back to the top briefly tonight and end up 8th. Don't want to worry danybody but lose Saturday and we could be in bottom half.
TOO MANY NO LOOK PASSES
Is it just me irritated by the flash touches? Sure it looks great when it comes off and if we'd have won I doubt I'd have raised it. Passing was poor anyway. I spose if you play on a plastic pitch it's faster so a wet grass one was right up Sutton street.
Bollix to Shampoo, it's real poo we want !
If by flash touches you mean trying to lay the ball off and move it quickly then no it isn't annoying it is an attempt to create things.
It isn't like they're all trying rabona or backheels. I don't think it was flash touches giving it away just bad or scuffed touches.
The conditions were a leveller last night and it is difficult to remember us playing well in the rain. We rely on the ball into the channels which skids off and quick passing which is difficult to control in that. Teams like Sutton who are up and at it aren't affected much.

Would rather we went back to what was described on here as 'hoof ball' if it means less passing the ball around at the back and getting the ball to the forwards quicker then all for it. Encouraging from Kandy and should hopefully utilise his pace for the 'hoof ball'

What a horrible frustrating night it was last night!
Unfortunately we didn't seem to adjust to the conditions ars well as they did, it was a shoot on sight day with the ball flying around in the wind and skipping off the wet surface. Corey almost got it right from the first of his second half free kicks, then skied the second one, grrrr, I found the number of unchallenged headers they had at the back and middle of the park most annoying too.
As noted Fejiri is right off the boil at the moment, looks half the player he did last season for some reason, reminds me a bit of a "want away" Hawkins it terms of effort and attitude. Presuming he was one of the players we had offers for in the Summer, is his head right??
The lack of a proper left back contonues to bite, with Ling playing out of position last night. Nunn looks ok though. Kandi did wellwhen he came on and is definitely quick, remains to be seen if he can finish though, although he was unlucky with his run from the left when Howells somehow missed the rebound. I am also confused by the final substitution, it was a time to press for a result, not accept the point which taking Ferrier off seemed to indicate.
No one seems to be able to put a run together yet to pull away in the table though, all to play for. Need to stop the rot on Saturday though.

Don't think Ferrier was having a great game but I was surprised he was taken of.
With Sutton going forward to find the win, if they ball breaks to Ferrier you know he has the control and power with the ball at his feet to be able to beat a man, or at the very least hold the opposition off to allow others to get forward.
Kandi looked good at least. Shame his good work down the left didn't result in a goal.
(Lovely football for the first as well by the way, topped off by a fantastic finish from Corey).

Fejiri looks to have no confidence at all. There's 2 ways he can solve this. Number 1 is work his nuts off to protect his full back and do simple things first. At the moment he isn't doing this. Number 2 is spend some time out of the firing line. I fear it may have to be the second as he's had enough chances to apply himself and not taken them.

Think Fejiri is suffering from the two awful challenges he was on the end of last season. Since those challenges and he return he does not look the same player.
To echo many of the above sentiments, we just didn't apply ourselves to the conditions as well as Sutton did. Personally, I'd like to see a fit Scotty Doe back asap for a bit of leadership on the pitch.
Do very much like the look of the new chap Kandi - I'd have no issue with him starting Saturday, especially if Cheek is still out injured.
Alas, I very much dislike the look of Jake Howells. He must've been decent to have secured professional football contracts in the past, can only guess it's his injuries that have left him now appearing unable to walk properly - let alone look like he can play football.

Doesn't like you like quick, one touch passing nor the hoof ball.... do you like watching football ?ARNU wrote:Is it just me irritated by the flash touches?

I like hoofball when it's done well. The one touch stuff is great when it comes off. But when you're playing a good team in harsh conditions and it's 1-1 with minutes to go keeping it simple would be well advised. Maybe we wouldn't have conceded in the 93rd minute had we kept it simple.
