Re: Woking..

Wild inconsistency really is the main issue. We have taken some tonkings from the top sides recently but we have also beaten Chesterfield away this season and ended last with a win over Wrexham that on the day could have been 5 or 6. Equally one can point to Dorking away and last Saturday as example...

Re: New Manager

Sad fella that I am I've looked through the archives on this forum and went back to Jan 3rd 2020 and overwhelmingly McMahon was supported. Here are some verbatim quotes - 'Over the moon with Daryl' - 'Well done the Board - praise where praise is due' - 'The most forward thinking manager since Gary H...

Re: New Manager

I too think it's time now for somebody else to have a go as manager but there has been a bit of rewriting of history on this forum as I can recall that the majority of the fanbase wanted McMahon and indeed wanted him instead of Garrard. I don't know where or why it's gone wrong given his reasonable ...

Re: Dorking (A) Grumbles

Well I never. Sagaf dropped again after an all action performance and high pressing last week and the pedestrian Rance back in. After the best part of 2 years out with leg injuries Phipps is back for a full game for the first time in ages on an artificial pitch. I hope he knows what he is doing but ...

Re: Barnet (H) consternations here please

One of the key problems is not fielding the same side two games running and not fielding the same back 3/4 all season. It looks like we will be without Villette now for a long while and Mac Callum's concussion will rule him out next week in all probability. Some of the issues stem from wilful incons...

Re: York City (A) grievances before, during and after the fixture here

I have to say the cancelling of all football today is a bit of a nonsense. As far as I can see cricket and rugby are taking place today, horse racing tomorrow and most shops, places of entertainment as well as the stock exchange were open yesterday. What are we supposed to do? Sit at home watching o...

Re: Notts County (H) Pre- During- Post-fixture discussion. Perturbations about Notts County (H) here please.

If he thought Tavares had a good game, truly God help us. He was at fault for at least one, probably two goals and spent most of the afternoon miscuing the ball to the opposition. It was the worst game Robbo has had in years and his body language looked suicidal at times. Hardly inspirational for a ...

Re: Notts County (H) Pre- During- Post-fixture discussion. Perturbations about Notts County (H) here please.

On what basis do we know that the 'owners are on their way.' That didn't seem to be the case given their behaviour on the last day of last season against Wrexham, They are great blokes and have been fully committed but perhaps the forthcoming economic whirlwind as well as managerial ineptitude on th...

That Mr.MCMahon was what a play off chasing, and probably attaining, side looks like. This side is miles off it even though in theory we have a squad the majority of whom have played at a much higher level and many of whom are on the highest salaries in the league. There is no consistency, no patter...

Re: Maidenhead United (H) in-game and post-game complaints here please

Well we won but apart from that I was entirely underwhelmed again. No cohesion. No fluidity. The opposition were dire but they still should have won by 2 or 3 clear goals and but for Justham would have. This team is going nowhere fast. Bottom 8 if we are lucky.

Re: Eastleigh (A) in-game and post game discussion

With the time he has had and the resources he has had patience is wearing thin. No obvious footballing philosophy, no apparent rationale in recruitment and team selection. It seems we are getting worse not better. If we are not in the top six by the end of October - and how likely is that?- someone ...

Re: Gateshead (H) in-game and post game thoughts

I have to say I couldn't believe the line up when I saw it before the match. As far as I know Hare has never played central defence and he plays instead of two central defenders one of whom, when he came on, was our best player, even if he only played 45 minutes. Utterly bizarre. Sagaf who always se...

Re: Boreham Wood..

Appalling performance I'm afraid. Only one shot on target. BH still looked the most likely to win even though it seemed as if they didn't really want to or try to. I can't fault the effort but the ability isn't there. Next season I would have a major clear out. As others have said the whole back lin...

Re: Sagaf

Maybe it's the case that he wants to go after being left out for five games for the likes of Jones, Comley and Rance whilst being our best player for most of the season and on Saturday too, albeit as substitute. Who could blame him.
