Bath (A)

[Lord Snooty]

As a long suffering Exile, I very rarely get to see the Mighty D&R in the flesh.
Tomorrow, however, is different. The Sister-in-Law lives in Bath and Lady Snooty has suggested a trip out to NE Somerset to spread the joy. The excitement is palpable as the hours tick down........
Any thoughts or expectations regarding the score?
Tally Ho!

Although we have won our last two away games having seen the highlights of each of these, the opposition had more than enough chances in the games to win them.
I'm hoping for a win but unless there is a change in formation cannot see us scoring many,so maybe a goalless draw.

He'll try to park the bus again, if it works I won't be complaining.

If Gitau is ok I'd imagine he'll replace Lawless, probably Scott on the bench. I long for the day he drops N'Guessan but can't see it happening. Just hope Haigh isn't recalled.

Haigh, Scott, Stephenson and Hemmings all on the bench.

Another point on the road.

A point on the road isn’t too bad when you’re talking national league and above as the opposition are also full time professionals, at our current level we should be rolling these sides over, I’m not meaning to disrespect Bath in any way but our target this season was to get back to the National league but we’re falling well short of what’s been needed and expected, at the end of the day (good old football cliche) our coaching staff are just not up to the required standard.

Spot on Len. It sounded like a pretty dull on the commentary both sides had an equal amount of chances but neither were able to score. Andy Carroll had chance of the game but still couldn’t score.

My thanks goes to Hornchurch for moving us up to 15th

My thanks goes to Hornchurch for moving us up to 15th

sadly every club below us has 1 or 2 matches to play to catch up to our match count. We could be in 20th place when that happens.

Yes, but equally the reason these teams are below us is because they haven't won too many games up to now, so the chances of them all winning is unlikely.
We will just have to wait and see.

We are improving but badly need
creativity in midfield and desperately
need a goal scorer.
Wilson and Hemmings big let downs

[Lord Snooty]

A dull game that neither side deserved to win (or lose for that matter).
According to the man on the tannoy, the first league meeting between D&R and Bath since 1996. How the mighty have fallen.
I was left with a series of questions;
Why do we keep playing the ball out of defence by passing it to opposition? Time and time again we just kept giving it away.
Why did Haigh, Scott and Hemmings not come on sooner? Once they were on we ripped Bath apart on both wings
Why isn't there any proper support for Carroll who won 90% of everything in the air only for no one to pick up on the lay-offs?
What is Wilson for?
Still, a point is a point. Even if it is only against a fellow bottom eight side. But I do dread to think how we will compete against teams in the top half of the table.
Enough whinging. I got to see the team for the first time in a long time. Digger Dagger!
And before I go – a big shout out to the 100 plus who made the trip. Well done.

Think we played Bath away in the FA Cup maybe 15 years ago. Believe it was a 1-0 win at their place and featured without a doubt the worst corner that has ever been taken in football history, where Dominic Green (I think) just missed the ball and twatted the flag.

Same old story though with Dagenham, setting up to not lose as the priority and then find ourselves missing out on points against teams that we should be winning. A perfect summary of Bradbury in his postmatch too. He describes himself as buzzing for the lads with the result. 0-0 away at Bath… God help us with him here

Pretty sure it was Gavin Tomlin that took that "corner". Yesterday's game was yet another dreadful match between two awful teams. Carroll had a golden chance in the first half but sliced a one vs one wide, though there may have been a bobble (according to the Bath fans, i wasn't that generous!). Otherwise, very little excitement to get behind.

Agree with the posts from Lord Snooty and Oxhead that say we need more creatively in midfield and a goalscorer to support Carroll up front and how disappointing Hemmings has been considering he scored around 30 goals last season.
Without these additions or changes to the squad the manager will continue to set up the team to not lose.
