Views from the Sieve

Yesterday was my 7th away of the season. Only seen 1 win, against Chelmsford. It’s a disgrace that we can’t beat village pub teams.

Absolute dross served up, zero enjoyment watching that crap.

Their chips were good though. £4 or £3.50 if bought with a burger.
The burger was £7 but quite tasty.

Feasibly one of the worst games of football I've seen in 60 years. Our performance was appallingly poor against a team who conceded 8 a couple of weeks ago and have so little money they have to play their players on a game by game basis. No system of play, no strength, no pace, no threat. Some performances notably Stephenson's, Oteh's, Marsh's, Harrack's and Nortey's were jaw droppingly abysmal with the rest only marginally better. The very basics of shielding, trapping the ball, executing five yard passes were absent.

The team selection and tactics were even more baffling. If we were missing Haigh, the self evident replacement had to be Young but we didn't see him until 20 minutes to go. a youngster with real pace and ability, Hayden, not seen till the last 5 minutes.

I have had some sympathy with Bradbury trying to manage a side throughout season long ownership doubts and confusions and following the trauma of a shocking relegation but this was inexcusable and I think now we need a change and he sooner the better

A spectacle so mind-numbingly tedious that the youngsters not yet fully drained of appetite preferred to stage a makeshift Sports' Day behind the stand while announcements of added minutes were booed with genuine sincerity.

It’s a relief that the new consortium has now been announced, because if we had to put up with Lee Bradbury’s idea of football much longer we would all lose the will to live.

Has there been more investors announced? Nothing on the Daggers website and I certainly expect more to be be declared.
