Re: Darlington V Bishops Stortford
When we're 2 nil down at home, playing against 10 men against the team bottom of the league, our tactic was to pull all 11 players back into the penalty area to defend the corner. Absolutely clueless tactics. That was amongst the worst performances I've seen in the last 68 years That’s the thing th...

Re: Do it tonight Johnson
So it was obvious from minute 1 that their manager had a game plan and that was to man mark our midfielders and not let us play apart from sideways and backwards, and it worked. Our manager had the same game plan of playing 2 defensive midfielders who barely get anywhere near the oppos penalty box, ...

Re: Darlington V Bishops Stortford
:? Questions for Gowling from todays match: Why continue to play on his day one of the best midfielders at our level on the wing? Why continue with 2 defensive midfielders when 0-2 down at home against bottom of league? Why sign a player who is clearly miles away from fitness and pay him more than a...

Re: Gloucester (A)
Can only see it as a positive around team spirit to me. To have the fans, players and management chipping in together suggests to me a good spirit and desire to get a result. Mind you, for me given JG has had 8 or so consecutive sessions now with his players all on plastic there really is no excuse ...

Re: Gloucester (A)
Well, after what feels like a while without a game (not sure if that's a good or bad thing these days) it's likely we'll get back to playing on Saturday away to Gloucester. Our opponents winning in midweek means we slip to 23rd in the league, but defeats for Kings Lynn and Peterborough Sports meant...

Re: Banbury v Darlo
Not such a bad thing I reckon. By next game they will have had, what, 8 consecutive training sessions to embed exactly how JG wants to play. Asante should be a lot fitter, some of the injured have been given a break, and he’s been allowed to bring in another couple of players. No excuses now, the ne...

No interview with the new player and no mention of him in Josh's interview for Banbury. No wonder no one seems that interested in this signing. And that’s part of the problem at moment, nothing seems linked together. We sign a new player, creates some interest and conversation and the manager doesn...

With this guy in charge we are going down. Draws at home against 2 absolutely crap teams is simply not good enough.

Cannot believe the club issues a press release about Hazel leaving and in same short article say watch his hat trick against Telford just to remind us how good he was!

Re: Jacob Hazel
You can only win by scoring goals, team should of been built round him to bring out the best of his talents. We don’t often come across “natural” goal scorers and Hazel is one. Harry Kane would have struggled to score for us given the amount of chances we have created this season and back end of la...

Yes the players capitulated and have to take the blame for this defeat, but which manager in their right mind keeps 3 attacking players on the field when we're 3 down, then 4 down, then 5 down. We're going to lose the game at that stage, so shut up shop as best you can and limit the damage. I'm not...

Have never felt as embarrassed by a Darlo performance as tonight. Of course the sending off was a big factor but what happened after that showed exactly why we are where we are. No bottle, no desire and no backbone. Did their keeper touch the ball more than about 3/4 times, think not. That’s 3 conse...

What the hell is Gowling laughing at? It’s his team that is showing no backbone whatsoever. Why make a sub literally 30 seconds from half time.
He should not be laughing, the guy so winds me up!!!

Re: Chorley
Totally embarrassing.
Horror tackle by Nelson no excuse.
We just cannot pass to a blue shirt, just hoofing it clear and back it comes. Without doubt the worst I’ve seen ud play since we reformed.
Not sure their goalkeeper has touched the ball and it’s almost half time.

Re: Darlo v Chester
Hazel's strengths are definitely not his hold-up/link-up play, even though he did get 11 assists last season. However, inside the penalty box he is a serial goal-scorer/chance-getter, and that, if he does depart, will be very hard to replace. He scored 21 non-penalty goals last season. That is ridi...

Massive mistake to let go the only player at our club who is capable of scoring 20 goals a season. It beggars belief if we sell him. Spot on. The grief he is currently getting is crazy.
