Re: Darlington V Bishops Stortford

My guess is it was something like 60/40 wanting AA out, but reckon it must be 95/5 want Gowling gone as genuinely I do not know of one other supporter who wants him to stay. Given that the board are all die hards too, the stats must be the same? He has failed and continues to fail at basic requirem...

Re: Darlington V Bishops Stortford

The players didn't freeze with the enormity of a crunch clash with Bishop's Stortford. We were simply a dispirited, demoralised mess, poorly led, poorly organised with perplexing tactics following on from some poor recruitment. Sums it up perfectly 100%.Cannot get my head around playing Will wide r...

Think it was mentioned he may have had a stomach bug, not 100% certain, but if he was fit to play that's a monumental mistake by Gowling not putting him on the bench.

Where are the Gowling fan boys tonight? He needs to go now. Haway DJ, admit you nade a blunder and rectify it while we still have a slim chance of staying up.

Re: Do it tonight Johnson

What gets me is that we signed him to be a man manager, but has made (correct me if I am wrong) 12 signings and only 4 have made the starting 11 today with 1 making the bench… so out of 16 players 5 are his. Adding a whole new starting 11 plus one sub in his short 3 months in charge isn’t the sign ...

Re: Marske United

I reckon we should be keeping an eye on Stockton Town's Kevin Hayes who has scored 13 goals in 21 games so far this season, great going for someone who operates mainly out wide. Stockton are top of their league and yes it's two leagues down from us but he's only 24 and seems to be improving as they...

The fact we have signed an undercooked striker, yes with some kind of ability, and seems like everyone is pinning hopes on him. Isn't it more of a worry that we don't have the personnel to create the chances consistently? Yes, possibly an upgrade on Hazel but no guarantees he will bail us out on hi...
