[Austin the Shrimper]

Ffs .. should have done better lad

 

[Holy Joe]

Is the camera man shaking the camera to say it wasn't offside?

 

[Worcester Shrimper64]

Bollocks- but at least we created
They look as crap as us

But with 17 more points.

 

[KiwiRob]

Terrible finish from Rush but he did well to find so much space in the box, it's something most of our strikers struggle with.

Yes, I was going to say at least he was there to miss it!

Is the camera man shaking the camera to say it wasn't offside?

I think he had a few drinks before kickoff!

 

[Westcliff DGS]

He’s a kid, nervous, needs a goal... it’ll come

He is yes, but I can’t make an excuse for him there, sure he did something similar last season too before lockdown in front of the south stand

 

[duncan bulgaria]

Growing into the game ; FG are clearly a better side man for man but we are holding our own and I’m hoping that FG mess up and hand us a goal through over playing

Can’t question our effort and work rate so far

 

[Barling Magna]

Rush should have realised what Goodship was doing there......poor anticipation on his behalf. Wake up son, you're better than this.

 

[Chalky]

Young Matty should of tucked there but the most positive thing here is that we are creating chances.

 

[Shrimper]

Dare I say this is our best 45 minutes of the season so far?

 

[Barling Magna]

FGR should have done better there. Good defence by Hobson.

Is the camera man shaking the camera to say it wasn't offside?

I think he’s on a boat by the looks

 

[Cricko]

Dare I say this is our best 45 minutes of the season so far?

Seriously? we havent had a shot and they are terrible.

 

[Jcd]

Hobson looks completely different from the player he was at the start of the season. Really grown in confidence.

 

[GBJ]

He is yes, but I can’t make an excuse for him there, sure he did something similar last season too before lockdown in front of the south stand

If he hadn’t been scoring for the yoofs, I’d say there may be a cause for concern.

I’d put the miss down to nerves more than anything. He will know it was a sitter, and that he should have done better.

The positive here is that he got into the right position to begin with.

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Emile would have scored.

Scratch that, I would have scored that.

Scratch that, My 90 year old neighbour would have scored that.

 

[OrangeyBrown]

Seriously? we havent had a shot.

I don't think this is our best 45 of the season, but we've definitely had at least one shot and it should have been a goal!

 

[Barling Magna]

4 seconds before the whistle.....and we give away a free kick there....
