[HypoTypo]

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Player of the season off. Marvellous.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

OMG can it get any worse. Taylor Moore off ..........hamstring? Can we stop this one now, PLEASE?

 

[HypoTypo]

Player of the season off. Marvellous.

Really bad news ..... Just our luck

 

[Boreham Blue]

The night just gets worse with Moore limping off. The only positive I can see so far is that Theo is banned for the next game.

 

[mattitouk]

Sounds serious to me.

Hutchinson coming on.

 

[Shrimper]

Stands to reason what with us getting Lennon back, have to another going out.

 

[amsemp]

What an absolute disaster this game has been

 

[united we stand]

That bell is bloody annoying. At matches you can ignore it but difficult when listening on the radio. On a positive side, working late so have only heard 5 mins

 

[SeaSideDoughnut]

I've gone for a near complete young side that isn't even possible with the team selection rules.

Point being, let's see some rotation. I'm not too fussed about this game. With our injuries currently and the lack of options I see it as one less opportunity for players to be rested. Playing in to that, more chance they could get injured too.

I don't usually quote things I've said I'm that much of a ****. But it's not often I'm right... Must have jinxed it.

The thing that's irritating is that this was perfect for trying the younger guys who have played together in the U23's this season and rested key players for the upcoming league matches.

 

[Boreham Blue]

Hutchinson hatrick coming up and all talk of a new striker disappear

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

Hutchinson isn’t a striker

People would then moan he isn't playing first teamers.

 

[AndyT]

I wouldn't though.

We could still play 7 first teamers.

Would playing Hutchinson, Wabo, Ba and Klass really have been such a hardship.

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

That bell is bloody annoying.

Probably the only noise to be heard in the ground?.
By all reports a totally depressing display so far, & still a week to go before the credit card bills drop through the letterbox.
Anything less than a positive display & result against 22nd placed Plymouth on Sat, will have me calling Samaritans, I fear.

In fairness, I think Robinson is not our only problem.

 

[Boreham Blue]

In fairness, I think Robinson is not our only problem.

I never said he was our only problem but he’s been woeful again.

 

[HypoTypo]

Nothing from 3 corners on the bounce ...... Unbelievable
