Glenn Pennyfather has apologised for moaning - too many wrong decisions - short passing when they should be playing long into Waldron and Cardwell’s runs.

Thought Bridge has been a lot better without Ralph getting in the way and crowding that flank. They can’t cope with him running at them.

But - our marking at set pieces ……

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

Useless. Eastleigh doing what we couldn’t do Saturday against the pathetic Oxford. Shows just how BAD we are.

Also shows they have Paul McCallum up top who is a natural finisher and brilliant at this level. He was someone this management team wanted but thanks to Ron, we couldn't get.

I've said it so many times, imagine if we had him up top finishing all the chances that we create?!

We are not 'BAD'. That would imply we are a terrible team across the park. We are fundamentally 'BAD' at taking our chances.

Willing runners into channels..get the ball in final third....then play in their half.....Paul sturrock 1 oh 1

Maidenhead will fancy this in 2nd half with us being so fragile.

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Go 1-0 up after 10 mins then just start lauding it, passing it around, going backwards and strolling about with zero intention of adding to the 1-0.

Utter garbage the last 25 mins of that half.

 

[Boreham Blue]

I thought we started off really pushing forward, but if didn't last long.

Agreed and he started playing some lovely passes but then drifted to the right hand side and turning back and passing backwards. On one occasion all the way to Crowther who then mi**** his pass and gave the ball away. We just invite too much pressure at times.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Poor defending for the goal but didn't that start with a Maidenhead throw which was taken a good ten metres up the field from where the ball went out of play, much to KM's disgust?

For their goal Morton had the opportunity to play the ball through .. but played square and short - lost it - then Barratt gets fouled and 1-1

 

[amsemp]

I actually think Oli Coker has been a big miss. Can’t help but feel we look a better side with him in it.

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

Toothless.

Lackluster.

No threat from open play at all.

We are currently 2 points from safety with only 1 game in hand, we NEEED to win this game.

Anyway ... Here's a photo

Yeah we love passing around aimlessly at times. And I do want us to keep the ball of course but....have a look up, knock into a space up top sometimes, mix it up.

4 times no less and it’s only half time

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Clutching at straws now and have been for several week

Sigh of relief

 

[leeblue]

Let's go blues 2nd half winner pleeeeeease

 

[Fitz]

Letting Vilhete go was a huge mistake. Versatile player like that is priceless

He looked very very average every time I saw him play

 

[Holy Joe]

Penalty shout as Waldron goes down

We’re flirting with the relegation zone of the national league. Ten points deduction or not. Currently we are bad, very very bad.
