How olds the keeper?

He's only just turned 18 a month ago.

What the hell has even been this year.....

This won't just stop in league two.

Dabo should have been off, agreed. We were already 1-0 down though, the other two you mention, I don't think were fouls. 2-0 to the ref is certainly stretching it!

I disagree. The ref is clueless, totally inept. Every time the ball goes out of play, he hasn't a clue whose throw it is. He's making up as he goes along

 

[geoffmundo]

He's 18.

Like most of our team (except Coker who is 16)

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Still waiting to (yeeeee haaaa)...
Looks like I'll have to bank it for now...

 

[rayleigh dan]

Make it stop

It's horrible, I feel sorry for the kids who've all worked so hard today. The blame's 100% Ron's, if you'd managed your budget better and payed the Dec wages we wouldn't be in this mess!

A word for Tom Clifford though, he looks the real deal, very impressed again.

Big worried future we have league 2 next season hardly any players I feel we will get relegated to national league

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Keep going. Sam manton is excellent

You say that every game though! There's natural bias towards your team and then there's DWB bias.

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Point in case. Clifford just win the ball cleanly. Their player fell over so the ref gives a foul. Literally no clue

We have a lot of ****e refs. This is the second game this season a ref has bottled a second yellow card

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Hey ho FT 0-2

 

[geoffmundo]

Keep going. Sam manton is excellent

Unfortunately, we are only going in one direction......

If you want to believe refs are our main problem that's fine with me. I agree with your comment re the second yellow cards. However many were saying we were lucky not to have one sent off (Demi?) on Tuesday.

Blame the man who deserves it..... RON!

S***! I missed that substitution.

Talking of which, does anyone know what the average age of our team is now when we include Callum Taylor in place of Oxley.

 

[rayleigh dan]

Only 2-0, valiant effort from the boys. Clifford the standout for me again. UTB.

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

We are so far away from the standard required for this league. Painful to watch. Men against boys. what a helpless situation we are in. Depressing times...to be continued

Well if you look at the 11 that finished today, must be early 20's, only Milligan, Mantom and Dieng are over 21.

Proud of the youths. Again. Well done to the team. We have some fine talent that is learning game by game and will be enough to keep us up in league 2. A few additions and we could very well bounce straight back up. This side has commitment, pride and passion. We might be losing but the tide will turn and these lads will have earned it. UTB
