losing 4-2

Abysmal. 1-4 at halftime, they scored evry chance they had - back4 and goalie too casual and asleep. Nobody in midfield getting foor on the ball. Griff off injured with a groin strain just before the break. Rudge audible above the PA going absolutely crazy at the them in the dressing room while praise heaped on Adie and CTYFC on the pitch during the break. 2nd half much better but thats hardly a compliment! Anyone fancy the vacant director of football job - we need the help!

Tend to agree, what exactly is their role, all it would need is a phone call between the reserves manager and Rudgey regarding any players who are considered worthy of first team involvement, even if that's just training.

Good luck Mingsy, look forward to seeing Chelsea in pre season.

As for today...another shambles at the back starting with the keeper. It's not good enough to sign a keeper because "he's got a good kick" he also has to be able to stop the ball, something ours is incapable of doing.

Agree with the posts above, a new keeper, a commanding centre half and a striker as a minimum. Gilroy was a good player but isn't worthy of a starting place now.

Too early to be calling for Rudgey's head especially as it was generally agreed that we had a tough start to the season but how long will the board let things continue especially if we slip up on Saturday....

Am I alone in thinking that the DF would support the fledgeling manager? Good luck to Mingo in his new role, but it seems even this early that Rudgie has been cast adrift. 13 goals conceded already in a team that looked half decent on paper just 4 weeks ago. Though once again we are seeing how tight this Southern League is with only two teams unbeaten at the end of August. I anticipate10th downwards will be looking over their shoulders until April, that doesn't help us, but it's the way this league is shaping up.
