I see no issue against a side that are two leagues below us and only mid table, it’s like us taking on Melksham. We will be hungry for victory following the Ebbsfleet mauling, Ebbsfleet last season were not anywhere near this seasons level. Three nil, 725 attendance.

As much as I want to be optimistic I agree more with AJG than Reginald on this one. A lot depends on what side we can put out (who was the new guy Tuesday?) This looks a very tricky fixture to me. The weather forecast looks bad again which might keep a few away so I will optimistically go for 622 and a 2-1 win. COYB

Disappointing day all around, both result and crowd.

Can’t disagree with the above.
Cook spent the whole game on the bench not wanting to get wet.
But clueless, no passion or tactics.
Pump the ball up to the big guy who couldn’t trap a fart, won nothing all game, came straight back at us.
Stearn spends to much time moaning rather than playing.

The other thing I ask, we have a manger, assistant, head coach, coach(Horgan) a couple of guys doing analysis/stats/ camera etc.. so so we need all of this? Does it eat into the playing budget?

It’s going to be a long season

Woeful today, we struggled with the conditions and very quickly resorted to hoof and hope but previous two posters questioning Cook... Have you not seen where we are in the table??

Not questioning Cook position at all, but he does set the tactics or were you happy with hoof ball up to Jackson, which their large centre backs delt with easily all game.
Also  he did sit on the bench the whole game. That lack of passion fed through to the players.
And we won’t be staying in that lofty position for long playing like that.
That said Hasting time wasting tactics were very frustrating.
Since when have gel and water been allows to be thrown on the pitch when the ball goes out for throw!!
And a guy opening the gate to come onto the field of play to dry the ball with a towel!!
Ref should have stopped it.
