Devastating defeat at the end. Not deserved.

Leighton Tuodolo was excellent, what an academy we have producing players like him, Caine, Will King, Landon, Noah, Ola - we are very lucky on that front.

Problems though are obvious, clock is ticking on Greenslade for me, missing too many good chances.  Bray looks a shadow of himself since coming back.

No Parker, Hamilton, Hanks, Fasanada, Tizzard, Jones, Simpson, King. I’m told Jordan Young is playing through an injury too. To have all those out and still play like we did is remarkable. Take 8 players out of any team and see what happens to them.

Play like that every game and the wins will come-a-plenty.

I think the Voice must have been watching the game through not one but two pairs of blue tinted glasses! A terrible game with two poor sides. We didn’t deserve to lose as neither side deserved to win. For most of the game either side looked capable of stringing 2 decent passes together.The only positives l could see were the performances of the young lad at left back and Gunner who seemed to play as if he had a point to make.
We may have been without a number of players tonight but results have pretty much been similar all season regardless who plays. In 7 out of the 13 league games we have failed to score . It seems to me we seem to start a game on the basis of playing not to lose rather than trying to win. How many times do you see it in a game when we have defended a corner with 10 or even 11 players back. Even leaving one player up front means if he gets the ball he has no support whatsoever and back goes the ball putting the defence under more pressure. Can’t fault any player in terms of the commitment or effort but this alone doesn’t win football matches. We have the worst attacks but fortunately one of the best defences or goodness knows what our league position would be. Hopefully when Fasenmade is fit he will made a difference as something needs to change.
Final point. Why when you post on here pointing out what you witness on the pitch in some peoples eyes you are moaning when all you are doing is pointing out the obvious

 

Amazing how it differs in opinion. Thought it was a good game, not awash with chances but thought we played some nice football and had the better chances.

Here we go again, one person makes a comment being disappointed with the game and we are all accused of being moans Yawn.
I browse other clubs forums and they are not like here, they respect peoples opinions and discuss the game. on here its like you can't criticise  the team with the blue tinted gang getting aggressive and sometimes personnel.
I said before its my right as a paying fan to be allowed to comment on performance, the bar is full of people doing it, but you won't hear me criticising the volunteers publicly, they do a great job. Remember the players are being paid.
On to the game.
I said before earlier in the season that we are a hard watch and got shot down in flames by the BTB.
Anyone really think that was entertaining last night?....really?
Yes we had players out, yes the young left back did well, especially going forward but we just don't create in the final 3rd, despite (sometimes) playing quite well to get the ball there.
We play at home like we are the away team. defend really deep and try to hit them on the counter.
We are able get some decent quality in on loan at the back, Tissard and Minturn but I have been disappointed with the two lads we have had in on loan up front in Seb and Harley. Yes they work hard and run like the wind but they are there to score goals which has not happened.
Think its time we go into loan market again and bring someone in up top who can play along side Fasenmade. Might give Jordon a rest then. He can get fit a come back stronger.

We are going to have a huge captive audience attending the Lincoln game who don't normally attend. Need to get them coming back by playing well and entertaining in the games following the FA Cup (if we lose)  ;-)

Concord game will show us where we are.

Unlucky last night, it was a good game to watch, and young Leighton making his debut looked very good.  Just need some fire power up front.

Couldn’t fault the effort last night from the team.Thought despite the covid issue is wasn’t a under strength team. Have noticed recently the number of times we have players blocked off the ball when we are attacking, could be a reason why we don’t get players in the box.Also the linesman in second -half gave a very dubious free kick to Hemel for a nothing challenge.Agree that the missing piece of the jigsaw is a striker, but we knew that at the start of the friendlies.Does anybody know the situation with Will Richards and Will Tizzard on there red cards from the Hendon games.Finally thanks to Tina and her helpers for issuing tickets for the Lincoln game, saved me a journey as I don’t live in Chippenham.
