Fewest wins in the division & one of the lowest ‘goals for’ totals says it all. It’s all well and good signing goal scorers but you have to create chances for them. The club either needs to bring in somebody who can dictate play a bit or Gary needs to change the system of how we play. There’s no faulting the effort being made by the players but we just don’t look like scoring during games.

Tried to post on Worthing and see no more replies are allowed!! I don’t agree with a lot of the rubbish in that thread but restricting opinion is a bit extreme!!

Worthing defended well. Role reversal of Ebbsfleet game in my book and a handy point against a good team.

Must have been me last night on mobile, I'll look to re-open it now, it was done accidentally by yours truly.

Why on Earth "Topic Closed"?? ... a technical glitch I assume. I saw things differently last night.  It was certainly frustrating and exasperating at times... but I thought we were neither "woeful" nor "dreadful"...we just couldn't unlock an effective 10 man defence, who by curbing their own ambitions to protect their 1 point, stifled us in the final third.  We played our football,  but became more and more lateral  as the game progressed.  We had 2 or 3 golden chances, any one of which could have gone in.  Video evidence probably won't be able to confirm just how offside their goal appeared to be.  It certainly looked spectacularly so to our group in the Stand.. or else Ollie Pearce went on the B of the Bang.  Their goal was a  carbon copy of at least 2 of the Cheshunt goals.. long ball down the left,  we're beaten  for  pace, sharp coss ...  back of the net!  Excellent speedy response and  well taken Alex Bray goal. MM carrying an injury apparently, along with Will K, Leighton T, Joe H.  Worthing shut up shop, we were left frustrated. The main lesson to me is that instead of trying to pass our way through them ( as we attempted to do right up to the end) we should have probably adapted  to the situation much better and gone  long and much more quick and  direct to exploit the man advantage.   Some of our later build-ups were ponderous to say the least. It's what we have Joe Parker there for... pace and directness!!
