Re: Salisbury MOTM Poll
A game we desperately needed to win. Shot ourselves in the foot in the first half, as opposed to shooting at their goal, but given a lifeline with the own goal. A more dynamic second half and a deserved equaliser, albeit wind assisted. Could have taken all three points with the crossbar coming to their rescue, although they could well have done the same, so a draw probably a fair result overall. Good to see Parsons back and looking quite sharp - we’re going to need him.
The next two games, away at Maidstone and Eastbourne, are games we must get points from. Failing that I can’t see us surviving.

Re: Salisbury MOTM Poll
This was an opportunity to kick-start our recovery and therefore an opportunity missed.I found the ground to be eerily quiet apart from frantic shouts from the coaches. Normally to come back from 2 down to gain a point would have been ok, but not in this position. I thought it was the story of the season really, lots of possession but no end product (neither of our goals came from open play). The summer recruits have hardly scored a goal between them in these first 15 games. There's plenty of games left but it's not looking good.
Fair play to the Salisbury fans for standing out in the rain all evening.

Re: Salisbury MOTM Poll
Last was really more of the same. First half not good then second half big improvement but no end product. Not much use having majority of the possession but don't do anything with it.
Still seems to be a defensive bias. Time and again last night one player with the ball moving forward great position to cross into the penalty area and nobody there! And why pull everyone back when opposition get a corner as that allows opponents to push more players forward. When we got a corner last night Salisbury left a player on the half way line meaning we had two players back marking equals less of our players in an attacking position.
Don't really agree with the comment about the goals the strikers recruited in the summer have scored. Everyone of them has been in and out of the starting 11 giving them little chance to show what they can do.
