Sadly we were not playing a good Cambridge side, however, the Park players did well. Several fans were last night asking if Ian Harvey was still at the club, perhaps some would enlighten the fans! Surely that is not difficult, on the Club site we used to get a run down on players injuries etc, how long they would be out. Maybe Mark could let us know in his G&H column.

I was only thinking the other week that our bench looked very strong, and so it is when everyone's available, but no club at our level can cope with seven out injured or ill, plus Bally off playing netball. Arguably all eight would be first choice starters too.  It's a blessing in disguise that we have no game this Saturday.  Hopefully we'll look healthier by the time the next game comes around.   

We were all at sea in the first half.  Kent was unlucky with the penalty but he was forced to go walkabout a lot - so much so I thought he was in the tea-hut queue at one stage.  For what it's worth Smith was MOM for me, but a few others had off nights.  Write it off and move on.  

Bit of a difficult game to pass comment on really. You can't be too critical of the team performance due to so many changes but still have to say was a very poor performance and ended up being beaten by no more than an average side. I would agree with most of what hobgoblin has said and even though a makeshift team  one or two individual performances were below par and some of the passing was woeful. You can forgive passes going astray when under pressure but when under no pressure a pass goes straight to an opposition player standing a few yards from you or worse into touch as was happening a lot last night sorry but no excuse. Right decision to bring Taylor on (  why didn't he start?) but couldn't understand why Campbell was taken off. Allen, Grant and Jones all very similar players so why not take one of those off and stick Campbell out wide where he is so much more effective. Hardly any attacking down the wings and not until Smith was pushed forward down the right did we look anything like scoring. A final word about Cambridge. Must congratulate them on playing the game in a good spirit and was good to see a team just wanting to get on with the game even when in front.

Yes we can add Harvey and Philips to the MIA list, but  everyone on the pitch with the exception of Blackmore and newish signing Harry Grant has had extensive first team experience this season, starting or as a sub. Its not like we played a lot of the Park team as others seem to think. Crowd was poor but for a Dec Tues night with the option of European matches to watch in the warm on the TV, not unexpected and unlikely to improve numbers with a performance like that. The next couple of games need to be a big step up or the home Boxing Day game will be another disappointment.

I'm sure the team line-up was improvised at the last minute, but if there was a game plan I couldn't see it and if we were dominating why was Collier and Jones giving them an almighty rollicking at half time. Given Hungerford took a point off Poole we needed at least a point from this home game ourselves.

Love it when we lose, forum gets busy. I ask Newfan why did we need to take a point last night ?
