[Amber Rebel]

looks like we might be in the **** THAT WAS A MUST WIN GAME

[Mr Rebel]

any info on if we had any chances, were unlucky, anything to give us hope??

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

NO

 

We were total $hit!

 

Yet another incompetant performance against another "average" side - how many times has that been said this season.

 

As bad, if not worse than last week against brook horse - no sign of any ability.

 

Subs made no difference and I am starting to question Betts ability as a manager.

 

Looks like the only management decisions are "we lost another game so lets bring in more new players".

 

I hope none of the players picked up their "expences" for the last two games and if they did they should be ashamed!!!!!

 

Get ready for combined counties football!

Yes that was very nearly as bad as last week. In fairness both sides were as poor as each other in the first-half, but in the second they were the better side. We had a few shots straight at their keeper, but never made him work.

 

There is not really much else to add. It really was a scrappy game on a dusty pitch.

 

Highlights of the match were all away from the pitch with a one gloved steward, Warren getting his 'home made drum kit' taken off him by a steward, and Martin losing out in a speed race with a seven-year old to retrieve the ball!

So Dave Barratt played?

It was pretty pathetic again.

 

The team that Betts puts out there has no shape, and has players playing out of position. We keep trying to play this 3-5-2 formation but keep getting caught out on the break, every time. Attacks just break down because our midfield is so disjointed.

 

Lee Riddell is a decent player but has been poor in the last two games because the poor sod keeps getting pushed into different positions - striker last week and midfield today. He was doing a fine job as sweeper alongside Harper and Daly while Connor was away, so why change that?

 

To top it all off, we're 2-0 down and we replace a striker with a striker, instead of taking off a defender or midfielder.

 

The answer is not to keep bringing new players in, because we've seen in previous games that our players can score goals and defend well at times, but to sort the bloody formation out into something more solid and get players playing in their best positions.

 

I agree the turnout wasn't great but those that didn't go should be glad.

 

Also, shame that Dave Thomas has left because he was looking like one of our better players.

[Martin]

I let him win!!! (Not really tired bloody hard and still lost!)

 

But I was still probably the quickest person on show in a Slough shirt.

 

Poor performance again, not as bad as last week but pretty bad. No real efforts on goal and looked disjointed.

[Reading Rebel]

Dave Thomas has left? and why? I hope it's a bloody good reason because he was looking one of our better players to get us out of this [****!!****] were in!!!.
