[GarySTFC]

Paulton down to ten men. Still 0-0 after about 30 minutes.

[GarySTFC]

Ten man Paulton take the lead. Riddell commits a foul on the edge of the area and Danny Boys slams the free kick past the wall and past the outstretched hand of Ketteridge.

 

0-1 and deserved lead for the visitors.

[GarySTFC]

Half time: Slough 0-1 Paulton.

[GarySTFC]

As I understand it, Bracknell are losing 4-0 at home to Farnborough.

[GarySTFC]

0-2. Slough caught with a long diagonal counter ball which released Ben Cleverley who took on Harper and his cross shot bounced back off the post. Pete Sheppard was first on hand to slide in the rebound.

[GarySTFC]

Rovers hit the bar twice in quick succession, but the ball is cleared.

[GarySTFC]

Jason Marney - 1-2. A cross from the right wing is misjudged by the away keeper.

[GarySTFC]

Finished 1-2.

and Gary forgot to mention that was one of the most pathetic home performances i've seen in many a season, and that includes us getting thumped by Bromley last season.

 

We had no clue from start to finish. So frustrated and pissed off!! Just lumped the ball up in the air. Second to evey loose ball and no pattern to our play. Don't know why supporters were slagging off the ref so much in the end. Yes, he did not have much of a clue, but was hardly his fault for our dysmal performance.

 

Also some wierd selections. Two players up front who have never played together making their full debuts? Yet this with Jermaine scoring twice in our last home game. OK, he did not play well against Godalming, but he should have started this game.

 

Then there are players like Barratt, Robinson, Nsubuga and Suarez. They are in and out every week. If the manager does not fancy playing them and trust them to play then why does he not move them on and get players he trusts in? It can't be doing their confidence much good.

 

We missed Daly and Davies (two big characters) but that's no excuse for a 'performance' as pathetic as that. I could have played in that standard today!

 

Last point is Dean Harper's sending off. Dean's one of my favourite players, but that was so, so unnecessary.Probably a four game ban (at least) and with Brian Conor soon going away on International duty that leaves us in real crap at the back.

 

I could go on, but i'd be here all night. At this rate we'll have to rely on Bracknell not picking up any points before the end of the season - pathetic Slough.

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

Slough(11 men) 1-2 Paulton(10 men) just about says it all.

 

Why did Betts & Barnard wait till the last 15 to bring on the two attacking players?

 

Tom made an instant impact by taking the ball to the line and crossing it in which was lacking up to that point in the game - Why Tom has not been used much this season is a major question that needs to be put to the man with all the coaching certificates as all those in the stands can see his ability!

 

How we did not win against 10 men also needs to be questioned and there was again a lack of communication all over the field especially with Meddi who just wanted to argue and bicker with anyone around him - how does he keep his place in the team?

 

Lets just hope that farnborough kept on scoring!

 

 

[Ted]

That was embarrassingly bad. Keep up this sort of performance and not only will we be deservedly relegated, but will struggle to survive in the Combined Counties, or whereever, next season.

 

Completely outplayed, yet again, by 10 men, little teamwork, poor committment, no skill, players arguing with each other, bizarre selections, Harper sent off after the match has finished and to my mind a number 10 who would struggle in a decent pub side, things are turning into a complete shambles. Time for some changes please, because what we have is badly broken.

[BFR]

Michael Murphy let the club down earlier in the season when he was sent off for dissent. Dean Harper was just as bad after the whistle had gone today to get his marching orders.

 

We were second best against a team reduced to 10 for most of the match. Quite what annoyed Harper so much at the end God only knows. But as has been said, likely to be a 4 match ban having been shown red earlier in the season.

 

Shambolic on the whole

 

Well done to Tom Attrell for his cameo towards the end.

[Martin]

Totally agree with Chris' assessment.

 

Was particularly disapppointed at the berating of the referee. He sent their lad off after 18 minutes (deservedly so) but many refs would have bottled it that early on. How much more of an invitation do we need to open a lead on Bracknell? Twice now this season we have been well beaten by ten men very disappointing.

 

I thought there was so much wrong today. Hugely disappointed and frustrated. I thought Marney tried hard and Attrell showed a lot after coming but otherwise very poor all round.

What did he do to make you think it's four games?

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

Its alright having plenty of coaching qualifications, but a good manager needs to understand tactics.

 

I did hear that Betts has a certificate in Tictac's from the Steve Browne academy.

[HEAVY TRUCKER]

what an utterly dismal performance today, again the long high ball ruled our game we are not good enough to play this way nor are our team tall enough, we always seem to be in a hurry to get the ball to the other end only to end up with the same dire consequenses over and over again, as for the bickering on the pitch the captain of the team should have sorted that out straight away, lee riddell showed poor leadership qualities today,as for our management team they seem to have gone off the boil very quickly and need to look very closely at themselves as they are as much to blame for these performances, in fact the six Ps come to mind as i write this (pi## poor planning ,pi## poor performance) and we seem to have this in spades .lets cut out the new players and get some serious work from the ones we have got, by what ever means are available, there are no quick fixes in this world the best results come from good old fashioned hard work.

[Reading Rebel]

Most of the players were p#ss poor today but in particular Meddie and Abbey Ensubugu were poor and were continually bickering for most of the game.

 

Our second top goal scorer was dropped for a new player who was no better than a Sunday park player and Dave Barratt was dropped for a player who has been sub and only played a few minutes football for the club.

 

The manager continually plays John Gray (who is a left sided forward) as a left back and plays Lee Rendell (who is a left back) as a left sided forward.

 

John Gray is wasted there and will never be a left back as long as I've got a hole in my ars#e.

 

P.S this is without any coaching badges!!!

Watched today in utter dismay, and the word pathetic comes to mind. Its easy to come on hear and slag people of and lay the blame on individuals, and I for one hate to do it but today was an uter shambles from the starting lineup(Abby who isnt good enough, and Marney bloke!). Mark Betts seems to have this idea of, if it doesnt work one week lets bring new faces which for Me is never gonna work. If You was a player and had a bad game whats the best thing for You? Simple to play again as soon as possible to rectify Your last performance, Theres no need for motivation from the Manager, its just a simple word play better if not You lose Your shirt. That should be all the motivation needed. I watched the bench today and You have three stooges barking orders of "seconds" and "pressure" for 90 minutes, not trying to settle the side and calm nerves. Haha that must of been day one on there "coaching levels" which is how to shout utter nonsense! Not sure If Im gonna go Bridgewater because I dont feel that much is gonna change. A very disgruntled rebel.
