where,s the fight and passion gone!

[red n white]

only 2 players give it 110 percent today darius and sacha but if no one else fights never going to win need to step it up.

[Albie78]

Agree we lack everything at the moment, lets get back to playing the ball on the deck.

[red n white]

fed up with watching the fleet playing long ball game when the target man i.e gash only win 1 out of 15 balls look much better when we play football on the deck,gash needs to win more and moore to play off him so if he does win a header moore can latch on to it to say i,m pi##ed off is a joke!!!!!!!!!!

[Albie78]

Give them some credit, they do work well off each other it's just they need to regain that confidence in front of goal. Also stacey is a man that is playing with absolutely no confidence at the moment.

[red n white]

sorry you must have been watching a different game gash was pants

[Albie78]

Agree not so much today because everyone except darius had a reasonable game. But im talking about the season so far between luke and gash.

Agree that Darius was head and shoulders the best Fleet player on the field.

But Sacha? Yes he showed passion, but it was mostly misplaced and misjudged. He came very close to getting sent off a couple of times. His distribution was woeful, that was just about the worst I have seen him play.

And we need more than passion out there, we were lacking quality and the confidence has gone. None of the players seem to want the ball.

As for Gash; agreed he was not very good, but he was one of 10 players to underperform today and the way we are playing is doing him no favours. He is expected to win headers against bigger and stronger defenders and today he was trying to get onto the end of any knock ons that he may get. There was one incident where he controlled a ball on the half way line, rolled it back to a support player (can't remember who) and then was expected to chase down the inevitable long ball some 40 yards further forward. He damn near got there too.

Yes he did not play well, but he was by no means our poorest performer today.

The midfield was our strength last season, it is currently a shadow of that unit

[ahsatan]

Our tactics are totally wrong and have been for most of the season, the big hoof upfield simply does not suit the players we have.

[Bill Kent]

Liam appears to have lost interest lately. From where I was his body language says it all. As i've said before, I can see him walking before not very long. Again, what's up in the dressing room, anyone know?

 

Don't forget the PASE lads are playing Wednesday 7-30, Cup Match should be a good game to watch and only

[MICKY FLEET]

I thought the player we've got on loan from Millwall (Can't remeber his name) played okay, as a first match with the team.

Darius did play very good today!

[hopeful]

Its not about fight and passion,its about the crap style of football we play.We also need a leader on the field,someone in the mcphee mould.

[eufc4life]

Another player i thought done well was Lance, without him today to score could of been embarrasing

[Hempstead Gaz]

Makes you wonder how much longer this can continue without questions being asked of Liam.

The team are playing crap.

No confidence.

Route 1 all the time.

Conceding goals.

Not creating or scoring many.

Bypassing the midfield.

The team are either not following Liam's instructions, or worse

they are following them.

Drastic prblems need drastic solutions.

My personal feeling is the team must be changed before Liam's job is on the line.

I was fortunate not to waste

[Gordon T]

Gash has bagged 7 goals so far, but the way we are supplying him, he wont get anymore. The attack would look a lot worse if he wasn't on the pitch...

I think you have hit the nail on the head, BK. To misquote the Prince of Denmark, "Something's rotten down at Stonebridge Road." Smithy having less chance of starting than Gordon Brown copping off with Scarlett Johansson - what is all that about? And what's this with good players suddenly turning mediocre? People behind me applauded the removal of Jamie Hand as totally ineffective when a month ago he was walking on water. Stacy Long looks totally disheartened & that's the 1st game I can remember that Sacha hasn't applauded the crowd at the end. Mind you, they were booing us off & who can blame them?

Liam is a great motivator & can coach teams into beating superior opposition, but that doesn't exonerate him from all responsibility when things go belly up. Like some of you, no doubt, my job involves motivating people & if they go cold when they should be up for it, I can look for the rotten apple, I can give a rollocking to those who are undermining others' confidence, but I also know I have to look at what I am doing wrong too, because, in such circumstances I know I will be.

Woking must really fancy their chances of a nice 1st round FA Cup draw.

[Richard C]

F#### knows what to say when pissed - so you know what..... i wont...

 

I have supported G&N since the ryman winning days and before - im fed up of this now!! its cack!! i preferred Hatch and Duku trying their all compared to long and sacha!... f~~~ this!!

[1kieron1fleet]

their confedence must be very down at the moment and with poeple saying from the stands things like 'your rubbish' or 'is there any point of you playing'the its going to stay down so when the next home game comes around lets make the atmosphere electric and have most of the crowd signing and cheering on the boys. this is just a bad spell at the moment and it will change, we have a break from the league next saturday so that will do the boys good but it will also for be good for the boys to turn around at woking and see loads of fleet fans so come on poeple lets get loads down to woking and cheer on the fleet give them confedence back ready for the league

 

thanks,

kieron

[PatMan]

Performances have been, how should this be put, a little way short of whats expected after last season... Be nice to focus on some of the positives tho...

 

Of the last 4 defeats - 3 of them have been to sides in the top 7 (well, they are now) so these were never going to be walk-over matches.

 

Charles has really shown how good he is at this level.

 

Attendances have been up.

 

Erm, thats about it...

 

 

[Slartibartfast]

The other good thing is you get to find out who the real fans are.

 

Its very easy to support a winning team but when they lose a few and really need the support it gets a bit tougher.

 

So who is up for a big chorus of 'I am Ebbsfleet till they let a goal in' against Barrow?

[Maxman]

In my modest oppinion I think we have only used the "Gash" route in the last two games I have seen.Every dead ball,Lances kicks,through ball,Iwould love to say crosses but the lack of whith in our game sums up the situation.It appears to me that the Shakes dont get behind the defence that often at least George P bless him would always give thier defence a pace check at every oppertunity.The times that Stacey was wide and calling for the ball only to see it hit at MG you could see the frustration on his face,this may be a reason to his lack of form?.Liam asked for the support which he has got now lets hope he can deliver the football.
