Lost again 3-1.

Comfortable home win for Margate by all accounts. Let the shambles continue!

[Simon BTFC]

We drop one place by my reckoning. Now 4 points above the bottom 4. If Harlow are docked their points we'll be 5 points clear. Dover are champions. Only Ramsgate have picked up fewer away points than us. We have 1 point from the last 15.

 

We now have 72 hours to sign some players to save the season.

To be fair, we were down to the bare-bones today. Injuries have hit us very badly over the past 1-2 weeks. A lot of first team players were out, we ended up with Etchells, Luca, Chatting on the pitch. Jack West also started.

 

Our bench was youngsters. We were well beaten though, nothing more then what was expected I suppose. We have never won there. Also we gifted all of their goals, 2 goals were OG's and a penalty.

 

3 points from the bottom 4, Harlow taking the last relegation spot, with a better goal difference then us.

[Brightside Bloke]

Well done again Paul Shaves not just for the goal but for making so many efforts today.

 

I hope a lesson has been learnt with Billy B. The poor guy struggled on to the pitch and yet again had to be taken off early on. If he is injured why play him? We were one sub less by playing Billy. (I hope you get better soon)

 

Fair play to the youngsters today they are right up for it when they eventually come on.

 

Oh and a mention for the Inane Ref what a W@/\/Ker

Not true, the first goal was an own goal, the second was a header scored by Curtis Robinson.

I try not to comment on another team on there forum but, today I have just 1 question for you all.

 

'What has happened to the lovelly football you used to play. You used to be a joy to watch.'

 

Sorry

 

[Bluetone]

We've played Ramsgate, Harlow, Swifts and Margate in the past few weeks and to be brutally honest we've been outplayed by all of them which is really worrying at thi spoint in the season. I just cannot see where our next win is coming from?

 

From yesterday, thought Shave again carried the rest of the team at times, which says it all really. Thought Etchells showed promise on the right. Was the young number 14 injured? Didn't seem to be and taking him off after 10 mins of coming on is hardly going to give the kid a boost.

 

Now Grant and Lee have 2 days to get some players in or we'll be playing Ryman 1 football next season.

[Adam.S]

We didn't get outplayed by Ramsgate, we were the better side but didnt take our chances, we outplayed Harlow up untill they scored, we outplayed Heybridge up untill we scored and we outplayed Margate up untill we scored.

 

The number 14 apparently had been injured for a while previous to the game, and/or he injured himself running onto the pitch apparently.

 

It's alright saying to get some players in, but we have a budget remember that has to be stuck to. At the moment it is hard to look for players in our division because teams in the top half of the table are aiming for playoff's and teams in the other half are fighting to stay out of relegation, it is that tight, so teams need all the players they have.

 

And people have to remember that yesterday we had a very young/light-weight squad out, we can't fault the reserve/under 18's players.

[Pooch]

I though Dean Etchells had a great game yesterday. He worked hard for the full 90minutes and seemed a lot more confident than his first appearance away at Harlow.

 

Giving the youngsters this experience is great for them to be better, more confident players for us next season. Just need to make sure we stay in this league. Frankis & Etchells could be key to that as they both came close to scoring yesterday.

[Pooch]

Thanks to Ryan for stepping in and writing a match report on yesterday's game. This is now up on the website.

Adam are u Gazza in disguise ??

[Bluetone]

Maybe outplayed is the wrong word. Out-thought, out-battled is probably more accurate. But I would say we were out-classed yesterday. I know weve got injuries, but that excuse is wearing thin as looking at Margate and Harlow, they both have extremely young looking teams, in fact I think the lad that got two against us for Harlow was only 16.

 

I know my comments might seem harsh, but I'm fed up of wasting my Saturday afternnons and money to watch this dross and looking at the poor turn out yesterday, alot of fans are thinking the same.

No, but the team were youngsters, why moan at them? They tried, but theres a difference between under 18's and first team football.

You support your team, you moan about your team, but why keep moaning and moaning? There is no point in it really, and would probably become pathetic after a while. If you want to moan about how the youngsters played, then it's down to you, but I am not going to moan at them for trying.

[bill-ER-ricky]

I'm actually fed up reading comments from people like you on this forum, YES you have the right to your opinion but your not a real fan! some of the lads that played yesterday are stepping up from the u18's they have played more games this month than most, they play U18's - capital league and now first team, they need to settle in to the squad and get a feel for it and people like you throwing comments about like out-though - out-battled - out-classed - how do you think they will feel reading that sort of rubbish!! get a life!!

[brucie]

Id like to see more support for the youngsters, there doing a job for the club! do they get paid? i guess not with the budget problems, so lets give them a chance
