Billericay Town 1-1 Cray Wanderers FT

Pondinio & Cousins

Nice to see Chatting back in the team. I said he should be played week in week out.

With him Charge and BB we can only ever create chances.

We were very very very luck to get away with grabbing a point (in my opinion of course)

I rekon I must be ill. I happily handed over nine notes to see that load of dross today, & I'll probablz do the same thing next Tuesday. Scraping survival in this league may keep the die-hards passing through the gate, but the entertainment value is zero in terms of pulling extra punters in.

 

A lot of coasting going on today. Haswell in particular didn't look interested. Good to see H having some success. He set an example that some of the senior players could learn from.

I just wish that others would see this point of view more clearly. Why have the H factor sitting on the bench?

In my opinion Harrison Chatting is probably the best young prospect this club has, the first time i saw him play a senior game he had the guts to step up and take a penalty which he missed but none the less the boy has got it, speed, confidence, finishing - what more can you ask for from a 18/19 year old.

 

Having Harrison loaned out and then left on the bench is a poor show, he should be starting for us week in week out. What more does the boy have to do to get a start?

 

The money the club must be paying out to "has been players" that dont really care for Billericay when you have a young lad like Harrison, beats me!

 

When i say "has been players" im talking about the likes of, Simon Thomas who "has been" at bigger clubs - Micky Haswell who "has been" at bigger clubs.

 

I'm glad to see the keeper come in, he looks good. We should be building the club around certain players that want to fight for the club and not players that just want to use our club as a stepping stone! Bring on Harrison for starters...what have we got to lose!!!?

[Simon BTFC]

I don't understand why we played Haswell at left midfield... He's a defender so why play him when we have 3 left wingers in the squad? In a game which we should have been making every attempt to win it was negative tactics. Why also is Green always asked to play on the right? His confidence looks ruined by being played out of position and then being criticised by all and sundry for not being as good there. He's the best left winger at the club and should be allowed to play there.

 

The rest of the game just served to emphasis how much we've missed Billy, and how much we continue to miss Hall in midfield. It's no exaggeration to suggest that our final position in the table will be determined by how much game time we get from the two of them. Of the new boys, England did OK but looked a little bit off the pace. Jones did well enough in goal, don't think he could have done much about the goal. Aisien again impressed me in defence. Haswell was playing out of position, and it showed.

[Sticks]

Imo we were fortunate to get a point. Up until the double substitution we looked poor and created very little.

 

It improved with Chatting and Charge adding some urgency and we looked better going forward.

 

It seems to me that these lacklustre displays are frequent when the oppo are in a similar position to us, ie fighting against relegation. Whether they are up for it more I'm not sure. Whatever it is we cannot afford to carry passengers, especially given the current situation and big games coming up and yesterday we had one or two.

[GazzaBTFC]

From my point a view, I certainly don't disagree that we were poor for most of the game but credit to the manager and those players that finished the game. Harrison was given authority to do what he does best as well as take the free kicks and with the injection of both subs into the game, I thought the whole team responded and even though the draw doesn't reflect the whole game, it certainly was a reflection of the last 15 to 10 minutes...

 

...perhaps the time is to start trusting in our youth to take the club forward. I certainly don't want to see all the experience go...we need our expreienced players like Cuz, Wild and Pond (although Rus is still a young man) but for those who remember Justin's last full season when we came second in the league will know that success was done on the back of an experienced spine with a good compliment of young and hungry players around them.

A very poor game which I thought we were lucky to get a point from. What happened to the team that played the previous 3 games? Luckily, all games apart from Carshalton went our way so we was let off, but we need to play better then yesterday on Tuesday!!

 

As mentioned, I am not sure why Haswell started? During the first half you could see we needed a pacey winger down that side, he is a left back, not left mid. Also as mentioned above, why do we play our best left winger on the right? Greeny should be playing on the left, that is where he is more confident.

Sorry Gazza, have to disagree with credit to the management. The changes were obvious and should have been made before we conceded. Thats not hindsight, that was the opinion of everyone behind the goal at the start of the second half. Thomas has been given enough chances now and the Dartford game aside, has shown no real desire to play well for this club. Great to see the likes of Harrison and Billy wanting it!

[Ryan.c]

Taking the positives, we've been [****!!****] for 90 minutes but came out with a big point. That was our first goal conceded for 3 games and it's only one defeat in the last 7. We're certainly playing better away at the moment but with Sutton coming up at New Lodge on Tuesday, we've a chance to rectify that.

 

I'd like to see Hall start (if fit) with England in centre mid with Pondy to the right and Wareham on the left. Charge and Bricknell up front. We need battlers not bottlers. We also need supporters to keep turning up, and whilst some may say why should we, well it's YOUR club and that elusive quality goalscoring centre-forward won't be at this club on attendances of less than 400.

[Blue Dawg]

Ye Gods these home games are a trial to stand through. Please can we have better fare next season. Great to see Billy back and H. I am sure that we will do our usual and raise our game against Sutton so am confident that Tuesday will be more entertaining, then its off to Carshalton for a 6 pointer! Looks like its up to Billy again to keep scoring our goals. At least we know he is up for it.

I don't object to paying £9 to watch this Billericay side - I consider it a charitable donation.

 

I keep having these horrible memory malfunctions in believing that I saw this side put 4 past Canvey last Boxing Day - I am mistaken, surely ? !!!!!!
