Last 15 minutes all us according to Dutch Mike. Goal was a howler. The keeper dropped a corner at Ball's feet.

Couldn't hold out - now 1-1 (latest)

 

 

We just don't seem to be able to capitalise when we take the lead and hoild it. It looks like another two points lost.

2-1 down

Apparently we were robbed

No Steve. Even worse. Now 2-1 down. Damn! damn! damn!

Apparently we were robbed

You get what you deserve after 90 minutes i.m.o. Why can we not push on instead of sitting back & taking all that pressure.Surely Hornchurch couldn't have had just the two break-aways.

Very disappointing. We are anything but consistent this season!

 

 

[Coffin Ender]

Defeat was harsh, as I would say we edged it over the first hour. But we didn't take our chances and gave away a poor equaliser. They had the greater momentum after that and got the winner. They are very direct and the centre halves, overall, dealt well with the bombardment.

[Dutch_Mike]

Same old story, had enough chances to win 2 or 3 games, and we should have been out of sight before they equalised. First half hour or so, a lot of pressure from the home team, without really creating that many chances. Turner pulled off one superb save. But once we scored (complete howler from the keeper), we were on top for the end of the first half, with Bradbrook (twice) and Stubbs going close.

 

But despite what the scoreline may suggest, we certainly didn't sit back at the start of the second half. In fact, we had further chances to increase our lead and you feel that if one of those had been put away, we would surely have sealed the win. But, as CE says, once they equalised, you could see the winner coming.

 

Defence generally looked solid, thought Curtis was probably our best player - he won every header. Both our strikers are in desperate need of a goal to really kickstart their seasons. But it's becoming increasingly clear that we have a very thin squad. For two Tuesdays in a row, the opposition have been able to bring on fresh legs and add some much needed impetus. Sadly, we are seriously lacking in depth, and don't have such options available.

 

Still, quite pleased with the performance; ultimately, although it's starting to sound like a broken record, if we had taken our chances, we would certainly be praising a superb result.

 

On a side note, a teabar that doesn't serve chips!? What has the world come to?

I believe just one substitution has been made in the last five matches. Also, was Aaron Lacey wearing a bandana or had he cut his head?

Thank God it wasn't a banana if past dressing room history had anything to do with it.
