Lewes 2 Billericay 1.

[Onthesidelines]

We played poorly today not helped by our growing injury list. Boot cried off in the warm up. Oates played as a central defender and Berry played right back. Neither Chatting nor Luke had the beating of the full backs. In the fifteenth minute Morgan was caught well outside the penalty area(why?) and was successfully lobbed by their striker who then scored again with a good strike in the first half to virtually kill the game for the travelling supporters. May had a good header tipped brilliantly around the post right on half time. The second half was more even without us really creating a goal threat.Chatting was replaced by Semakula,then Luke by Plummer and finally Knight by Thomas. With 9 minutes to go a centre was headed across goal by Swaine which May headed over the goalkeeper into the top of the net. We showed more urgency then but the better team won. I don't remember any shots on target apart from May's two headers. The best Billericay player was Jay May. I am not sure why Knight was signed and that goes for a player with a similar name to our manager. I assume Patten is also injured as is Francis. Hawes seemed to hobble off at the end. With our reducing resources I think Thomas should get a chance from the start. With Bury winning 5-0 I can't say I am much looking forward to Monday.

With Bury winning 5-0 I can't say I am much looking forward to Monday.

 

I agree whole heartedly

3 game's in and already we are drafting in players to help us out?

 

Stranger things have happened in football. fingers crossed for Monday

We were shocking in the first half and the score could have been anything.

 

I thought we looked better in the second half but the damage had long since been done.

 

I agree that Jay May was MoTM for us today and had a really good game. We do have some good players in our squad but at the moment we are well short in lots of areas.

 

Hopefully we can get a 90 minute performance on Monday - I suspect we'll need it.
