Line-up now on at Match Details page and also on the twitter feed.

 

There will be updates on both as they happen and I will attempt (providing I can find sources) to update the scores of the other games as they happen on the match details page as well.

Although I hoped for better today....

Lost one of four

Scored first in every game so far

Despite going behind and down to ten men, we battled back for a point

 

I am still confident of a good season.

A fair result in the end and we did well to come back from 2-1 down with 10 men when we got the penalty for which Hastings lost their player. A battling performance without too much skill and over reliant on the long ball again! Both goals conceded very disappointing. - the free kick which Smelt should have done better with - wall should have been organised better as well. The second a free header from a corner. Kwesi very lively and deserved his two goals and caused them many problems. Bradbrook more effective today also and I lost count of the times he was fouled. Stubbs a silly boy for the "stamp"whether he meant it or not but in all honesty we did not seem to miss him when he was red carded. Still puzzled why Curtis is on the bench although he did come on after an hour for the largely ineffective Coleman. Corneille was my MoM - very solid at right back and liked to push forward at every opportunity. Ball more comfortable in central defence and Avery put in a good combative shift. Bodkin very quiet today. The young sub Burchall had a fantastic chance to win it for us at the end but with just the keeper to beat lost his composure and smacked it over the bar.

Fed up with reading all this rubbish about mid table finishes the team and budget we have got it has got to playoffs minimum.

 

God only knows why Curtis doesn't start maybe the management are happy with the mid table aspirations most of us have.

 

I know there are teams with bigger budgets but look at Tonbridge last year bet there's was less than ours. The more us fans think its acceptable to draw win lose draw so will the players.

 

 

Playoffs minimum

I think todays result is a bad one too.We should be rolling over the likes of Hastings home or away.And not only that but to have to come from behind to snatch a point too. Tut tut,not good enough for the players we have i.m.o.

I was & still am expecting a lot more than this from this squad.

Both red cards were wrong IMO. We conceded two poor goals. First was a needless free-kick from outside the box that maybe JS could have done better with. Their second, from a corner, was even worse. Their man ran unmarked about 10-15 yards out beyond the near post and guided a header to the back post. Neither JS or the man on the post stopped it going in. Not entirely sure it was actually meant as an attempt on goal.

 

When the teams had even numbers we were better and we should have won it at the end when Burchill had a great chance but ballooned it over. Hastings will struggle. Still, early days.

Decided to go at last minute and i think my wife and daughter had a better time shopping in Hastings than i did with my boy watching the footy . I can`t understand why a team full of flare and ambition can suddenley be a team that seems to tire after an hr and creatates so little . Don`t get me wrong i think this is the team thats going to take us places but after the past 2 games we`ve taken our foot off the pedel . Bodkin looked great for 40mins then he seemed to tire . Bradbrook was subbed because he just does not look fit , my guess is he`s carring some sort of injury and Coleman looked a little lost in a midfield that looked out of sorts again . On the good side of today we do have a team that will battle back instead of just being run down like teams in the past and that will gain us possibly another 10 points this season . If we can create the flare that was there pre season then that will give us another 25 points and put us impressivley into the playoffs so come on Gate up it and get the flare factor you had earlier pre season .

Not a Rant just dissapointed today ,we could have won this game .

Up the Gate .

That wall was a disgrace to put it politley. Standing at the other end of the ground you could see the gap between the last man and the person next to him. Sure enough the ball was drilled through that gap. Do not know who was responsible in organising the wall but someone else should do in future.

A point seems alright to me.

 

Where's all this flair stuff and top quality player stuff come from.

 

You can show flair when there is nothing at stake in a psf against a lower diviusion side.

When it comes to the real stuff-its a matter of grinding out the result-and it reads as though today we did exactly that.

 

Quality players-yep they are good ryman standard players-but nothing more than that.

Is there any player who a conference premier side would sign-frankly-no.

 

I'm happy with the squad-its a good lower midtable squad-but its nothing better,and so we will finish mid table.

If CK can get an extra 10% out of them- and gets them organised then we may be midtable.

 

If we get a quality midfield player-maybe top 8 at a push.

 

AS CK says-you build a team over 2/3 seasons.

We will not be anywhere near play-offs this season-and nothing wrong with that.

 

Next season-maybe.

 

So for me-today was just about ok to get a point

Cloke had a late fitness test on a hamstring which he failed, and looked gutted walking off the pitch. As for Dan's red, disgraceful decision, as both players collided and as Dan came down caught the Hastings player, but certainly no stamp involved. Even the Hastings director I was chatting too agreed it was an accidental challenge.

 

Agree was bad defending for their 2 goals.

Can we appeal this? Though not so easy at this level as there usually isn't any video evidence.
