Thamesmead v Town

[Enfield United]

After the good 45 min display at Harlow many supporters turned up last night to see more of the same.

Once again the Town support was basically "the total attendance".

3 points and a 2 goal win and remarkably, we move into 4th - shows how poor the league is.

 

Oh how we were let down again by a very poor, lackluster, inept performance devoid of passion by Town players.

 

Following 15 minutes of reasonable play Town seemed to go into their shells and the level of play deteriorated.

Before half time many supporters around me were asking for Stevens, Hope and Ewang to be subbed, but as usual nothing happened and it was 65 mins befor Hope and Ewang left the field. It was about 80 mins before Stevens was subbed.

It took 82 minutes for Town to have a shot saved by their keeper.

 

In my view one of the poorest performances along with the Stotfold game.

I am baffled how EU can state that we played well again.

 

As others have stated, there needs to be a shake up as players are just not performing.

Why sign Ailey ( was it 25 or 26 goals last season ) and bring him on 0-2 with about 10 mins to go,

 

Several players need to ask themselves if they actually want to play for the Club.

Last nights contribution by many would suggest they could not care less.

 

The team needs some Leadership - once again lacking last night.

 

It will be interesting to see if there is indeed any sort of shake up in the next couple of games.

 

As for Thamesmead, they are far from the best team in the top half of the league BUT their Manager and their Players all "wanted to win" and had passion about their play. It was only the Thamesmead "team" that you could hear across the pitch.

They fully deserved their win.

 

 

 

It was a good performances without the killer punch to see off our opponents. I agree with steph, we need to identify a couple of sharp edged diamonds who will hurt our oppo when we are on top.

Yet another disappointment and our season is as good as over IMO. Dont say I didnt tell you earlier.

 

Well thats that then...See you all next August as according to Papa Lazarou 'the season is as good as over' as we've lost a massive huge and gigantic two games so far..............

 

On PL's basis the following sides should just give up now - Waltham Forest, Thamesmead Town, Brentwood Town, Enfield Town, Redbridge, Tilbury, Cheshunt, Waltham Abbey, Soham Town Rangers, PBT, AFC Sudbury, Maldon and Tiptree, GWR, Ilford and Ware.

 

Have you had a look at the league table!! We are three points off of 5th & 4th place and only seven off of top spot...granted with Grays Ath very strong squad and start they look the team to beat...... as Steve said in his progger notes any team who finishes above Grays will be Champions.

 

I still think with the quality squad we've got we'll be up in the play-off mix come the business end of the season.

 

COME ON TOWN!!

 

 

Papa Lazarou - Do you have ever have anything positive to say about the games???

[NowhereMan]

the problem as i (and others) see it is the fromation used doesnt suit our players. And when things go pear shaped there needs to be a plan B or a shift in formation. Some of the players dont like the 4-3-3 system or is it 4-2-3-1? 4-4-2 worked for us well for a long time i think it's time to go back to it or at least try it out again. We arent a bad side judging by the chances we make but let's have a rethink about tactics sometimes.

Erm.....Reading the Gazette and SN comments, not sure he agrees with you on that one.

I certainly don't, but it's all about opinions.

 

Heres hoping for a turn around on Saturday.

YES - i did after Maldon and Redbridge.

So on that basis unless we win every match it's not good enough??

Papa Laz is just disappointed as we all are . Failure at Chestnuts today will put us in a rut , Chestnuts manager resigned last week so they are in some disarray themselves (nothing new there) It should be 3 easy points If not over to papa Laz for another expert analysis ,LOL FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION TODAY

[MbrunoB]

Cheshunt are not in the mess some people seem to think they are and not a lot has changed after the manager resigned.
