This result probably puts us bottom as Braintree were winning.

Still no win away from home, I think something needs to be done before we get cut off from the bottom.

 

It's a shame because the team has the potential to be doing a lot better.

Have they? Well they certainly didn't show it today. As some of us said on the journey back, we can't pick anything out of that game even remotely positive...

Which leads to your first comment that something has to be done. What I dunno and I don't think anyone does.

V poor. Started OK, Ansell had a decent early chance but they took the lead following a corner we failed to clear and from then on we fell apart. They doubled their lead with a well taken free kick and got the inevitable late goal, and although Redders (I think) hit the bar with a header following a corner overall we were shocking.

 

We had the new bloke from Hereford in centre mid and I thought he did OK alongside Dormer, but with most of the team struggling to work out that we were the ones in Yellow, I reckon he must be wondering what he's let himself in for! For some reason we get trying the long ball over the top, but it didn't work and they didn't have the wit to try an alternative tactic.

 

We are now adrift at the bottom with a 5 point gap to a play off place. The pressure is very much now on for the players to make up for this shambles on Tuesday.

oh dear

 

i thought the players from 1 to 11 failed to perform to the best of their abilities today, and having recently played three of the teams around us and accumulated one point we rightly find ourselves rock bottom of the league.

 

i just can't understand how we can be so bad (this was on a par with the ford game). its getting to the stage where all we are asking for is a 5th from bottom finish and at the moment even that looks like a distant dream.

 

the powers that be have to wake up and realise how grim the situation is, mind you having said that perhaps esl and 50 fans is what they want anyway

 

bullocks to the lot of em

I think you have to be a little more patient...on the evidence of the two games that you played against us it seems that their ability is there...not sure about the work rate though...

 

you obviously were 'up' for the two against us and Justin had the team fired up...but you all know as well as me that they have to do it all the time...not just in local derbys and cup ties...

 

methinks that JE will get it right...hes a good lad and will be learning very quickly about this league and his players...

 

keep the faith lads...its early days yet...

Unc, we have been saying this for most of this season so far. I don't think we have any problm with JE and as you say, he is a good lad but on Saturday, apart from the opening 10 minutes, no one showed up on the pitch. Our new signing played it simple, okay, that is to be expected as he is new, I suppose you can excuse Danny Hockton, who go no service or support at all, JJ, who quite probably wondered where his defence went for most of the game, apart for that.........

 

We have to do the simple things and we didn't on Saturday. No marking, passing was terrible and no fight. As Simon said earlier on this link, the boys have to make up for that performance big time on Tuesday night.

Unusual for me but I have been able to see this season the number of very good premiership quailty players not getting a game for the top 3-4 clubs

You may well need to go in and take loan players with recognised experience and attitude IE the fight back starts here

Getting signed up experienced players could be a problem with the open knowledge of the past couple of seasons where all sorts went on three quarters of the way through the season

[Andy Walsh]

What I mean is I thought we looked good in pre season and thought we'd do alright, but that is now a distant memory. If the team that finished last season can beat Canvey you've got to wonder why this team is not doing better than it is.
