@Biggleswade1874: The late Slough goal makes the HT score #Waders 2-1 Slough #GreenArmy

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

@ChertseyTownFc: Halftime; chertsey town 0 beaconsfield 1

[Cookham Rebel]

Hopefully that late first half goal will put confidence into the team!

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

@sloughtown: Golden chance for Slough as ball finds it's way to Burnell who shoots inches past the post.

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

@Biggleswade1874: Slough take a shot and it is literally 2 inch wide, lucky for #Waders unlucky for them, #GreenArmy

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

@sloughtown: Looping effort by Biggleswade goes just over the bar.

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

Pretty frantic

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

@sloughtown: RED CARD: Anthony second yellow card for pulling back a striker.

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

The final nail/whistle can only be a couple away....

@sloughtown: Full-Time: Biggleswade 2-1 Slough

[Cookham Rebel]

Full time and another defeat...

 

Now things have to change!!!

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

So rugby up.

Burnham

Godalming

Biggleswade

Royston

 

[Sir Rebel1965]

If Sycob win they leapfrog Royston, and Daventry can also pull away if they win - we are now coming adrift of the playoff places.

 

Now not picked up a point in the last 4 games.

7th or 8th this season. Would need to win 6 out of 7 for playoffs. Considering our recent run of form there's no chance.

[Sir Rebel1965]

With only 7 games left and a max of 21 points, Burnham and Rugby are now out of reach on 87 points.

Dominated the second half and were denied by tough Biggleswade defending and a few saves by their keeper.

The red card was fair, two yellow card fouls definitely.

Once again a story of gifting goals when we had played reasonably well without getting the luck needed in these situations.

I disagree about the inevitable call to sack the manager that will follow this game. This is not all the fault of Steve Bateman, he cannot be the one to take all the responsibility for this, several of the players need to look at themselves too. As I said earlier, the words from the bench and dressing room have been right, keeping there ball down and playing it rather than hoofing it, but the players need to listen too.

The buck stops with the Manager, end of story.... Always has always will!

[Sir Rebel1965]

Araas - maybe Bateman has lost the respect from the dressing room if they are not carrying out his directions?

Who knows Clive, we will never know that for sure.

At half time today Bateman came out long before the team. To me that says he had home in there ends told them that they're not good enough and not following his instructions and left them to simmer on it. It produced a much better second half.
