ETFC v W&F

[Chase Side Towner]

Is the match on tonight? More rain this morning, wondering if there's a pitch inspection?

[Tiger]

The sun is out and there is a nice breeze so the surface should start to dry out.

[scoopydoo]

Just been advised there is a pitch inspection  arranged for 1pm. Will keep you updated on the outcome.

[scoopydoo]

Pitch passed inspection.  Game tonight is on barring a late down pour. And with fine weather forecast, there should not be a problem.

Didn't go tonight and glad.

[big guy]

where do we go from here players were very poor captain subbed and didnt stay and watch the poor display,players couldnt pass to save there lives, ONE SHOT IN 90 MINS bloody dreadfull not surprised we didnt have man of the match . We want answers and want them now i remember steve saying at the meeting we have 2 players for every shirt so if a player has a bad game they are replaced !!!!!! keep up with your words steve its been 16 games and they are the same players we dont ant to go back down

[Liam etfc]

Absolutely woeful just he from the game terrible reaction by Kirkby he sat on the bench for a minute then headed down the tunnel

[the viewer]

Utter rubbish.

I thought the last few games were bad but tonight was the pits.

It was embarrasing. It was laughable if not situation wasnt so serious.

Most of the players dont want to play for steve, you could see that from the first minute.

Please Steve do the honorable thing and resign. Walk away.

BOARD DO THE BUISNESS.

 

Steve u are an embarrasment.

Players you are not fit to wear an Enfield shirt after todays performance.

[StoneCold]

I have to say that was the worst performance since our formation! The only pass we could make was back to Noel, I think he had the ball at his feet more than Moses whatshisname! Everytime we had possession we either gave it away cheaply or passed it back to Noel. Where is the 'turn and be on the front foot' play? 

 

Wingate pressed every ball, we had over a week off and did not press the ball once. 

 

I didn't agree with the line up, Kirbs & Anton in the middle! Kirbs just watched the game pass him by, not one challenge & then sulks down the tunnel when he is subbed - is that what the club captain should be doing??

 

The only player tonight who came away with an ounce of credit was Joe Stephens. Liam closed the keeper down in the 85th minute but that is what was needed from EVERY player from the 1st minute!

 

We have Lee Allen who is like a little terrier in midfield closing down & putting himself about and he was on the bench. Liam played the final 20 minutes in centre midfield position when we need goals!

 

I've said this before and I'll say it again, Steve's body language on the touchline is below awful, All second half he had his arms folded leaning up against the side of the dugout. Where is the encouragement, where is the man management, where is the belief from him? Look to his left and you see the Wingate manager shouting and encouraging all the time - this is what the manager does - not bury his head and think of what excuse he can come out with next!

 

I have tried to stay positive & have belief that Steve is the right man for the job but after tonight hos body language for me says it all I'm afraid and if that's his attitude then no wonder the players are playing like a Sunday morning division 4 side!

Awful performance. Worst since I started following Enfield, I'd say.

It was an awful performance by our team against at best a very average Wingate team. Looks like the high spirit of the team has disappeared.

 

We had no leaders on the pitch today and the desire of everyone other than Joe Stephes and Tyler Campbell (when he came on for a lethargic Corey) was not acceptable.

 

10 days til our next game home v Dulwich. We will have to have a vastly better performance in that game

[andyetfc]

Oh dear!

No passion.

No leadership.

No desire.

No sign of any instructions as to how the team could get out of the mess it was in.

No ideas.

No man of the match.

 

I just cannot see our club turning this around with performances similar to the one we endured tonight. We made Wingate and Finchley look very good. They were first to everything.

 

I just hope some people don't say the supporters need to get behind the team for them to play better. Supporters were there but many left before the end as the performance was so bad.

 

Club captain goes off and walks down the tunnel! Was he injured? Could he not have stayed and tried to encourage his team mates from the side?

 

Mind sets need to change.
