cup of tea Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I think we looked a bit tired today. We're clearly carrying a few injuries and it unfortunately showed. Players were putting the effort in, no problems there. Good to see Chris Bourne back. Better in the second half and I was waiting for the equaliser. Was that last gasp goal really offside? Hopefully we'll be in better shape for Tuesday. Not making excuses for the performance but some of the gamesmanship from Grays was disappointing, especially their No 3. Unfortunately the ref wasn't strong enough to stand up to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 echo your thoughts! disappointing, throwing our chances of promotion and a possible play off spot away with the points dropped over the last couple of games. Heads up Hornchurch get your acts together and try harder, you know your better than this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr short Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 We have a small squad to choose from plus injuries but there are players that have been out of form for for a few weeks..The strikers to me are not firing and are not showing any signs of any link up play. Canvey on Tuesday and again today had strikers that was able to hold the ball up and bring others into play,ours at present seem to only want to pass at the last opportunity. For the opening 15 mins of the 2nd half we looked back in the game and then we decided to go to route one,which to me was the wrong tactic. We seem to a team of individuals now rather than what we were pre Xmas. The body language of certain players seem to remind me of a certain Mr Smith,who seemed to think he was bigger than that of the team. I would rather us get beat beat with 11 players all pulling in the right direction than people with bad attitudes going through the motions. Sorry for the rant but I feel certain players are not putting in a shift at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Upminster Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Another poor performance. Things not going quite right at the moment, we are looking very flat and nothing like the team we were earlier on in the season. Where is our midfield? Come on you Urchins……… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cup of tea Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 I think that we need to look at our attendances and our position in the league - we haven't got the resources of Maidstone etc. but we are still up there with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastside Urchin Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 No doubt we played poor first half and it's not the first time we have started slowly ,more often than not of late we have gone behind. But we tend to finish games stronger,think we just need to raise our game from the off and we will be ok. Got plenty of talent there and as stated for our gates we are punching above our weight IMO. We should of at least got something today,not sure about the penalty,not sure how he could if stopped the ball hitting his hand so hardly deliberate but at the time, you wouldn't of denied them a goal . On paper we should be beating these sides but many of late have bolstered their squads to beat the drop and are obviously playing to fit in to their new surrounds. Grays are a whole different prospect from the side we beat in September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paokman Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 First half at Bognor we were great and a week later we're bemoaning two home performances against teams we ought to have whipped easily. Roll on the next away game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
