Billericay 1-2 East Thurrock

[Simon BTFC]

Difficult one to call this.... Suffice to say that we stuck out an "experimental side" including a few from the ressies and Paul Cobb scored 2 for them - he ALWAYS bloomin scores against us!

 

Team

JJ

Birkett Thomas Penn(Ajeddin)

S.Jones Henty(Aziz) Carr Taylor

Hunter

Ansell Tolan

 

Got off to a terrible start as Cobb scored after 8 minutes, but we kept plugging away and created some decent chances. Second half was tedious to say the least. Cobb scored his second after the ubiquitous defensive [****!!****] ups then Ansell pulled one back.

 

Certainly none of the ressies let themselves down, all of em kept plugging away and Tolan showed some decent touches. Not sure about the formation although it did allow Hunter a bit more time and space and he got involved quite well.

Missing a few players for various reasons (Hockton, Jones, Dormer, Reddington, Marlon! & Black), so a tough one to call. Thought we played well in the first half and could have gone in 2 or 3-1 up at the break. Thurrock had a single shot on goal and needless to say scored. Not much happening in the second half and as the game wore on some of the ressies were blowing out thier arses and it came as no suprise when Thurrock increased thier lead. Richard Thomas for me was head and shoulders above anybody else on the pitch. Pitiful attendance and I dare say this result gives our miserable stay away supporters something to laugh at (go on have a good chuckle). Going out of the league cup at this stage is the least of our problems considering our league position.

Paul Cobb ! Dagenham Reject !

I know there were injuries, but it doesn't mean we had to field such a weak team. The league may be more important, but a result against an average division 1 side would have given the team confidence. Considering our financial state progression in the competition would have been useful. A positive result may have helped to bring some supporters back. The result is hardly going to give the team confidence for Saturday in a must win game.

It wasn't just injuries...

Michael Black - Cup-tied

Dave Reddington - Suspended (1 match, 5 bookings I believe)

Hockton, Dormer, Polston, Andy Jones, Bauckham all nursing injuries of varying degrees.

Marlon Patterson - gone to Oz.

 

That's 8 players not available to us. With a small squad we had to play some of the ressies.

You must be blind...We could and should of had double figures against your shower of [***!!***] at the back... Suppose we were lucky tour keeper didn't start throwing stones at us behind the goal...

What a charmer you are Webbyetu! Still good luck in the next round, you've probably got a chance of winning it since it's normally won by a div 1 team....Reckon we'll be seeing you next season....

[GazzaBTFC]

Webbyetu, U are a total prat making a comment like that!!! Go back to your rock from which you crawled from.

I don't understand your problem... You ARE going to be relegated this season, so you may as well concentrate on regaining your place in the Premier league next season... I t is a shame really and although i am not fully aware of the facts i understand it is the people behind the scenes that have got you into this mess... I have followed non-league football for a few years now and stability in any club is of paramount importance... I heard that Justin and Neil Ruddock wanted to buy Billericay but were turned down by the chairman... Is there any truth in this and were does that leave your club if the reports are true... I am not in favour of seeing clubs in trouble, but surely you have got to do something before you end up in freefall.... I have also heard rumours that certain players have had there wages cut, and others haven't been paid for several weeks... Again if this is the case how can you expect to stand a chance of staying in your division... I don't mean to offend anyone but you can't ignore this problem, otherwise you will have to get used to being a nothing club,in the Ryman league forever... That must be the last thing you want???

"I don't understand your problem"

I think some took exception to your unprovoked, bile-filled, vicious attack on the events of Tuesday night. We all have opinions, I gave a brief account of what I witnessed. You have your views as well, thats fine, but just because the views expressed here didn't marry up with yours doesn't mean you can launch such a scornful attack, you [***!!***] [***!!***] [***!!***] [***!!***] [***!!***] [***!!***] muppet!

 

"You ARE going to be relegated this season"

Have to admit it doesn't look to good at the moment. Having been to all games this season I can tell you that it is a fine line from being in the bottom 4 and out of the bottom 4. As you're so sure in predicting things, predict which Disney character I'm thinking of, that best describes your club?

 

"I heard that Justin and Neil Ruddock wanted to buy Billericay"

That's a new one on me. For someone who says he's been around the non-league scene for a few years, then surely you should know better than to post messages on other clubs forums without backing it up with the bare-faced hard facts. Anyway my mate, (who works at a petrol station in Corringham) says East Thurrock was taken over by a gangster.

 

"I have also heard rumours that certain players have had there wages cut"

Some players took a voluntary pay-cut.

 

"otherwise you will have to get used to being a nothing club,in the Ryman league forever"

You'd know all about that!

I think you've just slightly missed the point here... I wasn't having a dig, i was asking you for some opinions on the state of your club... But all you want to do is take the piss!!! Thats ok... We'll just laugh at you as we swap leagues then... [***!!***] ungrateful [***!!***]... No wonder your a [***!!***] club!!!
