cup of tea Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I really don't know what we had to do to score today. Had the majority of possession but just couldn't get the ball in the back of the net. Apart from a few minutes at the start of each half where GWR had some possession they clearly came to defend and catch us on the break - and it nearly worked, they had two really good chances and a couple of central free kicks which were wasted. Hope Elliot is okay, that was a nasty challenge on him by their No 6 that went unpunished. On another day, we could have got 3 or 4 goals, just a frustrating game today.

urchinman1961 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Enjoyable nil nil could have gone either way tbh think the visiting fans at the final whistle had won but there you go onwards to Friday and another hard game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hatted Urchin Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I bloody well called this as well. Can we play all our games away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wivenhoe Urchin Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Let them go back to Southend celebrating their amazing 0-0. It shows that they don't expect to be in the promotion hunt. I thought we had enough to win the game but sometimes it doesn't go your way. Lets hope we have more luck at Aveley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Let them go back to Southend celebrating their amazing 0-0. It shows that they don't expect to be in the promotion hunt. I thought we had enough to win the game but sometimes it doesn't go your way. Lets hope we have more luck at Aveley. well said, they call us fallen giants on twitter.... since when have they been a big team?? answers on a postage stamp please.... Any way point taken and we move on just wish our chances had gone in. Hopefully Elliot will be back on Friday vs Aveley after being stamped on. Why there was not a yellow card at least, beyond me!!

Eastside Urchin Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Why are we digging them out for getting a point?? Surely that's a compliment to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cup of tea Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 not bothered about gwr or their fans, just see it as a potential two points dropped. Was annoyed about the 'tackle' on Elliot but we move on to Friday . Looks like we're going to need to break down teams at home. Unbeaten at home and Cray are the only team who have really gone after us at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastside Urchin Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Home games can be hard as a point is a great result for many at ours so they will set up with defence their priority,away from home I would expect us to have more freedom to attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrchinYid Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Should've won today on the balance of play and GWR have started the season well. Plenty of positives and a point gained at the end of the day. Onwards and upwards starting away at Aveley on Friday #COYU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burdy Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Standing by the gate as GWR came off their manager said to some of their fans that there won't be many teams taking points away when they play at the bridge .they came to draw and got what they wanted we played well but the ball just would not go into the net onward and upwards nice to see us playing a passing game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrimper Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 this was Wakerings cup final !! and they came to defend and avoid defeat at all cost even stamping hmmm , their manager was quoted in the Evening Echo that Hornchurch are the leagues big spenders and at least 2 of the Hornchurch players are on a bigger weekly wage than the whole team get put together at wakering , he has made this type of remark a few times during the summer ie hornchurch are spending a obscene amount of money this season so building them up as the big underdogs can only think they players must each earn a fiver a week then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wivenhoe Urchin Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I wouldn't say it was their cup final. Before the game we were on the same points. Wouldn't know much about wages but I do see how clubs go up and down the leagues and we were also both in ryman north after our ESL triumph. Perhaps they refer to us being in the conference south, which any team can get to if promoted from ryman prem, and if we had maintained our status there I would say we have fallen but we have been a ryman prem club for many years.

shrimper Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 one other thing from yesterday was that abs had a great game we might not of scored but he gave the wakering defence a bit of a nightmare when running at them ..well done !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cup of tea Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 I think that Abs is someone that we've needed for a while now. Does add an extra dimension going forward. Well done to Jimmy for signing him. I would imagine that the only people who know what our playing budget actually is would be the Hornchurch board so anything else is just idle speculation. I would be surprised if we had a bigger budget than a few of the other clubs in this league. If we are to be labelled as big spenders however then so be it - as a club we'll have to live with that. What I do know is there's been an incredible amount of work behind the scenes to get Hornchurch out of the debt the current board inherited and that's where the priorities have been.
