Enfield Town v Burgess Hill

[Steph1]

I could not understand the minute of injury time. As stated above Scots sending off warranted more than an additional minute. I have to say the substitutions were carried out quickly and one was a two on - two off affair. Scott has to understand that refs do not, generally change their mind, to argue the toss with the ref is foolish in the extreme. A game can continue with 2 or even 3 players sent off but cannot continue without a ref.

Thought Samir looked lively on the left-wing when he came on..Think he needs to play more to get fully match fit,then i would try playing him and Tyler as proper wingers.That would also allow Micky and Ricky to overlap more.

I agree that, at times, the team lacks width and there are few occasions when we get to the byeline putting in crosses going away from the goalkeeper.

How do we explain or justify this embarrassing shock home defeat, against a side struggling for survival, with only one away win to their credit before Saturday? With difficulty is probably the right answer.

 

The official match report doesn't make comfortable reading. BH turned up, gave a decent account of themselves, completed the double over us, and we did our very best to make them feel welcome, with a below-par performance which cost us three precious points.

 

Why the inconsistency, you'd think we'd have learnt our lesson by now. If we are serious about the play-offs, we need nothing less than a win at Imber Court tomorrow evening to get back on track. We drew there last season 2-2.

I cannot comment on the game as I was not there. However, what I cannot understand is the inconsistency with the team performances. Just what is said when a poor first half performance is put in?

The 'one minute' announcement was made after two additional minutes had already been played, and the ref ended up playing five. Though I couldn't understand the announcement either, I don't think we were sold short

Andy- inconsistency?? It's 2 defeats in 17 league games. We have 16 games left, only 2 defeats there would do nicely

We appear to be asking why the inconsistency. Perhaps the answer lies in the fact

that to much reliance is made on the midfield to score the goals to make up the

lack of them from some of our forwards. As they former cannot be expected to do both, Billy being an exception, without failing in other duties.

 

In the next two weeks Brad, unless we get back to winning ways, NOT DRAWS, then

he will have to make some difficult decisions as to whether he reorganises the

front line. The Official ETFC said we had signed our young goal machine, Lewis,

perhaps it is now time to blood him or at least put him on the bench.

Alternatively, I would try Mickey Purcell up front. With his pace and enthusiasm

he could be just what we want. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

 

I just feel that the current forward set up is not working and something new must be

tried if we are to make the play-off.

First half was below average, Shulton was a disgrace, as was one minutes added time at the end. When it all goes wrong, it all goes wrong! Met. Police and 'rickay are vital now.

[Father Jack]

We played five minutes of added time! !

Inconsistency from one half to another or one game to another. Yes, we have won 15 out of 17, but there have been inconsistencies.
