Kings Langley H. 30th Jan

[Irishadrian]

Can't see anything but another 3 points for the Rebels from this one KL are having a poor season and are another team who perform poorly away from home Just 2 away league wins all season and against the 2 tailed off teams Dunstable and Gosport Let's hope we start putting all chances away It becomes increasingly likely that GD will matter at the seasons end IMO.

Don’t wind up RR!

It's a good opportunity to close some gaps too, Kettering not playing, Hereford & Kings Lynn plus Royston & Weymouth playing each other.

Just for you Glennie, on closer inspection  

 

Like a few clubs who have tried to strengthen after a poor first half to the season Kings Langley have recruited some ex Wealdstone players and as such their results of late have picked up with a very good home win against Stratford and two very credible draws away to Kettering and Redditch.

 

If we are anywhere near our best we should take the points but I still expect a very tough game against a side that will be scrapping for every point.

What time do the turnstiles open tonight?

[GlenSTFC]

Why are you outside them now waiting? ?

[A Rebel and a Saint]

For midweek games it's usually around half 6. Does depend on the volunteers being in place though.

[C'est la vie]

Attendance and result says it all!

[Stan]

Always look on the bright side off life !

We did not lose .

Hereford have now lost the same number of games as us and finally lost an away game .

All still to play for.

[GlenSTFC]

It was a poor game and 2 points dropped as first half I thought they were there for the taking. We didn’t create as many chances tonight but again missed a few that we had. Very frustrating night especially with Hereford losing we didn’t take full advantage.

[PaxtonLee]

Didn't feel we got the combinations going or ever really built up enough head of steam, thought Kings Langley played some decent stuff and kept it on the deck well. Not the worst point overall. Ironically, probably could have done with Brad Wadkins as an option to mix it up a bit! Lench my motm just ahead of Inns. A couple of fine saves from Jack too.

[Rebellier]

I thought Innsy was immense tonight, but he must have some massive headaches after each game he plays.

 

One save in particular from Jack was warmly applauded by their manager on the touchline, seemed a nice fellow.

 

We were frustrated by their well organised defence, it happens.

 

If Tivvy game is on I think we'll win.

[Reading Rebel]

Definitely a bad night at the office but the players are not robots and these type of performances happen to all teams at all levels.

 

There were some positives to take from tonight. 

 

We didn't play well but we didn't lose and but for a blinding save from Jack Turner we could have come away from the game having dropped all three points.

 

We gained a point on Hereford after their disastrous second half collapse at Kings Lynn.

 

We are still very much in the promotion race so we need to cut the players some slack and give them our full support.

 

Innsy, Lenchy and Jack Turner our best players on the night.

 

COYR!!!  

[redwine rebel]

Nice one Eddie spot on xx

[Martin]

Bang on RR.

 

Credit to Kings Langley they were well organised and came to do a job. They could play a bit too. One spell in the first half they strung 30 passes together before Jack cut out a near post cross.

 

Nice to see a bit of Harrison Gilkes too. Has lots of pace and could be an exciting option in the second half of the season

[Irishadrian]

Disappointed tonight really expected 3 points Although we are unbeaten in 9 that includes 4 league draws that has made our task a little bit harder However I don't think some realise how strong our position still is I always think more reality is revealed by tho total number of points teams have lost all season long It's:

Hereford 19

Slough. 21

Kettering26

KL. 27

Weymouth 33

Royston. 35

Chesham. 40

Tiverton 40

All season we've lost just 2 more than most people's choice Hereford

Still well on for 1st/2nd.

[David Carpenter]

agree with RR. Possibly a bit flat after Saturday. COYR!

[3spirit]

I wasn't impressed with Kings Langley particularly, and we should be beating sides like them at home.

To me they are not a patch on the side they had last sason but credit where credit's due they defended well, kept our wingers quiet and worked some good opportunities to test Jack Turner.

Yet it's still galling to think that they worked our keeper, more than we worked theirs. How did that happen? They weren't that good.

 

Agree Matt Lench and Alan Inns were our best outfield players on the night but Jack Turner could be man of the match for keeping out two goalbound efforts that would have lost us the game. The Gareth Price swivel shot was a superb save.

 

Plenty of effort from our lads tonight but just no cutting edge. Both Ben and Wazza Harris had non descript games. Their left back did a decent job on our diminutive winger IMO.

 

Two points dropped definitely.

 

The best thing about tonight was the sausage and chips on the way home ! ha ha ha !

TBF to Ben and Wazza they were not alone in having 'non-descript' games. There was a definite lack of spark and creativity on the night.

 

Two points dropped on pre game expectations but after 94 minutes I think it was definitely a point gained. 

[redwine rebel]

So Kings Langley draw at Kettering, draw at Kings Lynm and some think it should be a certain three points for us!

 

There are no certain points in any game

 

Think KL fought well and to be fair to Nathan don't think it was a penalty looked more like his chest but that's football without VAR x
