urchinman1961 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Even by my standards that was a hard watch I know the squad is threadbare but we hardly created any chances of Note taking nothing away from Bowers took their chances so good luck in the next round on the up side good crowd on the down side apart from the loss was the injury to our MOM Jordan,anyway enough self pity Up the Urchins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all just felt very flat and uninspired tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wivenhoe Urchin Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Yeah we needed more to get through this tie. With what we had, the right team progressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimbles left foot Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Really disappointed with the performance over both games, we lacked thrust and creativity in midfield with no one willing to travel with the ball. The defence often going long with no one winning the second ball...we made it easy for Bowers. A real shame to lose if nothing more then the money we'd have got from the next game. League our main focus now, hopefully a couple of signings through the door to boost morale and add abit of competition for places if nothing more. Oh a quick note of a decent attendance for a midweek game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walski Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 What's the update on missing players? No Higgins, Sutton, Brown, Hayles, Spence. All generally starters. Are they all injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Urchin Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Yes what’s happened to the players? We need an update on their return plus Johnson ? What’s happened to him? Needs new signings - what’s the point in attending east Thurrock if we have little on bench. Nice to see Saka on pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing at Braintree I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Urchin Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Ps I also heard last night that it was Chris Dickson’s last match as he is pursuing other interests. Surely players want to come and play for the Trophy champions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wivenhoe Urchin Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 There is still some really good play from this side even with players out and it didn't look like a fitness issue last night for the reason why we fell away late in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely players want to come and play for the Trophy champions? I think he can still do a job at this level or above. But to be honest he's not a target man and has been playing second fiddle to Higgins. Can't blame him if he's had enough at the age of 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I thought Johnson was cup tied? I think the Johnson that's at Braintree is Matt Johnson who use to play for us a few seasons ago. we have, as of the game last night, 9 players injured. Brown is hopeful for return on Saturday, not sure about the rest. Dickson, so programme says was his last game last night as he wants to pursue his full time job, which i think is a PT.

cup of tea Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Wasn’t at the game so can’t comment but it’s obvious that we’re currently struggling with injuries etc. Hopefully things will improve soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
