The worst performance of the season. Best player was Scott Davies as he didn't get on the pitch. Wasn't a player that was above a 2 put of 10 and everyone of those that played today should pay back what ever wages they got for the game. An absolute disgrace.

I also have a question for anyone on here that stands behind the goal and clapped at the end - could you tell me what on earth you are applauding? There was no effort, no heart, no quality, no shots and no performance at all, so what are you clapping?

[REBEL MATTERS]

That was awful. First time in years I feel we’re in BIG trouble of exiting this league..

[Irishadrian]

Surely you mean the worst performance of the season so far!

[Reading Rebel]

It's not just the fact that we lost 4-0 to a team that are going down but it's the manner of the defeat that's so disappointing.

To hardly have a shot all game let alone a shot on target against a side that have hardly won a handful of games all season is shameful. 

The players need to take a hard look at themselves and be ashamed of what they served up today.

Big response needed or we really are in trouble.

 

 

[Russ_Rebel]

An absolute joke, thank God we started the season well, we may just stay up, trouble next season at this rate 

[Sir Rebel1965]

There is nothing wrong with this result.

It happens when players are told that it is now time to build a squad for next season.

Those already on contacts know they will play next season, so can switch off, what's the term, "already on the beach"?!?!

Those not on contracts know they are likely to be replaced, so why bust a gut.

So there is nothing unsurprising with today's result based on the circumstances.

Not many tied to a contract for next season, Davies, Roth and Pruti? Any others? Lost our best player Leon and our top scorer Slavi is off. Just hope we don’t lose Baylis, Ochieng and Ogbonna.

[Twyford Rebel]

Absolute nonsense. If you feel that there is nothing wrong with this result then you need a reality check. If players are complacent (for whatever reason) then they don't deserve to wear the shirt. We are still fighting for survival. I don't want apathetic players representing our team.

Let's be honest here... this result was an utter embarassment.

[Holyport Rebel]

Every Slough fan that came out of the ground at the end of the match yesterday was obviously understandably  very unhappy.
Did I think it was a worse performance than that Tonbridge disaster last season ?
I thought not, as I felt on that day the team "gave up"  for the final period of the match.
Was it worse than away to Kidderminster in the Trophy this season ?
Again, I thought not, although obviously Kidderminster  were a much, much better team than Weymouth.   
"SloughFlyer" has asked on here "why did anyone standing behind the goal clap after the final whistle".
I cannot of course speak for anyone else, but I was one of those who did  and will explain my reason for doing so.
I think that I will never hurl abuse or criticism towards the team or management at the ground after a game.
I couldn't do it.
I don't think for one moment that being this way makes me a "better" fan than someone who does.
I would hope that someone , or those that did  yesterday, wouldn't think that by doing so makes them a "better" fan than me.
If letting off steam at the team that way gives you some comfort, at least there is some reason for doing it, but I just think that it is not going to help matters.
If I was a player getting abuse, would that abuse make me want to come into training on Tuesday and Thursday and give my all?
Would it make me want to give everything come matchday Saturday ?
It wouldn't me.
Don't get me wrong, as soon as I walked through the door when I got home my other half got it in crystal clear  detail as to what I thought had gone wrong during the match.
I just don't think shouting uncomplimentary things towards the management and team after a game does anything positive.
After the final whistle and the team headed in the general direction towards us fans behind the goal I wasn't clapping, but when Scott had the balls to break ranks and head straight up to the barrier to listen directly to the fans "complaints", I was clapping to show my support and backing for the manager of my football team.
That's my view on things.
Others on here may have vastly different ones.
On another matter, Scott said in his interview that some money had been put behind the bar for us fans to have a drink yesterday.
Did any Slough fan know about this ?
I didn't hear any talk about this on the supporters coach.
A free lemonade would have been one positive on what was a  pretty negative day.

HR I agree with everything you have said the team needs more encouragement from the supporters when they are losing not abuse that gets you know where…

In sixty years of supporting the Rebels I have always got behind the team and players what ever way the game is going and have never walked out during a game…

On the drinks Colin who was sitting in front of me saw the message from Scott on X  ì suppose one of the leaders  should of announced it to all before we were getting off the coach.

Weymouth has never been a great hunting gound for us it was only a few years back when they put six past us.

Away from the game its a great ground to visit the sun was out but very windy and cold had a great chat with there supporters and must say never seen the main stand so sparse a gate of only 830 and a good 100 of those were Rebel supporters.

To Scott Management and Players keep your heads up and take no notice of the constant moaners and whingers they will never be satisfied.

I hate to quibble Holyport Rebel, but does not clapping really constitute abuse?

I'm sure that many of us have let off steam every now and then after a particularly bad performance (usually when times are bad, a few choice comments after a 3-0 home defeat by AFC Hayes in 2008 stand out in my memory, as does our reaction to a defeat at Grays Athletic way back in 2000), but I don't think this has really been a major issue (by which I mean that a lot of fans are doing it regularly) since the days of Steve Brown.

[RebelVilla]

Whatever people's feelings are regarding the result and performance yesterday, the most important game now is next Saturday's game at home to Aveley. 

Win that one and we should be 99% safe.

We do not want to rely on other teams losing, let's put in 5 big efforts into the final 5 matches of the season and finish with a good run of results.

 

[Holyport Rebel]

Hi Nathan.

Thanks for your reply to my post.

Am I correct that you think I am saying not clapping after a game is "abuse". ?

No Nathan, I'm not saying that at all.

The "abuse"/criticism that I am referring to was the incident at the end of the game, which is what I think Scott refers to in his after match interview. 

In his interview Scott talks about ...............

"some of the comments we got after the game which I've never heard of before in my 250 games here."

I may be wrong of course but I think Scott is talking about some Slough fans who came down to the front of the stand we were in behind the goal at the final whistle and loudly made their displeasure regarding that day's performance clear to him.

Scott calmly listened to them and then moved away.

Scott went on to say in his interview that........

"we deserved it. I don't mind it". (The criticism)

I'm not saying those fans were wrong to behave that way.

I have said that everyone will have a different viewpoint on things.

Just for me it is something that I do not think will help matters, that's all.

And Steve D, thanks for the news about the comment from Scott appearing on x/twitter regarding the free drinks.

Not for the first time I say NOT EVERYONE HAS A FLIPPIN' SMARTPHONE.

And yes, I agree with you Steve, that I would have thought someone on the coach would have announced this to everyone on  board.

Great day yesterday.

Not.

Didn't get a programme ,Weymouth  only do one of those worthless online versions.

Didn't get a free lemonade either.

Did not think to mention it to you as you usually have a walk away from the ground before the game.

[sdelaney2308]

For all those who think it is easy to beat Weymouth 16 games and only 5 wins.

Playing against the strong wind was not helpful also.

Must be said 1 down early but before we could get back in the game there 2nd goal come from another attack hits guy and ball falls to there player who slides it past Chalie no different to Slavi.s goal against Hornchurch.

You win some you lose some.

Funny you mention that Steve because if we had got to the ground earlier than we did I fully intended to walk the 40 minutes down to the beach and back before kick off.

Got there too late to do that but did go for a shorter stroll, but either way I wouldn't have missed the chance for a free drink if I'd have known about it ! 😄

Sleep walking into a relegation fight, just like Dover, Havent & Waterlooville, Dulwich Hamlet , Dartford, Taunton signs have been there for far too long our early season form means nothing now , we've seen this coming , squad inbalance has been obvious all season and addressed too late , now with injuries suffered which can't be accounted for , we are in trouble

We’re 11 points clear still so I wouldn’t say we’re in a relegation dogfight. But things can quickly change especially with some tricky fixtures still. I think we’ll be ok but only just.

Wasn’t that the season we got reprieved?

 

On 11/03/2025 at 23:45, Nathan said:

You are both wrong; we were indeed relegated from the GM Vauxhall Conference to the Diadora Isthmian League at the end of the 1993/94 season, having had a fast start and being top in August.

I recall a similar fast start at the start of the 2000/01 season, again we were top in August but this also ended in relegation. Is this beginning to sound familiar? 😀😉

As for the reprieve I think you are thinking of the 2007/08 season, where we were reprieved from relegation from the Southern League Division One South & West to either the Hellenic League or Combined Counties League.

Playing against the strong wind wind, blah, blah, blah. "Win some, you lose some".... We never win away. Always excuses. Too much complacency.

I was talking about there 2nd goal hits Guy falls to striker 2 nil puts them on the way to a win same thing happened to us  v  Hornchurch hits there player falls to Slavi who scores the winner.

I am just as unhappy as you about the result especially all the extra driving  to get to the game and getting back home.

But slagging people off gets you nowhere.

One thing I would never do is boo or shout abuse at the team or management after a poor/bad performance.

Clapping after a poor performance is something I wouldn't personally do but I can see the reasons why some might choose to.

There are some people who think that if you choose to vent your anger after a bad performance, whether that's at the game or on social media, makes you a lesser supporter or not really a true supporter, which of course is utter nonsense.

People are different and will react in different ways after a bad performance but by choosing to express their feelings outwardly doesn't make them any less of a supporter than those that choose to bottle up their anger by staying silent.

Personally if I was a player getting stick because I was having a shocker I would roll my sleeves up and be determined to prove those supporters wrong but that's just me.
