A few thoughts on last night

[Rob_the_Saint]

A good game, good performance throughout, special mentions for Corey (my MotM), Evo, 'bend it like Beckett' Hollenbach, Smith and Crawshaw.

 

Thought Simon Martin looked a bit out of sorts; is he carrying an injury?

 

Good crowd too, lots of new faces at the City end. Could get 900 for the K's game if we win at Harrow methinks.

Last night was the first time we've gone behind all season, but we dealt with it well.

 

I hate all this "go a goal ahead and then defend resolutely for the last half-hour" stuff though. Not good for your fingernails, or indeed the enamel on your teeth.

...couldn't agree more

though this practice of lets take an attacker off and defend at all costs mentality is not good for the nerves!!!

As I said to Mr Zeal last night, what we all really need is to give someone a hiding, to calm the nerves. When is the first match against Enfield? I'm also a little concerned over the fact that we don't appear to be creating many chances. Minor quibbles though, really. Six down, forty to go.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

We have Enfield, Boreham Wood, Hitchin and Harrow all to come in the next three weeks. If we don't give one of those four a hiding, we never will!!

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Bloody 'ell. Just realised - I've passed the 800-post mark!!

[ESG]

Your not far wrong LOL

Indeed goal scoring chances were a bit thin on the ground

though we seem to have all the possession , so sooner or later some goalie's gonna get a very sore back

 

Still, its bloody great though!!!!!!....and the "Legend" in the Clubhouse at half-time what more could you want

[Rob_the_Saint]

Agree about the chances. I'd like to see Oakes and Challinor push up a bit more and get somebody out wide on the right like Rob Kean maybe. But who would you leave out?

 

As someone once said, 138 points is still on.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I'd settle for a draw at Purfleet and 136 points.

Managed my first trip to the Park this season so a few thoughts from me:-

 

* £2 for a programme! and even then no sign of the league table in there!

* Canvey looked a strong fast side, but didn't treaten too much around the box (I can't remember a decent save required from Wilmot in the whole 90 minutes)

* I thought at times that we lumped the ball forward too quickly, playing to Canvey's defensive strength in the air

* Overall I came away feeling a little lucky that we had won, but I guess we can't have been lucky six times this season already

Did Wilmot play the usual style? Like Seaman?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

No, he played well.
