"shrinking violets" - wasn't talking about Jay S was he? and is there a difference between full-time and part-time shrinking violets? Answers on a postcard to third wash-room along Victoria Station

Fleet thumped by Conference new boys

Grays Athletic 6 - 1 Gravesend & Northfleet

 

GRAVESEND manager Liam Daish warned his players that he will not tolerate shrinking violets as he kicked over the debris of Tuesday’s 6-1 rout away to newly-promoted Grays.

 

Daish kept his players behind a locked dressing room door 30 minutes after the final whistle before emerging with an early double-barrel blast ahead of Saturday’s second derby in five days at Canvey.

 

He said: "I want these players to take on as a group what it’s all about surviving at this level."

 

Then warned: "We’ve given players full-time opportunities, they’ve one crack at it and this could be their last chance, so they had better make the most of it."

 

A hat-trick from Gray's John Martin did the bulk of the damage on Tuesday. His treble was added to by Dennis Oli, Glenn Poole and substitute Jamie Slabber.

 

The Fleet were already 3-0 down before Charlie MacDonald scored their consolation.

 

To add to Gravesend's misery, goalkeeper Andy Keer was sent off in the second half.

 

Gravesend: Kerr, Gooding, Smith, McCarthy, Skinner (Glozier 68), Slatter, Bowry (Omoyinmi 45), Saunders, Jackson, MacDonald, Grant (Mott 70). Subs Not Used: Surey, Drury.

Definitely looking like relegation probabilities with that sort of team out there. And a manager like Daish won't know what to do when the going gets really tough in October-November.

Thats a tough threat from the get-go...half an hour! Interesting to see if this pep talk works.

and to talk about survival two games in, i don't think that will spread much confidence.

Daish has NO record as a manager anyway.

 

Amazed they appointed him.
