Phew!!!

Well done the lads, 4th round here we come. Not a great performence though, when will the Canvey of old start showing?

I really can't see us going to far in the cup like previous years with the type of performence of late.

we seem to need another gear or 2..

My post match views while Merv is busy typing away his report:

 

What planet was Chris Duffy on today?

 

I don't think Forbes done as bad as most of the crowd made out today.

 

Chenery's distribution today looked very suspect!

 

Proths & Brayley changed the game when they came on today. Two substitutions I thought actually worked!!!

 

JK is gonna end up looking like Mick Jagger with all the knocks and stitches he's been getting recently.

 

Was that Gregory's groin that went today?

 

Good acrobatics by Dobbo today, led to a lovely Protheroe free-kick.

 

Roscoe saved our skins a few times today and Potter was rather quiet despite a few scares.

 

As for the rest, well you can judge for yourselves. I didn't know how to rate their performances today.

We might get further than you hopefully!

struggling against a side that was 3rd divisoners last term lol

Is exactly true!

 

They put there souls into today's game and it was fortunate that they were as bad as us in the first-half or the scoreline might have been reversed!!!

on 63mins the change was from 4 at the back to 3 at the back boosting mid-field and forward line to match the opposition 5/6 at their back-line

the change was timely and worked

[Matt H]

Going by the last two matches, I cannot see how Lee Protheroe is being kept out the side!!!

 

I sponsored him, I want to see him play! He scored a great free-kick yesterday and battled hard in midfield.

 

Please, please, please put him in the starting line-up against Borfleet!!!

The starting line up has changed to often to gain any consistancy in the side, this does not help when a team full of new faces need time to gell.

Maybe with the departure of Ollie and Doz will help Jeff put out a regular side and be less confusing for him on who to use and who not to use.

To be honest it would seem he has had more players then you can wave a stick at to choose from.

Referring to the news article on the main site about Purfleet I've just had a look on their site and their fans don't seem that faised about yesterday's defeat!

 

But even though the game was played at Flackwell's ground I had to laugh when someone put 'Purfleet', 'good crowd' & 'good atmosphere' in the same sentence!!!

Well now Pumpkin - one must consider that it was at Flackwell, they most probably carry twice the support Purfleet do, especially on an FA cup day! They will most probably say the same when we visit them!! A great atmosphere as long as you don't have to stand in line for a tea or hamburger, best take a picnic!!

[SAINTS64MAD]

our team has gelled but seems to lack it now and again!

[Phil Old Boy]

Why isn't Duffy playing on the left and JK on the right.

[Merv]

I don't know what you're talking about Phil. I stood at the sea-wall end in the first half and I saw Duffy on my left and JK on the right.

 

Mind you, my friend who stayed at the sea-wall end for the second half said they swapped over after the break.

 

From where Jeff stands, near the dug-outs, perhaps it's just as confusing!

[Matt H]

Actually Duffy was playing down the right wing, Forbes was playing down the left wing and JK was the little scavanger man in the middle.

[Wilf]

Actually - I agree with the earlier comments.

Duffy wasn't playing much, ANYWHERE.

[George Manning]

Mind you, my friend who stayed at the sea-wall end for the second half said they swapped over after the break.

 

 

What you mean you've actually got a friend? No wonder he stayed at the sea wall end for the 2nd half! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/thefinger_red.gif" alt="" />
