Sadly gents you lost cos of some inept refereeing and a linesman who couldnt see that the Redbridge goal scorer for the second goal was 2 yds offside when the ball was played through.

That was injustice which makes me gag to say it, but fairs fair, you were robbed as they say.

 

Never mind they'll be relegated this year, an with a bit of luck you could make the play off's.

"Robbed" in the first and second match against the same club and with the same officials? Surely not? Well hopefully if that was the case then it will balance out over the whole season and we'll have more of the decisions going our way in other matches.

 

Well done to Fenny. Maybe there are a few players you might want to keep after all?

Redbrige battled and fought more than Town, but are a limited team.Its an absolute disgrace to play so poorly against them twice in a week.

 

The ref was a complete joke,and we've seen some charaters in our time, but he's up there with the best of them.Total failure to follow the laws of the game and to protect the players of both sides.An absolute master class in how to lose controll of a game.It was a mirror image of saturday. Don't you just love refs that ignore violence and two footed tackles,but then book players for talking back to him.What joy!

 

Also why did Town have the same trigger-happy and over fussy linesman both halfs.Our players had to be a least a yard on-side, for his flag not to flutter.In contrast Redbrige had a linesman for the full 90 minutes that blatently refused to flag an offside.Their second goal was a least 3 yeards offside,and there were at least two ocassions soon after where he let them continue through on goal whilst being so far in front of the Town defence,it was embarrasing.

 

With Redgridges understandable time-wasting,waiting for a replacement ball every time it was kicked out of the ground, and the three oaccassions in the second half when the trainer came on (and the 5 substitutions).Most town fans calculated that a mimimum of 8-10 minites should have been added.I don't think this character added on anything.Not by my watch anyway.I doubt the ball was in play in the second half for more than 15-20 minutes.

 

Now coming to Town performance.It is worring that our front-two look so inneffective and weak in both games against such an average side.Half the team were battling for every ball, whilst when it went up to the forwards,they either failed to get infront of their man,or if that did gain possesion,they lost it within seconds with little 'fairy-flicks' or weak passes.Neither of them looked like they had the power to kick the ball with any real conviction last night.The shots from the edge of the box were embarassingly weak and showed no real conviction.

 

We have dedicated players in good form sitting on the bench looking at these sort of perfromances on the pitch, they must be disheartened.I would seriously consider playing two midfielders up front on saturday. Seriously.

 

Ps: Whats happened to Velendia and kojo?? more wasted talent?

LS.

Just about right.

We have a very "weak" front two and playing long, high balls will not help their style of play.

Golden chances were missed in both games and that was part of our downfall.

The only time Town got any efforts on goal was on the ground and round the back.

Why do we persist with the high long ball game ?

The other problem was our defence could not clear their line.

The first goal last night was due to a "weak" header out by Geordie.

In my opinion, until we "toughen up" games will be lost to poor sides like Redbridge.

Can imagine Borehamwood loosing to that lot ?

Two poor games, two poor performances and a very very poor Referee who had NO control.

Improvement and a bit of "attitude" required. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/boxing.gif" alt="" />

Wasn't the last time we didn't try the long ball over the top at Great Wakering?.

Yer, and look what happened there !
(oh, we scored 5 )
Can someone come on here and defend the long ball game ? Doubt it, cos it just ain't working.

Loosing a game is not the point.
Loosing in the manner that we did IS the point.
Does anyone know of a "real" centre forward like Steve West etc
( or similar, before we end up with a 50 reply thread on Steve West ) <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/boxing.gif" alt="" />

Wasn't Billy Cove a bit like Westy?

 

Old Towner is right,you cannot play highs ball to Paul of Hammett.The'll win one header in ten.Neither of them have the pace,direct running or dribbling ability to run at defences Carl Richards/Danny Clark style. They are supposed to natural penalty box poachers.Unless we play to their strenghs (and their form improves dramatically) we will struggle to score goals.How many times have we failed to score this year,compared to last?

 

The only time Hammett and Paul have looked anything like forming a partnership or looked dangerous was against Great Wakering.Unless they can reproduce that performance week in week out (something that they havn't done since that game) then we need to look a bringing in a new forward AND QUICK.

You seem to forget, we are now in a higher league with many more teams at our level. In the ESL a large number of our games were bankers. In the SLE very few are.

The league is the most important thing this year and in our first season we are in third place. It normally takes time for newly promoted sides to find their feet. We have pretty much already.

We've found our feet againt bottom half Southern Div 1 teams (who'd i say, give us no more real problems than ESL teams).Its our failure against top 8 sides (sides who are slightly better than ESL teams) that i find worrying.Yes we have strenghened our squad in certain areas, but i don't think we have done that up front.Don't forget we have let forwards like Clarke,Cove,Cooper,and Nyman leave the club because they wern't concidered good enough by Jim.I'm saying our strike force (on current form) ,are weaker than any combination of any of those players that have left.Paul for instance has completly missed a free header to score from 6 yards, in all of the last THREE matches.
