PS Rams lost at Bromley.

[ScratMFC]

thank you wellsie sorry couldnt make it back sooner

[Gringo]

Thought we were [****!!****] first half to many long balls. Second half Robinson came on played very well we got the ball on the floor and scored two goals as a result. Jimmy Jackson my mom, can some one enlighten me as to why sesay is watching from the stands.

[Dave Dixon]

We just about did enough to win.

3 points more on monday would be nice.

Manny was there in a track suit. I presume he is injured.

Bertie was also there, but completely on his own.

No sign of McKimm though.

[SteveB]

Apparently McKimm was ill.

[color:"blue"]Told that Sesay has injured foot. McKimm Flu, Abbott sore shin.

Spoke to Sesay,he says he wants to play but its down to Trotty he says.

Agree with your comments above about the match. Robinson very good for the amount of time he was on.Jackson good & Skinner had a good one too.Two well taken goals.Hocktons goal well taken too from a pin pont cross from Protheroe.Poor first half but improved second.Much more to come I feel.Their goal came about because the defence was backing off leaving a massive target to aim at & they took advantage of that.Good crowd, though without the travelling support(about 50)it would have been less than Tuesday. 709, yes, (09) l.o.l.

Slough on a par to E.Thurrock I thought.

Hard earned 3 points in the end.But did it they did.My man of the match,a choice between Jackson, Skinner & Aaron Robinson.For his opportunist goal Jackson shades it for me too.

[Cookie]

Didnt see Manny. Heard he wasnt signing? You sure you werent confused with Sesay in a tracksuit?

[Boney Crisp]

Mckimm is ill apperently. I thought our second half performance was brilliant and worthy of a win, i dont think Slough had one decent shot on goal. The first half was very poor we looked ok in the first 15 minutes and when Hockton missed that sitter we were on the backfoot for the rest of the half. Robinson was brilliant today when he came on, but the thing is against Fokestone and everyone else for that matter we need to play for 90 minutes, not just 45. UP THE GATE

[Cookie]

Oh yes,that Hockton miss from..what was it...3 ft out. Was a quick ball to him though & wasnt that easy to put away even though from that distance you would have thought it impossible to miss.Took him by surprise & he really did well to get a foot to it at all at the speed it went to him.

[Chris1]

I was a bit disappointed with the way heads went down today when things weren't going our way. There were signs of it in the previous two matches as well.

 

We have the quality, but it's up to RT to get the boys playing together as a team. Players having a go at their team mates on the pitch is NOT what we want to see (Mr Hockton and others take note).

 

I agree with others above about Robinson. He seemed to make the difference when we were looking stale. If you can vote for a 2nd half sub as MOM he would be my man.

[Cookie]

Who was your first half man.o.t.match then Chris? l.o.l.. Was there one?

[Andy .]

Robinson made a massive differance in 2nd half , opening plenty of holes up with his pace . Hopefully one we can keep hold of , but only 3 games into new season 2 wins & draw , and not fireing on all cylinders yet i don`t think looking ok at mo but things can only get better. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/icon_band222.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/icon_band222.gif" alt="" />

[Paul H]

Sorry guys was told 2-2 by the missus. Well done chaps. Told you lot Robinson was good!

[michael]

Well done chaps.

 

Its a positive to get 3 points when by sound of it, we were not that special.

Grinding out the result is what its all about.

 

great stuff.

 

How 'sound ' did we look in central defence today, and once we were ahead,did we manage to keep possession in midfield a bit better ?

 

i would not knock the players having a go at each other-at least there is some passion there by sound of it and they care .

 

'There will be dancing in the streets of Stroud tonight'.

[Cookie]

Robinson DEFINATELY changed things I agree. Not normally a great fan of his I must admit but today in a short while he impressed. Abbot was way off par even before his injury. Sorry but Wisker dosent do it for me.But he's open to improvement I suppose. Fouls too much & dosent get his headers in.Standen replaced him & in a short while got stuck in.Good on him.

 

[Boney Crisp]

We managed to keep hold of the ball throughout the second half, apart from one or two occasions and the defence was very good in the second half, closing Slough quickly and often to stop them having chances.

[michael]

Thanks Alex-sounds a big improvement-thought these were our weaknesses on previous occasions

[Dave Dixon]

I suppose it could have been Sesay in the track suit. He was on the other side of the pitch to me.

Yes, Robinson was good, on the right too as opposed to the pre seasons games on the left.

Young Wisker looked a bit out of his depth but I am sure the experience will do him good.

Pinnock never stops running. I would love his energy.

I thought Donovan was ok again.
