TODAYS GAME

[Cookie]

Thats just an excuse Graham.If they werent fit enough or feeling under the weather they should have said before the game.If they decide to go out there feeling unwell & not mention it then they should go out there & play to their best. Sorry cant go along with that.

[BlueGate Alan]

No excuse Tony, the flu, sickness bug has been rife in the team so they cant all not play can they, the squad isnt big enough.

[Pagey]

I almost always wait till next day to post my thoughts, that way I have calmed down

 

Best players in my eyes were in order SCS. Wilde and sappleton

 

Danny seemed off form, wasn't running all the time, looked fed up

 

Best thing I can get out of the match is that we didn't lose, but it was painful to watch. got to admit I wouldn't want to watch to many games like that

[blueblood]

This is why we need another striker Tony. you know yourself we can't all be up for it all the time it could be flu/lack of settled nights/ illness or other family problems/ hard week at work. Theplayers are no different than you or i, just human.

[Cookie]

So THATS the reason for the slump then the sickness.All makes sense now then.However point taken Alan.

[Boney Crisp]

The bug has been going around since game 3.

[Cookie]

Yes we do need another striker as back up I wont deny that but to say we didnt perform all over the park because of sickness alone is nonsense.I know they werent your exact words but thats the way it sounded.Am just glad SCS was free from all ills as we would have been lost without his magnificent goalkeeping.Sappleton too was very good in his first game back.Pinnock too gets a mention for his continued running & efforts.We underperformed and thats the real truth.As a TEAM it didnt work yesterday for whatever reason but as others have said I am confident that we can pull it round on Tuesday,yes confident.We know what they are capable of thats why!

In that case then we did well to fire up a magnificent performance against Chelmsford & were brilliant in beating Folkestone away 5-1. You sure it didnt start until after the Chelmsford game Alex,later than you mention?

[Boney Crisp]

Trott did not play against Chelmsford because he was ill, Mckimm did not play against Slough because he was ill and JJ was ill at one point, but i don't know what game that was. I think there has been 1 or 2 other ill players.

[Cookie]

Actually I recall having made a joke of a "burger" after the Folkestone game so it must have started then surely. In that case the slump has had to have been since then so maybe I am being a little harsh on them after all. I take some of my comments back in that case Graham. (BB)

[blueblood]

There are all sorts of whys and why nots, ifs and buts.

I listened to an interview with Adrian Pinnock on fridays sport slot on radio Kent. The interviewer asked why they had won on saturdays and not Tuesdays. His answer was he had 5 players who got up at 4 am to go to work, so by the time 7-45pm came around they had been up 14 plus hours, had done a days work and had then to play 90 minutes of competative football. A big penalty to carry when you are up against full time teams who get up at say,8-00am, train when there energy levels are at there peak and rest on the day of a game.

Cant argue with that Graham. Thanks for that. I may come out of retirement now then & put a few wagers on the opposition on those nights.

[Margate Martian]

i missed a good game then.

[seasidesteve]

is it not you mf who writes some of the reports for games to be read by the fans.if so i am entitled to comment on your objectivity and i will

[MargateFan]

Perhaps you might like in that case to give some concrete examples in the past reports of lack of objectivity.

[seasidesteve]

lol.i really cant believe how you see games completely differently from others.im sure we are all waiting with baited breath for the next installment of margate the great

[TonyM]

Come on you to,KISS and make up.

[MargateFan]

No examples yet, then.

[MargateFan]

Tony, I cannot believe that agreeing to do someone a favour, and then spending a lot of time and effort to do the best I can, can expose me to this kind of harassment.

 

If this is what following a football club brings, I need a new hobby.

[Number6]

We are still in the cup and i think that we will beat fleet at their place. 2-0 is my guess.
