windsor 3 brook house 5

[mattwefc]

we let 5 in at home to a pub team.i dont know what else to say.

jon henry hayden looked like our best player and was subbed,whilst we still tried to play football on that dung heap of a pitch instead of hoofing it like brook house did.

the defending was abismal and once again we played poorly, its not the first time in recent times that windsor has done that either.something is badly wrong and suspensions and injuries have had no impact on the way we are playing. today was the first time in a long time that windsor fans have walked out before the final whistle....it shouldn't happen again.

So the pitch is a great leveler?

 

Slough played on a pitch which had grass and was flat and we got a result!!!

 

Maybe the condition of the pitch is coming back to bite you on the bum!!!!

 

I warned you earlier in the season about the pending logjam of games and now you are paying the price!

[chels - WEFC]

cant blame the pitch for [****!!****] football, lacking fight and spirit, pulled ourselves 2-1 up and conceded a goal right on half time to make it 2-2. nailed on pen, somehow not given. gotta be sorted out, should be winning games against these teams!

[Windsor_Sec]

"...suspensions and injuries have had no impact on the way we are playing."

So what you're saying then Matt is that the players who are injured or suspended shouldn't actually be at the club because their absence has made no difference?

 

SR1

a] Yes [And it's leveller by the way!]

b] 0-0 a result? Shows how desperate things have become!

c] Almost definitely, but it's not like we didn't know it was going to happen is it?

d] [****!!****] happens and no one really gives a flying [****!!****] what you think anyway

[Clive_Thistle]

Fair play to everyone who worked hard to get the pitch into a playable condition and fair play to the ref for using common sense and giving Windsor as long as possible to get the pitch into shape.

 

Another poor display, as has become the norm nowadays poor defending cost us. You don't expect to score 3 goals at home to Brook house and still comfortably lose the game (no disrespect to Brook house).

 

Its so frustrating watching what is effectively the same squad of players (minus Vargas) that was easily beating Premier opposition earlier in the season now struggle to even draw with

some of the weaker teams in our league.

 

We can only get a maximum of 82 points now. In short we can probably only afford to drop around 9 or 10 more points if we are going to make the play-offs. Without sounding like the prophet of doom I can't see it happening.

 

[Woody SUFC]

People say injurys/suspensions/players missing and the pitch shouldn't be an excuse...What should be then!?

 

We do not have a sqaud like chelsea with top players waiting to come in

[mattwefc]

what i meant by what i said was that the players on the pitch are those that should take the blame and not those who are injured or suspended. and at the end of the day whose fault is it that the players are suspended? discipline is awful and people making excuses is just a way to get out of it. we were dismal again against brook house and from what ive heard it was just as bad if not worse at lymington.painful memories of what happened last year are returning once again.what has changed because the majority of players are still at the club from the run that we had at the start of the season? i wait for more excuses to cover up for another lacklustre performance.....

[Woody SUFC]

Can't see tuesday going ahead and with a break next saturday lets hope we get a few players in and the injurys get slightly better. Can't make it tuesday but any rain monday and tuesday and there is no chance of a match on that bog

What a huge steaming pile of poo that was yesterday. Some of the players should hold their heads in shame.To give a poor side like Brook House starts with goals in the 3rd and 45th minutes is just crass stupidity and the players really should take a long look at themselves. If they could have shown 10% of the effort that others put into making the pitch playable then we'd have got the points.

 

Key point for me was with 15 minutes left the ref failing to give a 100% cast iron stonewall penalty in our favour that would have made it 4-4. Truth is though we didn't earn such good fortune. There's too many players at the club who don't have either the ethic or the nous to battle for wins against teams that play physical or route one football on mudbath pitches. It's a four hour round trip for me on the train every time i want to see a windsor game and it's a huge relief now that due to work and other committments mean i'm unlikely to have to suffer that dross again till next month.

 

I heard people calling for SL's head yesterday, we've 16 games in around 8 weeks coming up. Is there anyone who frequents this board who thinks they've seen enough to suggest that under his leadership this team has the b*ll**ks to go on an unbeaten run to make the play-offs? Non league football is not judged solely on skill, talent or soundbite, the players have to want it.

in a simple budget vs points calculation is there a single manager doing a worse job than simple simon at step 4 of non league football?

[Windsor_Sec]

Anon, you keep coming on here talking about budgets etc and unless you're a board member or Simon Lane in disguise then I can guarantee you haven't got a clue what you're talking about as they are the only ones that know what the budget is.

What actually makes your comments even more stupid is the fact that you obviously claim to know the playing budget of every team at Step 4 to be able to work out your budget vs points calculation!

Nailed on Relegation candidates, a dwindling support base, not even a sniff of a ground of your own and team chock full of Windsor cast-off's.

Haven't you got more than enough on your plate to be going on with Staines Rebel 1, or you putting it all on hold to concentrate on "serious album projects"?

Whatever else you can sling at SL i dont think a lack of prudence with regard to the playing budget is one of the more stickable offences. Not deleivering the hype, hiding behind a string of off the field excuses, lack of team dicipline and one-dimesional tactics i'd accept, but blowing the budget when he's kept well below his limit? A definite no.

[Woody SUFC]

Zoom do we want to become a maidenhead or a slough ( or a west ham or a charlton!) and have a number of managers come and go with out any real change? No. Stick with simon and let's see what he can do given at the very least a season and a half lets rememeber the state we were this time last year... and look at the line up changes. To call for anyone's head apart from the Williams OUT chant is a joke!!

As we discussed saturday Woody mate i agree that managers should be given time. I was far from being the foremost windsor fan questioning if SL should go saturday but i certainly think his position should be looked at and after coming in at the start of the season and promising this that and the other, he can have nobody to blame but himself if fans are being critical because it is he himself who created the expectations for this season against which he should be judged.

It's not the fact we're getting beat thats the problem Woody as if we wanted to see a winning team every week we'd be sitting in the Stag with the other sheep watching the likes of Man U v Liverpool every week, but it's the site of a team of relatively talented individuals too many of whom are not prepared to scrap for the points when the going gets tough with the continual leaking of goals, lack of discipline and failure to build on positive performances with back to back wins which this team is well capable of that makes us ask why?

Bottom line is Woody this division is a poor standard of football in which we should have no problem finishing in top 6 injuries, pitch or any other excuses aside.

morning boys,

 

first point, that is the worst pitch i have EVER played on, no way was is ever playable! on one side of the pitch ur foot got stuck in the mud and went past ur ankle, very dangerous, we wanted it off, glad it went ahead!

 

as for us not playing football, that is one reason we have had some poor results of late, trying to play on poor surfaces, so we did what most sides in this league do, played percentage football and it worked!

 

i cant figure out how ur manager picks the sides he does!!! leave 2 players on the bench that ruined us last time around?!?! apparently he picks a side to deal with the oppo rather than picking his strongest side and letting the oppo worry about windsor!

 

as for ur budget, urs is more than 3 times wot brook houses is, maybe we r a pub side but we r in the same league as u, above u, have just beaten u 5-3 and have the lowest budget in the league!

 

cheers for the 3 points

 

p.s if we r such a pub side, how come ur putting 7 dayers in for our players?

[Guest]

i don't often go to watch you lot play but i ventured in on Saturday as most park games were off. Im aware you are behind on games but no way should the ref allowed that to start as it was a bog and dangerous, parks are in better condition and they were off. Your style of football for that surface was wrong and your opposition had the right idea for long ball and keep the pressure in your half. Why is your manager so quiet at his players but screams at linos who are 35 yards from him, i kept hearing switch on switch on is that a secret code as not many seemed to be switched on.Your keeper was very verbal to start but went into a shell after the second goal.liked the mid fielder on loan looked comfortable on the ball with pace.two subs that came on looked better players than the others with pace and energy.defencivly the marking was shocking. Have read about pitches being levelers and budgets,thats all tosh as you have got to want to play and win for your club not just turn up for a game.you will have to improve a hell of a lot to reach the play offs. yes i did leave early but only to avoid the rush

[mal316]

Neutralbob, for that particular game yes it was the worst pitch ever and it should not have been played. Don't think I am saying that because we lost as I said it to quite a few people, including some of the Brook House players, before the game was finally declared on.

 

What do you base your buget figures on? Do you know our budget? Do you know the budgets of all the other clubs in this division? I would guess that the answer is no on both counts.

[neutralbob]

no i dont know the exact budgets, but i know a few of ur players and i know where most have come from and the sort of money they r/would be on, and it is easily double wot we r on, FACT

 

bottom line is, i feel u should be doing a hell of a lot better than u r, u have the players to smash this league, easily!

the reason he knows the budget is because he's the managers son!
he also lives on football forums like these!

he's the fat lad a the back that got roasted in the first game and the reason that we scored our late goal - he was the one playing Seedel onside!

let's stop talking about other clubs calling them pub sides and worry about ourselves and try to be positive for the good of the club.

fat bob - i'm here all week!!
