Beveree Chat

Not the most exciting game, but we were very disciplined. Most of the first half was Chelmsford defenders holding onto the ball, waiting for somebody to move, and us waiting for the counter attack. Felt sorry for Max M and Tobi, who kept getting no-chance balls to make something out of.

Second half ...

That was much better.

Defending was much more proactive. Much more energy all around.

There were other changes of emphasis, but without Widdrington the centre of midfield looked much more dynamic. Having Max back in there was great too, he leads by such a great example.

Dowse has blamed counter ...

Ouch. Don’t get me wrong, Maidstone are a very good side.

However, it was obvious at our last home game that we had a big problem in central midfield. A couple of us mentioned it in this forum.

The funny thing is, I think the back four did okay, considering. And Mike Atkinson had a good game too ...

Well, that was… interesting.

First off, credit to the lads for the comeback. That took guts.

Thought we looked very good on the flanks. The wingers had great games.

But oh, when we’re defending, that central midfield needs to have a word with itself. Thought Mike Atkinson played well, but there ...

That is poor in this day and age. He's made it clear that he doesn't like social media. But you can't say you want to improve the connection with the fans and ignore the number one method of doing so.

I’d like to know if we’re having plastic flowers around the edges, to complete the look.

A shame about Frimpong. Brought a much needed busyness to our midfield.

Thanks for those stats, Tony.

I have to say, I think we were saved by Dowse's astute use of the loan system. Eduino, Nana, Kwaku and Daniel played vital parts in the relegation struggle.

I think Max returning also helped us a lot. He helped organise the press up front, which was much needed.

So I ...

Happy end to the season. Enfield not great. We looked a bit drained but went about it professionally.

That was a nervy performance, but phew, after our descent earlier in the season, major props to Dowse and the team. They’ve done a grand job to keep us up.

Thought Chippenham had done their homework very well, playing with a solid centre, trying to nullify our overloads in central midfield in some ...

Nice to see a back four. Gave us lots of intensity in midfield which made Farnborough panic. Great goals too.

Everybody worked so hard.

Special well done to Max. He leads the press so well.

That was superb. The intensity from all the players was first class. They didn’t let up at all.

In defence we didn’t let them settle. Their ball player was often surrounded by several of our guys.

Attacking wise, the support play was great, lots of movement.

Particularly enjoyed Mike Atkinson’s ...
