I do think it’s time to ease Massey out the starting 11 and move to a back 4.

Lacey always impressed me at right back. King and Fernandez should be more than capable in a 4 .


I’ve never been a huge fan of 3 centre backs but it kind of worked for us today.

I think the difference was that we ...

So much better. Not so many pointless 50/50 punts upfield. Instead, runners everywhere supporting the ball carrier. And when we lost the ball we constantly harried them.

We actually used our central midfield today to carry the ball, and consequently create width, and Sam, Kwaku and Max made the ...

Terrible first half. Yet again we're not learning any lessons. Still trying to get it forward quickly in the hope that players up front can "do something with it".

At times we have up to four forwards up against their back line all trying to do this exact same thing. It got so predictable that ...

I’m with Tony on this one. I think we got bullied. I think we put in a decent shift but I think we need a better plan against sides who press really well. What we did most of the time was panic and go long. Maybe a back three wasn’t a good idea today, got outnumbered in central midfield.

Hurrah! Showed fantastic character. Well done, everybody.

First half was so frustrating though. I’m not anti-long ball when it works. But it doesn’t work for us. Too many players trying to play 60-yard worldies over the top to run onto.Not working. Hasn’t worked all season. Occasionally we’ll get a ...

1-0 That worked!

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think that’s the first time I’ve seen us jump on the man-to-man marking fashion that’s been prevalent in top flight football recently. And it stifled Worthing a treat. Takes a lot of concentration to do that, so well done everybody. Amazing effort ...

Interesting interview with Dowse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpNBuI4Fx1o.

Calling for better players and that no-one was better than 6/10. He's already brought in a lot of players so is he saying those he brought in are no good? Also maybe changing systems when we are not creating chances ...

10/10 for effort but we’re so easy to mark, so predictable when going forward.

Dorking goals from Saturday.


That second goal is why I fear for us. Our attack breaks down. Dorking winger takes off. Man meant to be covering him ball watches, so lets him go. They play the ball into central midfield, our central midfielder chooses ...

We do look fitter, I’ll say that. And I completely agree with you, Tony, until Dorking scored we looked on top. The defending was much more active, without the instant drop back that’ been an annoying feature of recent years.

And yes, Dorking are a very streetwise team. They’re almost appealing for ...

That was tough. Maidenhead were good. Very good.

But, to be honest, it was a case of Yesterday's Football vs Today's Football.

They had great movement, interchanging of positions to confuse us, short passes designed to drag us around.

We were old-fashioned, hurried long balls down channels ...

Of course, the main thing about a players' collective is getting used to calling each other "Brother" - Brother Alan, Brother Paul, Brother Charlie, and so on.

Although I do hear that the young folk are in the habit of calling each other "bro", so it might not be too much of a stretch.
