Re: Player of the Season

Definitely Mike Atkinson.

Although Dom has been great too. And Archy most improved over the season. Maz too added a much needed goal threat.

Re: Maidstone game

I thought we started the season so well. Lots of great movement and good decisions on the ball.

But recently that’s all gone.

Today was just like many of the most recent games; everybody trying hard but no composure and bad decisions aplenty.

Re: Maidstone game

Why are we playing long high balls to somebody who’s 5 feet tall and is being marked by somebody 6 feet 5?

And why are we doing it again and again?

Re: Squad change

Absolutely baffled if we let Campbell go for footballing reasons. Was demonstrably really good at creating space. Wasn’t he?

Re: Chippenham here today.

A very frustrating game. A breakaway and a mistake led to their goals. I think Mr Page looks more comfortable going forwards than backwards as a defensive midfielder.

Not because of the free kick, but I think Archy is becoming a really good player. Causes sides problems with his runs inside and out.

Re: Truro home on Saturday.

They were just better, weren’t they? They were quicker, their movement more incisive, and their pressing was first class. Fair enough.

Re: Dorking Home Tuesday.

Ht 1-1

Really enjoying this. Amazingly adventurous strategy from Jules.

But it’s very intense out there. Worried that legs will wither in the second.

Re: Tonbridge on Saturday.

That was excellent.

I was worried when Jack went back to Sutton, followed by Ted back to Chelsea.

Needn’t have worried. Jerry seems to have grown in confidence, and Max looked like a Ted clone. In fact, Max should get an assist for that fantastic throw that led to the second goal.

The team looked ...

I had exactly the same thought during the match, Josh 😆

Re: Spennymoor Saturday 3pm

Oh dear, that was terribly disappointing today. Big Fella Upfront Syndrome swept through the team. By which I mean there was a lot of lumping it towards Alex to do something with. But there weren’t any midfield runners to help him out.

A very Un-Jules type setup and style of play, I thought. Quite ...

Re: Hashtag United (H)

First half we looked a little stagnant. Somebody would make a run to make space and others would stand around looking at that space. Odei probably the only one who really stood out, trying to make things happen.

Second half much better. Dynamic runs everywhere, people running into the spaces ...
