Re: Review of the Season
I just watched the highlights of the Maidstone game. Good example of counter attacking play which brought them a couple of goals in the second half.

Re: Review of the Season
Welcome Sparky, good to have some fresh views on here. Where I would disagree slightly is that quite a few often better teams in this league do press much higher compared to us and we have found that hard to play through without resorting to a speculative long ball forward. You could see the differe...

Re: Review of the Season
Josh, I share your analysis almost exactly. We need different options in midfield and up front and players who can stay fit and available more of the time. And we need some experience in vital positions. Dreyer would be a good signing but also need an experienced third CB. I too would pass on Bloomf...

Re: Review of the Season
As I said in my original piece, 9th would be fine if we had built momentum towards it with the feeling that steady improvement would be carried into next season. But the last 10 games have been dire and begs the question about several players and tactics. Not sure I would be very confident that a si...

Re: Review of the Season
A string of poor results cost us the playoff place. Seems a bit unfair to blame it on the inexperience of some players. Mel picks the team at the end of the day. It would be interesting to compare the tactics from when we were on the good run to what they were come the end of the season. In the Oct...

Re: Review of the Season
Mel’s comments now up. Interesting that some of the younger players already signed for next season plus expecting two or three new faces. Personally I think it needs a lot more than two or three otherwise we are going to struggle. Message seems to be that young players are naive at times and that wi...

Re: Review of the Season
Has any post match interview with Mel been posted anywhere yet? I haven't seen one.... What can he say? I would hope there would be some analysis of why form went off a cliff at the vital point in the season. Supporters don’t get to see what goes on behind the scenes so may not appreciate any valid...

Re: Review of the Season
At some point when the dust has settled we’ll get to hear their assessment of the season and what their plans and ambitions are for the squad. As ever it will come down to money and ability to recruit well. No doubt our better players will be targeted and attracted elsewhere and we will do the same ...

Review of the Season
Review of the Season – Season of Progress? Football can be a cruel sport but the pain Hampton are feeling this evening after missing out on the play offs by one point feels largely self-inflicted. Just when it mattered most, the team’s form cratered gaining a measly 9 points from their last 10 games...

Re: Maidstone away.
Truly awful end to the season and yes we blew the play offs when was always in our hands. Will be interesting to see how Mel explains such a total collapse in form.
