Match Day 21st October matches

[Sparrow]

Conceded the same goal twice in the space of two seconds and then Kane Ferdinand murdered someone in the centre circle.

 

[GuiseleySteve]

Cracking free kick from Lee Molyneux today:

Bore of a draw at Crabble, Maidenhead we nothing and we were just 10% better, Frustrating as another team visit us and pack there defence and time waste from the first minute, Dover eventually took the lead then looked for the second, only to allow Maidenhead to equalise with the first shot on target in the 93d minute, we need to kill off games like this, had the possession and chances, but failed to impress. although the new guy did well.....................................
Still second in what is becoming a stranger season by the week,
Woking mid week, the second longest trip for us this season as we jet off to Gateshead next week

 

[B2TF]

It's clear the Conference is piss poor this season.

What's happened to you lot over the summer? Completely tore us apart in the play-offs yet you were shocking today, offered nothing going forward and it was just a case of if we could put the ball in the net.

We sold the keystones and replaced them with cheap glue, and the bridge came tumbling down. Nobody in the entire National League is finding it harder to score than us.

 

[Joe.]

I assume he’s about 20 Stone now?

Probably been out best player since signing.

Barrow weren't bad today, we just had that little bit extra in the final third. Nothing much else to add really.

 

[Master D]

Tranmere are still winning this league.

 

[slaphead]

Tranmere are still winning this league.

On today’s showing, they’re not even getting near the playoffs. Slow, one-dimensional, and in a bit of bother. No idea what Mellon has done but he’s taken a good side and fucked it.

Fair play to you for your second half performance, the best football anyone has played against us this season.

We made it easy for you though with our 10-0-0 formation. Why Mellon felt the need to be so negative is beyond me, as we were playing Aldershot after all, not Real Madrid. Our back four actually did well to keep you out as long as they did, with some brilliant last-ditch stuff.

We still have a core of good players, but Mellon's recruitment has been shocking. He should not be allowed to make another signing.

 

[Silver Stone]

So, abandoned then. Correct decision looking at the video footage! Too bad it means a wasted trip and we go back later for a midweek visit.

 

[Raymondo316]

Watching the live stream I was surprised the game wasn't called off earlier. The conditions were bloody awful

 

[Shotsfan1993]

Tranmere got what they deserved, absolutely nothing. Davies' timewasting was ridiculous although ironically it allowed the added time for Rendell to score the winner.

What I didnt understand, is how Tranmere, struggling in mid table, tried to hold on for a point after we equalised instead of trying to attack. There was only one side trying to win the game late on.

Tranmere are also only the 2nd side in 7 years to lose against us after going ahead (we beat Braintree twice in 2015/16 after going behind)

While I find his antics extremely irritating, arguably the best player on the pitch was McNulty - I lost count of the amount of times he got in the way of goalbound shots.

It could be going ten foot wide and he'd still be in the way.

Off the bottom. The march to promotion has begun.

Alabi? See he played nearly all game for you.

Any Shaymen's thoughts on Waring? See he got the goal, so can't have been all bad.

One rung at a time, moving on up

 

[DarkSithLord]

Surely Davis must be on thin ice at Orient. That stat of 14 wins in 108 games or whatever it is is shocking.

Really feel for them. Seems he's back to the blame game of throwing players under the bus after every defeat. I warned Orient fans this would happen and it's no surprise. That nasty piece of work needs to be booted out of the game for good. He's totally out of his depth.

No win since the 2nd September is inexcusable for a club of Orient's stature in that league. He constantly blamed budgets for his lack of success with us (League One he had a bottom 4 budget but others on smaller budgets like Burton and Rochdale coped just fine, but this is despite having a Top 12 budget in League Two last year). He's easily got a Top 5 budget at Orient this year and he knows he can't use that as an excuse. There's a talented squad there at Orient but, because it's Davis, it's badly mismanaged. What you get is a veritable smorgasbord of possession based football to nowhere, the early trademark appetiser of very cheap goals conceded from daft defensive mistakes or a bad pass (usually the opposition's first shot on target) followed by a main course of hoofball to a small striker and then summed up with a dessert of "The players have no fight. The players don't know how to win. I'm a fighter, I'm a winner." rhetoric that he usually spouts after the inevitable defeat.

Interesting to see how he gets on against Gateshead and Wrexham this week. I usually go to the Racecourse Ground once a season so, with the Alex being at Colchester, I might pop down to see how bad it really is next Saturday...

To be honest, I think it was the dust-up involving both sets of players that resulted in most of the injury time rather than Davies. I agree about McNulty but your number eight was also outstanding, seemed like an ideal replacement for Benyu.

 

[Master D]

Orient's squad is easily top 5 so if they can make a change soon they can still win the league (ahead of favourites Tranmere even).

 

[Sestonpoolie]

Fair result I thought but a real sickener to concede so late, but we've done it to other teams this season already so just how it goes.

It was never going to be a classic, the weather was minging and both sides just kept pumping long balls off the pitch left right and centre, Sutton must've had 5 players over 20 stone playing today, team full of fatties, I thought it was a supporters team at first.

CH sets us up not to lose, we need to be more attack minded at home, Sutton were there for the taking at 1-0, push on get a second and finish them off, instead we sat back and invited long balls into the box which they eventually scored.

They deserved appoint the pressure they put us under,but what a pack of utter twats that team is.
Time wasting virtually from the kick off until we scored,foulng constantly to stop the flow of the game,going down like they'd been shot.Some of the diving they were doing was ridiculous,even more ridiculous the ref buying it.
But were were warned by Wrexham,Tranmere fans we'd come up against teams like that.

 

[DarkSithLord]

It's clear the Conference is piss poor this season.

Thats been clear for a number of weeks now!

 

[Solihull Mooron]

We were awful defensively yesterday. Conceded four goals in a game where we were never really put under much pressure by Guiseley.

This league is making me fall out of love with football. £17 a ticket to watch football devoid of skill against teams set up to frustrate, cheat and ruin from the first whistle. Not every team, but a significant proportion. It's only mindless loyalty that is making me travel the best part of 100 miles each way to watch us, but admittedly I'm making that journey less and less frequently this season. My wallet and mental health are both feeling the benefits!

Well it's gonna be a bit embarrassing when neither of us put on the expected footballing spectacle this Tuesday!

The 'devoid of skill' bit of my post applied mainly to us!

 

[DontBringBertie]

Another routine win at Hayes Lane against a poor Woking side. And a woeful two footed challenge from Ferdinand in the second half that fully deserved the red card.

Not sure how the ref, who was looking straight at the challenge, decided it wasn’t even a foul at the time but then gave a red a couple minutes later after the Bromley players asked him to.

Hey come on, man up - Shaymen, Chester, Darlington and Hereford fans stuck with their teams when they had to watch them playing works and pub league teams, because they knew they were needed more than ever. It's easy to support a team in the good times, if you want to see them again, back your team!
