National League Fixtures - 30/3/2019

[Monkey Tennis]

Embarrassingly we got beaten by Boreham Wood. Gave them a penalty and a free-kick, and that was the sum total of their game today. How such a big side can spend so much of the match rolling about on the floor is shocking. Sadly we're guilty for helping them stay up.

 

[Master D]

Ffs Wrexham what happens every March? It's almost like you deliberately avoid going up.

We've had 2 promotions in 41 years, we don't do 'going up'.

 

[CFC91]

The leagues form team continue to steam Roll our way to the top half.

Sheridan and Boden two fantastic acquisitions. Optimistic about next season now

 

[chief]

I'd rather risk it all on an investor than carry on like this. It's a win-win scenario, we either go under or get back into the league, both options are better than this.

 

[chief]

A 3-0 repeat of last season would be nice!

Any Wrexham fans wanting a local pub, you're welcome in the Edinburgh Castle up the road.

Went to the rose. Few fleet fans in there, very welcoming, enjoyed my day before the game. Hope you go up through the play offs.

That is the Borehamwood Wood way. Honed over many years..

They've got to make them first.

Braintree have been relegated. They'll come straight back though, it's all they ever do.

I can't see it happening, they've been horribly run all season and are a shambles behind the scenes. If they actually had their better players signed up on contracts rather than operating like a bottom half Isthmian club and having everyone in on non-contract and then losing them on 7 day approaches they might have had a shot at staying up.

Orient were quite poor today I thought. We were the better side and would have won that if we had any firepower.

So the first half was up there with Bromley (A), Dover (H) and Barrow (H) in terms of worst performance of the season. Absolutely awful. Just aimless kicks forward, and 'Fleet looked like scoring every time they had a long throw, corner or just genuinely got forward.
3-0 at H/T and could so easily have been 5 or 6.

Triple sub at half time and then we bossed fair parts of the second half. A brilliant save from Ashmore saving a point blank header at 3-1, before he then nearly gifted us a goal to make it 3-3. They grab the fourth at the end on the counter.

Hughes is pissing me off with his constant changing of players and formations, obviously doesn't know his best team or trust many players, evidently rubbing off on them.

7 points clear of 8th with 5 games to go, despite our annual collapse well underway it'll take something special even by our standards for us to miss out on play-offs again. But I absolutely don't see anything other than finishing 5-7th and bombing out the first stage of the play offs.

 

[Ban Fat Stan]

Decent game Bees v orient, I think us Bees shaded it. Point gained for Orient. We had them on the rack but for poor finishing. Never really thought we would concede today. The Orient defence looked like strangers, both full backs full of mistakes and Couslon looked very nervy. I guess Orient have played a lot better.

Shows how much our squad has under performed.

Andre Boucard ran midfield until injury and Orient could not get control.

Roll on the summer and ditch a lot of our squad.

It's right easy this league once you get used to it #sheridansbarmyarmy

 

[The Terminator]

I'd have been happy with a point before hand, I was even more happier with a point after watching our game because in the first half we simply got away with one. Barnet should've been leading - Balls over the top and committing lots of men forward was causing us problems - Dean Brill dug us out of a huge hole, which he has done many times this season.

Second half both sides cancelled each other out, both sides picked up injuries as both sides have played alot of games in recent weeks and in the end both sides settled for the clean sheet.

We nearly got it at the end, but Josh Coulson was offside as he headed the ball in, if only he'd left it.............swings and roundabouts though, there was no way we was going to continue winning every game, or play as well as we did Tuesday night againsy Fylde.

More games coming for us quickly, we need to hope these injuries can clear up quickly.

 

[E10rifle]

We looked absolutely shattered. Edinburgh’s suicidal policy of playing the same XI game after game after game is finally coming home to roost. We’re going to collapse over the line if we get there.

 

[Razzmachaz]

Getting concerned that we are beginning to rely far too much on the same old names at the back to win us football matches. Our defenders have won us games both with their defensive abilities and also scoring a large percentage of our goals recently. We have 3 good forwards at the club but they need to find their scoring boots and fast. We seem to either be scoring from set pieces or the penalty spot and that won't last forever. Scoring from open play seems to have dried up a bit and we are not as fluid as we were earlier in the season.

Salford are going to run us very close I feel. The games in hand are crucial now but they are not easy matches.

 

[Mark kavanagh]

We've had 2 promotions in 41 years, we don't do 'going up'.

You are a league club..although you have no divine right you need some form of 3 year plan to sort it out...

 

[rudebwoyben]

On the one hand I absolutely do not want the Evil to go up and Orient winning the League would be a great story after the madness of Bechetti.
On the other hand it was great to have a game and occasion like today.

 

[Soup Ladle]

Predictable defeat at minging Eastleigh. Crap defending from corners for all the goals. Really missed Fraser Kerr as he puked up before the game. He must’ve just looked at the table and saw they had a chance to get in the play offs.

If they actually had their better players signed up on contracts rather than operating like a bottom half Isthmian club and having everyone in on non-contract and then losing them on 7 day approaches they might have had a shot at staying up.

Felt sorry for them, this is the downfall of teams in 6th and 7th being in playoffs. If one goes up as braintree did and dont have an investor they are clearly not good enough.... great achievement to win the play off from 6th but it's a flawed system

Went to the rose. Few fleet fans in there, very welcoming, enjoyed my day before the game. Hope you go up through the play offs.

Can't stand the place. Glad you enjoyed it though.

Didn't think the game was going to to ahead at one point. Whether we finish in the play offs or not, these players deserve the utmost respect. Superb spirit and performances being shown.

 

[Luke Imp]

Hartlepool have done well there to concede 3 set piece goals.
