  • Just got back……

    And that was disappointing.

    Aside from a 10 minute spell in the second half culminating in Harris hitting the post, there was little today to commend (and I’m being charitable)

    Again, 2 really poor goals to concede defensively against a very workmanlike side, is not encouraging.

    No one really merited a mention. The second half was slightly better and we pressed a bit more but again didn’t create much.

    The abuse of Romeo from the home crowd was really poor and it clearly got to him with him making 2 pretty bad challenges.

    Harris in fairness did make a difference. His direct running was a big upgrade on Philogene who just kept losing the ball.

    Robinson looked lively when he came on and Whyte drew a couple of foul resulting in potentially dangerous free kicks.

    Talking of which……do we just not practice corners and free kicks into the box? We never look even remotely like scoring from them any more :-/

    Another game that we should have got something from but didn’t deserve to in the end. :-(

    Watched a stream of it and can't disagree too much. It's worrying when Harris starts to look like the best forward on the pitch though.

      The most worrying thing is the set pieces for me. Even when we were misfiring we always counted on those goals.

      When we have a corner nowadays I berate the “ooo it’s a corner chant” as it’s one of the worst ever, and then switch off. I just know we’re not going to score.

        Yeah, and I have been one of his biggest critics as well….. :-o

                    "Against the best in the league at set-plays, it's always going to be a tough ask and we dealt with it, on the whole, pretty well.

                    "They scored the goal and changed the course of the game, and it was tough for us to come back."

                    Do you think that part of the problem might be that he is watching a different match?

                      sounds like a bunch of excuses from a manager devoid of ideas on how to change the direction of a game

                      long season ahead

                        I genuinely think we will be relegated this season.

                        The op was disappointed when we were in the play off positions

                        Harris Out has gone well..

                          Yep I love the Wall fans they really can get under the players skin, I remember them winding Andrew Taylor up back in the Malky era until he made a mistake and they got in behind to score. Taylor you’re a Cnut Taylor Taylor you’re a Cnut.

                              Speaking of Harris, his Gillingham side have now gone seven games without scoring a goal.
