I feel confident we'll win, which knowing Pools means we'll probably lose.

Despite winning 4 outta the last 5 I feel like we're a striker short of being a decent side, Cassidy is out for months, Oates is a proper grafter but just doesn't look like a goal threat, Simpson is just a kid and Rodney is, well Rodney.


Win this and we should be back on track.

Not to wank meself off like but fucking boom.

Two loanee centre backs both missing today = Pools defeat, we've had nothing upfront for weeks now and it desperately showed today, CH needs to get a striker in before Saturday cos at the minute we are relying on kids learning the game as they play, both of them had glorious chances 1 on 1 with the keeper that they missed which an experienced striker would've ate up.

Poor performance, perhaps a big fucking drag back down to Earth for us all after the last few weeks.

Great start for us with Bignot, he's even getting Lathaniel Rowe-Turner playing like Roberto Carlos.

Tranmere HAHAHA.

Absolutely phenomenal win for us.

The worst thing about it is that your keeper barely made a single save.

I'm done after this season. Sick of paying every week to see 20 minutes of football (if you can call it that) and 70 minutes of timewasting. It's our own fault, we're completely incapable of scoring and the opposition game plan of sit back, time waste then hit us on the break works every time.

I'll definitely take a point at home against Dover at this stage, I think they've taken three points everytime at our place in the past. Disappointed not to have won on this occasion though, we created the chances and failed to take them. Dover resorted to shooting from distance second half which gave our keeper an easy afternoon. I wish Cox would play Mulhearn instead of Correia, that lad can finish.

Fucking tripe. 2-0 up and coasting against a very poor Orient after 40 minutes, and we gift them a lifeline by not defending a simple set piece. They have something, start the second half well and after that if there was going to be a winner it would only be one team as we went from sublime to clueless. Orient fans will want to know why their team and manager have to be 2 down before they start trying to play football, before that they were so negative, looking not to concede a third rather than get back into it.

Fantastic result especially being down to 10 men for 77 mins. Red passion has gone from wanting keates out to him being the Messiah in 7 days. Wedgebury however is not the Messiah he's just a very naughty boy.

In truth though the same posters who aren't convinced with Keates (nothing up front negative tactics) remain unconvinced. Those posters who support him (well organised great defence good team spirit) supported him last week and are having their chance to rub it in a bit.

Personally I like him. But I'm not going to get carried away. And we need to sort out our attack.

Another 'look at me referee'
Another attacking masterclass from Matty Kosylo
Another 3 points for 'the worst team we have played this season'.

Bromley very poor.

10 men for 80 minutes, come on you should have won comfortably.

I know, that's why it's bloody awful. 80 minutes against 10 men and only forced your keeper to make one save. Wrexham played the perfect 10 man game but we made it easy for them.

Loving the new post-match ritual- Billy Heath conducting the fans in "HEATH OUT, HEATH OUT, HEATH OUT". Can't help wonder what he's thinking while he's doing that. Probably this: :fing:

You're doing well, better than I thought.

Quite content with ourselves though now after today, thanks for the interest.

Massively disappointing result for us today against another tinpot outfit and shows we're a bit short in certain areas.

Can we sign Cook off Tranmere? Unlikely, but he'd be the answer.

You lot were by far the best side I've seen this season, for 40mins you passed the ball well on the floor and when you went long/direct as well. You pressed high up the pitch and were very aggressive in winning the ball back quickly, we were fucking shit. Our pressing game which Davis deploayed, was fucking shit with no purpose to it. The complete opposite to yours which was effective, with every player pushing high up the pitch and hungry to win the ball back quickly.

The goal we got wasn't deserved and gave us a lifeline, it could've even been 2-2 if not for a fantastic Jake Cole double save.

Second we went for it for about the first 20mins, but ran out of ideas, if you score that header you'd have got a deserved 3-1 win.

Your only undoing was that you tired in the second half, which wasn't a suprise after the pressing game you did on us first half. We had a little a bit of quality to come off the bench in Rommy Boco who took his goal well. Amazed Waddock took Off Oyeleke, he was by far the best player on the pitch and ran the game. We even nearly won it at the end, which would've been completely undeserved. In truth it was a good game to watch and a good advert for this league.

We are great for a neutral to watch, quite good with the ball and create chances, but absolutely clueless without it. We will not get anywhere with Steve Davis in charge, he clearly has no idea, but thats the hand we've been dealt.

Our bigshot game with Tranmere on BT Sport in ten days isn't living up to its hype, the two of the leagues biggest clubs on paper contesting a below midtable game with both managers under fire!

Manny has had a hamstring injury and was feeling it after being a bit short of minutes. He came off as a precaution, we can't afford to lose him again. Agree him coming off probably cost us the win as he was the only creative outlet we have at the moment.

Absolutely robbed a very good Solihull of two points from a corner that drifted in on the 94th min
I'm still gutted about that goal. That's the best I've seen us play this season. Richard Brodie made a big difference for us up front today, as a big player to hold up the play is what we have been lacking.
I did think you looked poor today though. Is it just Cheek that you are missing?

I know Tranmere are having a bad season but didn't expect fans deserting in their droves this much:

My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord
He plays for Woking FC and his name is Joey Ward
Defenders they all hate him for the goals he love to score
AND THE CARDS GO MARCHING OOOOONNNNN


We're one point off top.

I don't think the guy in the blue jacket likes your dog Steve, he's got steam coming out of his nose.
To be fair the guy next to him is thinking 'FFS Brian we're on camera, put your fucking glasses on properly'
