Say a prayer for Sevenoaks!!

From kentishfootball.co.uk:


 


Sevenoaks' performance was so shocking their players won't get paid on Saturday.

And when their goalkeeper - Craig Clark - is their top scorer with three goals, it's easy to tell where their problems lie.

But John Adams, their assistant manager, who has managed the Dockers, admitted his side are just not good enough.

"Very disappointing because we felt Erith would be the whipping boys but it looks like we're the whipping boys," he said after the debacle.

"Erith are my old club and you always want to get one over them but be fair they came here tonight and they wanted it more than us.

"We probably played five minutes football in the first half and ten minutes in the second, so over the 90 we've played 15 minutes of football - which ain't good enough - and we've told the players that!

"They are not good enough and we are having them in for training Thursday and we have to work on the basics.  We just have to work on passing and control because they can't do it at the moment."

You had to feel sorry for the 71 fans that actually paid to watch this rubbish - as players failed to string three passes together and all it was for the majority of the game was lump if forward and hope.  Kent League football?  More like Dog and Duck Sunday League pub football!

"As coaches you've got to hold your hands up and you've got to say it was painful," Adams admitted.

"We don't coach them to play like that.  We are not playing as a team.

"Erith are on no money, we've got to get players who can do a simple job it's as simple as that.  You must have players that can keep the ball. We can't keep it long enough."

Adams hinted some of their reserve team players - who played for Welling United last season before the Nationwide Conference South outfit disbanded their second string - could take to the field at Park View Road on Saturday, when Sevenoaks travel to Erith & Belvedere.

"We've got a lot of good youngsters in the reserves and it's down to Gary (Davies), Brian (Meaney) and myself to decide if we play them this week or next.

"But I've been here (in this situation) before and we have to stick together, work harder and our luck will turn.

"Every team in this Kent League will have a bad run - well Beckenham won't - we are having ours too soon."

And if Sevenoaks don't respond against the Deres', Adams added: "That will be the final nail in the coffin.

"I don't think we are good enough, whether the reserve team players are good enough to come in against Erith & Belvedere, we'll have to see."







 


Shit, it looks like Erith&B&Q will win a game. After the arsey little pro Sevenoaks messages, could be interesting.
