COYW, I hope it's warmer over there than it is here, just below freezing at 7.30am Pacific time.

Are you kidding? Aren't there 4 officials at a game for just this reason?

So what happens if you can't get one, is the match postponed?

One goal down.... Still time to get back on terms..... COYW!

Guess the lads ran out of time.

The only positive is last time we were that bad we then went on a decent run.

Shocking

Someone better ring Carlisle and tell them to save money on the coach and just get someone to put eleven traffic cones out on the pitch instead.

The only one's who'll have any positives to take from today will be the players on the fringes who couldn't make the team today and will now know that if they train hard they'll have a very good chance of getting in the squad for Lincoln away, and if they play well there then maybe Carlisle.

There's a few in the squad today who I'll be very surprised if they make the squad for the Carlisle and have consequently thrown away the biggest opportunity of their career.

I'm not sure I'd question the training. I can't imagine the management turn up for three days without planning and training well. Problem is when too many players have an off day. Today I would question whether the system was wrong aswell. That said, classic new manager syndrome.

35k for what?

Lost me there!

Apparently the cost of having virtually no Saturday home games is £35k, which coincidentally is roughly the same amount the club have made from the FA Cup. Don't know how they've calculated the £35k considering we only had an attendance of 600 today.

Well.....unless I am being very dim then that money returns when we get the home games rolling in!

Albeit with a but less due to midweek games

If that is wrong how would we have survived at all if Grays would have won?

 My thoughts exactly. We may not have had many home weekend games prior to today But we have three weekend home games in December. Potentially four depending on the FA Trophy draw. January we've potentially got three Saturday games depending if we get to round two of FA trophy and what we draw, and then three Saturday games in February.

Swings and roundabouts.

So......what's everyones guess as to what is going on as I have no idea

Not good enough today. Us lining up playing with just one striker (who has one goal this season) against a team below us and who conceded 4 goals last week is madness. Porter was shouting for the ball in the channels so he could run onto it but didn't get it enough. Our whole game plan of hit and hope was figured out very early on by a team that wanted it a lot more.

Why is Vidal playing out wide? 20 goals for Dulwich last year playing behind the striker, 8 goals i believe this year and a player whose talents are wasted out wide.

Why was KSA removed from the subs bench just prior to the game starting? If it's because of the reason I was told by a club official today then it's the return of amateur hour.

Let's go out and try and win games for God sake. It seems to me when we try to move forward we never have any forward pass options. The number of passes that end up going back is ridiculous. We are losing against crap teams. Boredom wood, Guiseley and a Southport. How crap does that make us. I'm sorry Faz Matt and Paul but that today at home was rubbish. Heartless. Hardly two passes strung together. I've supported you all the way but that today needs sorting. Do it. Or leave it for someone else to do. I'm totally disheartened by that. We were crap.

absolute rubbish! sniffed it when I saw we were negative again by playing Porter on his own and the giving away of possession was criminal-please play with positivity next time it looked like they all had been on the lash-real rubbish and someone needs to sort it or we will be joining the South in no time!

 Nothing I heard there gave me any reason to feel optimistic. It seems the club will be using the FA Cup dosh to cover expenses. No need to strengthen the forward line with someone who can recognise a set of opposition goalposts then. 

Harsh to expect club to chuck money in because the budget has been used on players that are not up to it and are all on contracts. I would rather the club spent nothing until we know which way the season is going as then if someone has to get us out of the Jody stuff then at least there maybe some funds to help.

We have players on wages that cannot even get on the bench, dead money, the most feasible thing is to offload a few to free up the funds for something we have lacked since pre season, a striker who can be reasonably expected to get 10-15 goals.

One of the three Managers can oversee that. they can draw straws to see who has to get nasty and get people out of the door, saying that they would need the contacts to bring in a 15 goal a season striker who can play 4-5-1.

I fear another negative 4-5-1 in the next two games and 2 losses could be finito for the three amigos. We simply must go almost gung ho against Carlisle and make it uncomfortable and get the crowd going. Non league teams do not beat league teams by being solid, they beat them by asking questions and giving 110%.

How much longer are we going to insist on shoehorning the captain into the team at the cost of playing Vidal out of position? He's not up to National standard, I'm at the point where I applaud him every time he controls the ball and passes to a teammate because it happens so rarely. Yesterday, after he was subbed, Vidal moved central and played more decent passes in the next five minutes than Wellard played all game, also Vidal was more involved in the game than he'd been all afternoon on the right. Who to play on the right? Where's Nortei? On loan at VCD? This is the lad who didnt look out of place on our winning run, even though he was out of position.
