Certainly well wert a point, but why leave it so late to bring Jebb on, surely hes fit enough for 30 minutes, not just the final 10.
But an encouraging performance against the top side.
And why take MOT Widdrington off. He looked most likely to score. Very good debut from the fella.

Having said that we were much the better team 1st half . 2nd half was even for 20 minutes then they put the pressure on. In the end their 1st goal was typical of us,a header that bobbled across the line. Their 2nd goal was a beauty. Bish bash bosh GOAL. We got back with the Pen but the chance at the end one on one with the keeper you'd just had to hope. To be fair to our player their keeper was great all game. Very encouraged today but that attitude should continued into next week and much further behond that.
Do not post on here often but cannot understand why our most creative player Jebb who is apparently fit is not starting. Am beginning to wonder why I renewed my season ticket having followed the team high and low for approaching 40 years.
I have not left PVR in a long time feeling so disappointed, maybe because it was within our grasp to get at least a point. Widderington had an excellent debut but we seem to overlook what Montel gave to the side, IMO he was the man of the match but I recognise such things are entirely subjective. Jay is my favourite player this season and he has a huge future ahead of him, however, that is not as a full back where he is currently helping the side by playing out of position. A more experienced full back would have seen the situations out that led to their two goals. They are top of the league but we made them look nothing special and with a little more luck at the death we could have got what we deserved, but all strikers miss one on ones from time to time. Overall, only one point from twelve but if we continue to play like today we shall not come to too much harm, hopefully starting with the Cup on Saturday.

Because he isn't fit! He has had lots of niggles and knocks since he started training after his knee injury. From what I was told at Concord he has completed very few training sessions in the last few months. The club would love him to be fully fit and playing 90 mins every week, but at the moment he cannot.

So is this the ideal time to put him out on loan to get some minutes under his belt and then bring him back when he is fit?

The club thought that was a bad idea as any other side would try and make him play 90 minutes every week which could lead to more injuries.

Absolutely baffling substitutions for me again yesterday - how he thinks McCallum and Widdrington were the two players who deserved to be hooked is beyond me. Neither were showing any signs of tiredness or injury, and Widdrington was controlling the whole game from midfield. The one upside from yesterday is that we've got a fantastic player on our hands for a couple of months or so.
Cook and Coombes were woeful yesterday. I like Coombesy but is he luxury we can afford in a team like this that will need to scrap it out and scrape every point?
Gutted we lost yesterday as we looked the better team. Thought we looked a bit vulnerable on the right and missed Sanchez who might have prevented the second goal. Theo looked very good and at 2-0 down I suppose MG was trying not to run him into the ground, personally I would have kept him on considering we have a free week until the cup next Saturday where he could do a job first half then get rested. Much better than Eastbourne and Weymouth so hopefully that will continue.
Very disappointed with that result (if not the performance on Saturday) I was expecting much better from Wealdstone but perhaps that is a reflection on us that we controlled the game for large parts and didn't allow them many opportunities. We were clearly the better side first half although didn't make the most of the numerous set pieces we had. And whilst we are on that subject, why oh why or why (when he is on the field) does Jebb, aside from penalties, not take every single set piece we have in the attacking area of the field..?? He should be told by the management team that he is responsible for every set play in the attacking area of the pitch and he seemed almost reluctant to jog over and take corners. He took one last week at Weymouth after the came on and we almost scored form it! It is a huge source of goals at all levels of football and when you have arguably one of the the best at this level of the game on the pitch it is sheer madness not to use him?!
Second half was more even and we seemed to sit back a little which may have been down to it being another warm day and/or Wealdstone had more possession and were more in the game. The young lad Widdrington did very well (as did Montel alongside him) on debut and had his shot gone in at 0-0 then it may have been a very different outcome. I know there were a lot of moans and groans when he was subbed but he has played precious little men's football in the last few weeks and we don't need to flog him too hard and risk potential injury. As the manager alluded to in his interview the major disappointment was losing the first goal so cheaply. We have a huge defence and yet we let an average height midfielder stroll in at the far post and help himself to a free header (lest we forget the Sunday morning goal we almost conceded in the first few minutes but luckily Lafayette took pity on us with that one...) A few heads dropped for me after that and whilst the second goal was maybe avoidable I have to admit it was a nice move and finish by them. Credit to our lads for keeping going after that and we really should have got a more than deserved point at the end when Cosgrave has to bury that chance.
If we keep up that level of performance and be more clinical at both ends of the pitch than we can still have a decent season. I am firmly of the opinion that with the personnel we have that we should be looking at playing a different formation other than the tired and trusted 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 as it may be at times. However, whatever formation we choose to play, there has to be better organisation amongst the team and it doesn't allow for players to wander all over the field and leave their position unattended. When we lose the ball the shape of the team is all over the place and certain players need to be far more disciplined on the pitch at times.
Hopefully we can get a good result in the Cup next week and take that into the Hungerford game the week after.
I was at the game on saturday and I can tell you all that if Goldberg is playing up front no goals will be scored He spent his time on saturday going back to collect passes that he had to quickly pass back and then simply stood watching -No effort to move in to the box
Mc Callum was the only winger that knew what he was doing as Coombes took to long to cross and mostly had to pass back. Why can they not move the ball faster Coombes needs two touches before he figures out what to do and then the momnet is gone.
The game changed with the subs especially when Goldberg went off. His replacement posed a threat from the get-go and played on the defenders shoulder and perhaps if he had started or had been put on sooner he would have took his chance. Poor decision making from your NO7 and No.9 was how wealdstone were allowed to win it.

Easy target, but if Coombes is not on his game what else can Goldberg do ?
And of course he is going to play, his dad is owner, chairman, manager.....
