Everitt on for Illic

0-1

0-1 Full Time

I also wasn't impressed with the, I assume Millwall fans, who caused trouble for the stewards after the guy invaded the pitch. Morons.

We played a 361 formation, or you could say 3421either way it didn't work, Dippo had no support up top. We also had a right footed player in Chiori Johnson at left wing back.  

As soon as Quinton addressed this by putting on Liburd we conceded yet another goal from a corner. 

We need a response on Tuesday as that was nt good enough. 

 

A shame about the clown running on the pitch as otherwise things seemed to run fairly smoothly around the ground.

Golden rule. Dont make a substitution when the opponents have a corner.

Watching ONLY on the stream it didnt seem too much social distancing was in evidence...

 I thought that too. Was watching it thinking I was glad that I didnt go. The fact that we were so sh**e added to the feeling.

Very poor performance today, we created very little all game and the few chances we could muster were all snatched at. Dartford fans have said that Liburd was one of Steve King's only poor signings last season and you can really see why, I'm not too sure what Brad sees in him. Yet another goal conceded from a set piece which is concerning, this has been a big problem all season and yet nothing seems to be done to remedy it. As has already been said, Dipo was isolated all game today and hardly got a sniff. I do like the look of Shokunbi and Ilic who both played quite well in the first half when we put together a couple of good passing moves.

Managers often say "judge me after 10 games", we are one away from that and only off bottom on goal difference. Whilst I am absolutely not calling for Brad to go and am well aware that money is very tight this year, we really need to see a dramatic improvement over the next few games or I would imagine there will be a few questions asked about his position.

Also, whilst I do appreciate the massive amounts of work put in by very hard working volunteers, it has to be said that the general social distancing today wasn't great. It is one thing having 400 odd fans distanced around PVR it is a different kettle of fish when they are all crammed up one end all game. I'd hate to think that anyone would get sick as a result of watching the football.

The less said about the idiots at the end of the game the better...

Turn it in FFS. You never went so dont beat yourself up over it.
As mentioned previously, if you was that concerned, there were plenty of locations you could have been away from others.

Everyone had their temperature taken on the way into the ground. Didnt they! Didnt they! We were all out in the open fexing air. We werent crammed together in a fexing broom cupboard. Social distancing. Please man up and grow a pair. Stop moan moan moaning. Im a man who acts like a man. Get on with life you woke wimps.

The Police didn't seem to have any issues with the social distancing when they walked past the terraces in the First Half. I'm sure they would have informed the stewards if there was a problem.

My comment ref distancing was based around the clubs guidelines published online......maintain social distancing at all times......I just dont want the club to have any issues as we go forward

Comments like 'grow a pair' when many are dieing or hospitalised are a tad disturbing especially when the local area is one of the highest rates in the country now....Maybe following the laws/rules would help....however some dont care and I guess you cannot account for those that find it acceptable to ignore the rules and indeed find then funny

Next season?

Are you not going again or is the season ended

Thought we played some good football for the first half hour then it was downhill from then on. Two golden opportunities to score which were spurned, if you dont put such opportunities away then you are going nowhere. With all the players we seemingly have it was a very weak bench, which added nothing when changes were made. I admit I was a little puzzled over the formation and tactics in the second half and to be honest in the end we were lucky to get away with a 1-0 defeat. We probably missed Nathan Green and Cookie was way off form, we are not taking enough points from sides the likes of which we have played recently, need a big reaction on Tuesday night.
Looked like a decent crowd, missed an opportunity to keep them coming back.

BQ and the 23 backroom staff will be gone by Xmas. Said it two months back. Performances abysmall - FA Cup the clearest sign of derailment.
Since then the team has been rejigged, and still the same poor results, joint bottom. One thing hasn't changed (not calling for it, sure we could limp to survival this year), just saying, football is a results game and change envitable. I reckon before Xmas.

SECOND BOTTOM! Bring back Goldberg, he would have us a respectable 5th bottom

I can see MG back as manager, even if hes not in same position financially as he was i'm sure he could find a few quid to bring in a decent striker at least. AFAIAA, Hes still the owner and can make decisions or take over again if he wishes.

Off the field it looks like we are doing an ok job with Covid stuff, We arent like Sutton United who have 100 volunteers in blazers to oversee everything, we have a small number of people working hard to enable the club to operate and host matches. They look to have tried to put in a system where people can socially distance, If people arent then have the stewards kick them out and ban them from the ground, If we have a Covid policy then carry it out.

So how many interviews has he done after losses after the match at the ground?

I would say he set a precedent when we lost in the FA Cup to a step 5 team. I cant remember many managers over the years refusing or not being available for interview after a defeat. Especially such an abysmal performance in the FA Cup.

It doesn't look good but as i said before when Brad refused to give interviews several times after a piss poor performance it didn't look good.

 Away to Sheppey and at home to Chelmsford are the only occasions and he probably would have done the latter if I'd waited another half an hour but I had to get home. I wouldn't call that several.

 In fairness the same testimony gets recycled anyway....dissapointed, tough words, we will put it right etc etc
