FT: 2-2. Absolute Disgrace. FFS. Automatic promotion has ended today. Hardly an absolute disgrace. Our away form has been disappointig all season. |

he watched the game. he's allowed an opinion. n.b. I'm not suggesting people who didn't see it can't have an opinion. When have I said he isn't allowed an opinion? I just suggested calming down a bit. |

Didn't he cross for the second goal? Thought they said that on radio. Surely he has more creativity than Lockyer to start a game in midfield ? Right. Thought you were moaning at him. Misunderstood. |

Stewie said they had had people 'look at' Dartford. I guess the dossier went something like this.... Hayes is very dangerous from set pieces and has twice recently scored direct from corners I would suggest (a) not giving away corners if possible, (B) not giving away free kicks if possible, and (c) Not flipping around with our goalkeeper, who has done nothing wrong. I'm a BIG fan of DC but I am furious that we (presumably) did our homework and then ignored it. People may not like what I am about to write but a truly successful team would have cropped Hayes off the pitch. I'm not condoning that or even suggesting we should have done it but a ruthless team would have done that. 1 up at FGR. drew 1-1 2 up at Chester. Drew 2-2. 2-1 up at Shots. Drew 2-2. 1 up and 2-1 up at Dartford. Drew 2-2. It's a problem. Agree re tinkering. But... 1-0 down at Eastleigh drew 1-1. 1-0 down at Torquay drew 1-1 1-0 and 2-1 down at Gateshead won 3-2. Don't see your point. That's football. You will always pick up points from behind and lose them from being in front over a 46 game season! maybe you didn't spot that all my examples were away games. and 3 were against bottom half oppo. draws are fine in Lge 2 where 3 get auto promotion. Draws are not good enough in the Conf with 1 auto promotion. I was merely pointing out a problem that you might expect ANY coach / mgr / analyst would pick up on. |

Drew 2-2. 1 up and 2-1 up at Dartford. Drew 2-2. It's a problem.  Plus 1-0 vs Dover. That's 10 points dropped. You are aware that a game starts at 0-0. It's not as if they give us 3 points as soon as we take the league then deduct the points once we concede! A game is played over 90 minutes. That scenario has happened 5 times out of 33?and the opposite had also happened a similar number f times. |

the good news....
DC will HAVE to get a more creative central midfielder in now, even if it is just for a month.

We're still second in with a chance of promotion and in a better position most of us thought we would be 6 months ago. These draws won't take us up automatically granted but it will make us one hell of a difficult team to get pass in the play offs! |

Amazing interview with DC. Rarely heard a manager so openly angry.

I just suggested calming down a bit. what exactly does 'take a chill pill' mean then? is that not the definition of telling someone their opinion is wrong / not valid? and even worse someone who was at the match and (maybe) paid to watch it? |

Guys we know the pitch was a shocker, its not normally that bad in fact in all my years I've never seen it that bad. Apparently 10 games played on it in 21 days.
And remember the referee has to pass it fit.
Good luck with rest of season.

Dawson should have been on in place of Balanta who has been questionable. We lack the guile to open up and hurt these lowly part-time teams who generally seem fairly comfortable defending against us. Blisset has been disappointing of late and Harrison should have a run of starts.

His opinion is valid, even more valid than most because he was there. He is clearly angry and getting that worked up isn't healthy. That is all. |

Blisset can hardly be blamed when he has no one crossing the ball in. dawson shoudl have been playing from the start and clarke should have had the balls to drop taylor |

The free kick they scored from was for a handball that hit Parkes on the upper arm. Parkes was superb today so would be harsh to blame him.

He needs to work on his control and first touch. |
