Definitely feels slumpish and jaded, though some good build up play was squandered numerous times at the final hurdle. Barely anyone questioned the game needing to be replayed Rene, and at the time we welcomed it thinking we could go back and get 3 points. Just unfortunate we’ve slipped back a little and Eastleigh have picked up.

Just back to the Watson debate, I’m afraid, the only reason this whole conversation about him, and Campbell before that, has become so tribal is due to unnecessary and unfair criticism that started before either kicked a ball in the league this year and has continued seemingly in order to prove the harshest critics right. Maybe if they stopped digging either out for any conceded goal that was hardly their fault we might move forward. But even last night they were at it again. Bru doesn’t exist in a vacuum I’m afraid. Just like any other news topic, it’s part of a social media world and occasionally comments and views from other corners will be thrown in to the pot here, whether some posters like it or not. my post about their keeper during the game last night isn’t due to obsession or agenda with keepers, it came from an observation whilst watching the game on stream and is exactly the sort of comment I would have made to a fellow supporter had I been at the game. Yes, it’s sad the harshest and over the top keeper critics have precipitated it, but an in game observation it was. Just to add, I have no beef with fair criticism of Watson or Campbell; neither are perfect by any means, and there are better keepers out there. It’s the unbalanced and frankly disrespectful comments about them that I and I’m sure plenty of other supporters have that’s the issue.
