Hornchurch has come – and gone.
We’ll keep ploughing the furrow.
Hartlepool seem to be as bad as us?
Surely we can cobble a win against these?
Heart: 2-1
Head: 1-1
Gut: 1-2I know it’s 3 bites of the same cherry… but owt could happen.
Both are having poor starts to the season.
It’s a game that looks as if it could go either way.September 20, 2026 at 9:41 am #328492Well they are managerless now so they will probably beat us, usually works out that way.

September 20, 2026 at 10:13 am #328496I wonder when the last time two managerless teams faced each other was?

September 20, 2026 at 10:40 am #328512Have you stolen Butler’s dice Cass?
September 20, 2026 at 11:26 am #328527No I broke the trend by picking a system and fitting into it players in their preferred positions who didn’t perform poorly yesterday, where possible.
Butterfield can be considered unlucky, he was pedestrian but, as somebody else said, he was waiting for something to happen in front of him. Much like the rest of us!September 20, 2026 at 11:31 am #328532Was Pat Jones missing yesterday?
September 20, 2026 at 11:32 am #328534Course he was pedestrian he was playing at the back, and could join the sidewards and backwards we’re so good at the stats will show that again. Passes hit passes made, pass pass pass except going forward at pace.

Yes. Don’t know if he’s injured or out of favour. We desperately needed a winger to make runs yesterday, even if it was the so called ‘Postman’. That worked out well didn’t it simon?

Rose wouldn’t play a role this early on. Only just come back from several injuries suffered in the past year. Rose is going to have to be drip fed back in to the side and slowly built up.
Jb for Barrows at RB and hopefully Howe will be back soon and he’ll be next to Ashbee. Evans looks terrible and Whitehall doesn’t look at all interested. I think his race may well be run in an iron shirt. I hope I’m wrong.

But not for Saturday. Also see ‘subject to fitness’.
September 20, 2026 at 2:38 pm #328570‘Whitehall doesn’t look at all interested’
Absolutely
September 20, 2026 at 2:47 pm #328572Certainly didn’t look interested with that shot on goal in the second half or the taking of the free kicks in dangerous positions we had, maybe Butterfield insisted that he took them while he just played the spare part.
I’m for letting him go I’ve said before just not valued by the fans. -
