    19% possession is probably being kind, can’t get near them.

    Changes needed, midfield is terrible and lopsided. Our two best footballers in Rowley and Butterfield on the bench with Gale and Richards chasing shadows. Hard to watch so far.

    So now we’ve gone 3-5-2 with Ogle (not a wingback) and Pat Jones (not a wingback) as our wingbacks. Butlerball at it’s best.

    According to RH they could not understand why Southend did not score three or four although Lewis Jones was our man of the match

    That was bad, like, really bad. Could have easily been 5/6 nil. 0 shots in the 2nd half when you’re supposed to be chasing the game…awful.

    It’s been a while since we had a season of mid table mediocrity.

    Just when we had 15 minutes of holding our own in the game poor man’s Pep comes up with a master plan.

    If you’re going to park the bus why pick an attacking line up?

    We have 1 defensive midfielder so obviously we don’t need him. We have 1 wide forward with defensive discipline so don’t even put him on the bench.

    Rowley and Smith in case you’re wondering.

    One of the biggest 1-0 hammerings we’ve had in a while. They’re a very good side with a very good manager though (says Butler,PD and nobody else).

    Poor goal to concede, totally avoidable. So we could have come away with a draw which we certainly didn’t deserve.

    Team looked unbalanced. Pat Jones playing far too deep. Sloppy play from both fullbacks. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Barrows and Denton back against Eastleigh.

    Pressure on Bultler if we don’t get three points next Saturday.

    Sarfend have noticeably improved last season’s side.
    The Iron have not – and this is compounded because AB hasn’t a clue what his best side is. (I am not blaming him for that – I have watched the Iron over 60 years and I’m far from sure.)
    GK needs several kicks up rear even though he helped in preventing a massacre.
    CBs great.
    Working to a plan? – Not much of a plan.

    Rene is a realist. Two games in and we are struggling to create chances. That needs fixing first or mid table mediocraty will be a good season. Ourselves and Carlisle are the early doors fall guys, whilst Hornchurch and Sutton are the surprise packages! Eastleigh will be interesting, lose there and we will be struggling. Difficult to see us beating Harrogate or Borehamwood at home.

    Reality will bite this season, will be an abject season and a long one at that.

    Apparently from WG’s statement to me the league is not as good as last season. B’s it’s equally if not harder and will never be easy as there will be always a few teams spending to get out.
    That appears on last season the only way out.

    Unfortunately we don’t have the ammunition to do such things.

    Early doors but to start on the back foot ain’t great.And abject performances won’t help.
    I’d say give it 5-6 games more and we are mid to lower table gates will fall.

    Don’t get this manager doesn’t know his best 11.

    A very good turn out from your fans, but it ended there. Once we scored there was only one team in it and a higher score line would not have flattered us. I really was expecting more of a challenge.

    What did we learn about Parker?
    eg) Is he better than Smith?

    I think we will have to give him the ball before we learn if he can do anything with it Les.

    Not a lot but why would you compare him (a striker) to Smith (a midfielder/winger)?

    Some things I have learned over the past two games…Richard’s ain’t a patch on Westbrooke and must have something on Butler to start ahead of Rowley, Pat Jones is quick but has almost zero technical ability, James Gale is not a number 10.

    Big improvement needed at Eastleigh.

    Good thinking he could be our biggest transfer fee in years
