Hugely disappointing afternoon for an excellent 384 turnout down in Hampshire.
First and foremost, we lack energy. So often in games prior to Xmas we could win a ball back high up the pitch and put pressure on sides through sheer tenacity. That has gone missing all 3 midfielders look jaded- especially Ewing.
It was hinted by Evans’ pre match interview that the back line are carrying injuries and it shows, Evans in particular the last couple of weeks can barely move around the pitch which was exploited in full by the Aldershot attack.
Roberts is pretty much carrying the torch on his own at the minute, if he isn’t on song then the rest of the side look toothless. Whatever has happened between Howe and Butler needs patching up and Dec back in the squad. I don’t think he’s the answer to our problems but I’ve seen nothing from Incoming signings to suggest they’re any better. Additionally, I’d be tempted to get Brogan back and freshen things up in midfield with Beestin.
Seen a lot of hysteria online the last week; at a push I’d look at getting some defensive cover in until JB is fit, however, the answer in a bad run of form can’t always be to demand signings. We don’t have the budget and mid season signings working out are usually the exemption and not the rule.
I don’t think going 5-3-2 on Tuesday will do us any harm, more often than not this year we’ve looked good when playing the better sides with the formation and Christ knows we need the bodies back there. I’d also be tempted to give Ewing a rest and start with Beestin in the middle, certainly won’t do him any harm.
Even if we take abit of a battering again on Tuesday I hope the supporters stick with butler and the team. For me they’ve all earned enough credit in the bank this year to keep supporters on side after a bad run of 4 games.

If spent convictions for the exact type of offence the test is meant exclude are allowed then surely that only again reinforces what a complete farce it is.

The Keir Starmer chant is pretty widespread now; Sky have had to go silent when it’s sung at the darts.
Must admit it was disheartening hearing it at a Scunny game, along with the pro- farage chants. The Tommy Robinson chant was sung by 20-30 young lads behind us, there was an angry response from half a dozen or so Scunny fans and it quickly stopped. I asked a young lad behind us why he was singing it and he didn’t have a clue, seemed embarrassed when confronted about it.
sad state of affairs and hopefully that shite can be self policed.
So, because YOU and the clown who was so upset by it that he felt the need to start threads on the subject insist it should be banned and no doubt think people who feel the need to chant should be silenced by the likes of you pair.
You do realise that is why the chants are sung, because of people like YOU!It was sung by young lads who didn’t have a clue what they were on about, I don’t want to hear any political shite at a Scunny game regardless of the politics involved. Also, where have I called for it to be banned? I’d prefer stuff like that to be policed on the terraces as it seemed to be at Hartlepool.
Also if you do want to sing it, don’t YOU be upset if people are then going to be confronted.

Hell of a lot has changed, even in the short time we’ve been absent.
Even in this league we are up against a side with a £4/5million budget with some players on 7k per week, allegedly.

Top bloke John Needham, a big loss to the Trust

Don’t think a postponement will do us any harm, especially after the exertion at blackoool and still carrying a few knocks.
Be good to see a few more hundred decide to go, think the the amount sold was 550 earlier

Hopefully Mchardy can live up to the hype following the York game, do feel we’re asking a lot from a young lad.
Agree with the sentiment above, by no means is Rory the finished article but I actually don’t think he had a bad run of game here- certainly nowhere near as poor as some made out in a desperate attempt to be proven right.

Competition got the attendance it deserved, tone deaf by the club to enter it.
Hopefully we withdraw next year or they decide to kick the U21’s out

A disappointing draw against a poor Eastleigh side. Game should’ve been put to bed long before their equaliser.
I actually feel like we’re in abit of a slump at the minute since the hard run of games against Carlisle/York etc, we definitely seem a yard or two slower around the pitch. However, contrary to last season where we imploded, we are still picking up results.

Matt tried to emphasise his argument by suggesting he was talking objectively when discussing the keepers, my counter argument would be objectively we are weaker defending crosses in full back positions than anywhere else as again proven tonight.
Tonight was always going to be a tricky game, subconsciously we were never going to be at the levels when competing against the likes Carlisle/York.
A good 3 points to bounce back with and 3 excellent finishes

Agreed, couldn’t have asked for much more than we got today. Fine margin game and the red card for us was stupidity- 3 reds in 11 games is a problem that needs addressing.
Couldn’t have asked for 2 better games than Morecambe/KL to get back on the horse and put another run together. Another test for Butler and the team to see how they respond

Last couple of years have been dreadful away, majority of the time no roof and spread around the ground.
No idea why but last night everyone was up for it, felt more like a cup tie than a standard league game. Must’ve given the players an extra 5%.
