Perhaps taking a bigger interest than I should, I looked at Wealdstone fans forum.
Not only are their supporters claiming a penalty they are also claiming that Will Evans stamped on their injured player whilst he was on the floor.
Also claiming a handball leading up to Alfie’s goal.
Incredible eyesight from the other end of the stadium by their supporters, even better than the referee who was yards away.
If Andy Butlers account of events in his interview are true and I have absolutely no doubt they are then we will be awarded the three points without the need for a replay and Wealdstone should not only receive a large fine and point’s deduction, hopefully enough to send them to the bottom of the league.
Tinpot club with a clown for a manager.

Agreed.
We should unquestionably receive 3 points. They should be ‘reprimanded’ with a 3 points deduction and a fine.
A points deduction is required to set a red line – engage in this type of malarkey at your peril.

They could have played out the remaining time in the hope of grabbing a point – there’s no way in the multiverse that they should be given a 2nd chance!

Let’s see some action NL!

[Rene Artois]

Act 1, Scene 1 has been a complete nightmare in terms of injuries, illness & suspensions – I’d guess everyone would agree that this ‘tournament’ is now completely unwanted?

[Rene Artois]

Scales needed to split himself in two for their goal – why didn’t anyone help him out with their overlap?
He’d no chance to close down the distance and prevent their overlapping player from crossing.

Denton was out jumped by his guy – though he doesn’t seem to gain much height when he (Denton) jumps.

Our back four are struggling with simple balls in to the box. Happening every game.

[Rene Artois]

Wealdstone = profoundly embarrassing chicanery!

Man up!

[Rene Artois]

Interesting position if the ref didn’t make the decision… walkover?

[Rene Artois]

Oh dear… not again!

[Rene Artois]

The Guv’nor hopefully sends us in leading 2-1 at HT.

Bravo Mr B!
1-1
Game on!
Here we go!

[Rene Artois]

Didn’t get a keeper in then?
I’ve not had a chance to have a read.

We made one mistake like at Brackley and got punished Rene

It’s happening every game, more or less.

Campbell was initially the scapegoat – but, I think all have now seen and realised that it’s those in front of him (& Watson) who are the culprits.

If they (AB & JS) don’t sort it, we’ll be shipping at least a goal a game.

We could be in trouble against the better teams.

Can we win games 3-2; 4-3; maybe even 5-4 if the shoddy defending persists?
It’s gunna be tough.

[Rene Artois]

Poor defending again for their equaliser.

No challenge on the crosser.
Backing off, backing off.
Easy cross.
Beaten easily at the back post.
Our lad in middle stopped as if he thought the ball had gone out of play.
He’s then out of the game, (having to restart his engine) which gives their boy the opportunity for an easy goal.
Another of their players unmarked & untracked following up and entering the 6 yard area.

Shabby defending again.

[Rene Artois]

They’ve only played two games away, both ending with a 2-1 scoreline – one in favour of and one against.
P2 W1 L1 F3 A3 Gd0

Even with our injuries, sickness & suspensions, I’m going:

Iron 3-1 Stones

Goals: W’hall, CR10, Howitzer

[Rene Artois]

Have the wheels come off?

The first time I’ve seen this:

Nightmare. Best wishes to both players and hopefully they recover swiftly. Fingers crossed for both of them. Seems a very serious medical incident.

I guess a point down there ain’t too bad at the end of the day?

[Rene Artois]

Shit…

[Rene Artois]

Boom!

Eastleigh 0–1 Iron

Hopefully we hold on or extend.

[Rene Artois]

Watson to start.
Oh dear. Think we will struggle tonight.
I can see midfield getting over run and the Spitfires targeting Jean Belehouan.

Revised again: Eastleigh 2-1 Iron
Sad to type that.

[Rene Artois]

Looking forward to seeing the starting X1

A hell of a camel ride to play Jekyll & Hyde FC.

7 points from 9, without conceding a goal at home.

0pts from 9 away; scored 1, conceded 9

Their average home attendance is 1,010

We’re always likely to score but also concede one – so, I’m going 1-1

I wonder what price a red card is for any one of our players? A hat trick we want to avoid.

Too many brandys Mr Artois – those stats belong to Braintree!

2,193 is Eastleigh average attendance.
W2 L1 at home F4 A3 +1
W1 L2 at away F3 A4 -1

W3 L3 F7 A7 Gd0

Eastleigh 0-2 Gateshead

They don’t look very fit in that clip, a lot of jog, jog, jog.
I’ve seen statues move faster than their CBs. In the clips I’ve seen, the LB looks to be the area to exploit.

If we’ve a full strengthish team out, then I think we’ll have too much for them.
Hopefully the trip hasn’t taken too much out of the boys and we can get at them at a high intensity.
They do have a long throw.
If we do go down to ten – please keep one up top.

Revised: Eastleigh 1-2 Iron

Belehouan – Rene’s new Beck.

Guilty.
I’d seen enough in the pre-season clips to make my mind up.
Happy birthday to him today by the way.
However, he’s 25 and the die has cast & set – he’ll not iron out his ‘defects’
Sorry. I won’t criticise him negatively again… I’ve put my tuppenny ha’penny’s worth in. Nuff said.

It appears the top clubs pay between £2,000 to £3,000 a week.

[Rene Artois]

Let’s get him in then ;-)

I wonder what the top team in the Armenian Premier League are paying him a week?

[Rene Artois]

Poor defending again.
Belehouan can’t jump.
Belehouan can’t defend (evidenced in previous games)
Waldron powered his way to the header and smashed it in. Who was marking & tracking him?
We need to improve massively at the back.
The more we see – the more transparent it becomes that Campbell is not the problem.

[Rene Artois]

When down to 10; I’d go:

In possession 2-4-3
Out possession 4-4-1

[Rene Artois]

It’s a sad day when your favourite player moves on.
Javi Moreno, age 28, now plying his trade in the Armenian Premier League.
He’s a CR10 type player – and has scored some worldies.

Spanish rules (at our level) dictate that a club can only have 18 senior players on their books.
The signing of a couple of La Liaga players with 100 plus games each means that Javi has been squeezed out.

I suppose the squad is being ‘upgraded’ in an attempt to gain promotion to La Liga 2 (formerly known as Secunda division).

He’s played four times for his new club scoring once.

He doesn’t look very happy playing for his new club. His smile is most certainly missing.

A sad(?) Javi Moreno scoring for his new club.

Well missed. Great player.

I believe his agents are AS1 Sports in London.

Scunny may be too cold for him… lol
