Sadly Alan, it was 12 against 10 for most of the match - the Referee was totally inept and incapable of any consistency with very poor decisions and blatant ignorance of any wrong doings by our opponents.
The only way for example that they could silence the effervescent Danny Basset was to constantly kick him up in the air which the Ref just ignored all match !

Theire was no shame in the defeat today at Cheshunt, every member of the team today can feel proud with their contribution, especially our new young keeper Liam.
The home supporters behind me in the stand could not speak highly enough of him.
Until Darryl was sent off, rightly so in my opinion, you would not have felt their was much difference between both sets of players, in fact i felt we just shaded it and if the referee, and the linesman, who had a perfect view of the incident, had not bottled the decision regarding their keepers blatant handball outside of the box, I think within the first fifteen minutes, it would have been them down to ten men and hopefully with the resulting penalty, we should have been the first team to score.
As it happened if the footballing gods had been smiling down upon us we could have gone in at half time, two goals to the good.
But it was not to be our day despite our best effort in the second half, we could not stop them scoring and although we came back at them with determination they eventually, as our ten men tired, scored two more.
But I left the ground feeling this is a team that showed fight and determination and with a little luck on the day would have at least come away with a point.
Well done to you all.
As for Darryl, I feel he only knows one way to play, and that is with a fair amount of steel coupled with no small measure of talent, take that out of his game and he would be a lesser player for it.
Such a shame that it had such an adverse effect upon the team today.

You are not wrong DeePee, from the halfway line and in the same colour kit, and of a similar build, they both look alike with my old eyes.

Endo! do not think that after the red card we were thrashed, nothing could have been further from the truth, and it was not until very late in the game when they had bought on two substitutes that they initially scored.
No the team kept on fighting until the end.
What did frustrate me was prior to their first goal when we were still very much in it, we had Isiah sitting on the bench, the game was begging for a player like him with his pace, and no amount of skill, to come on and stretch their defenders and who knows had we scored first we might have seen a very different result.
But for reasons best known to Ashley, although he had him warming up, he stayed on the bench.
A trick missed methink`s.
In my opinion, as I have said before, until we address the issue with not finishing the chances we do create, our season is going to go this way.
Considering Cheshunt`s position in the table we were every bit their equal, but if we can not finish!

alanj - i think that's precisely the point endo' is making. On paper it does look like a thrashing. And that's the same principle from last season. i.e. if you were there it was a good story/fight until it wasn't! And on paper we were comfortably beaten. And at the end of the season we were down. Etc. 
You could argue that there were games last season that we were unlucky, but the league table at the end of the season still showed us as the one team relegated, so the stories of hard luck and misfortune don't live long in the memory. 
And that's precisely the point endo' is making. We can't have another season where we were nearly men in terms of the wonderful narratives we carved out in 'close games until it wasn't close' type stories. 
We need points on the board because before too long we'll either be wallowing in mid-low table unable of catching up to the play offs - or worse!

endo' - great post. Resonated with me. 

Can’t see that happening any time soon al it’s is exactly the same as last season as you say manager was out of his depth we are now in a lower league it’s the same I get the impression the coach this season hasn’t grasped the time when to use his subs shame we can’t get results like the under 23’s and that is exactly like last season
