if you look at the rest of the results today, it just goes to show how inconsistent the teams in this division are.
No one is invincible.
So why should we break the mould?

99 times out of 100 we'd have won that game comfortably. Unfortunately yesterday was the 1 in 100 that we didn't. Their goal led a charmed life, their goalie had the game of his life and they then had the audacity to perform a smash and grab raid to STEAL all 3 points. Incredible. I've never been to game in my life with 2 goalmouth scrambles like the ones in the second half where the ball miraculously stayed out. Jammy bar stewards.

I've called the Police to report a daylight bl**dy robbery - but I doubt they'll take any action !
Never left the ground feeling so 'kin pi$$ed off by a result.
Apparently the "Chuckle Brothers" (or at least the more obnoxious one of them) were in the stands yesterday spying for our encounter with them next week. Probably sussing out Frank to see whether he'd be able to withstand an elbowing, an uppercut or just a straight left on the touch line next Saturday (as they dished out to Craig up at the farmers fields the other week)

If this was a one off I could accept it, but this season we have lost too many games where we have been the better team. Yesterday you had the feeling it wasn,t going to be our day in front of goal, so I had prepared myself mentally for a nil nil, but to actually lose the game in the 94th minute was hard to take.
I don't,t know what the answer is, taking our chances would be a start but good strikers don't, grow on trees at this level. Jake is close to being a very good player but he,s not quite there yet and he can,t do it on his own. Defensively we looked pretty solid but it wash,t much of a test for them as Sittingbourne showed so little going forward.
Serge doesn't,t seem to be doing enough to justify his starting spot and keeping him on and subbing two of our better performers in Robinson and Price seems strange to me. I'm confident we can turn this around, we play really good stuff at times and if somehow we can stop shooting ourselves in the foot we can still end the season on a positive note.

Price looked less than pleased to be subbed.Don't blame him when Serg stays on.Who apart from Jake is going to get our goals?????.Felt sorry for Tenny,his mistake,but I thought he played very well.Where do we go from here?Can't keep being on top but not score.

Hopefully there will be plenty of shooting practice in training as the forwards were woeful. Would like to see Robinson pushed forward - he seems to have so much energy compared with some. Makofo continues to disappoint and maybe should warm the bench for a while. Hopefully Frank ready this Forum!

I like our players,but looking forward,to challenge next season we need more Can you play your way out of this division.I'm sure(hopefully Frank)has learned a lot from this season,what it takes to win matches.Lots of matches to get in top 6.I know what Gary would say,he hasn't a clue.New manager or not let's have a winning season next season.What are your thoughts?Who do we need?

We need to start winning.... It's that simple.
The football has been good but we can't seen to score. Is there a curse on the stadium ?????
Frank and Paul have the right ideas and need to be given time. No point in changing yet again and having another season of transition and building a new squad ready for yet another mid table year.
But......The "Little Man" was in tears yet again on the way home. This really is turning into a bad joke.
Corinthian Casuals and Carshalton again had bigger crowds than us and there's more and more going missing from our crowds week in and out which worries me.
We can pretty much right this season off as a bad dream.....But......... We beat Harrow and it's Dulwits in the London Senior Cup semi..... And if... if we beat them I'll be a happy man.

My priority would be a keeper. As far as I'm concerned, apart from Somerville, we haven't had a promotion standard keeper all season. And I would move heaven and earth to keep O'Neill. But that said, I don't think we're getting the best out of him in terms of team performance. And we need to sort out the central defence. Simeone has done better than I expected and has been pretty consistent - but is he top drawer for this division? Possibly alongside a faster defender. Not SPB.
The midfield I'm fairly happy with. Pykes has improved a lot and hopefully will be better next season, Wilson has been decent and has played near the top of the Premier. Robinson has been OK as well. And obviously everyone wants a 30 goal striker, but if the midfield all chip in it isn't so critical. I can't make my mind up about Baxter. He's scored 20 odd goals and puts in a tremendous shift so why aren't I convinced - I don't know. But I don't think Barrington is the answer. I like Price as a striker. And if the midfield click we should be able to turn chances into goals whoever is up front.
Set pieces haven't been much cop this season either. They need work. And I think we have to have a slight change of approach to turn our good play into good chances (admittedly I didn't see the Sittingbourne game)
So lots to work on to be honest. And what the manager will probably find over the close season is, that despite all best intentions, players will leave and we will most probably start next season with half a dozen debutants.

I would hope 8 or so would stay on with Frank.If it's new manager then have to to know a new set of players.I to like the football we are trying to play,but has he got right players to play that.Apart from first few games I've been impressed with Jake.Needs another striker that's for sure.So realy we need a spine Goal keeper, centre half,and centre forward.Will need another central midfielder to replace Chace(sob sob).Think Paul Dale has worked well.

I omitted to mention earlier that I was very pleased to see Matt Pierson back between the sticks.
By far the best 'keeper we've had this season since Somerville sadly left for the far east.

Well a rare saturday off so went to the game and its seems at times we didn't want to shoot! But hats off to there keeper who did make some wonderful saves but it leads me to a winge.
The keeper was knocked out cold as me, geoff and statto were at this point standing behind the goal and both physios told the ref under the rules he needs to go off as he was concussed but the ref totally ignored this would it change the scoreline probably not but it proves not all the refs know the rules.
But as for my next game i dont know as im a #nightshiftwanker working weekends but a overall summary it was miles better then when i saw them at home to chatham if we kept all the players and have the same squad for next season i would say it would be a miserable season again but we have seen worse managers and players but Is Frank the right man i dont know it depends on which direction the club want to go, im a strong believer on a 'experienced' manager at this level but thats just my opinion.
