I got in my car and was disappointed but also completely fulfilled that I watched an entertaining game of football.  For the last two seasons, I would have felt anger and frustration.  Playing kids for the sake of it. I would have been guessing the first team managers and coaches' motives.  This season, we have a club legend doing his best for free as a volunteer.  If you can't get behind that, then I don't know what to say .
This game we made mistakes on and off the bench. Why we subbed our left back, for example.  But overall, I really enjoyed the game. We started scared for 20 minutes to pass the ball coning off 2 losses this was understandable , their massive CB was loving life.As we kept Pumping balls too high onto his head. We did start playing at  1,2, and 3 nil. As soon as they got the penalty, we stopped playing again.
I really hope the management will start keeping it simpler.  This squad is dying for a old fashioned 442. 4231 never works at this level for me. Their overweight left back was blowing after 30 minutes. We never really ran at him, and he had a too easy game.
Congratulations to Alton. They worked very hard for their win.
For those that were shouting at Jamie Byatt.  Please remember he has lost his 2 first choice CB. Penfold and Cisse. He hasn't got the biggest budget.
I spoke to him regarding players. He asked every player you would expect.  Like Jake Baxter , Coleman, etc. They are just being offered much more than we can offer. Plus, we are now in a league. Most Isthmian league players won't drop too unless you pay them more than their currently on. Jamie, for me, is doing a great job. It's all part of his learning and our rebuilding.
Let's get behind the boys on Saturday against Guildford.
