I must have been watching a different game from you guys,, I would hardly call their defence "well organised"
too many times they got caught with only three at the back, nobody seemed to be organising them, not even their management, we should have been at least three up before half time.
Some of our passing movements were first class, but what good is that if we do not finish them off!
We seemed to be getting forward in numbers, and when we did decide to shoot, it was woeful, looking for a positive, we created a hatfull of chances but no one was able to finish them off, with one person in particular must have had his boots on the wrong feet he seemed to put the ball everywhere apart from
towards the goal, and when is he going to look up to see if a team mate is in a better position.
Ashley made all the difference to our midfield today and I do not see a way he can loose his place if he keeps playing as he did, why did he only get ten minutes last week is beyond me, likewise Leon, when he is running at defenders he must frighten the life out of them especially in the box, surely it is time to start showing more confidence in him by giving him a run of games, otherwise how can he improve.
I felt there were probably four or five players  who you could say had a good game, but they, unfortunately, were unable to carry those who were just not up to it.
Let us hope the shooting improves on Monday, and we lay down a marker to the rest of the teams, that the "TERRORS" are back.
But I will not hold my breath.

Very encouraging start to the season (apart from the cup exit). Can't comment too much on performances as I've only seen 55 minutes of football this season (turned up 10 minutes before half time at the Herne Bay game). New rosters at work have prevented me from attending and will prevent me from attending on Monday.

Just wondering that if we pick up a positive result on Monday, do the Bog End regulars want me to stay away next Saturday, when I'm due to return to the fold? I was accused of being a jinx last season!!!!!

Very pleased with yesterday. I thought we played well & fully deserved our win. Have to agree with "GOD HELP US" regarding one of our centre backs, Although the performance was good, we must not get away from the one to one situation. I think any other team would have put those clear cut chances away. We have got to the same. If we had scored 5 or 6 it would not have fattered them.

The joy of MOM is that you pay your money and then make YOUR choice.
(Dan Summers still talks to me despite ignoring his two goals for another more crucial performance in a victory a season or two ago)

I greatly enjoyed the performance of Bennett who enlivened midfield. 
Kurtis Pyke had been my choice of the player capable of growing in to the creative player we so badly needed in that role and I am really saddened to see he has departed.  I did not know.

However.......I think that is probably 7 'certain' goals Matt Pierson has kept out with some incredible goal keeping this season.  We would not be where we are without him.
He would have been my choice.

I share the concern about the lack of pace at centre back, especially when SBP is moved in there.
Any ball played through the middle when we are pushed up threatens.
Thankgoodness we have other more solid options to return in the form of Quincy Rowe. On holiday I believe.

Tenny was in the bar afterwards and had had a long icing session on a nasty injury.
However his feeling was that it was not too bad. Weeks rather than months. Let's hope that is the case.

Onward and upward.

I'll hand it over on Saturday
