There's no disguising that it was poor all round . But I would be disappointed if I heard my fellow supporters vocalising those sort of complaints out loud. Have people forgotten how well those same players have been playing in recent weeks?

I had a few moan ups today, but there's no way I'm going to give this group any verbals at the moment.

But here on the message board I am going to question the manager a bit.  We weren't getting any joy against their defence,  and I thought Craig should have changed things earler. I thought he lacked a bit of imagination today. Admittedly,  it's the players who are on the pitch, but I think Craig might look back on this one and wished he'd done things differently

I can not say how much I am disgusted by what you say Gary, the club does not need supporters who act in that manner, as you say we should all stick together, through thick and thin, not aim personal, abuse at people, how low can some people stoop.

I spoke to Craig tonight.
I don't think I am betraying any trust when I say he is really disappointed with some of the abuse that he had to suffer today.
I spoke to another player tonight that said to me we need to stick together be a football family . Players ,management, Supporters all as one. Win or lose together. This will set us apart from any other club.
Another thing to mention we had the TM kickers as Mascots before the game and they stayed and watched with their parents.
Lets get behind the boys on Tuesday!

I'm sorry but does Craig (who I think on the whole is doing a great job), really think the team can play as badly as they did on Saturday and not get any stick from the supporters??? The lack of a plan B when things are working is a concern as is the continued use of short corners and free kicks are major causes of frustration as they simply don't work. How did East Grinstead score on Saturday?

I am unable to make many mid week games so the last two games I have attended were Aylesbury and East Grinstead, both very poor performances against very average opposition. I can take losing, God knows I've been around Tooting long enough to know what that's like! but I can't take losing with out a fight, which apart from one or two players has been the case.

Yes the team need to supporters to get behind them, and on the whole even those of us in the stand do (apart from one person who I will not name), but remember these things work both ways.

This game has to go down as the worst performance this season (orthough Redhill was pretty bad). The team didn't seem like the same team that I watched play against Chipstead just four days earlier. They weren't flowing the same way, didn't look anywhere as dangerous, the main man was not as threatening and it lacked something overall. Yes credit should go to East Grinstead for doing a job and they will probably consider this a huge three points, orthough I was not a fan of there number three the ****.
With this season being so much better than the last three and having witness more wins in this season so far compared to the last three it is great really frustrating that we are losing to lower opposition, yet teams around us we have beaten or drawn. Let's hope that changes tuesday against Hythe Town.
Is it a case that we under estimate the lesser teams or maybe we struggle to break down those happy to sit back, park the bus and defend for a point with anything else being a bonus.
It is frustrating, but that is no excuse to abuse any player in the way it has been highlighted above. Saturday I walked out before the final whistle (I think I have done this only twice before). Yes I was disappointed, the little upset and annoyed that we had given away a golden chance of getting into the play offs with our game in hand intact. But I had no intention or thought of abusing or swearing at any of our players, that is totally unacceptable and whoever that person was should be ashamed of themselves.
But on a bright note other teams at the top dropped points also, Faversham were destroyed.
We are only one point away from 5th and still process a better goal difference and a game in hand so come on everyone, chin up and keep the faith in our fine manager.
