Re: 2024/25 Squad

I guess a lot of this depends on the situation at the top when we hit the summer. If Trinity are no longer prepared to bankroll us then we are more likely to see a number of players leave in the summer with cheaper inferior replacements brought in but perhaps if we get a new owner or some 'investor'...

Re: Southend Away KO Time

That’s a very fair assessment. A proper game of 2 halves but unsurprising seeing as we lost two key players before HT. I suspect that Southend took a pasting from their manager at the break. I do worry about our mentality after HT though. We often concede in the first 15 mins of the 2nd half and som...

Re: Bye Trinity

I posted a very considered reply on here referring to the impact abuse on social media has had on the owner's decision to depart. It hasn't been posted. Why? Not sure why. I’m sure most people would agree that the Yanks were subject to some well deserved grief on Twitter/X. They took the plaudits a...

Re: NL: Wealdstone (H) 16 December 2023

Whoa there hoss! I won't have anything said against St**e Th**pson. He got bored with watching the football as usual at about 20 minutes and walked around the pitch to talk to the 3 fans that still like him. He also drank in his special bar that the Americans somehow got persuaded to build him AND I...

Re: NL: Wealdstone (H) 16 December 2023

OK - I’ll go first. Nah wait - I really can’t be bothered anymore and judging by the silence on this forum nobody else can either. If you want to get some reaction from the game today then simply scroll down to every other past match content on this forum and you’ll get the gist. Just like our invis...

Re: Yank's seasons over

And despite the new guy coming in they still haven't seen the deficiencies of Thompson. Dave Andrews knew what he was and always kept him in control but the Yanks have been completely blindsided and have allowed him to destroy the soul of the club by alienating and banning the true fans and bouncing...

Sorry - just a bit bored and decided to post this to remind everyone that a fish rots from the head. Nothing more to say. Goodnight.

Is this the worst Dagenham and Redbridge team ever?

Not sure I've ever felt as low about a Dagenham & Redbridge team as I do about this one. No pattern, no fight, no creativity, no flow, no clue whatsoever. Today looked like 11 blokes who have never met each other and fancied a kick-about in the park. Next Saturday will be a very toxic atmosphere...

Re: NL: AFC Flyde (H) 2 September

Yep - can’t fault the performance today. Could have done without going on the back foot after the 3rd goal but they didn’t look like getting one back, defended well. Next Saturday is a big test. Would take a draw at this stage.

Re: Even F......g worse!!

This all started at the end of last season when the Yanks and Thompson decided to offload all our quality and build a team on the cheap to replace Walker, McCallum, Morias etc. If you pay peanuts you get Monkeys and we have a right bunch of chimps playing for us now. I didn't believe it when everyon...

Re: New Manager

Hmm. On the face of it this feels like a very uninspiring appointment but the sentiment seems to be to give Strevens a chance and get behind him - which I agree is the right thing to do. No question though that this is a Thompson appointment, unlikely to rock the boat and dare to challenge him. He i...
