0-0

Not the result we wanted. Draw was fair though. First 30mins they tore us apart and really should have been ahead. Second half we looked solid. I really like Doidge's energy but his finishing has been poor. Hawkins is just a big lump as well. Positives: three games unbeaten; three consecutive clean ...

Re: All Waynes fault.

The real villains are the board.

Complete lack of ambition and footballing nous. Thompson daren't do his walk arounds anymore!

Yesterday was the same as it has been for the last few years - big crowd (by our standards) and we were very poor.

Re: They've closed the book

After the first ten minutes we were the better team for the whole first half. Then we give away a soft goal and that's it. Not sure why Hyam gets singled out.although I imagine the reason he plays is because we don't have an abundance of centre halves not playing. I'd question why Labadie plays. To...

Re: They've closed the book

Two very poor teams. I'm so frustrated at our lack of threat up front. We've been toothless at home so many times this season. How have Yeovil got that bad? We can complain about our club all we like (and with good reason) but trying to fight a third successive relegation suggests something is serio...

Anyone know how long he's out for?

Re: Two, one down, red card, penalty...

Gutted. Absolutely gutted. A deserved defeat but the circumstances make it unbearable. Real rearguard action second half. Diamonds had one of his best games defensively - weak link is definitely Hyam - he's caused a one-on-one in the last two games. Does anyone believe we can get out of it? I don't.

Re: As bad as anything this season

Last 20minutes were particularly poor. We actually had decent spells where we were on top. One of our (many) problems is that we seldom score when we are on top. Goals take pressure off, which (hopefully) means less mistakes. Today, and our whole season, has been sadly predictable. Quite simply, we ...

Re: Cousins or O'Brien?

O'Brien.

Cousins too indecisive and kicking is poor.

You can see he makes our defence nervous as well

It's all over bar the shouting...

Awful football match today (conditions didn't really help). Once again we matched Cambridge at times but, yet again, silly mistake has cost us a point. Worrall has been a decent signing but his nativity showed today - awful distribution from him at times. Guam next to him looked very nervous. Simply...

Re: last 10 mins again

Was today the day we were relegated? Let go of a two goal lead late on against a team who are down there themselves. The most worrying thing is that, according to the stats, we were lucky to draw. I look at our remaining fixtures and am struggling to see where any wins will come from. We've taken 7p...

Re: Now that it's over.....

Fantastic day out and we defended stoutly throughout, which gives us great hope for the rest of the season. My one qualm, aside from the constant 'sign-on' chant, was we never really went he'll for leather to try and trouble their keeper. It was only 1-0 for a long time and part of me would rather h...

Re: How much longer

I was at the game today. Probably a deserved loss but we did show some fight in the second half; if Jamie score the sitter he smashed against the bar we draw the game (not to mention Mark being beaten at his near post for their first goal). I've been crying for the manager's head for ages and will c...

Re: protest

It was quite sad watching the game today. Whatever people's reasons were for staying away, there is no denying that 900 is a very Non-League attendance. Thomo is away with the fairies. Last week he told me that Burnett is a 'good manager'. Today he just kept repeating 'We are not going down' (1 win ...
