Turned out well again I see, the happy clappers will still be there week in week out clapping along whilst the club sinks to desperate new lows.

This is what happens when you have non-existent owners.

In all honesty once Leech got sent off that was that. Any goal threat we had vanished. That's not to say we would have won, as some of these players are barely Sunday league at best, but it certainly didn't help.
And yet the hierarchy are content with proceedings. I use the term hierarchy loosely of course because I'm not sure whether we actually have anyone at the helm steering this rudderless ship. It's getting so that I don't recognise these players at all from one week to the next. They seem to be slung together in some vain hope that things will turn around. But it doesn't it just gets worse. Week in week out we as fans are subjected to this utter dross and expected to smile when handing over our hard earned with minimal fuss.
Today was as dreadful as I've ever seen. Utterly hopeless in a season of hopelessness. Anyone thinking of the playoffs needs psychiatric help they should be sectioned immediately for health and safety reasons.
If anything another relegation is most definitely on the cards.

Not a great game certainly once Leech was sent off. 2 sides that were never going to score. However how far over the line does it have to be for the ref and linesman to give the correct decision?? We saw it from the Sieve but the linesman just wasn't up with play. Almost gave my glasses to the ref. Shocking
Those kids throwing flares on the pitch are the best thing to happen to the club this season as at least it prevents us from having to watch Bradbury’s football for a few minutes. People at games (whoever is still going) need to start kicking off until we sack him and finally get told what is happening with this ownership update.
Mike Jones on the commentary today directly addressed it when asked and said “I don’t know who, or when, but I know it’s going ahead”. Very well intended and I appreciate it, but if we don’t know who or when, then we don’t know anything. Everyone at the club is being take for mugs, both by charging fans to keep watching this shit and by continuously hiding behind this takeover that isn’t actually happening. Relegation incoming I promise you.

Yesterday’s result was hard to take, after we played extremely well in the first half but unfortunately we did not have the ability to put one of the many chances away, after the red card we were always going to be on the defensive but the problem is that we are lacking in ability there as well, totally embarrassing really being a professional club constantly coming up short against part timers, not sure who the blame lies with… whoever recruits the players or who coaches them has to take responsibility and unfortunately this points directly at Bradbury! 1200 was the announced attendance yesterday but I doubt if there was more than 900, says it all about our season so far and it’s not going to get any better. Sad days at Victoria Rd.
Bradbury changes the players and formation so often I doubt anyone knows what they're meant to be doing. The variability in our performances is quite concerning, some games we look energetic and aggressive and then the next game we look like we don't want to be there. Some weeks we pick the most defensive side possible and the next week we pick a team full of attackers. There's no balance.
His recruitment has been woeful in terms of not creating a balanced squad and missing some key attributes. Sure, people like Dieng are very capable footballers but when you've already got the slowest midfield in the division you need to sign some energy. Leech was an emergency signing as we only had one injury prone target man option. Lusala is the only player who can play right wing back and he often leaves him out. As for Marsh, the guy is terrible.

Lee Bradbury needs to be replaced and soon, the problem is with the supposed sale of the club not finalised it now seems very unlikely that until that is complete nothing is likely to happen. If there is a new owner on the horizon the future of the manager should be top of things to do immediately, we can only hope this is sorted soon as we are only 9points above the relegation zone.
Another relegation would be a total disaster.

The discourse about everything on and off the pitch is just so tiresome and repetitive. Nothing changes.
A game that obviously hinged on two big moments we fell the wrong side of but at the end of the day it's another loss which leaves us closer to relegation than the play-offs Bradbury laughably alluded to.
Even 11 v 11 we were second best while conceding the much clearer chances.
Leech gave us a presence again. His absence for three games after Tuesday will cost us dearly and I'm sure I'm not alone in expecting us to drop more points than we gain without him, if any at all.
Dieng gets away with a hell of a lot especially as captain, N'Guessan is always passive, but they're both still miles better than Marsh. I've grown less impressed by De Silva with every game. As for Wilson, one of the biggest disappointments I can remember.

When Hemmings return to the club after scoring 30 goals last season and the big signing of Carroll, I thought this could be the start of something big. Bradbury signing players left,right and centre, saying this player is a box to box player and this player can do this and that, plus the takeover, which was going to be announced very, very, very soon.
We got as much chance of getting in the playoffs as Hornchurch are, with a substandard stadium for the national League.

7, from 32 games all comps, which must be the most in the top seven tiers. 5 of those being straight reds.
