Horsham (a)

[len]

Our last three league games away have all resulted in 1 - 0 losses and consequently no points. In each of these games we have set up our team in a very defensive manner and it appears once we have then gone a goal behind we have changed the formation to a more attacking team but without success.
Now that we have signed two more forwards and with Stan Leech available for selection after his ban,I do hope that we play two up front and from the outset look to score goals and put the opposition under pressure.
If the Manager has any thoughts about getting into the playoffs this I believe is what he needs to do but not sure if he can change his long held beliefs, but hope I am wrong.

Horsham haven’t won a home league game since November against slough . Just win.

This is very true, but they did get a pretty decent Away win in the Trophy last week against a Scunthorpe side who are flying... A game we HAVE to win and get on a run to get any comments started again about playoffs. Having lost at Home earlier in the season, we really can't finish the season (with the greatest respect to Horsham) with zero points against sides like this.

8 defensive players starting the game and a 0-1 half time deficit incoming

True. Currently overachieving - Sitting in 9th place. They're only a point above us, however.

Extremely poor refereeing cost us the game tonight. What was Sam Howes sent off for does anybody know?

[DAGGER2003]

First half really good. Haigh excellent again great ball carrying an excellent finish one on one. Connolly really good holding the ball up. Reggie very effective. Second half on the backfoot all the way. Howes was excellent up until the moment down the other end couldn’t see it some are saying it was a kick. Frustrating. Bradbury subs were poor.

On the MixLR chat someone mentioned he kicked his leg up in a way that could have been taken as a bit much.

The absolute ******** retard kicked out at the player who fouled him instead of rolling around and winding down the clock. Should it have been a penalty? No. But do our idiot players and manager keep bringing this rubbish on ourselves? You betcha.

Fine him a month’s wages and ship him off somewhere at the end of the season because the lad is crap and an embarrassment to the profession. What a shame that loan goalkeeper we had has just been signed up elsewhere. On to our 8th goalkeeper since the start of 2025.

Also ****** off Marsh to a glue factory too. All that prick does is come on, play shit and then get booked. That’s one suspension I can’t wait for us to pick up.

[RM1Dagger]

Didn't see the game, but quelle surprise to see us failing to see out another game when a goal up and concede deep into added time. A missed opportunity with all the teams above us losing. And that my friends is why we will not trouble the playoffs.

[Auntie Merge]

It reminded me of Hereford away, as the BBC live scores weren’t updating. It was showing us as 1-0 up, then updated at full time to 1-1.

However, there seems to be so many issues with the team. Discipline, lack of focus, no leadership. Bradbury has to go.

[Diggerthedog]

How can a full time side surrender to a part time side for a whole half of football, oh I know the full time side have a very poor manager who has signed some very poor players, many injured or loaned out. Marsh is the biggest waste of space I’ve ever seen, pay up his contract in the summer.

As said above we had the better of the first half and should have had one more but then we get half time and a team talk which can only have said keep it tight and don’t attack, what followed was a disgrace and Horsham deservedly equalized referee or not it was coming for 40 mins.

Bradbury falls short each time, even Saturday against the bottom side we struggled until the sending off, get him gone. Season was over in October and he should have been sent packing then. He’s Peter Taylor with bells on and he can take Harris with him.

Horsham have a great set up, puts our set up to shame really, counted 3 bars plus the clubhouse access whilst in the stadium. Whilst our club is in terminal decline part time outfits on and off the pitch outshine us each time.

Second half sounded as though we were under the cosh most of the half. What an idiot Howes kicking out at one of their players and then consequently dropping two valuable points.
We have just one point from our last four away games and scored one goal which is clearly not good enough and something needs to change quickly.
We now don’t have an experienced goalkeeper available for the next few games as well.

[Corinthian]

Looks like league leaders Torquay struggled against Chippenham.

Just seen the highlights and how near we were to winning the game. If you think how many players have been sent off for us this season it is just crazy.
Nightingale is clearly not ready to play at this level at the moment but not sure how easy it is to get another goalkeeper for a few weeks.
