There were already calls for him to go due to the friendly results.

How long has he got? Or should we prepare for another relegation?

Oh and a message to the club… if we suddenly win 3 on the bounce, don’t give him a 2 year extension like you did Daryl.

Yeah I want him gone.

I’m of the opinion that Bradbury is not good enough, pre season was worrying, he can blame recruitment, injuries etc but at the end of the day he’s got players who should be good enough to beat teams like we played today, no disrespect to Hampton n Richmond but we should have been looking at a win today.

He’s got to go, or we’ll be in the Ryman next season. Bloke is clueless

Too early to sack somebody after four league games, we have had so many injuries.
We definitely need another goalscoring forward urgently.
Bradbury and his assistant I believe can get this sorted out.

He's got to go. Useless. He don't feel like a dagger. He'll be blaming us next.
Signed a load of duds and players made of glass.Hornchurch top of the league 10 points more than us.

Too many injuries? It’s what happens when you sign injury prone players, his call. Wilson and Carroll prime examples of that.

He’s needs to win the next two or we’re looking at two years minimum in this division.

Was going to come along on Monday which would have been my first game of the season, but nah won’t be bothering now. Enjoy.

“Not pleased with the situation… through other things that have gone on today off the pitch.”

Post match interview from Bradbury. Surely the new owners haven’t pulled out, right?

I was about to come and post a similar comment.
I didn’t think it was about the owners but perhaps something else is going on at the club.

That’s my prediction. But who knows, only time will tell.

The fella having a row with Andy Carroll at the tunnel

Or the big overweight fella 6 foot 2 ish vandalising the beaver burger stand, then turning on others with fists.

Appreciate where you're coming from Len but the above is spot on... Carroll, Wilson, Marsh, Dieng, Maghoma all came in with significant injury histories and three of them weren't even fit enough to start our first competitive game of the new season... No point whatsoever getting a decent run in the league with a fit squad in October when we're already fifteen to twenty points off of promotion.

This is a desperately average league this year, as shown by some of the early results but we appear to have a squad that had no depth, changing tactics every 60 minutes of a game and a 30 goal a year striker that we brought in with no creative midfield to support him (outside of Haigh who didn't start yesterday) and no proper wingers.

If there are ownership, and potential financial issues off the pitch then this season is dead in the water before September begins... Already said I'm tired of being told things will just magically come good after witnessing how bad we were against a lower level Aveley side who had just been relegated from our new division,and then being attacked on social media for not appreciating we had a new squad when this was exactly what was feared

Is there seriously any point in us running a supposed "Full Time" team, when they have already failed to beat at least 2, or maybe 3 part time teams already this season, plus those they failed to beat in pre-season.
We have no people involved who know how to run a professional club, we buy injured plagued players, who instantly get injured, and then we blame results on injured players!, which happens season after season, rinse & repeat.
Always give it large in pre-seaon that we are going for promotion, then 4 games in it's " we will get better, it's a work in progress, stick with us" blah blah blah.....
Already 10 pts off the leaders, who are bloody Hornchurch, who play at a bloody community athletics track!!
We really might as well stop wasting all this money on so called Professional players & management, and just go part time............ we would actually end up with a better team.

Spot on, should have transitioned into a part time side following relegation, would have Josh Rees in the side for starters. Running full time at this level you pick up the worst of the full time pros who are injury prone or plain crap hence they’re at this level. We’re paying full time wages for in reality part time players.

If we had gone part time there would have been a lot of criticism that we had no ambition because to get promoted from this division you needed most likely to be a full time outfit.
