Decided after 180 minutes on a player.........let's give him a bit longer, support him and see what goes on. Thought he caused trouble all game long. Either side of the keeper his header would have been lovely. Also think his overall game play is what has been missing in those draws and defeats that we've had too many of. Held the ball up well, linked up with BB, brought others into play and I think is certainly one to watch. If his all arms and legs continue to cause problems and the defence are left unsure as much as we are to his next move then so far so good. I think both these signings could be major for us this season and probably just what we needed...hopefully Faal not just short term to act as a gap filler.

Decent performance overall. Weatherstone was steady at the back....Billy looks much happier with someone to feed/feed off. There were a couple of times they linked up well and with their shooting/heading more clinical both could have had more on the day. Don't think anyone really had a bad game. That said, I know Harlow have won 2 of 3 however thought they were poor overall. One thing I will say....T....thank you for all your efforts, was interesting that there was a difference of opinions with management. Hopefully we'll have done the better of that deal. I've been critical of Andy just recently.....however he has gone out and got a striker.....question is would this have happened without Hope's forced absence. We needed maybe some experience at the back and we now have some.......perhaps that can bring more to the back line and help with organisation. Good to see the Town back to winning ways. Well done boys.

Please tell me 2 up top???

Wasn't there yesterday as was away. The only things to discuss recently are negatives unfortunately. The performances and product on the field are the only consistent things at the moment. Honestly feels like the season was lost few weeks back. Lacklustre Down Lacking However this squad seems a complete shadow of the early season one. Would love to put my finger on it . Anyone who thinks knee jerk or we are fickle.........as fans? Well we all see what we do and we re all entitled to our views. If you're happy with how November and December seem to be panning out then why????? Oops. Apparently he gave an interview recently.....I've not seen. However. Can't say I've seen a change/improvement.

Get in Lads...... been a while 😀

Or Perhaps Brandon could ve got more game time. He clearly walked because he wasn't in favour.....or is that unfair? If things turn round by December/january I ll be the first one on here admitting it Yes we are a fickle bunch but I've seen alot since brightlingsea.... It's more frustration......!!!

Glimmer of hope: The last 6 games....all without a win we've scored 7 goals......1. something a game.......... We've conceded 17 goals........that's averaging nearly 3 goals against a game. Andy had all of last season. He has had all of this season up to now. This is his team. The reasons for performance have been discussed many times over on here. We have a very talented team.......with a number having experience higher up. Andy has at the club players he thinks can produce performances. Give him a season people say.........well we are now nearly half way through this season. Thing is we are capable of producing some lovely stuff......to nick your name........however everyone here knows what the play at home has been like in the past month. I wonder if coaches at this level now are worried about coming to Donkey Lane..........or looking forward to it. I know which one it is. Throw into the mix too that all the fixtures in December look tasty ones....with local derbies...teams below us and also fighting to avoid relegation. Excited.......wish I was. ps......we have one of the top keepers in this league........and top strikers too. Do they look like it right now.....far from it.

it is a combination of how we set up and also our attitude during games. Billy has been isolated all year long. As a result of that we spend longer defending than attacking. I honestly feel sorry for him as one of his best options along side him has now been given a proper chance elsewhere and we've seen numerous youngsters come and go which is a shame. If people on here think it's not down to formations then please watch upcoming games and see the scraps he has to feed on......I don't mean Andy. This season is turning into one of our strongest looking squads.....turning into a damp squib all too soon!!!

Wasn't there today......were we any better than recently.....? Tough day/couple of days all round I guess.

Only reason his chances have been limited are down to one person.......

Last 4 games 14 GA 4gs Would like to hear more from anyone else who went today please.

On feed it says sayouds shot squeezed in What was our formation?

Sorry wildlife. Wasn't referring to you. I know you have to protect referee as an ex official. I also know many/most volunteer. You do a grand job. However thought we had a steward or 2 in high vis behind their goal....and wouldn't have envied their job with their fans getting personal. Keep up the good work.

Have to say don't really feel much better this morning than I did last night. Noticed on Twitter Billy scored his 250th goal. An amazing achievement. He is a brilliant player........and was so excited when his arrival was announced but he is being sooooooooo misused. Despite Liam's late arrival(as usual) as soon as he came on he flicked on the ball and Billy was there.....yes he was tackled however it showed that with support Billy will receive more. Been said time and again......if we play 4 2 3 1.........then the whole team must get closer to Billy. If we play 4 5 1..........then either Sam(Young or Chaney) are both able players to feed him......or either winger. However more often than not he is so isolated and the ball comes back every time. I honestly wish we would look at playing 4 3 3......we have the players to do it. If it's broke........which it clearly is then why oh why do we carry on. Failing that for goodness sake give Billy either Brandon/bilal or Liam alongside him......we'd cause defences all manner of problems. I felt silly for Billy last night, but at the same time our defence isn't right either.......whether it's lack of concentration we are leaking too much and it seems that quite a few teams are playing smarter than us. Hate to say it........however at the moment more often than not we are beating OURSELVES. Think within the next month our season will be decided 😣
