Riverside Urchin

Ps I also heard last night that it was Chris Dickson’s last match as he is pursuing other interests. Surely players want to come and play for the Trophy champions?

Yes what’s happened to the players? We need an update on their return plus Johnson ? What’s happened to him? Needs new signings - what’s the point in attending east Thurrock if we have little on bench. Nice to see Saka on pitch.

Aim high. They’re ESL - put out a strong team notch up the goals and only then put subs on. Let’s not have a mistake of a replay.

Dreadful. Things picked up when the substitutes came on, why did we start with one of the weakest players up front from the start?

I hope there will be enough to go round. I am not a season ticket holder nor do I fall into the other categories mentioned. But I have been at all home and away games for 18 years unless I’ve been on holiday!

This is what can happen if you have a vision and the resilience and determination to achieve it. Well done, but really words are not enough for what everyone at the club achieved. This for me tops the 1st/2nd round of FA cup, Weymouth and the slog in the ESL. My first match was Marlow at home - anyone out there know what year that was?? I can then pin down how many years I’ve supported this great club.

If we raise the dosh for the overnight stay I think we can win. We must not underestimate the strength of the team spirit. When you have that you can achieve anything. We also have Nathan and Chris back. We can do it.

My flabber has never been so gasted!! Grit and determination like I’ve never seen. Well done lads.

Any news on whether Dickinson and Cooper will return for the Darlington match ? Also us there any chance the match will be streamed?

After all the shenanigans re streaming it was great to see the depleted team pull together and pull off a fantastic win. How on earth the team and Mark managed to beat a conference team after restricted training and lack of matches is beyond me. I put it down to team spirit and a determination to win for the fans and the urchins. Dodgy streaming at times and hilarious when commentators couldn’t work out who was coming on and off and had to be helped by a youngster in background! Great and what a goalie.

Agree Charlie seems to be the missing link and what a great ho does. What a great job he does I meant ! plus George Ellis and everyone really two super performances

My thinking is that the pros playing at the moment are tested numerous time’s a week I assume that’s not practical in non league. That’s why the threat needs to be 1 before we can play I would assume.

Re the recent tweet which said that they hope to start non-league football with crowds in September, what’s the general view out there? The key problem is the close contact of players. I can’t see how it can happen until the threat level is down to level 1 i.e no social distancing needed. What do you think?

Thank you for posting this game. It's funny how your memory works. I remember the grotty B&B I stayed in on the Friday night, the beautiful lady who served me tea on the seafront pre match and Jesus scoring in the last minutes of the game. Great team and if anyone knows the whereabouts of Simon Parker tell him it's on YouTube! I agree with Miss Hornchurch the Bromley game with Elliot in goal plus any of the 1st/2nd round FA Cup matches if possible.

This was an important issue that needed to be clarified. Jamie’s goal was excellent and I think him, Chris and Danny will be an unstoppable combination going forward.
