Charlie Wayman

Was Eckert good because he spied on opponents or is he good anyway? With all the corruption going on in football worldwide, I am happy to forgive this relatively minor indiscretion and keep him here provided that the players are still prepared to work with him. I am hoping that if players like THB, Jander and Scienza are happy to give it another go then the rest will fall into line. We have the basis of a very good team assembled here and if we can keep 90% of it together then things might not turn out so badly in the end.

come on you tigers!

It's not over yet…...

Don't be so bloody soft, the bloke knew exactly what he was doing @ just following orders, sir!

Cheer up, it'll all be forgotten in a couple of weeks.

Yes. Shame that Larin lost his touch when it mattered most. Fellows has been a disappointment although Eckert still seems to see something in him. I'd rather have a battler like Matsuki with an eye for goal even if Fellows provides better defensive cover for Bree.

Tough times ahead. Squeeky bum time tonight.

Who/

No way was it our "plan" to sit back in the first half and invite them to give us a battering. They came out of the blocks gunning for us, rocked us onto the back foot before we could settle and all we could do was to resort to rearguard action. They were by far the better team and should have been out of sight at HT. Credit to the coaches for lifting the team for the second half and spotting ways to neutralise their threat; thus enabing us to settle, slow the pace and start to play our game rather than theirs. Maybe 'born tired but it was us that had to do all the first half chasing so our lads were probably even more knackered than them. It was a tactical victory but only in the sense that we stopped the rot. We did not deserve anything from this match other than taking a good look at ourselves in the mirror. Tuesday is not going to be an easy stroll to Wembley Way, if we don't pull up our socks over this weekend there is every chance that this is all going to end in tears in front of our home fans.

dirty tricks to unsettle us

Clinging to straws

The lads need to pull up their socks second half or we could lose this one through complacency. Archer needs hooking and Charles doesn't look that bothered. Scienza needs a goal to restore his confidence.

He is already playing for one of he biggest teams

The lads were knackered from the off physically and mentally, why on earth didn't we use our subs. Beats me. Hard to understand Eckert last night, he must have had something in mind unless he was knackered as well. Bragg could have been our saviour and Matsuki?

Ah! OK So, Bragg & Charles in midfield, which is fair enough as Charles is better as an AMF, knows where the goal is and is less error prone in that position ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- saintant: Nah, gotta be Bragg and Jander for me. Reply: Ordinarily I would agree with you, Jander is by far the better player but sutrely he must be knackered after his heroics on Saturday? Charles will be lot fresher
