Due to a work related engagement ... and checking my phone to update myself on the score ... I couldn't believe my eyes when the half time result came up ... 4-0 to us ... I managed to get to the stadium just as the teams were kicking off the second half, I was prepared to see us score a few more goals, especially after I was given a running commentary by the chap standing next to me ... I must admit that I was slightly disappointed with the showing in the second half and in the end we even gave them a flattering outlook on the result by gifting them 2 goals that their work rate just about deserved.
We must put these kind of games out of sight and more, at least we are not drawing these games yet, like we did last season.
Again I will say that we have a stronger side physically than last season ... but do anyone else believe that we are short on quality ? ... especially in the third half of the team ... For what I saw , Frannie was chasing balls that he couldn't get to, his passing was very wayward ... but he still scored 2 goals albeit against a very poor goalkeeper in the canvey team.
The lad needs a rest and someone to come in to push him if he has the desire to do so.
Having said what I felt personally and stand by it, I was pleased to see us back winning after last Monday's result and we are back on track bitting at the heels of the "Champion elect", so I see some of you think.
C'MON YOU STONES !! ... We are playing Hornchurch on Tuesday night, let's avenge the result from last season at their place and keep them firmly rooted at the bottom of the League, where they shamefully occupy now.
No need to ask, but there will be a few of us going again, probably more than their own supporters ... so let's make some noise and cheer our team to victory !!
