Why can't we score ? Flish is looking off the pace these days DD was loaned out without being given a chance LEM looks to be about to suffer the same fate Where are the goals coming from Jay ?

Sweeney had one of those frustrating games where he alternates between being brilliant and making you want to kick his arse. Feel free to make a list of his brilliant performances. Here's mine . . . . . . I've finished ..I've not seen one ever ...The odd good one the odd average but mostly shit like tonight . Kick up the arse is no good and you can't polish a turd ,needs contract ripping up and sending back to rymans with the others .

Much better tonight, one mistake and no proper striker cost us. Hope Twumassi has learnt the vital lesson that if the throw goes against you don't argue with the ref, get goal side of the player you're supposed to be marking. Thought the midfield looked a lot better balanced tonight although Sweeney had one of those frustrating games where he alternates between being brilliant and making you want to kick his arse. Paxman and Bobby Joe were our best players tonight and if we had a proper forward on the pitch maybe some if the chances that went begging would be taken. Flish just isn't doing enough at the moment to justify his starting place, especially when we have two strikers on the bench. Still, at least I didn't come home feeling thoroughly deflated like Saturday. The midfield is more balanced with 3 their. Thought Sweeney and Paxman bossed it until the last 10 minutes when we decided our tactic was the long ball. We did create some great openings, Flish got in behind and wasted it, Loza got in behind and wasted it. The difference between us and them was they are clinical in those positions and we're not. Agree re Twumasi, that's the second post you have made about his mistake yet said nothing about Rogers doing the exact same thing on Saturday? That's the difference between something that happens in front of the stand and something that happens on the far side. I can only comment on what I see.

I'm happy with the performance not the result , as Senna said a draw would have probably been a fair result (and without that one switch-off we would have had that). If I hadn't seen the game on Saturday and been relieved how much better we were, I'd probably be lamenting the fact that we should have won. That performance, if replicated week after week will keep us up. (Now who does these rose tinted specs I borrowed below to?)

So, better, but the score could easily have been the same as Saturday and for all the effort am not sure we ever looked like scoring. There again, they scored when they had 13 players, because the linesman on the stand side did not have a clue and the ref gave us nothing. Bit of a worry how many Lincoln got again and gap down to 5 points. Ref gave Loza a second chance to be fair. Thought he should have seen red.

We played better than Saturday but that was still not great. Think we only tested the keeper twice. Everything else was straight at him or our strikers being greedy. Twice flisher and Loza had a chance to square the ball for BJT to score but both times they were greedy and shot themselves. I'm sure flishers ended up in the river. We need a proper striker and for some reason we have one but Jay leaves him on the bench. What's the deal with the tactics. I'm sure Jay doesn't tell them before the game to pass the ball to our defenders and then kick it long to our smallest player on the pitch. What chance have we got when we have players that can't pass the ball on the floor. Before the game I see some one two touch passing in the training set up but I don't see a long ball training set up. What is going on. These players need to be shipped out and get players in that want to pass on this nice pitch. Also get the full backs up more Seth and mills are playing too deep. They need to play like wingers now. Mills looks afraid to leave his position. Think he only went forward a few times. I want to see them over lapping the wingers and pulling opposition players out of position. Come on Jay we need new midfielders and defenders and ship out the players who are not contributing. If you don't do this soon we will get relegated. Look at the crowd tonight that must of been the lowest attendance for a league game for a while. If things don't change then it may get lower and I'm sure that won't please the owners.

Much better than I expected/feared, I think we were at least as good as D&R, just not as clinical in front of goal. We had dozens of attempts, they scored with their first serious shot on goal.
But then we were playing with NO strikers - so how are we supposed to score goals? Flish is a 'striker', sure, but he's definitely off-form at the moment - he still does the Flish magic and he works his socks off, but the speed and touch has gone, and his body language radiates dissatisfaction. He looks fit enough, so it's not a pie problem, but something is wrong - and why no long throws tonight?
And, loath as I am to criticise St Jay, why did he wait so long to bring on the subs? What on earth did he expect them to achieve in so little time? It was clear that 4,5,1 wasn't working in the first half and nothing had changed in the second, so why wait so long to change it?
And, lastly, I've only seen him play briefly twice, but I can't say I'm impressed with BHO - what does he add to the team that better players don't already contribute?

First sub-2,000 league attendance too. Understandable after Saturday, yes, but still worrying.
And my MotM was Mills - incredible the talent and awareness that guy has. And incredible that we've managed to hold on to him.

Is it a back problem or is it that the long throws no longer work especially considering that we never look like will score from a corner at this level.

So many gaps in the main stand last night, will those people renew next year when they realise they are paying for something & not using it ( a bit like that annual gym membership you get at Christmas & then proceed to do **** all with ) .

Agree with most / all of the points above. We missed our chance last night to get at least something from a team who frankly weren't much above the ordinary - 4th in the league, you're 'avin a laugh. Hope that the group of Daggers fans who ran into me just outside the old sorting office found the KFC and enjoyed a truly magical and uplifting meal. Come to Maidstone & eat KFC, wow, that's living alright.....................

Very disappointing result and we were definitely worth a point on that performance. The problem we have is that we don't take our chances when in the ascendancy and the opposing teams do...Woking and Dagenham bring good examples. BJT was my Motm tonight and no sure why he was subbed unless there was an underlying reason. When you are on a bad run then it's difficult to break the cycle and it's hard to see where the goals are going to come from. I am not sure LE-M is the answer because at this level you can't just wait for the ball to arrive and he looked a little static...that said he wasn't given long to make a difference. COYS.

The ref was the one who mistakenly sent Nathan Paul off at Ramsgate many years ago I believe.. always been useless . Flish is suspended for Saturday, so will be interesting to see if LEM gets a chance.
