Difficult to take any positives from this. Our midfield were overrun. Second to every ball, hopeless in the air, and unable to string passes together. Up front Luer just looked hopeless. No first touch. And for someone so big, how is it that Delano wins nothing in the air?
I honestly can’t see us getting anything more this season, based on that showing. And with one or two exceptions, the players don’t seem to care. I’m a massive supporter of Jay but he looked clueless tonight. There was no plan.
Perhaps Woking can lose their last three games........

For those at Solihull tonight, let's play an adjective game. One word to describe our performance (can't be sweary though). I will start.
Shocking

Jay has appeared to be locked into setting up increasingly defensive line-ups in order to shut out the opposition and for the team to minimise goals against.
Resulted in a 0-0 draw against the bottom team in the league but not enough creativity, not enough flair, not enough goals.
So disappointing that players like Turgo, Loza and DSY have proven to be so toothless in front of goal.
I can only imagine that our more skillful and attacking minded players like Coker, Richards, Wraight and Paxman are not exactly looking 'on the money' in training.
With only 3 matches left, let us hope that we see a Stones team selected with a shade more goal scoring intent.
Easy to say !
Remain a great fan of Jay, wishing him and the team all the best for the run in of games.

I thought we were unlucky on Saturday, however tonight I’m not quite sure how the team was supposed to be set up, I presume it was defensive and maybe catch them on the break, well that went out of the window after conceding, the team looked disinterested and apart from Worgan and Lewis who tried there best the rest were woeful at best, absolutely no ideas, Jay obviously thought it was a load of shite as well with the 2 early substitutions he made at half time unfortunately it was too little too late, the players didn’t even come across at the end of the game with the exception of Lewis and Worgan who you could see were disappointed, the only positive is that Woking lost but that’s of little comfort with Fylde due into town on Saturday, thank god I only have one more away game to suffer at Chester To not even come across at the end of the match sums up my view of the team . Most already know they are heading away at season end. To be honest Worgan and Lewis are really the only ones who have any passion for the stones who were on the field add Pax and Richards who didn’t even make the bench .

Looking at it, I think Jay has lost the dressing room. To be fair we are orchestrators of this to an extent, when you have a lot of players on loans who aren't actually belonging to your club what really in the end is there to motivate them or have any deep caring?
We need to build a team that doesn't change every few months, every season, and then we might see a bit more unity and togetherness. The performance of this game reminded me a bit of when your really days away from leaving a job to go onto something else, so f*ck it why need to bother?

Well after the trip up there, and then having to sit through a really dire performance from the team my son and I did the normal thing an had a meal before the journey home, and to cap off a really poor evening I got a damn puncture on the motorway, my only consolation is that I,m almost out of away games to go to for this season, I have vowed not to be drawn into all the negative posts on here for one reason only, and it,s this. No matter what league we end up in and no matter what manager we end up with, I will always be a Maidstone United fan so there ends my post.

Not really fair to say that loan players cannot be motivated or care After all, the loan signings last year transformed our season, with a certain Lewis amongst others, being outstanding. We regularly hear about the positive atmosphere amongst players and team spirt, so has Jay really lost the dressing room ?Too early to jump to that conclusion even after last night's performance, but time will tell, Saturday is now massive for club. Still very confident that Jay will be with us next season, together with those players he wishes to retain.

What a bad timing to produce our worse preformaces of the season. I was shocked how we simply couldn't keep the ball against a average opposition. Either we have seven or eight players totally out of their depth or thay are not interested. Either way its Jay iam afraid that must own this current situation because after that it's hard to see how we can stay up.

Too early to jumps to conclusions after latest performance? Cannot agree with that, the signs have there for all to see for too long now.

I’m worried about who Jay is thinking of keeping regardless of which division we end up in next year! The way he is setting his team up recently with so many one trick ponies it we will not win games in the National South! You can use a very defensive lineup when you have an attack that is able to score on the break! You just can’t expect players like DSY to score with even less chances than he has been given to score all season with an attacking lineup! Since Boringwood away when we played defensively and looked solid Jay has set up like it since, but the goals on the break just haven’t happened. This is probably why Jay has come in for so much criticism. His apparent lack of willingness to try other players or formations and just try something different is frustrating to say the least! Change in the summer please, keep Jay, but he needs to be open to changing his tactics and clear out and start a fresh with a massive number of the squad. Please don’t build a team around Jay Reason or DSY 🙏🏻

JB, go and see a doctor quickly because you seem to have reached the 'I turn up because it is habitual' stage. You have now started to join the likes of me, Tim, Moley, Stainese, La Femme, Stoneslive etc etc. We are beyond redemption or help...you may be saveable...just!

We missed some real sitters and their keeper made a few good saves and we hit the woodwork a couple of times. The most concerning thing about Tuesday in Solihull was that a similar formation couldn't create a single opportunity on goal. There was a Wynter header in the second half which the keeper caught and the slice by one of their players which the keeper caught about ten yards out from goal, other than that their keeper could of had a nap in the goal area (although he might have stood up to watch the only entertainment we had all game in the second half with bayly's impromptu x-factor audition).
