Away yesterday so not able to watch the match but according to my mates we pretty equalled Ebbsfleet for much of the time, except for the usual.
Maybe the 'truth' is somewhere between the rather differing views of frenchtone and daveu !
We nearly always manage to concede a goal or two without too much difficulty and fail to take decent scoring opportunities ourselves.
Not rocket science. JS knows there needs to be a clear out at the end of the season and the club will start again with a new look squad.

Don't mind if we get penalised for an obvious foul, but many of them given against us were not. Obvious that is. And we are far too naive to be devious and get away with it. Jake Embrey has already been noticed and gets grappled when he can be caught, but the daftest one for me was when one of their defenders climbed all over one of our players, completely flattening in the process and the ref gave a free kick to Fleet, presumably because he thought he was backing in. Sums up what a fuckwit the ref was. For me Embery does struggle against big defenders.Looks like a boy against men.Yes he is mobile.But looking on website how does a 20 mins appearence warrant him being top of the MOM votes. Must have a big family??

The Ebbsfleet fans on Facebook were a charmless lot last night as expected...

He didn't run rings around them and score either.Yes the lad has potential but its potential.1 good game against Havant( who were poor) and everybody things they have signed Shearer.Unfortunately as yesterday showed there is NOBODY doing there job in the final third.got to take chances.

Christ it will always be potential if he doesn’t play!! 1 start 1 goal isn’t it? Nobody is saying he is a world beater but he is here next season so let’s see what he can do.

He might well have scored yesterday if it wasn't for an appalling refereeing decision. He was through on goal and the ref blew for a Stones free kick, unbelievable.

Embery is exactly what we need. He doesnt appear to struggle to me. Perhaps some fans would prefer a 'unit' like Mullins?

Embrey seems smarter than the average Stones player, both footballing and generally. He has the all important additions of skill and pace, so as he gets used to playing at higher levels, he will learn how to avoid the Neanderthals. He is actually capable of benefitting from the current long ball technique too, because pace will always worry defenders. Could well have scored yesterday, but for the B in the B.

So the answer to the segregation problems is to give away fans the town end and all the best facilities, including the pie hut, the burger bar and the club shop. Sheer idiocy. If the morons can't learn to behave, give them life bans. We don't want scum like that ruining the club's reputation. And make the away section all ticket for all local derbies. Blimey you do jump to conclusions lol. What Barney said.

On the first occasion he had a run against the Neanderthal with the blue neck (their number two) he left him for dead and almost scored. I’d have given my right arm to have seen Fatboy palm the ball into his own goal, which almost did !

Gods sake give the kid a chance, he has been brought in to have an impact next season not save this season for us, he is a young lad playing in a big boys league he needs to build his upper body strength during close season, then with a little help he will develop into a very good striker in the NLS.

Don't know why? except no f*cker get's by him!

Throwing bottles, overcrowding, arguments Re overcrowding, he said/she said...I cannot wait for the axe to fall. The National League has been largely unenjoyable from start to finish!

I think the entire squad should be given an extended summer holiday starting this week, just concede the remaining fixtures now for all of our sanity
