Just looked into it, the last time we beat a Kent team in a league game was over 3 seasons ago. Why are we so bad in local derbies?? Maybe our large crowds home and away give the opposition a boost to kick our arses!! Maybe we know we are crap at them

Still s record so far is appalling. Yes, he inherited a team which wasn t his last season but come on. 2 games, 2 losses? If he doesn t start getting results soon the directors will have no option. Hmm let me see: - Pre-season the boss says that the squad will need a bit of time.
- Season doesn't start too well.
- Some fans go into melt-down.
Seems to me nigel that you need a bit of 'hope'.

From watching the game tonight there was enough in this team to convince me a mid table finish should be the lowest return. We had some good spells but two things aren't happening at the moment. We aren't clicking up front with the final ball off and we are still making dreadful mistakes at the back. John will get it right and the more they play together the better they will get. Starting to agree with other posters about Pennell, no way a left back. Edwards lead our line this season, utterly useless. Sorry sdg we were poor against a side who themselves will struggle to hold down a mid-table position .If this is the squad our budget will allow we are in deep trouble

Hello boys and girls here I am sitting in the plough and anchor in Welling having just watched probably as big a pile of shite as I have ever seen. Edward's, Allen and the 7 would struggle to get in Greenwich Boroughs South Eastern Counties team. Edward's is so bad it is unbelievable. Corne would struggle to hold down a place with the Snoddies. Big George looksunfit but still looks better than the rest our back 4. Rob Swaine ,MOTM, looked a whole different player than he did for us. Assuming no.8 was Khan he fluttered in and out of the game but I think I would persevere with him. Our Starman Amaluzor was starved of the ball especially the first half. Right we are only 2 games into the new season but tonight we struggled against a Welling side who will not challenge for the title because they aren't good enough but we made them look better than they were. Not sure if Hungerford held on for their win but they will have the confidence to beat us on Saturday and we could find ourselves bottom. Mention it quietly p-n-c! So the Ex premier league centre half in his mid thirties is quality, but not very fit and the “risky” signings who “might be good” or “could be good” in the correct team are currently proving to be not quite as good as we hoped!! Probably shouldn’t be surprised, which I’m not, but I was holding out a little hope! 😩

Good to see you forcing yourself to go to football and the pub for the benefit of the rest of us, your sacrifice is appreciated. But it has to be said that your account differs more than a tad from the OS titter feed...

Look on the bright side I still tip England to win the Ashes despite a gutless surrender in the first test and if they do there is no reason we cannot turn it around as well

Oh dear. Things don't sound any better than last season What do you mean.... We switch off and concede a goal and then fail to finish chances at the other end!! Yes it’s much the same we are just doing it against lesser teams! Staying positive tho! 🤞🏼

I cannot sent his record is appalling. I can suggest that the owners will have at least one other option if he doesn’t win soon, to keep faith and support him.

Positives: I thought Khan was good, George at the back was good. Looked very fit to me. Johnson and Hoyte pretty good. Cole did what he had to do well. Khan was very good. Wishart looked Up for it.
Negatives: Pennell looks so poor. Iffy Allen needs to learn to do the right thing at the right time - ie, he will never be strong enough to role his Man or win and shoulder to shoulder. He was shite today.
Justin was ok until he was pushed up top and then he got no space.
MOTM was Swaine and rightly so but why the hell put the ball in the air near him so much. He won every single header. Every one. He was dogshite on the deck as always.
I thought we played ok. Probably better than them for much of it.
Ultimately though, they scored 1 of 3 good chances and 3 half chances and we created one good chance and a few (barely) half chances. Never looked like scoring.

Edwards is not good enough, I thought wishart did really well when he came on, maybe hope they change their mind about him, good player at this level, thought nana k did ok. So we need to sort midfield and up top, easy to say, we've not been played off the park in two games, but struggling to score is a bit of a concern.
