A game we could really do with winning, especially as there are plenty to come where we have little or no chance. The so called six pointers are a bit of a lottery too, so a win to start the new year would be very nice.
Please.

So, who is the home side here? One fluffed Barham breakaway apart, we seem to have spent most of the time in our own half. We are also making Dagenham look good - which they aren't.
Shake em up Hak!

Hope I'm wrong, but on the basis of today, we are going down. No lack of effort, but we are just not good enough.
The defence did ok for once, but seems the ref got two key decisions wrong in the first half - ruling out their goal and denying Daggers a penalty.
We were better in the second half, but simply cannot see where our next goal is coming from, unless it is a Booty penalty. We played some neat stuff at times, but unless there is a major change somewhere, be it finding a couple of classy players or ( whisper it quietly) a change of management, I can't see where we are going to get enough points from our remaining games.
The report says JB-W's looked nasty and might be an Achilles, which if so, only compounds our problems further.

Another very dull performance from the Stones and could easily have lost by 4 or 5. The Daggers penalty claim was justified,definitely a penalty in my book. The disallowed goal would have stood more often than not on any other day. They hit the bar and forced our keeper into a few fine saves and we did nuffink.Having played 2 or 3 more games than those teams above us we are now firmly entrenched in the bottom and even my most optimistic head on I cannot see us surviving. We are just not good enough it's that simple. I am sure the call for Hak to go will have gained more volume after today, question is, is it loud enough for Terry and Oliver to take notice of? I noticed Hak avoided an after match interview with BT Sports unless it's usual policy to ignore the losing manager

The penalty decision for me is understandable as the ref had a clear view and with that angle it looked like the player went down too easily and - for me - with very little contact. The disallowed goal was more mystifying as there was no contact although the player who missed the contact could be argued to be interfering with play. Al Murray has some questions to answer there.
What annoyed me though was the commentators banging on about the standard of refereeing being poor. It was like it was the first time they had even heard of the concept. Not once did they mention how the salaried “professional” officials would have had VAR to help them. Perhaps they were getting a lift home on the Daggers’ bus?

No complaints about the result. Only Fowler & Barden prevented it being a much heavier defeat.

Hak is losing the plot re subs. Brought on two forwards when winning at Dorking..we lose..took off two of our best players today...they score and win.

Is it a time for a change in management? Hak seems to have lost the plot.

Not a good display today in front of cameras and a good crowd.
Some players def under-performing.
Disappointing substitutions too.
Deserved no more than zero points

Effort was there, probably a contest where we were at 49% and they were 51%.
Fine margins which is what this league is.
We are not going to be able to significantly change the squad so do we change the manager.
We have been short on players with injuries all season, but I’m not sure with all of them fit we will earn enough points!
I think the step up in standard is clear by just watching Barham alone. Last year he would bang in 3 and today other than his one in one he didn’t get close to scoring.
My opinion is make a change with a new manager.
I just want to be in this league next year with Gravesend and the scum 🙏🏻

Nil points again and bottom of the form league.
Team not playing that badly in truth, just not quite good enough.
Seem to lose a lot of matches by the odd goal.
But there can be no complaints today.
Hak has done well at times with his substitutions, but NOT today.

People will just bang on about how many injured players he has but when you make decisions like taking Lawson off for Corne you should accept the stick you get. Lawson was one of a few decent players who can turn defence into attack. Galvin never seem to have a bad game but always the first to come off. When you have no defenders on the bench you take off a player who can play in defence and then we get an injury. Crazy decisions. |
