Interesting test away on Saturday and too early in the season for meaningful comparisons. Bath got a 3-3 at Dartford last Saturday, not bad at all, while we only conceded because of a terrible deflection and our new keeper looked untroubled otherwise. George says he never loses, only learns. Well, he knows that Corne, Hoyte and Wanju-Smith started well last week, but there were others who didn't, so guess he will be looking for improvements throughout the team. Let's hope they can build on that first win and come away with at least a point.

Wicked deflection indeed if only he'd been 2 feet taller he might have saved it.No supporters coach running so the barmy army may be short on numbers tomorrow, a sad state of affairs, probably a reflection on last year's form . I couldn't go because of a prior engagement which has annoyingly been cancelled and so will make a last minute decision at 06.00 tomorrow whether to splash out £50 on the train journey. I'll take a draw tomorrow but a win would be awesome. A defeat will only serve as an early season wake up call for the George out brigade. Happy travels to those that are going COYS!

They started well. We came back into it. They scored a well worked goal and then dreadful defending for a second. Sol missed a pen and then should’ve scored (not sure if it was a good save or bad header). At 2-0 we looked all over the place for a minute.
I’d say they’ve deserved their lead but we can come back.

Dreadful defending you say, there's a surprise when 3 of the 4 at the back conceded 100 goals last season. Why are we losing to a team whose keeper is shorter than ours. Grovergreen said we'd be OK with a 6'4" keeper.☹

I can hear the "George out" boys singing but is one of them a fat lady?

Well that sounded bloody awful, we created pretty much nothing.

After half time that was that. No real plan, certainly no plan B.
I think we might need to accept a mediocre season this time.

Don’t forget though we’re a better team now without Jerome & Luque ……Absolute joke !

Come on don’t panic we could still go on to be champions and this could be just a blip - or it’s a yo yo performance from a mid table yo yo team………..or worse………..no-one can tell yet. It is however a result George is far more use to and the seemingly lack of fightback when behind is not uncommon from his teams, either. We shall see.

A day for seeking crumbs of comfort elsewhere? Fleet lost, as did Slough (to Dover). And Worthing top the league - anything to do with Luque?
