Barf had a new striker who looked like an upfront version of Stuart Lewis. were from? Dunno but he is exactly what we have lacked for years. His goals (nos 1 and 2) fired up the rest of the Barf team and flattened our mood. That’s what I think happened.
After the match, the Stones fans treated the lads to a Booing chorus. One or two players started to walk towards us, and others joined them, applauding the fans who had made the trip. George followed, with a look on his face that spoke volumes; unfortunately I don’t read him all that well so I don’t know precisely how to interpret it but I’d not like to meet it up close and personal.
He listened to some of the calls and comments but decided not to respond - in any way. He then walked away. Wisely I think.
Honestly, I don’t think anyone in Maidstone colours distinguished themselves yesterday. Best forgotten.

We are booing (already)?! Ffs all those that think they're true supporters doing these away trips can just do one, how is booing, supporting the team?

I don’t mind people booing if they want to. They’ve paid their money they can do what they want.
It’s just another symptom of the complete entitlement of a number of our fan base. They are the big crowds and think that we should be winning every week. Unfortunately football just isn’t like this.

People booing and people panicking after 2 games,unbelievable Jeff. When we are knocked out of the Fa Cup,the Fa Trophy and the Kent who really gives a f**k Cup then look at the table, if we're top half then the playoffs will be in reach,if we're bottom half then maybe a few boos and a bit of panic may be in order.For now,as Meerkat says,support the f**king team.

Very poor show from some supporters.
Best stay away please.
Was it a disappointing performance at Bath ?
Yes, forget the excuses.
After the ok performance v Sluff it wasn't great.
Do I feel a bit deflated ?
Yes, tbh

GE's record since he assembled his own team: won 1, lost 1. Pretty average for the first two games of a new season, with a team that is still settling in, and is probably still under construction. Anyone who's knows anything about the current NS would never have expected us to do well at Bath two games in. A disappointing result, yes, especially with the lack of goals and the defensive errors, but still some way from relegation! There's a lot of people on here who really need to take a serious look at themselves. Didn’t GE bring in his own people to add to those he inherited in NS as well? Like Marshall? His overall record as our Manager is a fact and there are a lot of people choosing to totally ignore that who really need to take a serious look at themselves. That’s probably why the boos in Barff. Personally had I been there I wouldn’t have done that and don’t think it was the right thing to do but I totally understand why it happened. It’s going to be a difficult season. |

Perhaps you should volunteer to take his place? |

Haven't been to the first 2 games as been out the country but no surprise GE is still stinking up the place with his tactics from last season even with a new crop of players. Why in his interview does he keep referencing 'management team' for making all the decisions in regards to the team and tactics? It's like he doesn't want to take the blame directly himself, sick and tired of the excuses and waffle from this guy.

I think he is trying to say they are all in it together - win, lose or draw. However, ask the right questions and you might get better answers. Like:
Ok George, losing 3-0 not the best result, but firstly what positives will you take from this? Who played well and why?
What went wrong and what are you going to do about that to try and avoid it on Tuesday?
What areas of the pitch do you think we need to improve on in the coming games?
What were the main differences from the game with Slough? Good and bad?
What will be the main challenges at Braintree on Tuesday?
Asking questions, especially challenging ones, isn't easy - especially with a potentially intimidating figure like George. However, keep the questions open, non confrontational or accusatory and you might get a better insight into what goes on behind the scenes. And if you don't, then you know things aren't right.

You don’t like George. But your comments are way over the top and it’s starting to sound personal. It’s one poor performance, we’re only two games in and you’ve already written off the whole season. |

Its 2 poor performances, played to the same tactics as last season under George. they played crap and just keep going long. Its awful to watch. if some feel like they want to boo it, thats fine. |

Tbh i have felt a bit underwhelmed by the 180 minutes so far.
Glass about 50% full after match 1 and now after match 2, probably around 40% full.
Stones are not about middle of the table in this league, we need to be better than that.
Nothing to get excited about and nothing to get depressed or critical about yet.
5 matches in is very early days, 10 matches in should be the time to make some judgements as to how the season is shaping up
