Sham 24

[pwoodstone]

A weakened side that should still have enough to win this game.

Horsham played well and deserve their lead. We’ve been better last 15.

Can’t help but think we have under estimated them or are just not quite at
it. Not only in the team selection but the players on the pitch playing at 80%.

Either way, second half we need to do something we are not very good at - score more than one goal...

[jdl]

Shambles. Utter f**king shambles. Four of our best players missing and we can't defend and can't attack. 35 minutes before we had a shot on goal. 40+ minutes before we got our first corner.

Their no 10 is causing is all sorts of problems. But it's not just him - they're really up for this, and George is treating it like a KSC game.

Blair and Corne on at half time, or we're buggered.

I was just about to say the same one Corne and Blair needed asap. Players that are normally on the bench given a chance and none have done themselves any favours IMHO.

Strange. Blair is benched.

Loda not in the squad

Southend, Oldham etc will be less interested in Harry if he is cup tied

I agree with JDL.
If Blair not on for Shaq and Cornedog for Bivesh then we really don’t want to win this. Very disappointing first half.
45 minutes to put things right.

Btw Georgevso far this is a 5/10 performance at best.

True, we need to make sure we receive that million pound transfer fee

[OldBoy73]

Going down with a whimper so far not looking like NLS at all.

A bit of brilliance needed

2-0

Oh dear. Sounds like we've never really been in it.

In George we trust 🥴🥴🥴🥴

We've been absolutely outplayed by a team who are 15th in the league below us. Embarrassing

Stones tv commentator called our last minute efforts crap live on air and also used words poor and shocking.
One shot on target and that a penalty.
Shockingly bad.

One of those games. One of those weeks.

Gonna be some disgruntled fans (mainly ones not here I might add)

The starting XI is just about good enough to keep us in contention, but once again, the squad depth is letting us down. It’s been painfully clear for a while that we’re woefully short of goals from the forwards. For all the graft and effort they put in, we just don’t have that cutting edge up top, and it’s cost us our place in the cups.

The StonesMail newsletter mentioned two signings on the horizon, and I can only hope one of them is one of those “unicorn” prolific strikers who somehow become available midseason. Currently, I just don’t see where the goals are coming from if Blair becomes unavailable. 

The league is unforgiving, and if we don’t address this quickly, we risk undoing all the hard work the team has put in so far.
