We have lost two games all season, some of the games have been dyer, some have been average and some we have played well. People need to take a chill pill reading some of the drivel on here. In fact the Leiston thread I am surprised people are still adding to it!
Last season we got promoted this season we are top.
Still in the FA Trophy beating one of the best teams in the Division, league cup and Kent cup.
This is for the numpties who I think havent even looked at the table yet.
League Table P W D L F A +/- Pts 1 Maidstone United 15 10 4 1 36 14 +22 34 2 Kingstonian 16 11 1 4 31 12 +19 34 3 AFC Hornchurch 15 10 3 2 33 17 +16 33 4 Dulwich Hamlet 15 10 2 3 32 16 +16 32 5 Wealdstone 14 8 5 1 33 13 +20 29
However, I did moan about the first half on Saturday as we were outplayed, much better 2nd half. We had two of our main midfielders out and one drafted in at short notice so it was always going to be a struggle.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but its not as though we are struggling is it.
We could be supporting the Gills!!

Well said-I do think we have ramped up expectation this year. Promotion via the play-offs last year was great. Was there a thread where people predicted this seasons finish? If so then I'll bet there was a whole range of thoughts-some of them suggesting top half of table etc.
A good start to the season suddenly appeared to make everyone assume that the playoffs this year were almost a given! And here we are, virtually a third of the way in, and we're still top and people are moaning!
The next couple of months will be tough as the full squad depth will be tested. But that's the same for every club.

This is an open forum where people can come on and express their particular views on Maidstone United, regardless of the fact you may or may not agree with their opinion, the game on Saturday was dire and yes people have moaned about it, that is their rights, they have paid their money and are allowed to their opinions, the fact we are top of league and still in all the cups is irrelevant, everybody who comes through the turnstiles at the Gallaghers expect a performance, unfortunately performances don't always match expectations, hence the reason for people complaining, I was disappointed with the performance on Saturday but am realistic and understand that we won't beat every team that arrives at the Gallaghers, some teams will make it difficult and some thankfully won't, I will heap praise on the team and players when they have played well and put a shift in, I will also moan like hell when they haven't, that's my choice

Actually our position in the league and cups is relevant because perception of how well or badly we played is relative to what we are used to. Had we been on a run of consecutive defeats and in the bottom half of the table most people's views on Saturday's game would have been very different. I also disagree with the blanket statement that the game was dire. The first half was indeed dire, but the second half was a much better performance. As usual though, there are those who think that every team should just roll over and play dead for us.

Dave I can only thank the big fella upstairs that we aren't on a bad run, otherwise there could have been a mass suicide pact after Saturday, I am pretty sure I didn't mention anything in my post about expecting teams to roll over, I also didn't say anything about blankets

I said we played poorly on Saturday because we played poorly on Saturday. This was not a reflection on the rest of the season which has generally been enjoyable with some good performances. However, on Saturday we were outplayed by a team that was in 20th place and were a little lucky to get a point. Am I happy with life with Maidstone United. You bet I am. We are top of the league and have a team that looks capable of beating anyone in the league. Were we rubbish on Saturday. You bet we were.

I found my trip to Chatham FC tonight cathartic. On my return to Maidstone I resolve never to moan again.
I have come to conclusion I have nothing to moan about.

I am quite confused by this moaning tag. If we play well and I comment then I am commenting. If we play poor and I comment then I am moaning. I think that is silly...or am I just moaning?
