Actually, most that were still there joined in mutual applause with the players. It was a bit strange to see Jack Richards step of the bench and wander towards the Genco, before stopping and wondering to himself whether they were going to bother to go over and applaud an empty stand. It was a poor result no doubt, but a good performance in most departments (barring the ones that count) - not particularly motivational for the players though to see that about 1500 of the crowd had left before the final whistle - it's not even as if it was a boring game. Thought we were the better side throughout, everywhere but their box. Punished by a clinical strike force for 3 mistakes, but for three quarters of the game we ran them ragged, and only the same old lack of quality in the final third let us down. Considering two of our attacking four were a bloke who scored for fun last year and a player reputed to have been D&R's best striker when he came to us, it's odd that we couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo. Yep. So good they were allowed to come to us...

There lies the problem. Why do free scoring strikers seem to lose any confidence or belief to hit the net when they come here? Bring on Richards and Philpott at the Darts and then put whoever of the two does best at Princes Park as a starter at the Orient alongside either Robinson or Romain and the one who doesn't shine against Darts goes on the bench with Robinson or Romain. At least that competition for places up front may inspire Romain and Robinson to find the net!

Need a player like Yemi in and around the box, his off the ball nounce was brilliant. It's very tight in the final third at the Gallagher, with the opposition digging in, and hitting on the break, Yemi was the type of player that always looked like he could create something in tight areas. As Simon Walton said, if the Stones had taken an early lead against the Daggers, it would have been a different match. A Yemi type of player provides that bit more of an opportunity to score first.

And yet he's plying his trade 2 divisions down at Weymouth does that mean he is not good enough for this level or does it mean he just wants to play? My guess is the latter a man who wants to play football and is not to worried about the money,if we go down we could do worse than bringing him be k to the fold.

A player LIKE Yemi, maybe!
