Five minutes to kick off and less than a thousand here for sure. Estimate 800 at best, with currently only 200 in main stand.

Davis having a nightmare. Pathetic penalty to give away and looks a basket case every time the ball comes his way. No WDH, today, so not great for next season! And Lewington puts the ball straight out...

We look atrocious. Highlight of the game is a beachball

Pretty dire first half. Midfield shapeless and useless. Very little action. Nil entertainment. Support decent in the circumstances. Hope HH gives the team a rocket. My guess on attendance 1,850.

As poor a first half as you could not wish for. The two worst teams and we are comfortably second. One would assume that if you play Richards and Embrey (ok so far), you expect to catch Braintree on the break, so Davies giving away a penalty in the first minute not the brightest start. Their player running away from goal at the time, so he sticks a leg out for him to fall over and he duly obliges. Need to spend money somehow widening the pitch in the summer, for we sure as hell can't keep the ball in play at the moment. Turgott looks bored, Davies awful and Taylor - well with little football on offer, I decided to watch what he does and so far, it is not a lot and much of that not very good. Where do we go from here? At the moment, get rid of everyone without a contract and start again.

How the frigging hell can Romain slip on the turf in front of goal, no rain or sod all to make it slippery, today was total garbage, we are where we deserve to be in the league this season. stone cold bottom. Chuck the whole lot out an start again from nothing.

Please Hakan, don't come on the radio and make excuses for this performance.
Surely it must rival anything this season for being the worst ever.
Absolutely pathetic.
Against relegation fodder, the only decent football came from a very average bunch of Braintree's academy players.
Taylor, Muldoon and Powell, once again just going through the motions in midfield.
Shocking effort by Davies.
Was young Richards really on the pitch for 90 minutes ? He was hopeless throughout.
Not good enough, any of them.
Gives the rest of the team no chance.
Mr Still, for all our sakes, don't take prisoners with this bunch of under performers.
What a waste of an afternoon

Reading the glowing reports about the players must give them a real boost to put in a performance for this club also knowing that they won't be ask to stay next year. This year has been a total shamble with managers and players coming & going ! ... Next year could be the same as we haven't got a clue who will be here !!

The two worst sides in the league and they were miles better. You know it's bad when the players come over and applaud before the game, because they know most will have left before the end.

Where do we go from here? At the moment, get rid of everyone without a contract and start again. The pitch requires a safe distance between the touch line and barriers, the ground is just too small to widen the pitch and it’s not easy to just move the lines like a grass pitch!! We are one of the only teams in the National league that can’t keep the ball on the pitch! One hopes that Still is building a squad with the pitch in mind! 🤞🏼 I expect to be underwhelmed by some of our signings in the summer, but I shall be nothing less than pissed off if any of this squad not already contracted get signed. Utter crock of shi...

This year has been a total shamble with managers and players coming & going ! ... Next year could be the same as we haven't got a clue who will be here !! Do we really want any of the current squad to stay for next year. The better than average ones will be gone as soon as they get an offer an the rest are not worth keeping, I honestly thought we would get at least a point today but we could of stayed on the pitch all weekend and we still would not score a goal. Braintree must be wondering how we manage to be worse than them. HH just does not seem to have an idea on how to change things around, maybe the club need to think is it better to have two men in charge rather than one. Personally I have never been a fan of joint managers. Only good thing about today is it,s another game closer to the end of the season.

Where are those who repeatedly said give Richards and Embery a chance, what have we got to lose?
We gave them a chance, we lost.
Not saying it was their fault but in a bucket load of mediocrity they, particularly Richards, failed to shine.

Didn’t go today, first home game missed this season, so can’t comment. But reading other posters it seems to be the same shit home ‘ performance ‘. Apart from maybe Solihull, performances away have been more entertaining not necessarily result wise but at least trying. At home they are just clueless

Not saying it was their fault but in a bucket load of mediocrity they, particularly Richards, failed to shine. There was not a single player today who was worthy of a place in next years squad, Richards like the others failed to ignite the game in anyway, but if he is to be dropped for that then we would have to drop the entire team. What enfuriates me is at the next home game they will all be huddled in the middle of the pitch expecting us to applaud them an even vote for one of them to win an award. Well maybe we should all abstain from electing a player of the year, maybe then the management will finally realise just how fed up we all are.
