To be fair, he sounded as pissed off as anyone. On the other hand, he wasn't challenged about some of the decisions, or lack of them, from the touchline, so in the end, it was a pretty pointless interview, as many of these immediate post game ones are. What would be interesting would be to know why we persist with the same strategies for set pieces, when they clearly don't work, either in defence or attack. Likewise why our game plan continues to be little more than hoof ball, be it immediate, or after 5, 10, 15 cross field passes, because that doesn't work either, largely because the opposition have us sussed out and know we don't have a Plan B. Hence, if they don't make a mistake, we don't score, let alone win.

There was only one team going to win that in the end. H&R had the desire ,we didnt. 90 mins we have a corner Amaluzor has the ball by the flag , he leaves it to Wishart who sauntered over wasting 30 seconds then delivering a piss poor corner. We got what we deserved NOTHING! These are probably the two most talented players in the squad so I think you have picked upon a very important moment. It hints (perhaps says?) that they have lost confidence in the team and the management. Will The Comic Duo now have another clear-out at the end of the year and then ask everyone to accept that their next team will take time to gell? Have they already told the current players that non of them will be retained - like they did last season? Yes, that must have been what they said on 26th January 2019 when the team capitulated against Leyton Orient. Previous to that (and after Harry's sacking) Walton and the other bloke had started to steady the ship for an attempt at avoiding relegation; 7 games: Won 2 in the league, lost 3. Won 1 in the FA Trophy and 1 in the KSC. Enter the Duo; 22 games: Won 2 in the league, lost 11, drew 3. Won 1 in the KSC, drew 4 cup games and lost 1. This season isn't particularly pretty either, with the highlight maybe being the home FA Cup win against Torquay. League 11 wins, 10 lost, 9 drawn. That's with a full-time professional squad and in a lower league. Sword's comment in another post about the fact that it's unlikely that we will be relegated is probably sound when one considers the pub teams below us. But The Duo need to win the next three games to restore some faith. Perhaps, as Nick reminded us, John Still's teams get stronger as the season progresses.

OK so lots of people now saying we should sack the management team we have in place, so lets put some names down all those who want them sacked now put your suggestions forward with suitable managers that have the experience to move us forward plus they are available to join us straight away, dont think that list will be too long. Simon Walton and Jay Saunders

OK, still plenty of games left, but it really is starting to feel like a lost season.
JS2 and HH are not the answer. A load of basement bargain ex-EFL/wanabeEFL players aren't the answer.
Terry promised us a season to give us hope, a seaon of consolidation and rebuilding. I can't see any of this. We're going to start next seson exactly where we started this one - no real progress at all.

You are so right jdl, we need to sack the managers, pay them off, recruit whoever we can get and start again.
Straight-forward enough, surely the owners can see sense ?
Clear to everybody that progress has stalled, we are all entitled to expect better.
C'mon Terry and Oliver, time to sack the managers and let's get back to the NL. Simple.

We haven't won the league by 40 points already and the Maidstone juggernaut is behind all these diddy teams. Definitely sack the managers. It worked so well last year as well.

Strange thing is there are still plenty of players who I would be happy to see at the club next season. Individually mostly decent but put it all together and it doesn't look or feel right. Not so much losing hope now, we have lost it ! Agreed. We have some decent players. We just don’t have decent management. They’re methods are dated and the players just ain’t buying into it. Remember the Naughty 3 getting the sack. Utter bollocks. The players probably sense that the management won’t be here next season and it shows

I didn't actually say that, Nick, but have you a better idea? If we start next season with HH still 'running' the team, in what way will it be any different than this season? A little less sarcasm and angry dismissal of anything you don't like, and a bit more recognition of reality wouldn't go amiss. Did you go today? Did you like what you saw? Do you honestly think it's going to change with the same people in charge? What's your solution?

We played a little better in the first half today. Actually passed it through the midfield a bit which I enjoyed.
Corne, Khan and Temelici is a decent midfield although the latter’s form suggests he might need a week out of the firing line.
We reverted to type after half time. Pumping ball after ball to Ibby, who tries his heart out, and others who are vertically challenged.
I don’t know why we stoop to this tactic so early, it doesn’t suit our players.
Amaluzor is a funny player. When he gets the ball, he invariably does something worth paying to watch, but in between that he watches the game, like I do. I can see why he frustrates the managers.
Marshall is improving at the back. I like the look of him.
Johnson looks like he did at the start of the season....working at 100% just to not look out of his depth. Hope he finds the form he had pre-injury.
Wish muddied the water (especially second half) with Watters. Got in his way. Think he is a great winger, not the best LB.
As for the calls for sackings....laughable. These fans obviously have their premier league teams and are sucked into the need for instant success. This level is not about sacking a management team when you are 9th or 10th or whatever we are.
SUPPORT YOUR TEAM.
