How did we manage to lose that? Embarrassing, shameful even. One penalty in seven attempts. Pathetic. Hopefully, just another visit to Chelmsford to forget, but not sure if there were any positives today, this team should have easily beaten that side. Buggerbuggerbuggerbuggery At one point we had 6 successive corners and we lined up exactly the same each time until the taker decided to hoof the last one 20ft above everyone's head. Surely after the first 2 or 3 didnt work you would have another option but it seems not. We were all over them 2nd half and produced f**k all. To early in the season to moan at length as I had actually predicted 5/12 points and we have 7/12. Time will tell now if we can keep the squad together or will the budget be slashed,I am sure we will soon find out.

We lose because we can't score from penalties - definite pattern here. Hak needs to sort it out, it could be critical by May.
Having said that, if we are as good as I think we are/could be, then we should be putting games like this to bed, and not relying on pens.

Need to get the psychologist in as it looks like confidence has become a problem in this area, and could easily spread to other areas of their game.

Did you see Hak when Amaluzer stepped up to take the pen? He walked away from the dugout head in hands and faced the other way. It was if he knew what would happen. Every player should be able to take a decent pen at this level so it is harsh to blame the manager. It seems to be a total loss of confidence. Time to give other players a chance.

Having missed both penalties I was actually unaware we had them as I only turned on when someone texted me to say it was free on You Tube, another 2 missed pens,SHOCKING!!!!

Should've all come down to the Gallagher and watched a very entertaining game and a comfortable (in the end) 3-1 win. At a rough estimate I would say there were a good 250 Stones fans present.

I was in too much pain to go anywhere unfortunately but will definitely catch a game sooner rather than later.

Just listened to Hak's post match interview. He was gutted. Wern't we all ! Rightly so, this was 3 points lost against a pretty average team. On the day we easily did enough to win. At least we're looking more than half decent. Not a bad performance despite the result. As long as we don't make this a habit

Points are not everything. They only matter in the short term Better to play decently and lose Than play badly and steal 3 points
