I thought Liam Vincent was brought in as an 'over-ready' replacement for JBW.
What went wrong ? The defence has been turned upside down and inside out.

Seems to me that we play a very open game.
The Wrexham manager said as much before the game
He must have been rubbing his hands.
Wrexham fans say that our team is the weakest they have seen for a long, long time.
Embarrassing or what ?

Well it couldn't get any worse and it may just get a lot better.
But if only it ended there, our defensive covering start with the lads upfront and extends through midfield
We have players there at present who would not have held a regular place last season.

Beaten off the park today.
Not remotely competitive.
If the defence was poor what about our midfield ?
We badly need a strong holding midfielder plus proper fb cover.

Seems like we were given a proper football lesson.
Funny thing is quite a few supporters have been questioning the restructuring of the defence this season.
We get told by others to shut-up cause we don't know what we are talking about.
Fair enough, you win !

Terry Harris said how bad he felt after Dorking, how he hated the match and that the team had not performed the Stones way.
Wrexham reports state they found the Stones to be 'luck-lustre', 'easy to dominate', carved the defence open at will'.
So quite a response from the team, By all accounts could have been double figures
Shocking !

Yea, we have grown an unwanted reputation for being cavalier by other clubs.
Its not intended as a compliment.
Disappointing we seem to have gone backwards from last season.
Player injuries which can't be helped
New signings who don't look good enough for this level.
Tinkering with the defensive line-up which has not proven to be a masterstroke

i'm not to bothered about the losses,nothing will be as perfect as last season, but shifting nine goals in two is unacceptable. scored four (plus an og) conceeded eleven after four games is not good

No one is saying Hak out, no one doesn't understand that we are in a tough league and there will be, possibly many, days like this.
We're not idiots. But nor do we have black and amber glasses on.
The facts are that we have shipped nine goals in the last 5 days. And, surely, any fan has the right to be a little worried by that?

Well beaten today, but why are some folks expressing surprise? We should all realise what a big step up this league is. We did ok at Altrincham, including playing half an hour with ten men. We beat York. We matched Dorking for 75 minutes. However, looking at the current table, strongly suspect we are going to struggle against the top half, but ought to be able to match the bottom half. Hopefully, players will learn how to cope better, as will our coaches. Torquay, Aldershot, Gateshead and Solihull coming up next, after which we will have a better idea of where we stand, but for now, suspect that midfield need to become more defensive minded, because the back four are getting overwhelmed too easily.
