WT the actual F? The management and the players should hang their heads in shame. Gutless, effortless sideways and backwards nonsense. No movement, players on their heels and absolutely no conviction.

Don't worry, the dynamic duo Husin and Miley will be back next week to drive us even further backwards, Maher has got to go.
The Cowleys are on a different planet for passion and tactics, never thought i would say that!
 
Absolutely dismal today and any fan who saids now that we are out of this we can focus on there play offs are going to be disappointed come may we are not making playoffs this was our only chance at a bit of success this season and we blew it cup upsets happen I get that but sittingbourne didn’t play great we just played awful we need to start accepting as a club we are not to big for this league fan base wise all day best fans in the league by a country mile I’d even go as far as saying better than most fans but I honestly feel with the players we have at the moment this is our level for the forseeable we will come again but we’re a few seasons off yet
 
The Zone on meltdown seven days after the ecstasy.
Firstly, I hope GSM is not badly injured. To lose him and Collin longterm in the same week would be a real setback.
BUT have said pretty much all season there are far too many passengers in the squad.
Can't think of one performance where Gubbins got praised throughout. Remind me, someone?
KAF is never going to be a Football League player.
All this about him driving forward at speed is what the French call a trompe l'oeil, a trick of the eye. His legs move fast; he doesn't. A slight upgrade on Terrell at best.
I saw Waldron score a decent winner at Maidenhead last season, but injuries apart, he's not stepped up.
Kendall? He's gonna have to go some to live up the hype.
Coker? Tell me what I'm missing, please.
Bonne? He's the mystery.
He moans he's been given a hard time at various clubs; I'm not surprised if he thinks he can do that in his own box with seconds left at 0-0.
The rest are passable, but compared to say, Barnet, Wrexham, Notts and Stockport in the NL?
Apart from Ralph, because he's been injury free and consistent - who else would have got into any of the above's Championship winning squads?
 
Cup upsets happen, and it results in a bad day at the office for the beaten team and wild celebrations for the victor. They rarely define a season for either team.

The team and coaches will learn from this and move on. We now have a week to get another one or two bodies in, bed in the ones we have signed and get illness out the camp. We’re still three points of the playoffs and the season isn’t over.

None of this Maher out rubbish - let’s still get behind the boys. Days like today happen, it’s how we respond in the league that matters now.
 
Usual issues. A team full of players who rarely find the net, lack of pace, no threat from corners, too many ponderous build ups with sideways and back passes allowing the opponents to easily get into their defensive shape. Kendal looks very much like a player who finds it difficult to bridge the gap between NLS standard and NL. We really are at a low point.
 
When Kevin says he took the game seriously and fielded a side good enough to win, yet after 45mins we'd achieved nothing and looked toothless up front and sh*t scared of driving forward from defence. And we lookedthe same after 50mins and 60 mins and 70 mins you've left it too late to give yourself a fighting chance that any changes might benefit you.
Yes - it was a sloppy error from Bonne but the team style and effort had lost that game long beforehand by not scoring a goal.
Very very disappointing. If I'm honest I don't want us to make the play-offs for I fear our future next season if we do. It's tough but we have to get a team that's stromg enough and a playing style that will put fear in our opponents, instead of allowing them to enjoy a fag and a read while they wait for the ball to come out from our defence or midfield in any attacking way.

PS yet again why are disabled fans made to stand and wait to get out of the only easily accessible exit via the track and North East corner because opposition team members remain on the pitch,. And to add insult to injury, then have to watch the opposition fans load on their coaches parked in the disabled bays while our fans have to struggle to walk up the hill of the car park to reach their vehicle? Stick the coaches up the far side of the car park so they can leave via the top gate and give the disabled their parking facilities back. Come on....sort it out!

I get the point, but Jack was league better and proved it by playing in the Championship: KAF never will.

I may have used a la, incorrectly. We agree, as the intended message was Jack Payne could make up for being a dwarf with how bloody good he could be on the ball
 
Unfortunately I wasn't able to watch the match and had to put up with the commentary. Based on what I heard we again lacked being clinical . Just like Tuesday. If we gave to rely on our strikers to deliver based on the delivery's that they get. This won't be the last time I'll be commenting about it this season.

They do happen, but the manner of this one is depressingly consistent with the problems we've seen this season. It wasn't Sittingbourne playing out of their skin or getting a winner amidst a host of chances for us. We couldn't break down a low block (again), the finishing was poor when we did get chances (again), and we backed off towards the end letting them create pressure which led to the goal (again). If we can't address those issues it will absolutely impact our league campaign.
