Post-Match Thread and Ratings Wealdstone FC 1-1 Southend Utd.

[RHB]

Yet another very late goal conceded. Luckily we equalised even later. Not pretty, but still got a point. You know what to do, and please play nicely whatever your view.

**** me that was painful to watch. Slow, tired and boring for 90 minutes with both teams playing like pub teams but somehow worse.

Hopefully just tiredness on our part with the 2 games a week

Not sure I could pick a man of the match. Walker I guess because he actually did something.

Two hour journey after watching that ****… last away game for a while!

 

[Ealingshrimp]

How many games does Bonne need to get match sharp? Because he very much is not yet.

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

Just simply absolutely ****ing awful AGAIN if any clown thinks this is ****ing acceptable or good or part of the process honestly needs their ****inf head cut open and their brains scooped out with a spoon … if this is actually us form now on then I’m done … this is simply ****ing awful

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

Walker getting a goal could be the biggest and best thing out of tonight

 

[Shrimper]

Two dropped points. Not good enough. Yet to see anything in Bonne. No Ralph or possibly Taylor on Saturday. Drop Bridge.

 

[Tinks]

Jeez, that was painful

KAF, Pepple, Walker 7
Bridge Husin Moncur Bonne 5

Glad to come away with a point in the end.

That last minute equaliser doesn’t take away from how utterly, utterly **** we were though. I felt that we were incredibly complacent in that first half & looked shattered in the second.

Wealdstone were equally terrible - if not worse - but such was the level of our performance we didn’t deserve to beat them. Neither team deserved to win. In fact, neither team deserved anything from tonight.

As for their goal, two free headers inside the box & Colin beaten to a header from 6-yards out is simply inexcusable. We are so disjointed at the back, and once again it’s cost us.

Happy to see Walker back. He’ll replace Bonne soon enough & I think him and Pepple will work well together. I don’t want to dig Bonne out too much, but he is still miles off the pace of the game, which is hugely concerning.

Moncur & Noor looked about as sharp as a play-doh knife. Bridge got some time and space in the second half, which made him look more dangerous than he was.

Pep and Morton were the pick of the bunch for me.

Consistently inconsistent. Onto Saturday where we’ll probably run Gateshead ragged & win comfortably.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Don't think I'll bother with a prediction for Sat.

back line looked comfortable for 89 minutes then Mr reliable goes off and we go to pot , Colin had a good night until the goal

Midfield kept the ball well without doing any damage , Bridge had a decent 10 minute spell, not enough forward passes

Bonne - I’m just not seeing anything at the moment and Walker showed more desire to get into dangerous areas in his cameo

Nil points would of been a horrendous result so I suppose a point is a positive though we do need to massively improve if we are to put a challenge in ,I feel the balance and tempo is wrong ATM and needs addressing

5s all round except

Morton 7

Pepple 6

 

[PIERS]

Slow slow .. er. Slow slow … slow. . It’s Wealdstone ffs. They should be playing canvey
It’s not even the result, it’s the tedious fannying around. It’s almost unwatchable.

Lucky to get a point against probably the worst side we've encountered this year. Both teams deserved to lose, if there was ever such a thing.

 

[leeblue]

1st half so tedious, so lacklustre, sloppy.
Then kev made the change and got Morton on...this was a good move. We started passing quicker and more accurately, got players going forward, started to build pressure, to be fair it took a fantastic save from forsons lob to prevent us taking the lead.
Rubbish goal to concede but credit to the lads....and a little taster of what we have been missing and what is to come, WALKER will score goals be in no doubt. He has been a massive miss. He'll put the ball in the net to rather than the others who don't.

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

Who wants to play judge us aftter10 games ?

 

[PIERS]

How many games does Bonne need to get match sharp? Because he very much is not yet.

Let’s wait till he gets a decent pass on the front foot. Say early December

 

[onceknownasrab]

Woeful. Inexcusable. A big change needs to be made and I, despite being a Maher fan, would lose no sleep if he went. Good manager but not good enough. This team is capable of way more than it produces and we need someone who will make that happen. Unpopular view I suspect but that's where I am with things.

Hope you at least had a good jolly up mate - you and all the lads who travel week in week out deserve so much better.
