[unification]

This only goes to show you how lucky we’ve been with defensive injuries in previous seasons.

We’re down to the youth for those positions now. Worrying.

 

[Leysboy]

This is painful. Oh it’s ok Hanson is on. We will win now.

 

[Malc]

Scum 1-4 down

 

[bazzer9461]

Why do we play the ball back so often and the opposition don’t

 

[bazzer9461]

Cam got away with that one

 

[bazzer9461]

I think he is finding his feet this half, some lovely touches in attacking positions.

But it’s the defence I’m concerned about

 

[Mellowyellow]

Elechi very lightweight

Looks well off the pace.

 

[Mellowyellow]

Don’t think Elechi is ready for the step up yet .

Neither youngsters seem ready for the step up. Poor selection from kr.

 

[bazzer9461]

I’m glad this isn’t a league game, I know chances have to be given to our youngsters but the defence is very worrying tonight

Oh f**k off - this is a perfect game to try them. Doesn’t matter about the result.

Genuine question - would you rather we'd have gone full strength? Already seen Atkinson go off injured

 

[Oxford84]

spasov has scored for woking.

 

[Mellowyellow]

We have 2 fit recognised first team CB's at the club, and kr doesn't seen to think we need cover there. Yet after one injury we may well have to bring on a player who by kr's admission he couldn't find a non league club to send him too. Does kr think we're really believe we're promotion material atm?

 

[Mellowyellow]

I don't really follow. With Atkinson we are at full strength in the middle of defence, with the only 2 fit first team CB's at the club. We should at least be able to put out an experienced second string, without having to resort to throwing in youth to make up the numbers, and covering your back by saying the youth deserve a chance.

We don't have genuine cover for each position in the first 11.

 

[Leysboy]

Haha pen to them. God we are s**t tonight.

 

[bazzer9461]

Never a f*****g penalty

 

[Oxford84]

how the f**k is that a penalty!

 

[Malc]

Never a penalty

Stevens saves a pen ?
