Absolute rubbish... No heart, no passion, just 11 players happy to take the money.

Maybe time for Andy to look at himself rather than the wholesale changes that we are seeing recently.

What on earth has happened, is there something behind the scenes that has gone on here or something? Go back just one month and we've just beaten a promotion contender in a solid performance worthy of champions, we're 4 points clear at the top of the table going into the KL match with a chance of extending that further and 82% of this forum (including myself) believe we're going to finish the season as champions. Now we find ourselves on a dire 4 match losing streak and in very real danger of not even making the playoffs, what the f word has happened :blink:

The players we've brought in recently clearly have the right pedigree to be successful at this level judging by their experience, but you can't just bring in all these new players and play with an almost completely different team at this stage of the season and it really showed today, by the time we get this team to gel and get into some kind of rhythm again it could be too late, it was a dreadful display against a dreadful team of cheats and thugs, how their number 8 wasn't sent off with those 2 reckless challenges I have no idea, but I won't blame the officials as poor as they were today.

Northwood next week is absolutely vital again, win and I think we will finish in the top 5. Lose again though, and I think we'll miss out on the playoffs altogether unfortunately.

Oh my god!! That was bad REALLY BAD. I honestly believe our UCL team would of won that game. We have on paper very very good players but together they are so bad it's unreal.

What I would like to happen is for the players to apologise! To at least show so passion . I will be looking on Twitter to see if we have any of them players which doesn't hide and let others (peaksy) take the blame. I know it's not going to achieve anything

Nope didn't make that game. What I'm getting at is that you should never just presume, especially with football and especially not this club. If your looking for the players to apologise you'll be looking for a long time, although some players like jack Ashton who do give a shot may well do. As I've already said before, peaks is building a side for next season as promotion is out the window

But couldn't do enough to to been a weak Uxbridge side. Slightly unfair to but blame on new faces I know, not
But I think your wrong with bossed it. Although I'm feeling that your post may have been somewhat sarcastic?
I was of course having a laugh.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

Personally, I don't think we deserved to lose but equally we didn't deserve to win, thought a draw would have been a fair result.

Was impressed with Elliott Sandy, and it looks like we have a decent left back in Jason Lee.

I think we severely miss Sam Brown, and Bunts

I really don't like to keep moaning about officials, but today's referee and linesman on Dales Bar side were awful, probably among the worst referee's I've ever seen officiate a R&D game!!! And we've seen some stinkers like Coffey, and Salisbury etc

I think we've been spoiled somewhat this season. I've said it before, but we don't have a divine right to win every single game.

In regards to officials, I really do think the FA really need to look at how they appoint officials in non-league.
They need to appoint former players or at the very least they have some kind of background in football. It was clear today's referee had never played a game of football in his life!

Anyway, onward and upward, hopefully we can get a win against Northwood.

We've been very poor over the last month, and need to buck up are ideas, now, right now, otherwise we will miss out on the play offs.

Thought the referee was poor today.

We need a good performance Saturday at home to Northwood, and get the 3 points.

As for midweek fixtures it would be nice to see Aylesbury, Egham and Northwood to drop points. :biggrin:
