Gurkha streetfood are onsite and ready for service through to the end of the match. So you could even grab yourself something on the way out.

Wellllll, what can you say? It was an "ok" performance that lacked any ideas on how to score a goal. Disappointing not to see the new signing and we take off our two most creative players just in time to bring on the big men up front. Tremendous! 
Once again we go with one up front, a tactic that hasn't really worked all season so far, but someone's obviously living in hope that it eventually will. I heard that the opposition had a man sent off, but you really couldn't say we looked like making the most of it. We look like the Diamonds team that first played in the Conference under Ashby, that team needed an enema and so does this one.
Ho hum

Poor game again today. Not the worst performance of recent times but ultimately that game wasn't won and it wasn't won because of Andy Peaks.
Connor Furlong was by far the best player on the pitch today. Ben Diamond a close second. When they went down to ten and we needed to turn the screw, furlong came off, and Ben Diamond was pushed out wide. Absolutely ridiculous.
Shamsi doesn't want to be there and has shown as much for the last 180 minutes. My guess is an approach has been made and he'll be gone before this time next week. Why AP brought off Furlong instead of him I don't know. I suspect Snedker will be to follow.
Biggleswade equally as poor as Barwell, if not worse, and again we've failed to score. Could tell today that a lot of work has been done on set pieces this week, which tells it's own story. So much wrong with our setup, and we've dedicated all our efforts on nicking something from a corner.
Thanks Peaksy, but no thanks

Everything is screaming for a fresh new start!
And everything leads to the management. And we now have fans staying away now because of the management!
2 points from 4 home games against teams around us. Results mean everything. It’s frightening how poor we have become and the only reason I can come to is the management. It almost seems at the moment that the club doesn’t give a s**t
Peaksy have the bloody balls will ya

100% agree with all of the above. Clueless Management and a "star" player who clearly been tapped up on a 7 dayer. Time for both to go as soon as possible IMOrdusher wrote: Sat Oct 23, 2021 5:17 pm Poor game again today.

Would Shamsi be such a loss. 2 goals is a pretty poor return for what we pay him. I've only seen him twice and was not particular impressed. He has been a massive disappointment. I expect plenty of activity this week in and out. It would be sad to see Snedker leave but he was never going to be a long term signing. Peaks has a record of re signing ex players and I expect one high profile return.

0 wins in 6, 5 of which were at home. Can dress it how you want but that is shocking. The current style of play clearly doesn’t work as we look a very poor side, the general opinion around the ground is very much the same. This period will show the loyal players and the loyal fans. On to Stratford and Matlock away
