Excitement of the Bryn takeover reaching fever pitch. Queues at the pop up season ticket stall in Hyde Park. Yellow army out in force in London today.

Well, Luke Young didn’t quite make it to league 1. He is 31 and maybe if we can make him the dreaded “marquee” signing, why not? Apparently on 1k per week at Wrexham. Maybe some wriggle room offloading a bit of dead wood. Wotton surely would be wishing, and hopefully digging.

The team deserved a point ultimately.
They did play with effort and passion
The 441 with Tom on, had good shape and they dominated Welling to be fair, even with 10 men.
Just not good enough in front of goal.
McGavin, hold your hand up for that woeful track back that allowed their shot, that yes, Halstead should have saved.
Seen worse. Still hope.

We seem totally incapable of creating a chance
and making the goalkeeper make a serious save.

Arkell Jude Boyd - linked up well with Stobbs in attack. The latters delivery was poor
Will JD- Plenty of effort supporting Dwazza especially in first half
D Ofori A - Had plenty to do by himself drew the attention of Welling defence and made a few openings but missed a big chance
Tom - Did his Tom thing.
Reluctantly Stobbs. Played well, especially with AJB but his delivery was poor

Hampton & Richmond are a very good side at this level and beat us at a canter earlier in the season when we were “good”.
Ben Seymour, (Exeter, Plymouth Parkway, Bideford) their striker, was excellent and I worry for our defence with him on form. He was signed by Mel Gwinnett (Exeter) who dragged him up to Hampton from Plymouth Parkway.
Can we have them both down here next season please?

Just another reminder. The roads will be horrific past Basingstoke, maybe before. If you’re travelling up you need to keep south. The diversions in place will be gridlocked.

Think Weymouth were encouraging fans to have a drink in their clubhouse to keep funds in football and maybe going some way to paying back those fivers Weymouth are giving our club.

That line up looks like we’re playing for the 0-0.
Fair enough under the circumstances.

Mel Gwinnett & Ben Seymour from Hampton please.

Problem is all the players have something to give but they’re not the full package. Asa used to be, Mox used to be but the rest are playing here for a reason. Mc gavin is Jan Molby 25% of time. Jarvis is Giroud 25% of the time. As has been said a few 50% loans are needed fast.
Currently at England v Italy. Ain’t much better. If I bump in to Watkins I’ll see if he’s up for a loan move

Halstead - Kept us in it
Brad Ash - Two well taken goals. Chased all afternoon

The rest. Nah.

So, we nicked that with two good goals. Total was four shots, two were on target and both scored. Think they had 13 or 14, and will be wondering how they didn’t beat us. Don’t let the result fool you into the fact we are papering over the cracks.

cockneycockers

Slough nine shots Torquay nil.
Halstead 4 or 5 goal savers.
Super crap. Hoof, rush, ping, chuff all.
Whole football style needs root and branch change.
And yes, Gary, you are the root.
