Dreadful second half from us. Substitutions didn’t work at all. Did anyone tell Danny Wright that he hasn’t signed for the TUFC walking football team? He’s not even that good in the air ... any more

We got our just rewards in the second half - a shadow of the first half team.

Hall leaving the field was the turning point. Up to then, even after half time, I thought we were in control. First half better than Saturday

Totally agree with CP and Lloyder
Really angry with that giveaway. All over them first half , game should have been over. The experience of Hall comes off and the team fall apart. Very disappointed in Wright and Umerah so far, as said Wright doesn't leave the ground when he 'attempts'
a header.

We did not so much lose the game but threw it away, first half we were head and shoulders above eastleigh, we out thought them, we out fought them, but it took its toll, it was obvious very quickly into the second half that Whitfield and Umerah were blown , as soon as Hall went off and lemonheigh got injured we lost all confidence in the game plan that had done us so well first half.We know that hall cannot manage 90 minutes and I hope that lemonheigh is just a minor knock or else come saturday if you turn up you will get a game in midfield. Very frustrating.

Wright is a concern although I thought he was better than Saturday. Umerah also a slight improvement but not showing the promise of pre-season. Midfield much better with Hall as linchpin. Defence was sound again, until it was exposed.

Very disappointed in Wright

His touch these last few games has been poor. Looks unfit or is it his legs have gone and we've signed a pup?

Defence was ok until Eastleigh decided to attack our wing backs in the second half who were basically non existant defensively

Spot on. Got away with it Saturday, not second half tonight. We've seen it and you can bet Bromley have seen it too.

What concerns me is the spine of our squad. Wright, Hall and Warren. Through pre season and the opening couple of games Wright doesn't look fit or able to show any impact. Hall is undoubtedly one of the first names on the team sheet however how many games are you going to get with him before he succumbs to an injury. Then there is Warren who struggled last season with injuries and who is injured currently.

desperado · Post by **desperado** » 07 Oct 2020, 07:06

What exactly is wrong with Kerr and Warren and how long are they out for ? The number of injuries we get is unbelievable,
now CLE and Covolan pick up knocks
And what is happening with Little ? It is quite worrying that he is still not fit. And where is Nelson ? Appears to have an attitude as he has not featured yet.

Evans injury doesn't look short term - another huge miss. Hall, Evans and Little looks a good midfield - looks pretty likely that they are all going to be missing on Saturday.
It was frightening how we went from being in total control to a shambles in the second half.
It wasn't just the loss of Hall and Evans either. Wrights legs had gone with 30 minutes left and he wasn't able to even jump or challenge for the ball, meaning we were getting absolutely zero possession up front.
Playing Nemane and Whitfield as wing backs just doesn't work. The writing was on the wall before they equalised as Eastleigh had free range to waltz in to our penalty area via the right flank unchallenged.
Eastleigh weren't any good at all apart from their striker but ultimately won easily. Johnson has to change the formation otherwise every team is going to find us out. The walking wounded list is ridiculous.
