Maybe Jimmy is turning to the crowd again and waving his 'calm down' hands like he has it all under control.................doesn't seem that way.

Two shoots on target
Two goals
Two opposition players with acres of space
They want it twice as much as we do

So listening to the commentary, first half, a rubbish pitch which shouldn't be an excuse,a pair of centre halfs who met 48 hours ago, one should be good enough ,the another needs a season to come up to our standard if he ever does, no right side threat, and morton who is not and never will be a centre forwrd and two goals in the deficit column, a good day so far in essex, no excuses either, we travelled up friday morning, had the use of reading's plastic training pitch.

Faster in attack
Better in defence
Wanted it more
Can’t even blame the ref
Full time outfit playing part time football
At least three short passes going to nobody
Two shots out the ground
No excuses no desire
Don’t believe they’ve “trained hard all week”
How did we get here? Shocking!
Questions have to be asked about the appointment of coaching staff that got Bath relegated!

I suppose Ball will put the blame on Louis Dennis.

So much for the early season optimism. Three of our best players in Morgan, Dreyer and Young now gone. Dennis is nowhere to be seen, and meantime our star striker is away on International duty. What a shambles.

Backline is ridiculously fragile. Until that is fixed there is no chance of success. The whole team is built on a foundation of sand.

So it ends, their goalkeeper didnt have to make a save until the 85 minute, when we needed a centre forward, cooke gets played tuesday in a nothing match and cannot manage a satarday game because of a knock.even our own in house commentary team said we were ineffective and couldnt get to grips with the pitch and didnt real trouble a part time team.Not impressed

At this point last season, we had 20 points from our first ten league games, including five wins from our opening five home league games.

This season we currently have 13 points from ten.

It’s still early days, but is 13 points from ten games the sort of start you’d expect from a side challenging for promotion — or even a play-off place?

Just asking. 🤔

Last season we had a strong start but ultimately ended up sacking the manager later in the campaign. It’ll be interesting to see how this season develops.

I still have questions around why so many of our former best players have either left the club or want to

It doesn't add up.

Something is very wrong about this situation and it's not just the results.

There has been a lot of goodwill and money gone into the club under the new structure, but that should not make them immune to scrutiny.

Mid table after 10 games, strange things happening with player relationships and and results like this mean, to me indicate it's time to ask serious questions of both the club and the team management
