Wasn’t there but I’m looking forward to seeing peoples views on the game and in comparison to last week because obviously on paper it doesn’t look like a great Saturday again.

Well I’m getting in before any of the rose-tinteds. That was absolutely fking atrocious. Beaten by a very average bunch of cheats. Who, let’s face it, didn’t even need to resort to shithousery. We had ten men from the start. Wall is the most useless player I have ever seen in my thirteen years of following this club. If he is the answer, Dowse, what the F was your question? We need to know. The rest were marginally better. But overall another w@nk performance. We should all be refunded! Changes need to be made and and RIGHT NOW.

In comparison to last week it was more of the same.

To be fair, he was being kind for once. Play like with any kind of regularity and we’ll be lucky to stay up!

Ref was shit and ww were f*cking shitter Worthing players wanted it more than some of ours when they were not diving knowing the ref would fall for it every time . I am going to put in the same amount of effort putting our goal up as some of players did during the game and not bother . I know it was hot but no bothering to close the opposition down or to jump for a ball and watching it fly pass is unacceptable

[Mark Sweet]

Possibly one of the worst games of football I have seen us play.

We started okay, creating a few chances and should been 2 up when Allen struck straight at the keeper from a one on one. After those two chances came inside the first 10 minutes aside from a free kick in the 2nd half hitting the bar I can't remember us actually creating anything of note.

We seemed to just let them play out from the back and they came to our home and played exactly how they wanted to, we made it easy for them Pierre was the only one pressing and even when Dan came on he didn't help on that regard.

Our subs weren't game changers, Sam did well when he came on but Murtagh and Dan were both poor imo.

The refereeing was poor, yes however we cannot use that as an excuse as even with a good ref we would've still lost the game, we were nowhere near good enough.

We should forget about any kind of title push now as with performances like that we will be lucky to get near the playoffs.

As for MOTM, Campbell was the only one that I can justify giving it to. Solid performance and very unlucky with his free kick.

The confidence I had after Cheshunt is slowly going away.

[KingKong]

Really poor today.We are quite solid but so lacking in imagination going forward .Kristian was our best player today but I don't understand the switch to right mid..and Sam to left back...they can both do ok on those positions but it's not their best position .Will stick with it as always as Dowse has a great track record and im sure he will turn it round. Having said that morale is low on and off the pitch and we need a pock me up at hemel monday.

[Tall Dart]

First game for me this year. Quite enjoyed the first half, second half the time wasting and play acting of the Worthing team was embarrassing, still it was their tactics that worked, frustrated us and eventually grabbed the winner as we were all over the place, and lacking the ability / will to keep going. Couple of moments in the game when we should have made it 2 to kill the game off, make the right pass for the team please guys.

Rose tinter or not, I think we will be ok if some of the group can improve on fitness a bit.

I'm gonna post bit by bit and not let emotions take over straight after the game.

MOTM - Kristian Campbell. The only player in our entire squad who appears to have enough pace to get past an opponent.

[Spike]

Just because I'm a rose tinter doesn't mean I can't recognise a crap performance when I see one. Apart from the first 20 mins we were awful.
Tall Dart says we'll be "OK" but I don't want us to be OK, I expect us to be challenging. Dowse seems a great guy and I'm very happy with all the off the field positivity, but hand on heart, I'm one of the massive majority who aren't too bothered about having a pint with the players, we just want to win football matches. Personally I have been very disappointed with the recruitment and I am fearful of what is ahead. I was pleasantly surprised when we won our first two games but as much as I'm hoping to be proven wrong, I think the current squad is mid-table at best. Of course, I could be wrong like last year when I thought Maidstone had a crap squad and Hayrettin was a dinosaur. Dowse has a proven track record and as a dedicated fan I will back him to the hilt, but if you want me to br honest I am very worried.

MOTM Campbell by a country mile.

[JCJ]

Poor performance from the team and officials and blatant cheating from Worthing but no excuse we are not good enough full stop.

Three defeats on the trot now and need to turn it round quickly it has the feel of the Flanagan and Coyle regime just two points of relegation zone, crowds are dwindling and all the hard work of the last few seasons is disappearing, it would not have happened under Kingy and I know I will get stick from that comment but don’t worry “ we have our club back” at this rate it will be back to the league below

Still I be there Monday supporting the club as usual.
