Overall less than underwhelming, the best thing to say is there is another 40
Games to go (or another 20 red cards at this rate)

Cons

Poor points return after playing some of the worst this division has to offer
Neanderthal football that evens the odds against the the shite and isolates our decent players as well as being utterly appalling to watch
3 red cards and an appalling disciplinary record
Only 1 goal at home so far (from a desperate punt) and we can’t really claim we have been unlucky there
Injuries and suspensions exposing an unbalanced squad

Pro’s

Defence more solid with 4 clean sheets
Freeman and Sloggett at least look decent signings
Joe grey is now a genuine threat at this level…if we can use him properly


Overall very disappointed and sceptical things can get much better under this current bloke who talks a lot better game than he delivers so far

Only 1 goal at home in 3 games but we've been down to 10 men for 2 of them, hit the post against Southend and again today so wouldn't expect goalfests but a tad unlucky hitting the woodwork. Also the effort from Campbell today looked decent and it was a good save to keep it out.
Think the way we attacked at times showed the potential, down to Sarll to unlock it.

Yes we won’t score many with 10 ten which is half the problem

I saw Sarll had a dog at the ‘creative ‘ players today post match, maybe let them create instead of hoofing it 50 yds every chance we get at home to
Shite and part timers may yield better results

Wealdstone and Braintree, Wealdstone and Braintree, I said it twice just to reinforce the fact the DS can not organise a footballing situation to beat teams we had never even heard of a few seasons ago. He has to go, bring in someone, anyone who knows how to coach a team who can play a bit

We're a point off the play off positions, we've kept more clean sheets already than last season, we've got a competitive midfield for the first time in years, so not a bad position to build from. Obviously we need to be more creative and a bit more self discipline would help to achieve that imo.
We've shown in games we can play good attacking football but only in short and rare snatches. Sarll needs to find a way to improve offensively and we'll do well.

apart from the defense we are no better than last season with attacking play again in short snatches unlike others who camp out in the opposition half. great having clean sheets but need to look more of an attacking threat where the fans feel a goal is coming. enough said about pointless and supidity of 3 sent off already.

I dont want to sound like that muppet but....

i dont think he knows how to use Mancini and Campbell and i have this feeling he doesnt really favour Mancini.

I like DS but starting to see more cracks each game ! more cons with the man that pros just now.

The small squad is the one that will kill us - we all said this !

DS admitted the ‘profile’ he favors on signings is the physical runners
Good managers would be able to make the most of a unique asset like Mancini (and I don’t mean build entire team around him)
So far he hasn’t done that

Fevs will ditch this long ball shit.
If it has us still struggling to test the oppositions keepers going into Oct/Nov.

Wasted quality front line at the moment.
Can see Mutiny setting in especially if there's a string more of these.

Anyone know Sarlys contract situation.
Been kept quiet

Only one way to end this Mutiny.

Surely to God it doesn't pro long into the daggers game who will be fulla confidence.

whats this mutiny and where is there evidence of one. just because everyone looked lost in a game it does not mean anything as severe as that. we have all seen it before when everyone in the team has looked lost and the bench has totally run out of ideas.

I know woking fans have said in the past he lost the dressing room after having one of the players by the throat. Maybe our signings arent as good as people think and its not all tactics? But hoofing the ball to one man with no plan is never going to work.

We all wanted better quality players and looking at where we've signed players from and their cv's it's pretty obvious we've got them. It's definitely the tactics which are making decent players for this level look as if they've just rolled out of the pub for a Sunday League game.
It's hard to believe any manager couldn't get a tune out of this squad but DS definitely isn't.

It was similar to Wealdstone--where Sarll there blamed personnel decisions as oppose to clueless tactics

we had 6 players set up to stop and 4 to try and create something from hoofball with no real tactics to stitch it together--platers have to play closer to each other which is impossible with the Punt brothers in midfield belting it up to nowhere on instruction as soon as they have it.
One of Sheron or Hunter makes sense but to play both (and Sloggett when he is available) is borderline sabotage, the midfield recruitment has been really poor.

We were shite against Boston and an injury to Sloggett got Sarll out of jail with Mancini having one of those games teams cant live with---however against Ebbsfleet no such luck.

The problem is (and I hope somehow I am wrong) I haven't seen anything to suggest we are going to do anything different to get us playing better, it will be more of the same with the occasional win because of an individual bit of skill followed by more turgid shite. I think deep down we all know it--but will likely prolong the misery for another month or so.
a 1-0 loss in Fa Cup qualifying by a Nat League North side will prob be the end of it for him.

9 games gone

0 home wins from 4
1 home goal
7 goals in total (averaged out we will end up scoring less than 40 this season !)
3 red cards
more yellow cards than I can count

Position of the teams we have played

10th, 12th, 13th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th 21st and 24th

When you spell it all out its extremely worrying !

Can most probably add in 24th for shots on target n Deffo the least amount of headers at goal.

Things can only get better.
UTP.

Like yesterday and the majority of the games this season??

Been away so I didn't see or listen to the game, but do our players really get a free pass for that performance? When I saw the result on my phone I assumed we'd had another man sent off!

The few minutes of highlights are dire - 3 defenders dancing around Bingham till he gets his (deflected) shot away and a couple of weak shots from Pools. Is that really all we could muster?

Can't see the sense in the 'lost the dressing room' talk - it wasn't lost on Tuesday night was it? Not that '2 long journeys in a week' is enough of an excuse either.

2 home games coming up - if there's not at least one win out of them Sarll might not have to wait for a poor cup result to get his P45.

What do you expect the players to create when the instructions are to punt everything fwd and see what drops for us ?
As for recruitment, we have signed 3 midfielders who are all better without the ball and with and out manager wants to play them all at once
I would swap Crawford for any of hunter Sheron and slogg as he is different to them and we need variety
I don’t rate what I have seen of Robinson yet but would try him above Sheron or hunter, playing both of them and telling them to hoof it fwd when they get it is soul destroying shite

Had you seen the game part-timer
Then your dressing room wrong false hope crack would be different. Unless you a RTinter.
Our eyes ain't picked onions but a few have pickled brains or turn a blind eye to the real world of evidence.

This crank manager is reducing any hope of Promotion on a daily basis.
He's a gonner and the sooner the better.

You can disagree though.
Freedom of speech still almost applicable on the happy family Bunker.

really what did they do either. a game more or less decided by a freak goal where really neither side deserved a single point from a game like that. feel sorry for anyone who travelled a yard never mind miles to watch a game like that. i,m sure there would have been better games to watch yesterday in the bottom division of any sunday league including the lasses.

I thought they were the team that at least tried to get the ball down and play a passing game. Of the 2 sides they looked better than us and hungrier than us.

Correct, Bottom of the league, On evidence a really poor team.

Yet they DID try to get the ball down and play FOOTBALL.
For the life of me, I cannot see his tactics getting us any where.

Yep, it was the option of a day out in the sun or a couple of hours wasted sat indoors agonising over how crap Pools were playing. Glad I made the right choice.

Going to the Vic you always get some fresh air if nothing else - remember?

just stay at home with the windows all open and watch different birds pass by instead of just gulls. fact is another performance like we have seen this season then just put the flying gulls on the highlights and not the match itself.

Certainly do sir

you would not mind his approach as much if we had tried getting the ball down and played and it was complete failure. or was i dreaming about the first 20 minutes at woking and the second hlf at boston.
