That I've ever seen a player fall over as much as Lenny. He was either slipping or tripping every time he got near the ball last night and he was so off balance with his shot off the best chance that it was a wonder the ball went in the right direction. Just for balance, I thought Mackreth, Parslow and Hannah were equally poor.

I wondered if the Telegraph's reporter was actually at the match, as he gave Mackreth the MOM. He apparantly "frightened" Southport with his pace! Complete rubbish! Mackreth did what he always does...either get blocked off trying to run down the flank or taking the ball infield and getting nowhere!

It's hard to describe John Tondeur's voice as he commentated on that chance. I don't remember the exact wording but it was something inoffensive along the lines of "John-Lewis has just the keeper to beat. He shoots. The keeper's saved it". But the tone of his voice effectively said, "I guarantee you he won't score this. He shoots. I flipping told you".

Sounds like the same voice that he uses to say "and there's a break on here...', slightly strained while trying to sound calm, mixed with alarm, exasperation, and the inevitability of following up with a muted "and it's a goal..."

Magnay MOM - great call...I agree
My overwhelming feeling about GTFC is one of complete frustration It was obvious from about 20mins in it was going to be uninspired - we started sloppily and it just got no better
Not crap - box to box we are pretty good - but there is no spark at all around the box
Buckley was brilliant in his summing up - not fast-paced enough which allowed them to get back in numbers; it was like a training match for their defence which is crazy for a team in bottom four, which hadn't scored for 4 games, had six defenders out (allegedly) and hadn't won away for 14 months!!!
95% of our problem is up front and final third
Barnet: Akinde/McDonald Woking: Rendell (top scorer) Halifax: Boden Wrexham: Moult/Jennings/York/Bishop/Holman
GTFC: LJL - can't hit a cow's a*se...(general play good - but it isn't enough) Hannah - would he get in any of the above teams? Oates - on loan and raw Pittman - injury-prone Arnold - sicknote
Not rocket science to see what the issue is - is we hadn’t scored 13 goals in 2 matches we'd have scored 11 goals!!
Would think Fenty and board are getting twitchy...unless Hurst's brief is play offs in which case we are only 5pts off with 33 games left....UTM!!!

No, he says "and there's the goal". Like it was inevitable. Which, of course, it probably was.

That's very true, he does. It's a sad state we are in and have been in for so long that we hear that resigned tone in his voice when the opposition attack so bloody often.

Now, LJL certainly didn't play at all well last night, but from some of the comments on here, you'd think he missed two open goals.
The chance in the first half was from a tight angle, on his weaker left foot and he hit it cleanly, just not well enough to beat the keeper (should have gone far post instead of near post). The second was further out, against on his left foot and again not at an easy angle. Unfortunately, he missed the target, but it wasn't going far wide and their keeper and got his hand to it (the ref missed the clear corner, of course).
Two tricky chances and certainly not easy!
A lot of players from all the teams have been slipping and sliding over in the past couple of games. Probably down to moulded studs when they should be wearing screw-ins.

You know when you go out and warm up before a game if you are going to need screw in studs or not, school boy stuff so a very poor excuse.
There are many variables to what determines a good striker, I am yet to be convinced that LJL qualifies in any of those said variables. I like his work ethic but he just doesn't tick any of those variables for me on a consistent level.
We have got too many inconsistent players.

Harsh on his second half performance where he gave their left back a torrid time. Why he didn't do it in the first half God alone knows

I think Hurst said the pitch was very dry,
Do we not own a hose pipe ?

No excuse involved there. A lot of players have been slipping and sliding at BP in recent weeks and there must be some reason for it. Rooney's brother fell on his bottom a few times on Saturday as well. It's something you see at even the top level of football so it is obviously not too much schoolboy stuff, not least because I doubt most schoolboys own more than one pair of boots! I certainly didn't back in the distant past!

Its going to rain at the week end,
So if we get enough on Monday and Tuesday as well,
The pitch should be in good condition for the next home game,
