Think players may have been intimidated by their overwhelming away support!

I think I must have been suffering hallucinations caused by distress, but I'm sure I saw a red card issued and nobody appeared to go off. Anyone else see this or should I consult a Doctor?

Sorry, I’ll seek your permission before putting my forecast for the next game.You are clearly are a very wise analyst, so in future I’ll seek your advice before making my prediction.
Well if you make a prediction at least have the balls to stick to it :whistle:

Despite only booking 1 player before than incident - their player with the bleached blonde hair - the ref thought it was the same player

He then showed a single yellow card again

That was their LB and LCB both on yellows but we didn't take advantage of that

I stopped predicting at the beginning of December. I didn’t want to predict losing so there was no point. Useless. GJ is losing it. He doesn’t want to get replacement’s in because “we have players coming back soon” ridiculous theory. Would rather risk losing.

Well there should maybe have been a red card, shown to Harris for a bad challenge. Sat away from it in the Bench, but it didn't look great to us.

A poor game with 2 poor teams. First half we were truly dreadful, but you could still see that anyone half decent could have scored a hatfull against the opposition. They played high and used the goalie to clear any balls over the top from us.

We were however unable to string any passes together, some of our play was embarrassing. Playing straight passes to opposition players 15 yards away. Crosses/passes played without even looking up first.

Second half at least some urgency was shown, however once 8 minutes was shown for injury time you felt they'd likely equalise and maybe win it.

No real booing or clapping at the end, we've seen enough poor performances to start becoming immune to any emotion by the end.

Even Martin and Asa back is underwhelming as you just expect them to be injured in the next week or two.

However in a fortnight I'll still be looking forward to 3pm, that's also embarrassing huh.

Sadly today didn't just feel like a poor performance against a team of part-timers (many of whom were suffering cramp half way through the second half), no today felt like the demise of the whole club. Don't know whether it was the January blues but as I stood there, in the cold I honesty felt it will not be long until the club I have watched, man and boy, will not be around much longer. So hope I'm wrong and my boy keeps that light burning with his enthusiasm, but by 5 o'clock today a real chill for the future ran through me.

Cheer Up.
We still have a top level manager.
The only reason we are in this position is due to all the injuries.
Our owner is fully transparent and really wants what's best for the club.
We fans just need to be patient and get behind the team.

I was amazed at the crowd - 2000 turning up to watch that rubbish. The club doesn't deserve such incredible support . As usual we concede in the first twenty minutes couid and should have been the first 20 seconds - free header in the six yard box - again.....
Yet again I would say the opposition won 70%
of the second/loose balls, 50/50 balls.
Our passing was shocking today.
Hanson joined the injured list this week. how the hell do we do it ?!!
After Dover home next - we won't beat them either - we have 8 of the next 11 away and you know what our away record is like.
Really can't see us making the playoffs, maybe a good thing as others have said.

Referee had a terrible game. Jobsworth from the first minute about where throws and freekicks were taken from, but not consistently applied. Showed a second yellow to the wrong Eastbourne player and then realised the mistake, and never got on top of Eastbourne's time wasting. Their number 27 got involved a few times shoving our players and should have been booked at least once.

Harris' challenge was borderline. Full blooded and late, I think a yellow was correct but you see them given as reds.

Their second goal looked offside from initial view, but need to see the replay.

Overall we looked poor. We looked like a group of young players who have been cobbled together with no real shape or tactics. DDS had a good game and was our only real threat going forward. WJD (goal aside) had a poor game. Collins and McGavin were anonymous. Archer showed willing for the ball and looks like he does have potnetial, but had a game to forget. Foyo upfront looked lightweight despite his size, I don't think he jumped once for a headed challenge.

Eastbourne were there for the taking as we did create opportunities, but our attackers didn't have the ability to take advantage.
