Sam German and Ross Marshall still out injured, but Ryley Scott likely to return.

 

[KPMG]

Is it just me who thinks we play better with Wynter, Ibrahim and Hand in midfield?

Any combination that doesn’t involve Porter in a midfield role is ok for me

Best 3 so far this year has been Hand, Riley, Wynter

 

[Bugpowder Dust]

I'm not sure about Hand, apart from a great strike pre-season I've not seen anything from him that would put him in our best XI (I wasn't at Dartford last week to see his goal/performance).

Ibrahim, Scott and Wynter all ahead of him, and given his struggles in front of goal I'd maybe pull Oli Lynch back into midfield too.

Would like to see Danny and Lynch up front together to see what happens, I've only seen us play one or the other.

 

[wphillips7]

Lynch is such a handful for cbs, tires them out for 60 mins then mills comes on for last few minutes. Not a bad formula, esp if the midfield behind works. When the midfield misfires, it looks a poor tactic. Lynch never a midfielder though. I’d like to see him stay on and play up top with mills rather than a straight swap.

Re Hand, he’s a brilliant technical player, and was fantastic in a 3 with Riley and Wynter but I don’t believe they’ve all been fit together a handful of games.

Ibrahim seems decent but has got a mistake or 5 in him

 

[lwrs79]

Dear Santa… all I want for Xmas is to get this terrible manager out of our club.

It’s beyond depressing watching what he puts out week after week.

Thanks

I posted this in the wrong thread at half time by mistake:

"3-2 down at half time after opening the scoring through the Wizard. Frankly I reckon we're fortunate not to be dead and buried by now, as Cray Valley ran rings around us for much of the first half, scoring 3 unanswered goals before JBW pulled one back from a direct free kick. Barnes made a vital save in a one on one on the stroke of half time to keep the deficit at a single goal. For the third consecutive Saturday home game it's uncomfortably wet and windy, but at least we'll have the wind at our backs for the second half."

It didn't get any better. We were beaten by a good side, but it's depressing how far adrift of their level we looked.

 

[Ian Kaye]

Ten goals conceded in the last three home games. Seven games without a win. At this rate we’re heading for our second relegation in three years. Carshalton next, who are ten games unbeaten and sitting in fifth, I can’t see things improving.

 

[Al Cunningham]

Yes. 42 goals conceded in 21 games. If you are going to average letting in 2 goals a game, you have no chance. 17th in this league is nowhere near good enough.
