Okay, I know this isn't in-keeping...

Day's physical shape is an absolute disgrace. How can a so-called professional sportsman allow himself to go to seed like that in such a short period of time? What on earth was he doing? Didn't he bloody notice?

I have it on reasonably reliable authority that Mr Day spent large parts of the close season sampling the Salisbury night life.

That must have been a hell of a lot of sampling.

Losing is also a habit. Like taking crack. But less moorish.

Are you being racialist?

But seriously, those of you who say it will all be alright when we score a few goals - who is going to get these goals? We can't rely on one player (who's never played a competitive game for us, by the way) to score enough goals to get us promotion. How many of our midfielders do you see chipping in with ten to fifteen goals this season? Because that's what we need if we're to go up...

I think Constable will score his share...look at his previous record, Yemi will get his quota, not as many as he should though, Haldane will get into double figures I have no doubt and the rest will come through the team. We have much better options than last season.

I'm glad others thought we played well. I thought there was variety and skill in the approach, I thought there was 'honest effort' in Patto terms, and I thought Constable was able to hold the ball up better than anyone last season, so that the hoof from the back four actually had a chance of staying up the pitch. I also thought the ref was unduly lenient to the blocks on Reid and Yemi, which didn't help.

I also agree about the negatives - did not understand the substitutions, and thought Day was pretty poor.

Every night he sampled McDonalds....

I thought you'd have learnt by now NOT to look at strikers' previous records when predicting how many they're going to score for us...

Fair enough......there's not much I can say to that!

[Radley Rambler]

On the subject of scoring from corners, I don't actually believe we have...................EVER..........but the last time we came close Massey and Moody were involved and Gary Butler still had hair.

I'm sorry Roo but that is pure bollocks. When Massey and Moody played for us, Gary Butler did not have hair.

And I include Moody's first stint in that analysis.

Or even the support strikers (assuming Guy is the mainman)

[Geoff]

For me the main problem was the centre of midfield. Murray and Burnell put in their fair share of tackles but distribution forwards was non-existent. Hence the back four resorting to hopeful hoofing (which Yemi and Reid chased valiantly all night). Despite my pre-match criticism of playing Yemi up front, I thought he worked his socks off for the team. DP has said he's looking to bring someone else in, let's hope it's to replace Burnell. If Murray puts in many more performances like that, let's hope it's him aswell. Agree with previous comments about the first sub being at totally the wrong time and destroying the momentum. I still think our forwards and wide players will score plenty of goals given better support from central midfield and set pieces.
