Does anyone know whether the streaming will be accessible after the game?
Gutted its behind closed doors as it was part of a double header I was taking my son to watch (we are watching West Ham v Wolves on Sunday) so I’ll be in London but booked a visit to an attraction instead so will be busy while the game is being streamed.

Little in Hall out.
Johnson in for Martin who limped off injured on Tuesday. Straight swap at left back?
O'Connell replaces Johnson on the bench.
Nice day out in the sunshine and watch the live stream (just like the good old days) which finishes just in time for a nice meal and a bottle of wine.
Sounds good to me ..... provided we win.

Wealdstone there for the taking. Gulf in class, BUT we are toothless.
Johnson right back, Moxey left back. Johnson overlapping a lot.

Half Time - What wouldn't I give for a proper SPECIALIST striker.
All that possession and domination of a poor Wealdstone side and nothing to show for it. We looked great in many areas but the last third in and around the pen box was pretty awful . Very nearly conceded and we would be a goal down if it wasn't for a fantastic save from Maca.
Better second half I hope somebody needs to pull the trigger and put this game to bed or we will be suckered into defeat.

Lolos on Lolos off and then sucker punched as predicted.

Lolos on Lolos off and then sucker punched as predicted. Was he injured, didn't look it, if not then he was on for a total of 11 minutes. Utterly bizarre and probably the last we see of him. I'll await an explanation from GJ, before passing judgement though. That is, if he offers one of course. Overall, from a promising opening 30 minutes when we should have been 2 up, this turned into a very disappointing performance against a very poor side. Let's hope the management are already planning for next season. We can all see where the gaps are. To be without a recognised striker on the pitch for the final 20 mins when you're chasing a must win game..unbelievable really. |

I have to say that I am rather taken aback by the lack of comments about this match. Perhaps most of the regular contributors are as shocked as I am by what they have witnessed on the Wealdstone video?
Today was the first time that I have watched a match in full for several years, as I no longer go to Plainmoor due to poor health and I am not willing to subscribe to streams presented by BT and other sources. I was not around in the David Webb era, which many people say was the pits in the club's history, but I can recall seeing some games when Eddie May, Wes Saunders, Chris Roberts' pathetic appointees and finally the Knill/Hargreaves succession purported to be managers. Even in those times I cannot remember seeing anything as dire as what I watched tonight. Do they always play like that? The passing was atrocious and the movement off the ball was non-existent. The performance throughout was naive, it was lack-lustre and it was bloody awful, and I have felt very disillusioned for the hours after watching it.
Joe Lewis played really well and Lapslie and Moxey did their best to instill some urgency, but the rest of them looked as though they really couldn't be bothered. Danny Wright is undoubtedly past it, so there is no reliable goal scorer. By far the majority of goals scored this season have come from midfield players or defenders, but tonight both Little and Lemonheigh-Evans were very poor and didn't look like creating chances or scoring from first to last. Perhaps the most glaring fault is the absence of wingers. The midfielders all look as though they prefer playing in the middle, so there were no decent crosses in the whole game.
I can't understand how we managed to beat Stockport or even draw with Boreham Wood, and yet we have lost only two of the last eleven matches. How we have managed that sequence is beyond me if we usually play as we did tonight.

There have certainly been some better performances than that Stewart (it wouldn't be hard to improve on that second half!) but this squad was never going to seriously challenge this season. Overloaded with midfield players and a strike force which is not fit for purpose. Relying on a 37 year old injury prone attacker along with another who has been out of the professional game for a couple of years and a young inexperienced lad is not a recipe for goals is it? The only time we have really looked to cary threat up front was when Armstrong was here and you can't really rely on loanees to stick around can you? The second half yesterday was really poor and quite frankly a complete rebuild is required of the squad. Players like O'connoll, Lolos, Johnson, Felix, Holman, Wright, Rogers should all be released. Moxey and Hall you may get another season from but their legs will go. The jury for me is out on Lapslie. Clearly Lewis, Wynter, Little and Evans have something about them but wouldn't be surprised to see them move on. Halstead, for whatever reason has been a complete disaster. Mcdonald I would try and re-sign. The squad building simply has to be better this summer.

On the OS, GJ is bemoaning not having 16 first-team players to pick from for each game this season. Who's fault is that, Gary?! Recruitment starts in January of the season before, so its no good complaining that the play-off final prevented you from signing at least two fit-for-purpose goal-scorers.  |

I'm with Stewart on this one. I haven't attended a game since just before the pandemic and due to being advised to shield by the government and have only slowly began to get back to doing what I did before, but the 'no ticket on the day' thing has been a big factor in me not attending since, so this was the first time I've seen us play since for about two years.
Like Stewart my first overall impression was how the hell did we beat Stockport and Wrexham? I can't honestly see where we can go forward from here. As said by tjgull Little, Evans, Wynter and Lewis will probably jump ship if they get the chance and the only other player I would keep is McDonald. Absolutely none of the remaining players is in any way up to the job, but I can't see Johnson being able to sign between 15 and 20 new and fit-for-purpose players in the summer.
It's going to take two or three seasons to turn this around and I wonder if Johnson and the ownership have the patience to do that. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that this season's recruitment hasn't produced a single player I would want to keep on.

How we have managed that sequence is beyond me if we usually play as we did tonight. Good grief Stewart you have led a sheltered life if you think that was poor. None of us should judge a player or a team performance on one bad result. Those of us who have watched games at this level players can look like world beaters one day and sunday league the next even at the very top of the game. The "couldn't be bothered" bit I don't agree with whatsoever.Lack of nous and application yes especially in the last third. And as far as beating the big boys. you know as well as I do that every game is different with so many factors that decide a result even with talentless teams. I think we all knew it would be impossible to match what we did last season with a reduced budget and our core players leaving. I'm quite content with where we are in the division when it looked like we would be in a relegation fight with the pre season disruption. Look above us and you will see quite a few far bigger clubs who will also fail in their quest to return to the football league. We have no divine right to be top of this league any more, the hierarchy landscape has changed immensely in the last few seasons. |
