After the Lord Mayors show.........

What a struggle that was after being in control at half time. We didn't play that well but we'd got 2 goals, they looked to have nothing and we had effectively put them to bed by half time.

Somewhere in the break, we gave them a nice wake up call, with a cup of tea and a bacon butty thrown in. We didn't start second half and they pinned us back from the off and again a team scored against us from outside the area, which is happening a lot.

Thought they were the better side after that and i couldn't have argued if they got a replay. We had chances to wrap it up but once again, the strikers didn't look like scoring. I hope the new striker is a straight replacement for LJL because as some strikers come alive in the box, he nods off.

Poor performance and a very boring game yet again.

Just as the radio called it.Ok first half, let them play the second and edge it, Southall and LJL in particular sounded dozy. It's weird, you'd think some of these players would run their socks off in a game like this when given a chance.

Couldn't imagine us losing this but still not fussed about being in it. Hope we can get winning these games in hand, starting at FGR.

I just think it's human nature. It's not really a conscious decision, you just play against a side you're expected to beat and it's difficult to do your best. We saw a few of the players raise their game dramatically against Huddersfield and it's the same thing in reverse. Just glad that we did enough, hopefully we'll see a step up in quality on Tuesday.

A wins a win but-


1st half was brilliant,should easily of been 3 or 4 goals clear after half hour. Second half was poor created enough chances to score 3 or 4 again but was wasteful up top.Too me today highlighted why we never really hammer a team scoreline wise. OUR STRIKERS CANT SCORE GOALS (ross excluded), the last time we convincingly beat a team was 5-1 (H) against woking nov 2012. Dont get me wrong as long as we win i dont care but when you create as many chances as we did today and only score 2 goals especially at home it is worrying and could cost us in the long run trying too get out of this league.I'm glad a striker is our main target for the january window, we do really need to get it right though and he needs to be scoring from the off. This isnt a dig at the rest of the squad all the other lads today played well just up top we are lacking.
  Hannah and the Shop are good assets and play well together, even though lenny doesnt bag often he does his job well,cooky and southwell today had the opportunity to stake a claim in the side and a good striker would of had at least a brace against this poor maidenhead side.UTM

Not great to watch today. Deserved to be in the lead at half time. Should have had more but they got bodies in the way. Second half they caught us out as they began to get more people forward. Deserved their goal and looked likely to draw level and forced several corners. We seemed incapable of raising our game and putting them on the back foot. We still had chances but our strikers seem to want too many touches and did not get good connections when shooting. They just need to put their foot through the ball cleanly and find the net. I notice they don't even do this clinically in the pre-match shooting practice, the number of times they scuff it or mishit it is worrying. However we escaped a banana skin and also avoided a replay which we certainly did not want. We are in the gat and let's hope for another home tie.

Southwells movement and lack of instinct stands out a mile in games like that, Colbeck fired in some lovely crosses in the first half but Southwell nowhere near any of them.
Should have been 4 up by half time despite a slow start, i think Pearsons goal came at a bad time for us ironically as the players just took that as a signal the game was won and all must have had 40 winks at half time.

We are through and this game will soon be erased from our memories.....unlike Lincoln hahaha.

Thought our defence and midfield did OK, but we should have had six today in the first half, their keeper had a decent game and the defence put block tackies in when it mattered.
We missed our first team players and although we won,  it shows how threadbare our replacements are especially up front, Southwell huffed and puffed but is not Conference Premier level and a poor substitute for Hannah, the result was right but the performance second half was lazy
