Match Thread vs. Weymouth 11.09.21 [NL]

I get the frustrations, I’m disappointed with the result. But, it’s not the end of world.

Some big overreactions.

JOB did nothing again? Can’t comment on today’s game as not there. But, he’s certainly contributed in previous games?

Will be interested to see the line up and formation on Tuesday.

Some big over-reactions yes, but football is an emotional game so that's pretty much par for the course after a game we should've won but didn't.

I usually wait until Monday morning for a cold-blooded analysis on here.

I think UTM summed it up quite well - nothing too worrying so far, but a lot depends on what happens in the next few games. If we make a habit of dripping points in these games then yes, it will be concerning.

I could be wrong but I feel like both the previous 2 seasons we suffered from bad starts and looked far more disjointed and off the pace of the promotion race than we do now.

I would agree with that.

What does he do? Please enlighten me. I keep hearing about his 'great forward runs'...how many result in goals...or assists? I keep hearing he is 'energetic' and 'puts himself about'... What impact does this have on the game and our results? He's done nothing since he's been here but shout a lot.

I’m going to back away, but before I do. Consider the following;

Scored 1, 1 assist and 1 incorrectly ruled out. His runs create space for others, he had an hand in Cal’s goal last Saturday. For a midfielder, 5 games in, not a bad contribution. To suggest he did nothing ‘again’ is a bit wide of the mark.

Anyway, have a good evening.

I'm satisfied with a point from this one. At this early stage it's just about staying in touch with top spot while gelling, working on weaknesses/individual errors and establishing a consistency of performance within the squad.

Last season we won 3 (including Sutton away) and lost 2, so we have the same number of points

I totally understand why people would think it's an overreaction and on face value, we are unbeaten in 5 games and in the mix at the top. If this was one season in isolation, I'd totally agree. But it's not is it? We've all been here before and the familiar niggling issues are there for all to see.

Of course, we are all entitled to our opinion, but I don't subscribe to the JOB/DKE love-in or the plaudits for this frustrating 'modern' style of play.

The very fact that our preferred starting 11 contains those two players raises massive questions about our Summer recruitment IMO.

Not ideal but if someone had said by this stage, having played Torquay and more significantly Wrexham away. Still being unbeaten is something most would have been happy with.

And I acknowledge all of the above.

If KC doesn't like someone (DKE, JO then it doesn't matter what they do.

I will step away in the next few minutes! No love in on my part. I believe JOB is a decent player at our current level is a good player and will contribute over the course of the season. His contribution so far this season backs up that view.

DKE is different. I don’t and haven’t viewed him as a starter. As a squad player, I think he’s useful. But, that’s my opinion.

You don't have to back away Killer! You are clearly a gentleman! I welcome your thoughts mate! Have a great evening!
