What is Bloor doing in the setup or perhaps not doing?

Ironically (Spud head ) Hugo Langton who was our Caretaker manager and was overlooked by our board in favour of Jamie Howell, has helped steer Welling United into second place in the Vanarama South Division!

I think Poole was a poor side, what does that say about us! I think we should all get a refund!

By Ken McEwan Eastbourne Borough’s hopes of a lucrative Emirates FA Cup run were shattered in front of their own supporters as slips at the back and a lack of a cutting edge up front allowed Sussex rivals Bognor Regis into the fourth qualifying round. Just a month previously a solitary goal was sufficient to take the points at Nyewood Lane but on Saturday Borough clearly missed the midfield thrust of the injured Yemi Odubade and it was the Rocks who went home £7,500 the richer. The Sports found themselves trailing in the 12th minute. Following a cross from the left by Dan Beck, Ian Simpemba appeared to lose his footing at the crucial moment, allowing Ollie Pearce to create space and squeeze the ball just inside the bottom right corner of the net. Borough should have levelled in the 28th minute when Nat Pinney found himself one-on-one with the keeper, but his shot came off the keeper and fell to Harley Willard who fired over the bar.Minutes later Pinney was a whisker away from converting Willard’s low cross from the left and then Willard was just too high following a corner.But despite the Borough efforts, much of the early stages seemed to lack the atmosphere of an FA Cup tie between Sussex rivals, most of the passion coming from the Bognor bench following boss Jack Pearce’s decision to leave his seat in the stand.Sergio Torres did his best to inject some urgency into a Borough side who were making far too many mistakes and it was a Torres effort that produced a spectacular goal-line save from Dan Beck in the 38th minute. Gavin McCallum was also showing much determination and as the half-time whistle approached he tested the keeper with a fierce 20-yard drive.Borough started the second half desperately needing a goal, but instead they conceded one in the 49th minute. This time it was Gary Charman who was at fault, allowing Jimmy Muitt to gain possession and race away on the right, his low cross needing just a tap-in from Pearce to complete his brace.Only the foot of Bailey Vose prevented Muitt from netting a third, but Borough, to their credit, kept plugging away and they was certainly more threat up front when new signing Lloyd Dawes from Worthing replaced the out-of-touch Pinney.One felt that if Borough could get one goal, more would follow, but the Rocks, roared on by their vociferous supporters, were willing to fight for a place in the next round, A fine Willard effort was well held under the bar by the keeper and a Jamie Taylor blockbuster was inches too high.But Jamie Howell’s men never really produced the fast-flowing football that has seen them climb the National League South table, and once again the dream of taking on one of the game’s genuine giants, has gone for another year.Sadly Borough supporters seem to have been saying that for too many years.Borough: Vose 7, Khinda-John 6, McCallum 7, Wills 6, Simpemba, 6, Charman 5 (Hendon 58min – 5), Willard 6, Torres 7, Pinney 5 (Redwood 64min – 5), Taylor 7, Harris 6 (Dawes 50min -7). Unused subs: Worrall, Ransom, Drage, Pearson).MoM: Gavin McCallum – never gave up the fight). Ref: Lee Brennan. Att: 762.

Lots have mentioned Simpember not having a good game and that we need to put right what's wrong in our defence, Simpember is the coach! What is he going to do talk to himself in the bath? Nat Pinney missed several good chances in the first half,his ball control has vanished for whatever reason. It wouldn't have been a bad call to have started with the new guy and left Pinney on the bench!

What on earth is the problem with keeping up to date with our Match reports on our website, I know they go on a bit, we don't want any if's or buts, just a basic factual report.

Sad to say but I think on reflection of our recent previous games, Pinney does not fit in anywhere. He most definitely cant jump to receive a long ball and its a total waste of time sending long aerial balls to him. He is muscle bound in the midriff area that prevents him to be mobile in the box. He is not getting involved anymore. We need a tall vibrant centre forward who is good in the air, can run the channels hold the ball up well and is fast.

I thought we were better side in the first 20 mins, Darts scored against the run of play, our heads didn’t drop and we continued to pass the ball well. We have to address our defence especially against corners as where Dartford scored their second, their third came again from a aerial free kick. Their fourth was an absolute joke after the referee allowed a free kick to be taken without the opposition player not withdrawing the required 10 mtrs away from the free kick, it rebounded off a player straight into the path of a Dartford player on the centre line who ran in and beat Vose. If it hadn’t been for Dartford’s aerial prowess, we could have got a result.

I never went to the game but I am eager to know what happened, half time we were 0-0 then within seconds 45+ we were 2-0 down. Anyway we ended up with a fantastic draw 2-2

Not a convincing win, we rode our luck at times. I would like to see us take control of the game, if they had a pacey forward we may have come unstuck. Willard didn't feature much and bottled out of a few 50/50's.Geat to see Yemi's pace again,shame he cant play the full match? The first half was as good a performance as I seen for many a season..... Should have been at Bognor!

They have 3 very fast forwards Miller, Rayhem Stirling Parker and one other.Look a good side capable of beating a NSL side?

Although I enjoyed the game, I felt very tense that we could concede further goals, if it hadn't been for Vose coming out and stopping a certain goal, the score line would have been different. We never played with the dominance as we did at Bognor, lots of lessons still to be learnt!

Good all round performance,totally controlled the game throughout, Bognor was not in it at all! Vose was not tested, KKJ had a good game with Simpo running things as usual, good 3 points well earned.

They have a similar problem as us, no centre forward,if and when they get one they will be a force to be reakoned with! There centre backs were tall and powerful,
