First game I been able to watch this season. Still can’t defend can we?

[dargiles82]

Mr Bloor said he knows what wrong after every game im afaird to say he has not put this right lack of experience at this level

[Oldun]

WE were bullied into defeat as we have few players who have the strength and ability to hold off strong challenges as we saw last Sat. We need a couple of strong experienced players balance out the gifted young ones.

Up the Boro and here's to a good win tonight.

[dargiles82]

Well said new member that has be obvious for along time we lack that extra experience

[paulfrake]

Lost count how many times I’ve said we need a Mark Hughes type player or players in team. Also need a set piece coach in to help defend corners better.

Anyone know what has happened to Whelpdale ?

[dargiles82]

I think Whelpdale has an injury agree we lack management at this level what has happened to Mr Bloor contacts ie QPR

[maz]

There does seem a lack of news
We have had players who have signed for us but never played
Injuries, no news on how long or what injury.
They seem to keep posting about our gates but how much are freebees ?.
Last time we had a midweek game the attendance was less than half.

[dargiles82]

We need a more experienced at all levels including communications as you say players sign in a blaze of glory then never play this showes in experienced

[paulfrake]

First time at The Lane on Saturday and it seemed to be a decent crowd but there was a lot of kids there, and if kid go free or for a quid then the income from the gate is somewhat distorted

[paulfrake]

Should of said first time this season

[maz]

All these people with freebee tickets just bypass the Clubhouse , maybe a free glass of Coke for kids in the Clubhouse will entice adults in for a drink .
Or is it they prefer to get punters in the ground to drink inside the ground instead as there is more profit on cans of Beer and Lager from the Cash and Carry?
Also why is there only one outlet for Food in the ground as it takes a good 20 minutes to get food which is rediculous.
Saw they had some chips for sale on the drinks outlet on halfway but they were cooking the chips in the Clubhouse kitchen and walking them into the ground in an open topped tray (very hygienic)
Plus STILL no Real Ale's in either the clubhouse or in the ground at the Longman Outlet, not everyone wants Lager

[paulfrake]

I thought smoking was banned inside the ground, didn’t seem to stop some people on Saturday. Ironically 10 yards from a steward 🤷‍♂️

[dargiles82]

Glad to see young folk watching but wish they would watch instead of walking and running around we must win tonight or we will be down very low in the league please Mr Bloor sort out the defence regards the corners most of goals against come from this area
