The Red Dragons v THE DOWN TO EARTH MAGGIES

Posted by M64 on August 28, 2021, 7:37 pm

We cannot expect to win the title if we cannot beat 10 men with 66 minutes to go. Yet again it was rank bad defending that led to their goal after a harmless punt up field. Shocking really after last Saturday.

Do we think the players are mentally weak, that when things are going well, they are fine, but when the going gets tough they strut around like headless chickens?

How can they start so slowly in their first home match in front of nearly 7,000 expectant fans, they are just so inconsistent.

Anything could happen on Monday, a draw would be a good result, but I have a feeling Wrexham will be too good for us at home and I'm sadly going for a 21- defeat. Let's hope I'm wrong.

Still not convinced by Burchnall Fred, if he gets us promoted into tier three, I'll admit he's a decent manager, getting us out of this league with all the resources at his disposal will not prove anything to me, it is the least I expect, and if he doesn't get promotion this season I expect hm to go.

WE'RE THE ONE AND ONLY EXILES...GRRRRR

I really think we have to win this one to make a statement. Lose and we are on catch up already. Don't hink Burch will be going anywhere anytime soon even if we don't go up this season he is on a 4year contract. Not convinced with Cameron yet and captain to boot!!! We need Lacey back and soon to play the way he wants from the back. What as happened to Slowcombe? We certainly have goals in the team but got to stop conceding. Dagenham top!!! always a underdog shining through.
Well it will be hard but going for a 1-0 win not sure how but hoping the 2 magpies in the garden today are a good omen.
Regards to all

Yesterday´s performance wasn´t good enough.
I will let it pass since the season has just begun.
Wrexham is written up as a promotion favourite so if we get anything from this game I will be just fine.
Get at them, boys!

Second half performance was much better so there's still time to hit form.Not sure how much this manager is in total charge of who the new players are. I'm guessing financial limitations play a part and surely statisticians will want to use their own form book to bring in the players they believe in or how else are they advertising themselves. Another former league club awaits. There's so many down here that have lost their way back to the surface we should take note. 1-1 for me

Should be a tough one this but one of the teams we have to beat if there's going to be promotion at the end of the season.

Defence still making stupid errors and Sam not helping with his lack of leadership (bossing) his "defenders".

As JPs gone for his usual, I'll go for 2-1 win

What a header from Wootton, if Burchnall coached that into him then all credit to him.

Sam Slocombe really should have got that ball that went in.
