Surely we will win this one comfortably, so 3-0 and Marquis back on target for no.1. 6200 there.

They have 3 of their main players missing so going back to my old for cast of 6 nil victory ( seem to have gone off the boil since I stopped posting it ).
Little Alfie to score, Marquis if he doesn't start . Crowd 5678.

I'm in Florida enjoying a little winter sun and so I'm in a sunny mood and so 3-1 to the Rovers with Alfie scoring if he starts or otherwise Grant. Crowd 5939.

Poor defending for the goals not taking chances 2 points lost in afraid

Once or even twice is excusable, but there must be faults present in failing to prevent very moderate teams from scoring. The evidence of weakness is difficult to refute now.

If Portsmouth win their game in hand danger threatens.

I hope to see them on Tuesday and possibly on Saturday too, so it will be interesting to compare what they are doing now with the performance versus Barnet.

Their first goal came from a pointlessly lost ball in the opposition half after which it was swept neatly straight through the Houghton-sized hole in the middle of the field and dispatched past out keeper without even the semblance of a tackle. Good equaliser for us after some excellent play, and when Marquis rifled in May's exquisite assist late in the second half it looked all over. But no. A free kick straight down the middle of the area foxed everyone and they drew level. There was a swirling wind but was it a keeper error? After that he certainly looked a bit shaken and didn't come to collect a through ball on the edge of the area that was clearly his. Fortunately a defender managed to block their forward and stopped them taking all the points. On the plus side we played some great stuff, could have scored three or four, and May was a revelation. On the minus side Williams came on for May but contributed, well, nothing. Also, as I pointed out last time, we are being serially out-muscled and bullied out of games in the middle. We have Marquis battling at the front but I think we need a hard man to shield the back four.

I have got to disagree with some of that Albee.
May did well but he was far from being a revelation.
I think he found it harder going today against a very physical defence and I wasn't surprised when he was hooked.
He also dallied over a great chance to score in the first half and the ball was cleared.
Williams for me did ok with his added physical presence.
It was Williams' turn and pass which set up the chance that Rowe missed ( as big a sitter as you will ever see).
Baudry looked a bit rusty when he came on and three times he took too long playing the ball forward and was twice closed down, the third one almost creating the late chance for Accrington.
We had a couple of good chances to seal the win but again didn't take them and paid the price.
Certainly we did miss Houghton but to be fair I thought Middleton did a decent job and actually got better as the game went on.
Once again I saw some strange refereeing decisions.
However, a part from Portsmouth closing the gap to fourth to ten points no damage has been done and there is now one less game to play.
Butler took a knock very late on and limped through the last five minutes.
Hopefully he will be ok to play on Tuesday.

There were some visitors from Notts Forest in the seats behind us who couldn't believe that May had been playing at Hythe. Despite his size he gave the AS defence a whole lot more problems than Williams, who just looks lost. Rowe did indeed miss a sitter but I actually fancied him for MoM, although I am a huge Blair fan, as he ran their left side ragged in the second half. Coppinger does some good stuff but now takes too long to pass, cross or shoot. Middleton is nowhere good as Houghton and I can't see why Ferguson rates Grant so highly. We have a soft centre and to win this league we have to toughen up. All highly subjective judgments of course!

Agree with most comments. We did look a little lost and cluttered in midfield. Very little width to our play which suited them. Definitely outmuscled a lot of the time.Taking off May and Copps did seem to lose us impetus at the wrong time as we seemed to be creating more gaps at the time. Their first goal inexcuseably sloppy, from losing possession unnecessarily and through the back 3 or 4 unchallenged. Nobody seemed to know what the system was to start with. I like Alfie. What he lacks in height and weight he certainly makes up for in energy and persistence. Whilst he did miss a great chance he certainly kept their defence occupied allowing Marquis and Rowe more space. Copps a little off the pace towards the end but probably should have stayed on a little longer. Descended into hoof ball towards the end.

Agree about Grant albie, he isn't as influential as I was hoping he would be.
I also fancied Rowe as MoM.
Nookie, I also like Alfie and he does look like he will be a very good player for us but I thought he struggled to have a major impact on the game today.

Well yet again it turned out to be men against boys. Shocking waste of 3 glorious chances missed, bullied out if game, nearly lost it too.
Took a mate from work who's a big man u fan. Been allover Europe watching them.
His take on the game. By far the best footballing team but have no guts. Lost the fight in midfield, said they'd get an equaliser as it gives the other team confidence when you keep missing chances. The lad May looks to be a really good player once he gets used to the physical battles ahead. Thought Grant Rowe just seemed to be going through the motions and not going all out. Didn't think the back line looked comfortable, to one sided as Alcock kept having to clear from both sides of the pitch. Copps is still a very good player but has lost a lot of his ability to beat players like last season. He said we'll go up but could get pipped to be champions as some players seem to be dropping their heads when we should be fighting to get 3pts. Said we don't have any stand out leaders to get the players over the line and need someone who's willing to get a booking or two by sticking his foot in instead of backing off letting them win the battle in the middle of the pitch.

Which could some up our last few games.

Hound .
Baby lanza went to Exactly the same game as you.
Same remarks re Middleton and May.
A little more scathing about a certain other players
Performance.
