How was the foul on Newby as we scored the second only a yellow?
The fracas after the first goal was all a bit overblown. Nothing in it for me.
Elephant....room....has CCC picked up an injury from the relentless kicking he received? We only had four fit players on the bench again (If Amaluzor is 100% I'm pretty sure he'd have been given a run) and if CCC isn't fit, and with Linney definitely out, we're going to struggle for cover. We certainly need Donowa back (played a full match for Chorley last night, and his long throw would give us an extra tactic), and a loan striker would be of real benefit.Parky said tactical to bring Dior on, it tied up a defender or two quite often as we played 4-4-1 and at times 4-5. Dorking manager said same in his interview and it hampered them somewhat as they ran out of steam. I am sure come Saturday we will see Justin at some point
I saw a post somewhere on the Facebook group about Justin Donawa going out to Chorley to 'balance the books' - where did that come from?
If it's true, I must say it makes me more relaxed about some of the recent decision making, as NOTHING should put our balance sheet at risk.
Could it also have contributed to Parky's slightly strained words around the support base a few weeks ago?
We've seen how it goes for clubs around us that push beyond their means, and it's very evident that we've been very ambitious already this season with recruitment.
As a bit of guide, we had players reject deals with other established National League clubs to come here - and then there was Crankshaw, Mooney etc -who won't have come cheap.
Maybe it's just about seeing the season out now, and seeing whereabouts we land.
