Just a few thoughts;

I hate reading posts like some put on this evening. We're all hurting at another defeat but it's not constructive or helpful to call the team spineless etc., Usually when we've been beaten - especially after a performance like today where the weakest Grays team I've seen were there for the taking - I don't post my comments till the day after giving me time to calm down and take stock.

Having said that, here are my feelings - as cooly as I can make them.

1. Joe O'Neill is only going to prosper playing off a big Centre Forward who's good in the air. We haven't got one and can't afford one so where does that leave Joe? given we can only play one player in that role and it would be Little's best slot too..
2. Lane played fantastic all day and is the best signing we've made for quite a while.
3. Scotty was clearly not match-fit and azza was not up to it. We can't afford a specialist left back so Warren must play there.
4. As others have said, Robbie is a fish out of water on the right. Bring him inside or drop him.
5. What a good clubman Acton is to come in like that and play a blinder.
6. The refereeing standards in this league seem to be getting worse by the week. That guy was shocking.
7. Let's just all get down to Marston Road and cheer the lads home cos if we don't get something out of that game, we're giving ourseves a mountain to climb.

Come on you Robins!

Actually, until today I'd been impressed by the match officials so far this season. That guy today was a complete and utter joke, assisted by a linesman (the younger of the two), who didn't have a clue what he was doing. It's only the fact that the team was so bad that these dreadful officials have escaped much mention. I just pray that the Blue Square people were there to witness it and drop these guys from their lists.
