Title: Braintree - match thread
Post by: Mrs Warbouys on April 27, 2016, 09:20:27 PM
Well this is it, do or die. Same starting 11 as last week I suppose. Bit tedious that it's on tv as it's likely to lead to a drop in numbers from us, I assume bowerman is available now if needed, might as well have him on the bench as opposed to a kid, who's going?

2 of us from Cambridge and 2 meeting us enroute from Alty.

I thought we'd released Bowerman after his joke loan at Telford was over ?

He went on loan to Stourbridge for the remainder of the season, their season finished on Saturday

Whatever the team selection, whatever the outcome, whatever other results may be I just want everyone to give 100%. To quote Dylan Thomas -
"Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
Logic is all against us - but you never know ...

I predict a fair amount of rage at full time.

All the playoff losers, Tamworth, Darlington 1883, possibly Salford City, Guseley/Halifax.....it'll be a tough season.

Fylde and Salford worry me the most and actually there is always the one team nobody fancied being up there, my guess would be tamworth

Rather surprised there will be no segregation for such an important game for both teams.

They beat us 4-0 at ours and we haven't won away since November, I think the locals will be going home happy. Plus their hardcore is no more than 600 anyway, even with the glory boys it won't be that bad. Sure they'll be a few mockney types with 'that's why you're going down' when the first goal goes in but we'll just have to stand there and take it tomorrow. Fair play to them incidentally for getting in the play offs ahead of many bigger teams and on what I assume is a small budget (hell maybe even smaller than whatever Macc have made up this season). No, tomorrow is all about Braintree. We have been crap for the last calendar year and now we are reaping what we have sowed. I just hope we get a decent boss next week.

Well done to everyone going today. I haven't got the stomach to watch us go down again. I know it's much too little too late, but I really hope the lads at least give it their all today, if only for the travelling support.

3-0 down, radio Robins have described it as spineless, at least it goes with the rest of the Tolson reign.

Can I add to some thing that I said at the fans forum, when has appointing the assistant of a struggling manager ever worked? Maybe in a chemists not at a football club !
A caretaker manager is there for a short period until some one / anyone better comes along- we were told it was a unanimous decision and the best option as the usual suspects had been on to the football club about taking over both untrue.
 Why not assess after two or three defeats or weeks and make a better decision then?
The game like the season is shambolic and embarrassing.

Post by: Bath Alty on April 30, 2016, 07:44:15 PM
that was totally unacceptable performance.  Several players not putting any effort in in the second half - Griffin in particular stood out but probably only because he was closest to the camera.

And the board had the cheek at the forum to justify the appointment by comparing it to the Chester situation when Chester were safe and didn't need to kick on like we did.

I've been at Dover, Colchester, Leamington, Bognor, Braintree and the rest and the white flag was ran up today.

Tolson utterly the wrong decision and too many of the players (Griffin, Havern, Moult) have gone backwards over the last few months. Next season with some big names and a lot of local derbies we can't afford to make it up as we go along like we have done this season. The Board really need to appoint the right manager and we need fresh blood. The board also need to understand that people who travel up and down the country and pay their money have the right to criticise. The paying fans have been badly let down this season.

Poor form the stadium announcer to keep telling everyone when Guisley scrored.

If they don't segregate the Grimsby game it could well be carnage

I ignore what commentators say especially at the lower lge games. These fkn Chancers that were once players are just money grabbing tossers who haven't a fkn clue about non league teams. Most of them have trouble stringing two sentences together that make sense

As for that T**t Mark (Clem) Clemmit enough said
