What a relief Mabete and Kircough are available for Sutton after how they played today.

Had the chances to kill them off, but to concede those 3 goals is disgraceful.

Second half, such a hard watch....wise heads must pick the bones out of that!!
 
We imploded, not one player, but the whole team and the substitutes collapsed. We lost our shape, our energy and our confidence drained away
 
A woeful start in the first minute - but we redeemed ourselves quickly with an excellent move; quality passing football and Jayden slotted home with ease.Then for the rest of the first half we were dominant, much the better team. We created so many good chances, most of them resulting in shots on goal. Yes we needed to be more clinical, but the Boston defence & goalkeeper were solid. I wasn't too worried at HT, surely second 45 we would score a couple.
 
Mellor's miss at the start of the second half set the pattern....and I don't want to think about what went wrong and certainly not describe it in words.
 
Not sure whether I want the Sutton match to go ahead, probably not...but on the other hand we must analyse what went wrong and then move on.

Truly shocking and shambolic second half performance - what on earth is going on ?. No consistency, no domination of opposition, no leadership in the camp, no guts !!. The club is showing no forward progress so far this season.......its a real pity that DV has little knowledge of football matters, instead paying someone else to run things. His trust in others has sadly been exposed as his biggest failure.....where do we go from here ?.

The trouble is we are are right back where we were 3 weeks ago.
We all thought the tide had turned with three solid performances.
Even the first half was OK, but what the heck was said in the sheds at the break, for them to come out so lacking in passion, ideas and steel in the second half?
No disrespect but we were playing Boston not Borehamwood.
Talking of whom, have pushed on this season and sit top...where we are back in the bottom half.
You simply have to ask questions of the manager....once again.
He chooses the team. He does the team talk. He decides the tactics. 🤦

Confidence in football as we know is built.
Three good solid performances should have been the foundation to push on.
Should have!!
Instead, against another 'supposed lesser' team, we crumble and at HOME!!
Totally not good enough.
This seems to reflect that something is seriously wrong behind the scenes.
From the continuing debacle and no comment from the club concerning the fan/player gate, to the recruitment and play on matchday.
We were supposed to have been pushing on this season, that's why the women's team was sacrificed.
That becomes even more harder to justify with displays like this.
Robbie is a nice guy, but we are now what 18 months into the project and rapidly going backwards.
In a tough league, he feels like a square peg in a round hole.

9 games played and already 10 points behind Boreham Wood …. they’ve certainly kept going after the disappointment of the play off final
