GH's striking of the water bottle at fulltime was the best of the match for us

Although the f off was uncalled for

Who was this remark directed at?

It was only to some of the Heed fans at the top of the stand having a pop at him. GH looked at the end of his tether to be honest.

Yes it was some railing from the home fans. The usual GH passion

[gazwarrington]

Least just home fans....

Matty Crowell is useless without Kearney next to him,he is not good enough.

Matty Crowell is useless without Kearney next to him,he is not good enough.

This was an observation made by a number of us at the time

[bigcol]

On the bus home with a load of NUFC fans who also got beat 2-0.

Tactics are wrong - play 4-5-1, williams + smith are good enough and don't need another man, where the extra man is needed is in midfield to retain possession.

We've played 2 of the poorer teams in our league and got nowt, whilst a comparable team to ourselves like Tamworth are firing them in.

It IS possible.

Absolutely spot on.

Matty wasn't our worst player today.

he was, i have never seen a player so happy to lose the ball in mid field and saunter off without an apparent care in the world.

The trouble is, you have to shoot to score.

Please stop comments like this mate. Everyone's stressed enough as it is without this.

Why? This is a fans forum and our team have yet again failed to pose a single threat on the opposition's goal. At least against Kiddy we looked a mild threat on their goal.

Just one thing left to say for me. Bye Graham.

I don't care about what you say aftet the game - feel free to comment as you like. But on a Saturday afternoon when we're all either at the game or constantly refreshing these pages, your painfully dull remarks DO NOT help. I don't know if you have ever played football. If you have you will surely know it is not always as easy as being within twenty five yards and shooting. Please don't make Saturday afternoons any more agonising by making smart remarks.

[brian1925]

I was a goalkeeper. I remember having shots to save. Nowt smart about that.

The problem is that we are stuck in a pattern.

We start well.  Yesterday we were in control of the game for the first 30 minutes.  McCarthy was doing well on his own with three around him all the time and was making things happen.

However as soon as they score the match is over and we never ever look like getting back in it.

Gateshead were awful..I can't be arsed reading all the threads from last night but I havent seen that mentioned.  If thats what you get for a big investment and full time training then I bet their chairman will be devastated. 

The players are on the floor, the manager is clearly on the floor and now all the arguments will kick off on here and all around and it will only get worse and worse.

Something has to give...doesn't it?

[Nasha]

Might as well put all my thoughts on this thread.

As Ecky says, we were in total control, then they score and heads go down again. Though typical of some luck this season for us, Coates makes a good save, parries it and falls to Nelthorpe to smash it in. We force their keeper into a good save just after, parries it and cleared off the line by defender.

I know people like to have a go at Twiss, but as a striker you need support from the midfield, and in every time he has come on so far, he has not had any support. Lawton was our best player, Crowell had a mare, but Robbie was completely shattered (not often that happens!!), so thats why he came odd.

I think GH is, and always will be, a complete legend. Towards the end of the game, he looked to be the only one with hunger and passion. Not his fault he tells them to watch for the man who is free, and we let in a free header. But the stats are not lying. 14 league games without a win, dating back to Easter Saturday against Kidderminster (which is also the last time we scored in the 1st half). You can have all the excuses of losing Kearney, Doughty, Little, Senior, Young, but I believe most of the summer buys have it in them to get us out of this mess, but they are not performing at all, and unfortunately the buck stops with the manager.

Graham has been here before (Lancaster in FA Cup, Lewes), but everybody has their time, and I think now we have to come to the end of the Heathcote era.

I will we there at Eastbourne, willing the team on led by Heathcote or not.
