If we win today that will be it for another year. There is no way in hell that Orient or Newport will make up 15/16 points on us. |

How we won that i really don't know. We will play 10 times better and lose. We looked lethargic at a lot of times we were totally outplayed. Once Kaby went off we looked even worse. Blackman was awful Payne makes miles to many mistakes. It's a good job Orient couldn't finish or defend.
Still 3-0 and i reckon were safe. |

Once the game was won, I could hardly blame players for wanting to avoid injuries with so little to play for. For some of them, a long-term injury would mean unemployment pay. |

Really - I saw Morris make two great interventions in a last-ditch sweeper-keeper role and one fabulous save when one-on-one... it is very easy to overlook his brilliance...! |

The first Reds game I've watched in 2017 and to be honest it was pretty poor.
We got the three headers against the run of play IMO and didn't create much else in the first half. Orient were very poor and it frustrated me that we didn't really go for the jugular after the break and look to end the game with four or five goals, rather than opt for a more conservative approach - did anything happen at all in the first 20 minutes of the second half? Was Blackman injured? If not, what was the point in bringing Lelan on, when Harrold needs the minutes under his belt? After all, let's face it, Cox was always going to get game time today. Of players to take of them, Semedo did okay and I was impressed with Kelly in the middle of the park - reminded me of a more mobile Simon Walton. Was the game really a 3-0? Not on the balance of play, in my view. Orient were dismal and we were only a shade better. Amazingly, we're only 11 points off the play-offs. ![]() |

R, R & R is right, they didn't have a shot on target. Of course keepers have other things to do and Morris does it brilliantly, the most composed keeper we have had for ages. |

Orient were most likely the worst team we have played this season and the worrying thing is that er are not much better than them....cant say we really dominated them and left with others with 10 minutes left as bored buy that stage . Kaby was best player on pitch but was subbed after 60 odd minuites . Cant belive we are only a few games from the end of the season and dermott still dont know his vfirst choice squad. An un convincing victory, nothing to shout about..... |

Personally thought It was one of blackman better games. |

I agree - in fact he was my MOM. He made two telling last ditch challenges in the first half before we scored...And it was his quick thinking that gave Enzio the chance to score the third and completely kill off Orient. I'm struggling to think of another player that had that many interventions in the game with real results on the end of them. But Hey - Blackman's a target for a few fans because he has had more than his fair share of rubbish games so we tend to overlook when he doesn't have one |

Payne MOTM for me today. Two assists and a great ball in for Collins' goal. |

On a point of semantics... RR&R actually posted "..they havnt had a single attempt on target"... there is a subtle - but significant - difference between the two comments. ![]() |

Mark Beard has left Loxwood and could be a good person to support Drummy with running this side of things. |

Kaby got hauled off again! What does the kid have to do to stay on the for the full 90? Did anyone else in the ground think that Smith was having a better game?
Well done to the team though. We did what we had to do and all but guaranteed League football once again. I find some people hilarious. Even at 3-0 with Newport losing the bloke behind me still said "We need to be careful we don't get sucked into a relegation battle." Some people. |

Kaby took a knock in a tackle about 3 mins before. |

I saw that. He seemed to be running freely though and seemed very disappointed to come off. He's one of our better players, we need to keep him sweet. |

Whatever the case - and there is no point taking risks with a player's health when you are winning comfortably - it was clear that we lost our drive without him... he seems to be the one who sets the tempo and is becoming increasingly important to us. |

You've persuaded me RR&R... he is *beep*... get rid ![]() In fact, lets just throw everything away, get rid of the entire lot of them and just start again... and again... and again.. ![]() |

C'mon, You'd change everything three times a season, you're stuck in a loop. It's not like we've never tried the experienced manager route before.. last season we had an experienced manager in Yates and an experienced player in Barnard... sometimes experience isn't all it's cracked up to be. If coaching is about improving the talent you have, then I reckon the evidence of the progress of a few players from last season to this season is generally favourable...? But hey-ho, who cares about evidence, lets just start again..! |

I didnt appoint him but i backed him gave him my support but at the end of the day he either wont or cant change. Keep the dummy and we will join Newport and boring orient next season or very soon thereafter. |
