So, that went well.

It's crazy how we can go from nearly breaking a club record of amount of games without conceeding at the beginning of the season, to conceeding 5 against Braintree... F*cking Braintree?!

To anyone not at the game - fair play to Braintree!

Kept it on the deck
Passed to a teammate
Kept formation
Took their chances when they came
Defended as a team

It's really not hard, we make football the fecking hardest game in the world to play.

One burning question:

What do the players do all week?

Indeed I'd love to know what they practice on the training ground because a lot of the goals that we've conceded lately have come from defensive mistakes. Our passing is awful, I lost count of the amount of times we either hoofed the ball long to no one or tried the simplest of passes only to have it intercepted. They just don't know how to function as a team or how to master the basics.

This is the first time while I've been a supporter that I have seriously feared for our future, we have no money, the squad is totally inept, as it seems is the manager - which is such a shame as I so wanted him to do well - and no one knows who will be running the club next season or in what division we will be playing in.

Who ever trains the ladies team needs to come in and show this shower of s..t how it is done. At least they seem to know what a goal is and that the idea of the game is to put the ball in it.

Get pissed and watch the darts.

JUST FORK OFF NOW HARGEAVES AND LEAVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEIR DOING.

We've just been beaten 1.5 at home by a team with a keeper worse than our own, a team who for the first 20 minutes of the season half couldn't pass water let alone the ball to team mate, their players were probably at work yesterday, some, if not all of them will no doubt have to be up for work tomorrow. Fair play to them they fully deserved it.

W e need a new board, new manager and a new team quick, other wise get your maps out for the conference south. If CH is still our manager by 9am tomorrow, I'm going to want to know why? We can't afford to pay off, joking, we can't afford to keep this terminal loser.

Anyone know if there is a link to the post-match interview somewhere?

Selection poor again what was Downes our best header of the ball doing on the left, if he was in the middle for the first goal we would not have conceded. No pace in the wing back areas and a flat midfield.

There is only one thing that can happen now Chris has got to be honourable, as what ever the directors do it can only get better.

Oh forgot to say, after weeks of promising a reaction, today CH promised all out attack, goals, goals. CH didn't get that half right, he was spot on, Braintree proved it.

He promised we'd score too - and we did....

If Hargreaves promised all out attack why did he play three center halves? - Really it shows that he has lost it bigtime.

Think we have to say whilst we reflect our p*ss poor efforts a very well done to Braintree.

From what I heard on the radio they scored some pretty well taken goals and "played like a team" as Steve Breed said on commentary.

The Pub Team from Essex certainly did one over on us tonight.

BBC say its the biggest loss at home since going down to a club-record 8-1 loss to Scunthorpe in October 1995.
