Keep dreaming ,the club is dying [highlight=yellow]no amount of tub thumping from far away fans[/highlight] will stop the unfortunate demise of our fine club whilst RSI have any involvement in the running of. Just look at their history for Christ's sake or are you another one of the rose tinted glasses brigade who think it will never happen look at Hereford, Stockport,Darlington et al . Gates are dwindling the footballs crap its an awful way to spend a Saturday afternoon never mind a cold tues eve in dec watching your team consitently give it all away cheaply.
I think this, (as I'm one of these fans - but not a tubthumper) is harsh.
I'd love to come to every home game - but 4 1/2 hrs each way in the car and £50 of diesel is a bit much....
with regard to gates, they have been falling for a while in L1 & L2 as well as the NL.

Driving South to all games!
Agree with all the above comments but Owers can only use the players he's inherited plus the stop gaps he brought in to plug holes. Yes he's not turned it around as we all hoped but given a blank sheet and backing I reckon he and Kuhl could produce a competitive side, even if it has to be in National South.

Effective strikers are there in the levels below the National League but our previous management were telling all and sundry it was pointless getting off their arses and scouting them. Where do you think clubs like Dagenham, Boreham Wood and Bromley get them from?
I would argue being located near London helps attract players somewhat but I get the point.

Owers going spastic at the officials. Dorel had ball in his hands. Their player runs into our defender and linesman gives a penalty.
Same lino can give a penalty from sixty yards away but on two occasions in game couldn't see from two yards that the ball was out of play twice (three yards out of play)
He shouldn't be doing it (linesman) - he is only a young lad but he should be somewhere else.
At least we can look forward to seeing it on the question of sport, "what happened next" in a few years.
Alex Davey gives a bit of afters - strikes or attempts to strike the player with his elbow and then trips or attempts to trip him - direct free kick! Offence occurs within our penalty area - penalty awarded. Appears to me the ref/lineman called it correctly. Rather than criticise the officials, should we not be pointing the finger at Alex Davey who's act of retribution for his poor man marking that gave the free header for Boreham's first goal, just backfired!

It was a penalty. Davey retaliated in the penalty area. Utterly stupid.
Why also, does the team persist in the ridiculous strategy from kick off of booting the ball up in the air and as far as they can down the left wing? They did it under Nicholson. Has Owers not noticed they do it? They give away possession every single time. It’s brainless.
The observations relating both to Davey's double whammy contribution to the scoreline and Young's persistent pissing away of possession from re-starts are both indicative of just why this team is struggling............as I have said before ~ born and serial losers. Get rid!!!!
How is it a penalty for Christ sake? Andrade pulls Davey by the leg and then shoulder barges him. If you want to be pedantic there are two fouls by Andrade.
So you can quite merrily run into a player and shoulder barge him when the opposition have the ball. Its football not **** Roller Derby - its a ludicrous decision.
