Yes thats shut everyone up.

We've beaten the worst team I have ever seen who played most of the game with 10 men. After the penalty they should have equalised. Its a good woin I accept that in the cicumstances but blimey they were rubbish.

E/B had plenty of spirit but you're right they were rubbish. In my opinion so is every team in this league aside from Yeovil so I find it hard to fathom how we have lost eight games - the same as Truro except they sit in the relegation zone whilst we are the play-offs. The difference today was I cannot remember seeing one hoof-ball for the 90mins, everything was to feet and E/B could not cope with it.

Will Gary (the management team) take it on board finally, passing a ball with our team works, hoof ball doesn’t, noted the strength of the opposition to be taken in to account.

Pass the ball with intent and play for each other then we are good enough in NLS, however back off and pay the price. Once Jarvis is fit, yes okay to his strengths, but that doesn’t mean back to hoofing it up to him!

3 points job done, next game!

6th place, and 11pts off the top, still massively underachieving

A good win tonight but it means nothing if we can't follow it up Saturday

10Wins and 8defeats highlight this is a jekyll and hyde team, if GJ finds some consistency we might have a chance of 2nd

Whether he can do that remains to be seen

With a few players back from injury it appears we're not as useless as some more impatient fans would suggest. Everyone I've spoken to were impressed with the quality on show from us, that'll do for me all things considered.

Well, they played a lot better than last Saturday. Can only hope the form continues and Tonbridge are outplayed this coming weekend. There needs to be consistency of decent performances not dross. There is still a long way to go for there to be a creditable challenge for a promotion spot.

Only Yeovil have won more games than us, but only 4 have lost more!!! Crazy league.

Impatient?! We are approaching the halfway point of the season and are 10 points off the top, how much longer do you want to give them to find a patch of consistent form?

That's the standard required of passing and intensity but it's got to be every single game.
4 quality strikes . Two wins now v Tonbridge and Weymouth are a must

What was the new defender Archie like? I couldn’t watch the game unfortunately, but thought he looked decent in his first sub appearance the other week

It is offensive to deride shorter people as midgets. Please retract.

It is offensive to us short people to use the term midget. Please apologise.

The ONLY thing that matters this season is promotion. Nobody gets promoted in November but to some it seems we're already doomed to failure. Patience is seeing how we perform when we can put out our best side, last night was pretty close.....
