We are playing no forwards... against Basingstoke?


Collins is a forward isn't he?

Hmmm... seems our 5-5-0 formation isn't working... I'm shocked.

HT: 2-0. Frustrating so far. Lots of possession and some decent half chances. But credit to the hosts who made the most of their chances DH

Surprised there's no Carew or Gabby in the squad. Mind you, there's plenty of pre-season playing time left i suppose.

We've got a game tomorrow, they'll be playing in that one I'd imagine.

It's Basingstoke.....  Thought we had a great youth system etc. Impressive reserve team etc etc.
Professionals. All trying to prove themselves as worthy. Sorry "It's not that bad"? Yes it is that bad.
In fact it is very worrying.
