Personally, I dont think we did deserve to lose. However, we didnt deserve to win either. I have to join the chorus of disapproval, though. The display was dire. Agreed that Collins is not worth his place. Christ, even Essendoh looks better than him. That goes on the other times Ive seen him as well. The only thing he's done in those 4 or 5 games is score the goal against Folkestone. Thats it.
I think its a great shame Batch has ditched Sturgess. Out of all the youngsters, he's the one that has impressed me the most. Trouble is, he tries to play football rather than lump it up the field. I dont think Clements has added to the team, but taken away by Nightingale being dropped. Clements has the pace of a greyhound, but looks like he has the footballing skills of one, too. I really cant see what Batch is trying to do with this long ball rubbish. Most of the time the midfield just watches the ball go over their heads. Last season we played some decent football towards the end. That seems to have gone out of the window. A bloody shame.
