We weren't great either. Neither of us would/will get past Salford on that performance.

This summer we need to completely rebuild our forward options. But more importantly we need to rethink the way we play. I think Hughes will try to do that, he gave it a go before but our current squad couldn't do it.

Gutted tonight. Might give RP a miss for a while until the froth dies down.

We were better than Eastleigh and would rather lose to them than Salford. Leighton and Pearson are our only two quality players. The midfield and forwards were awful as were our tactics to have the slowest build up play in the world. The team selection was poor as was the ref.

Thanks but I wasn’t selected tonight (might have scored had I been!!)

Refaree you absolute cheat! Hang your head in shame for that decision. The team gave it everything

[Percy Sugden]

Plenty of passion.... can’t fault the players efforts

Unfortunately the ability wasn’t there. It hasn’t been there since Ricketts left.

The likes of Pyke, Maguire-Drew were never replaced. The manager was never replaced properly and it was solely the Football club board that were at fault.


Ask yourselves this, will the likes of Rutherford, Wright, Holroyd etc receive any interest from any of the top 7 sides should they not be retained?

Tonight reminded me why I stopped going to the last 5 or so home matches. Won't be back next season we are sh1te. The whole club needs gutting, new board, new squad, new management and new style of play. I don't recognize the way we play its just pathetic, we have no identity.

Sums my thoughts up nicely!!!!

I’m not parting with 20 quid every week to watch us struggle against pub sides.

Set pieces and nothing else, we really are a Non League club and that’s the way it’s going to stay.

We really don't. Let's be honest, it's anti football and in this league I've had a belly full of it.

In tonight’s one off game, we were devoid of ideas and had penetration. For the home team, we had to take the game to Eastleigh, and we didn’t/couldn’t.
Oh yes, we scored a perfectly good goal that was disallowed, but it all balances up in a season.
Eastleigh didn’t do much more than us on attack, but looked much comfortable on the ball. The referee let Eastleigh get away with lots of professionalism. Failing over, pretending to be hurt and just wasting time. They seemed to want penalties, but nicked the game in the later stages. Was it a fair result? Hard to say from a hardened WAFC fan. The onus was on us to attack and we found it tough.
I am not a lover of yozzer due to his lack of managing experience at this level, but he now must issue his retained list and not be afraid to ship out the dead wood. We all have our favourites, but if Grant, Wright, Roberts and Rutherford are all here next August, I will be off !
We were perhaps deluded that we could sneak up through the lottery of the playoffs. Best of luck to Eastleigh, but I feel that Salford will destroy them.
