Keates' challenge now is to win on Monday against Torquay. Anything less than 3 points would be a major set-back.

His options are now closing due to all these unfortunate injuries, but I fully expect him to make more mistakes as he runs out of ideas.

Shame, but it's not over yet if he gets his act together.

Look see all the Keates bashers have come out of the woodwork.
Look we were unlucky with 2 injuries. Most teams would have been effected. Until Ponti went off we were the better team and started the game on the front foot bet
ter than any other game imho.

I'm afraid to say that Pearson lost his man badly to allow him to score, rather than it being down to Lainton.

Agree re injuries
Overall we didn’t take one of the the many chances in first 20 minutes.
We were the better side then.
Unfortunate with injuries
With Kwame or even Ponticelli we’d probably have easily won.

Ref let play flow early
Then bottled a 2 nd yellow quite a few minutes before gave one.
Unfortunate timing of our last sub as if a few minutes later we’d be 11v10. The season is by no means over. Of course we will all hurt today but this is not a bad team by one game. And of course each game becomes more important . For me this season was a hope for big things but really it’s a free hit as it’s a WST and all of us funded team built well by Keates. As always the next game is one to look forward to. Try not to be too despondent today friends

We never went away.....just kept quiet watching Keates luvvies getting their hopes up without any real justification. We won't be going anywhere with Coach Coco in charge.

2 disastrous injuries show up our dire lack of options up front, then compounded by subbing on Durrell ahead of Jarvis.

Feels like a kick in the teeth today and season over..

Agreed. When it comes to it, we won’t be going up because any playoff match will look pretty much like that one. He wasn’t in charge but see the Eastleigh playoff game for a preview on how we’d do in the playoffs.

It's not his fault in the slightest, we only had 3 strikers at the club. He had no role in any of it.

We'll end up where we deserve to finish. All clubs have injuries, it's how you plan for the eventuality that determines your season. We've lost 2 players, not 10. It shouldn't be having that much of an effect on a squad, but it will here.

That's the danger, but Keates must motivate the players to think we can still make the POs.

His starting-XI on Monday will show his mettle. Let's see what he comes up with.

Hugely disappointed.. they were there for the taking and, until we lost Ponticelli, we dominated. Bringing Durrell on (and playing him as a target man!) showed two things to be wrong; our lack of strikers (as pointed out by many fans previously on RP) and Dean Keates' decision to bring Durrell on when he had a better option on the bench in Jarvis.
This was the first 6 pointer and we have a number of those coming up with a weakened squad and a dent in confidence. Being further penalised because of being under Wales FA rules doesn't help as our options to bring someone in are extremely limited, unlike every other team in the league.
In all, a bad day all round.
