Wessex I see Brendan Wiredu is not in the matchday squad. If not injured then that is worrying. Still the team is a positive one. Up the U's | |

You'd think he must be - too early to be putting him under wraps if someone is planning on making an offer in January? | |

Wessex he is now officially super sub We have had the most shots and on target efforts but a late goal 45+3 gives Stevenage 1-0 lead. Lots to do second half Up the U's | |

Super U's to prevail at the Lamex on 16:59 - Nov 20 with 1068 views | wessex_exile | And that's that - so disappointing after all the positivity of the last few weeks. We may have been the better side in the first half at least, but it counts for nothing if you don't put the ball in the net. Question whether Shamal's foul was inside the box or not, but if it was outside it would have been a straight red, albeit we might have gone in at half-time 0-0. Fortunately, two easy home games coming up against Exeter and Newport...oh dear :-( | |

It was inside box. Definite penalty, but George had no option but to go for the ball, but the forward too clever, nudged it past him and fell over keepers body. I thought Kettle had a decent game. Despite this, a game we should have won. I don’t think Nouble was offside when he put the ball in the net. Stevenage didn’t look like scoring. We were excellent except in the final third. I say drop Sears who barely had a kick, and push Jasper forward , Drop Nouble, Replace with anybody that wants the shirt. | | | |

Gerry I feel your pain. Football is not a difficult game. Our problem is that for seasons now we have not had a striker who can score goals, hence our current predicament. We bossed possession today, had more shots on target and off target, had more corners but had no-one to put the ball in the onion bag. In Syl Jasper we have someone who needs to play as an out and out striker but instead we insist on playing him in midfield. Big Frank is finished as a striker and should be dropped. The Michael Folivi situation is clearly not going to happen anytime soon if at all. We are putting money into the war chest ready for a January swoop, the problem is that any more shocking results like today and we can forget about attracting the right person because they will not play for a struggling team. Last season I bored everyone rigid talking about Scott Quigley who was the perfect striker for us. An old fashioned centre forward who knows where the goal is and is guaranteed to score 15-20 goals per season. Big spending Stockport County signed him from Barrow and he showed on TV this week what he can do in front of goal. I do not know who the club has in mind but we cannot attract the right type of striker because of our parlous record over the past 6 years. Decline and fall has been the order of the day. We have sold all the quality players, squandered the cup run money and the management have pissed off the faithful so that we are struggling to attract crowds of 2,750 at present. It is simply not good enough. The poor result today has deflated everyone and set back our excellent recent run of results. The optimism has taken a huge hit today at lacklustre Stevenage. At the very least we should have converted one chance, Big Frank scored an "offside" goal but with three decent efforts on target one should have gone in. Exeter City come to town on Tuesday and then Newport County. So this is what HM needs to do. Drop Big Frank altogether. Play McClousky, Dobra and Jasper as a front three with three in midfield and four at the back. Sadly without Brendan Wiredu we are weakened substantially, but HM can still play Skuse, Chilvers and either Kenedy or Cooper ahead of MWH, Eastman, Chambers and Daniels. Turner will probably be in goal depending on the severity of the injury to George. HM must be bold and brave otherwise we will not pick up any points against the Grecians or the Exiles. Regarding the striker I don't have any names because all my favourites were snapped up by our rivals or National League big spenders. Jamille Matt, Paul Mullin and Scott Quigley would all have been tremendous for us but those ships have sailed. Even Erico Sousa on loan from Villa at Grimsby would have been superb. We go again on Tuesday night and it is our bogey team Exeter but without Ryan Bowman thank goodness who visit. HM must motivate the team to perform some heroics. 6 points would be magnificent. Can I see it happening, probably not but we must try for them. Very depressing tonight, the players know they must improve from this poor result. Seven defeats in the league so far from 16 games is poor to say the least but consider some of the teams Northampton Home 0-1, Crawley H 0-1, Salford H 0-2, Tranmere Away 0-2, PV Away 0-3, Sutton Home 1-3, and today Stevenage Away 0-1 Apart from PV and Tranmere Away we should have picked up points against some of those shocking teams. The missing link is a striker, end of story. But can we wait until January when the die may well be cast on another lackluster season and the writing will be on the wall. Oh well it could be worse, we could be Manchester United! Up the U's Come on let us be brave, bold and adventurous to get those points in the next two home games. | |

Super U's to prevail at the Lamex on 23:33 - Nov 20 with 883 views | durham_exile | Have just watched the so called penalty which was clearly outside the box. However the ref Mr Kettle did us a favour because otherwise George would have been sent off for handling outside the box. But that looked to be the only effort they had on goal. Moan over.

It is true that George ends up sliding outside the box and breaks his ribs, but from inside the ground twenty yards away it looked as if the foul/contact is committed by his hand when inside the box. Does it help when fans are chanting "Kettle is an anchor" before the match has even started? We can't blame him for our inability to score. Sears and Nouble should be dropped, and Humes sacked. | | | |

Orthopaedic? More likely arthritic given so many Ipswich has-beens. Ipswich fans are now “told you so” gloating! They were released by the Tractor Boys for a good reason. Humes Out! | | | |

Having now watched the slo-mo replay on TV’s Quest, that might suggest George’s hand might have handled the ball outside the area before the attacker tumbled over him inside the area. I thought that particular arm also touched a leg inside the area, but I might be wrong. Didn’t see contact with ball. Could suggest that the correct decision might have been a free kick on the edge of the area and a red card. But an impossible judgment call in real time for Kettle and Lino who can only give what they thought they saw given no VAR. Had we gone down to ten men, I doubt if outcome would have differed and we deserve little if we fail to score. Need a miracle Tuesday, especially if Eastman is injured. | | | |
