What an incredibly frustrating game of football.
On another day we win it comfortably as we definitely had the chances but the one thing that sticks out is just how naive we are across the entire team. Kings Langley dealt with going down to ten men superbly. Defended resolutely, rode their luck and plenty of tactical fouls across the entire pitch. Polar opposite to us against Leighton.
Our biggest problem this season is we seem to consistently start too slowly and there are only so many games like this we can keep dropping points. Without the superb Callan in goal we'd be 2/3 goals behind within the first 20 mins in most games.
Massive massive game against Thame on Monday. A big win is needed or we'll be talking about a mini league of three of us at the bottom for the rest of the season...
Do we know if Woody’s suspension kicks in Monday?

Kings Langley will be delighted with those three points given the circumstances of the game. Rene is such a good forward at this level and was complimented by their 7 who played well also.
I can’t remember too many if any poor performances from our side. As has been said elsewhere it was small individual moments of error which decided the game. Small margins will decide a lot of games in a league as close as this one.
Yes Jack’s suspension covers Monday’s game. Will be interesting to see how Jack covers that as there’s a few options there in my humble opinion.
It was always going to be a big game as it is a sort of derby I guess but add in the familiar faces on the opposition bench and teamsheet and the league positions at the moment and it’s promising to be quite the occasion. We are more than capable of getting a result so I’m going to it full of confidence if not a little punch drunk after the last two games.

Squad to young and inexperienced. Agreed we do have some promising youngsters, but I wouldn't describe a squad containing Wood, Lynn, Bewley, 2 x Feyi, Hunte, Pearce, Cavana in our starting XI as too inexperienced. I am sure the manager would like some more experienced heads, but when players of that sort of age are asking more than double what we can afford to give them, it's very difficult!

You beat me to it Ian. Unless Santa delivered a pot of money!

The only way an inexperienced player becomes an experienced player is by playing games. We are a club where this happens both out of necessity and choice.
FWIW I think our squad has just the right balance between experience and inexperience. We just have to work on not falling on the wrong side of those fine margins as often.

Where have I said I'm not proud of the squad ? I have a different opinion that's all nothing wrong in that . Squad to young and inexperienced . Of course money talks but I have no idea of our budget .
