Improved performance on recent weeks. Two things happened unfortunately. The same weak mentality we've displayed all season came to the front. Yes ok Joe made a mistake, what he was thinking I don't know. You can give him that though because it will be at least six months before he makes another. However, the second they scored we caved. Midfield dropped off instead of pressing like we did all game prior.Taking Sammy off for when you need someone to take the sting out the game didn't make sense. The second thing is when your lucks down it really is down... just seen Rob's photos theos ruled out goal hits him in the face not the arm as the ref suggested. There equaliser was offside. I don't want to moan as we shouldn't need these decision but it's becoming ridiculous now.

Really??? Everyone who has met Joe comments on what a nice bloke he is and I am not questioning his effort or commitment but he has made a lot of mistakes this season. His kicking was awful all afternoon. Joe goes through six or eight game periods when he lots like a League goalkeeper - he looks the complete package and I wonder why he is not playing at a higher level but he also goes through long poor periods when he does not look good enough for the Conference South . Technically and physically he is a excellent goalkeeper but seems to struggle to put mistakes behind him. If he mades a mistake one week it seems to effect him badly in the next game - more than average.
Concorde were much the better the team until we scored against the run of play. In fairness I thought we used the goal as a launching pad and looked the better side until they got one back to made it 2-1. Their equaliser may have been offside but we just looked completely devoid of confidence after they scored.

A much improved performance today and the work rate was excellent, probably the best I have seen all season. I don't think we should criticise too much. I felt Concord were a very decent top half of the table side and that we were the better side for the majority of the game but we have to play for all of the 90 mins just as Concord did and not for 75/80 mins. I have no doubt that Ian Allinson will take the necessary steps to rectify that. I thought the referee was poor and couldn't see why the Theophanous 'goal' was disallowed or why the 2nd Concord goal was allowed to stand. Overall it was a very encouraging showing today and very disappointing not to come away with all 3 points. I wasn't going to go to Ebbsfleet on Tuesday but after seeing the positives today, I am looking forward to it. Yes it will be difficult and the likelihood is that we most probably will return empty handed but let's see. One thing I am sure about is that Allinson will turn this team around, maybe not this week or even next month but it will happen. Very good performances from Oshodi, Bangura and Staunton today.
COYS!

Much improved performance - time to now let the management team work on the improvements required so that supporters can get behind the team. Can't question work rate and commitment of players yesterday - just tired at end but to be expected given its been a while since they have been pushed that hard, and against a team that works very hard and doesn't give up

Just watched the highlight. Our ruled out third goal hits theo in the face. Sammy was marginally offside a lot closer than I thought. There equaliser is so offside as their player flicks it just before it crosses the line. Some luck would be nice......

Looking at the video, with the Theophanous 'goal' I agree that it appears that the ball is cleared by the defender, Dowie, directly into Louie's face. It is always to difficult judge camera angles at the best of times but I have to say that Corcoran looks level with the defender to me, when Louie actually makes the pass. With the equaliser, when Cawley shoots, Bantick is off screen when he is running in from the left. From the video, I think it is impossible to tell if it is offside or not at that point.
We are not getting the rub of the green at the moment, that's for sure but that is going to change.

Thought harsh on Locke being dropped, but I guess get a pro player in he has to play ??

Very poor refereeing performance on the weekend.
Not getting the rub of the green at the moment.
At least we have a proper manager now.

Very disappointing to draw a game when 2-0 up at home with 11 minutes to play especially as Theos goal should of stood (I can see why the ref might of thought it was handball as he raised his left arm as it hit him in the face)
I think the next 4 games will make or break our relegation battle (obviously this is posted after Ebbsfleet)
