yes i have been avidly refreshing this page with my 6th finger.
Whitehawk looked very sharp tonight and were clearly more determined than the Albion, unfortunately this manifested itself in a few tackles where they went 'over top of the ball' and took the man, particularly Elliott in the second half.
The referee was poor and missed a clear penalty in the first half (handball) and a couple of possibles in the second half.
Greer looked composed during the half he played. Murray 'buzzed' about though fairly ineffective. The young left back was shaky and was vulnerable every time Whitehawk attacked.
Second half Bennett played fairly well, but after a positive start the team tired badly. Kishishev looked good at Burgess Hill, but tonight he was 'gone' after about 10 mins and everything passed him by. Poke was clearly at fault for the 3rd goal (although he felt he had the ball kicked out of his hands).
I'm sure things will improve and did not leave too disheartened.

IT DOESNT f***ing MATTER...... how many times do we have to say this.
ITS MATCH FITNESS>>>>>THE RESULT DOESNT MATTER >>>AAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH
Of course it is, otherwise they wouuld play their strongest team. However, seeing the bollocking that Elliott gave Poke for the 3rd goal and Gus' reaction in the dug-out, I would suggest that the result and performance matters more to the management and players than you realise.

Not this week... Gus said today , that its fitness not results. Think it was in The Argus or the web site
As the pre season goes on for sure, and by Portugal, then yep, i think performance will be important.

I agree we need another striker, a top one at that.
But I'd be a little worried if we were playing like world beaters already.
Fitness now, performance later.

Still interesting to hear what happened from someone who was there
Did he even say it mattered?
Cheers for the input mate.I'll be interested in hearing what Gus has to say about this result.

Didnt think the players looked interested in playing, more interested in protecting themselves from serious injury due to savage tackles by the Whitehawk players and no protection from a very poor referee. For the 3rd goal the player took both the ball and Pokes hands that was holding the ball and he justifiably complained about it but to no avail. Ther good points are that at least no body got injured or allowed their dsicpline to go and thus get sent off.

Just got back, Greer looked decent very composed on the ball and won everything in the air. Sparrow wants the ball and is composed as was kishishev. Poke was poor it definitely was not kicked out of his hands. We need a striker urgently and I worry we don't have a midfielder who can unlock doors from the centre of the park.

I know it was only a friendly and played at half pace by Albion but the lack of pace concerns me. Apart from Benno everyone is really rather slow. If he brings in Lua Lua and a pacey striker then problem resolved.
Has it not occured to you the players probably worked there nuts off in training today?

We are slow though, that is quite evident however there are not many fast teams at our level really
