That was much better.
Defending was much more proactive. Much more energy all around.
There were other changes of emphasis, but without Widdrington the centre of midfield looked much more dynamic. Having Max back in there was great too, he leads by such a great example.
Dowse has blamed counter ...

Re: Maidstone (h)
Ouch. Don’t get me wrong, Maidstone are a very good side.
However, it was obvious at our last home game that we had a big problem in central midfield. A couple of us mentioned it in this forum.
The funny thing is, I think the back four did okay, considering. And Mike Atkinson had a good game too ...

Re: Slough Town (H) 22nd August 2026
Well, that was… interesting.
First off, credit to the lads for the comeback. That took guts.
Thought we looked very good on the flanks. The wingers had great games.
But oh, when we’re defending, that central midfield needs to have a word with itself. Thought Mike Atkinson played well, but there ...

Re: Horsham
That is poor in this day and age. He's made it clear that he doesn't like social media. But you can't say you want to improve the connection with the fans and ignore the number one method of doing so.TW10 wrote: Tue Aug 18, 2026 3:40 pm I notice no video from Dowse after the poor performance at the weekend

I’d like to know if we’re having plastic flowers around the edges, to complete the look.

Re: News of former players
A shame about Frimpong. Brought a much needed busyness to our midfield.

Re: Review of the season- some stats
Thanks for those stats, Tony.
I have to say, I think we were saved by Dowse's astute use of the loan system. Eduino, Nana, Kwaku and Daniel played vital parts in the relegation struggle.
I think Max returning also helped us a lot. He helped organise the press up front, which was much needed.

Happy end to the season. Enfield not great. We looked a bit drained but went about it professionally.

Re: Chippenham (h)
That was a nervy performance, but phew, after our descent earlier in the season, major props to Dowse and the team. They’ve done a grand job to keep us up.
Thought Chippenham had done their homework very well, playing with a solid centre, trying to nullify our overloads in central midfield in some ...

Re: Farnborough
Nice to see a back four. Gave us lots of intensity in midfield which made Farnborough panic. Great goals too.
Everybody worked so hard.
Special well done to Max. He leads the press so well.

Re: Horsham (h)
That was superb. The intensity from all the players was first class. They didn’t let up at all.
In defence we didn’t let them settle. Their ball player was often surrounded by several of our guys.
Attacking wise, the support play was great, lots of movement.
Particularly enjoyed Mike Atkinson’s ...

Re: Dover Athletic
I do think it’s time to ease Massey out the starting 11 and move to a back 4.
Lacey always impressed me at right back. King and Fernandez should be more than capable in a 4 .
I’ve never been a huge fan of 3 centre backs but it kind of worked for us today.
I think the difference was that we ...
