Well In reading the comments I would broadly agree. Before the game I felt that this was never going to be easy,. Our visitors have a good record at Beveree and their team are better than their league position.
When I saw the team the selection it surprised me Atkinson and Sorondo are similar players in style and to my way of thinking were too defensive for a home against a team struggling and looking to pack their defence. Up front Wall lacks mobility and offered little threat.
We had chances but lack creativity to fashion clear chances. Ok we hit the bar in the first half and their keeper pulled off a couple of saves and there was a clearance off the line.
Despite having all the play especially in the second half the inevitable happened their solitary break away and a soft goal. Despite several changes to the team the game was lost as they just defended and wasted time.
Poor result but a warning that the spectre of relegation is still there.

We've now only scored one goal in our last nine games against St. Albans.

Julian's interview confuses me. Saying the "table lies," and that "they're a really good team." They certainly didn't show that today and to have not won all season before today shows that too. Don't think even their fans would say they're a good side.

A very disappointing result.
Did anyone notice the two dozen fans on the main terrace wearing Richmond FC/Ted Lasso shirts.
I am not sure if they were tourists but it is money into the club.......
They were on a Stag Do, and took part in the half time penalty shoot out.

On a side note. Weston Super Mare play in the FA cup today if they win our game at home to them on 2nd November will be postponed.
WSM won 3-1 today and our game on 2nd November is postponed.

It might be that there are just not the staff available to give the content that folk would like.
If resources are limited, maybe the club should survey fans on what sort of content they would like. They would then know if fans want jokey fash mash up videos etc.

Agree but how to get this to function. We don’t want to get into the toxic relationship that currently exists at Ks!

Ks are in a totally different space. All I am suggesting is some more information that would help supporters understand better what is going on. It's how you build empathy and engagement with your supporters.

Incredibly they don't include the incident quite late in the first half where Wall broke free and only had the keeper to beat but rather than getting a shot away decided to hold it up and lost the ball. I thought that was one of our best scoring chances...and also evidence that Bunmi should be starting.

They do show the deflection on the goal but for which the keeper probably makes the save. Nonetheless we needed to be much more clinical in our finishing.

Think it already been commented already. Babajide should start always before Wall.. We definitely need another striker , Roberts plays wide right which is ok but the central striker needs support quickly we currently seem to rely on Keeya and Williams who are not natural strikers. Brissett seems to have dropped down in pecking order.
