Such garbage on display today. Can we send Straker back to York? It was comical how awful he performed. Horwood seems a poor version of Robertson, we have never been anything more than average on the left since Townsend departed. That lad was pure class and unfortunately far too good to be playing here. Oh well, another year in this hell hole of a division to look forward to.

Nolan was the only player to impress today IMO. Why Hurst persists with Monkey we will never know on a day like today. Boreham were a big, slow side and we should have started with our quickest players. Onwards to Halifax, no point in dwelling on 2 points dropped. Heads up and carry on UTM.

I love the phrase "You cannot polish a turd" and it pretty much sums up the whole performance. There were very, very few redeeming features. Boreham Wood were limited in what they could do but did it really well. Part of the problem in the first half was that they closed down the likes of Gowling and to a lesser extent Tait and Horwood almost forcing them into hoofball. A couple of their players looked a little weighty to say the least and I fully expected that we'd run them ragged with our movement and the wind in the second half but it just didn't happen. Even in the first half the ball spent a lot of time in wide areas but we collectively lacked the application to get it into the danger area and were reduced to tippy tappy short passes which almost always came to nothing. It is a long time since so many key players had off days on the same day. Arnold and Monkhouse were as poor as I've seen them for a while with the former virtually anonymous in the second half. People were complaining when Arnold went off but it must have been a close call for Hurst to make and I suspect Arnold went because the new guy is clearly right footed. All this left Podge feeding off scraps and hoofing the ball in the direction of Pittman is only ever going to have one result Horwood took a knock but even before that his lack of match fitness was starting to show with some tired looking passes. Nolan got sponsors MOM and probably just about deserved it. He looks very good going forward but as many have said his defensive capabilities don't look anywhere near as accomplished as Clay's and with having two wingers who aren't great in the tackle a lot of the heavy stuff fell to Disley which could well explain why he was stretching for the ball when he picked up his tenth(?) booking of the season which could see us without him(?)
Omar was exactly what we've come to expect. A couple of times Boreham Wood struggled to get the ball off him, a couple of snap efforts, a bit of a paddy when he ran into trouble and didn't get a free kick and a bit of poor decision making when a short pass to Horwood out wide could have created real danger.
The new lad had an interesting cameo. On the positive side his first corner was better than Arnold has managed all season. On the negative he didn't look like he was prepared to really roll his sleeves up for the cause.

Which is just what we need in a new player and exactly what the York fans said. We'll done Hursty. At least we can all see the method and the intent. Pathetic.

Tinkering again has copulated with the whole team dynamic. Where was the desire and football we have seen for most of this season???? But nevermind we will make the play offs and intercourse it up again. Hurst should have gone Xmas 2014. He will never get us out of this excrement league Fenty has put us in.
I must confess to not understanding this tinkering accusation in relation to today. We were at home to a team whose record away from home suggests that they are quite good at shutting up shop. Hurst has a choice between Clay who defends well and Nolan who has already shown that he can pass the ball and drive forward, not forgetting an eye for goal. It seemed to me that if you need to break down a team then you want players who can make things happen. As for Pittman, he didn't play well today (starved of service) but did more in the 20 or so minutes he was on the pitch on Tuesday from an attacking point of view than Omar did for the rest of the time.

Robertson has shown himself to be a more than competent left back in his time here. He was after all part of the team that had the best post Christmas period since we've been down here.
