Well that was pretty bloody awful by the sound of it. Our fourth away game that we have conceded 4 goals, add the 4 conceded at home to Dartford and thats 20 goals conceded in just 5 games. We have now conceded a total of 30 in 20 league games so in the other 15 games we have conceded only 10 goals, go figure that!!! I think, very inconsistent is the perfect description of us at the moment. Very good in patches, very poor in other patches. Disappointing tonight to say the least.

We have some very good youngsters but it seems it’s still the tried and tested and not good enough that still get selected. This season is going nowhere with the personel we have now. Some are very good players but there’s no spine through the team. We must learn, Adam says in his interviews but a series of four goal defeats shows that that’s not happening. The pre Christmas results need to be improved or the great support from the supporters will plunge in the new year I fear.

Just watched the interview. Some interesting statements made by Adam. Players giving up etc. And there will be consequences for those players. So can we expect a different starting 11 on Saturday? It seemed not so long ago people were saying the squad is to big. And now look where we are. Injuries and work commitments leaving us only 3 on the bench. So not 100% sure where the personnel will come from to force those changes.

I thought things went downhill when Cashman went off. For me Worthing were the better side first half and should have scored twice. Once Danny went off we absorbed so many punches without getting any in ourselves, then there was only one result.

After the 2nd half sh*t show the icing on the cake for me was sitting stationary on the M5 outside Gloucester for 2 hours as a lorry just in front had overturned!!
And it was -5 when I got home to Ireshopeburn at 5.30, still, you've got to laugh eh!!!!!!!!!!!!
On the plus side the stewards, staff and fans at Weston were really good people who made us feel very welcome

So where does that leaves us? That was with specific reference to last night's trip to Weston. In general, football fans tolerate mediocrity if the group of players include youngsters that have come through their academy. Our squad appears to include several that are more interested in their social media profile than performing when the going gets tough. I would much rather watch players we have developed than most of this lot, irrespective of the outcome.

We seem to have an alarming turnover of players the last two or three seasons which will never get us to where this club needs to be, we will be going the way of Havant if we are not careful,,,,Adam needs to react pronto

Our squad appears to include several that are more interested in their social media profile than performing when the going gets tough. I would much rather watch players we have developed than most of this lot, irrespective of the outcome. In addition to the youth aspect we fans will also tolerate mediocrity when the product is ultimately greater than the sum of its parts... ie we're getting all we can reasonably expect from the squad. We bossed the ILPD through the Covid years without any real 'stars'. In truth we were no more than a blend of kids and good honest young men with a decent amount of skill but a whole heap more spirit and unity. There's been a conscious move to more technical, skillful players, 'names' in some cases. But whilst we've increased our technical level its seemingly come to the detriment of the team, the spirit. When the going is good the skills get turned on but when the going gets tough, there's no grit. You just couldn't imagine the long established old guard capitulating so often as we have this season, the group itself wouldn't have allowed it. It wouldn't be down to Hinsh to sort out, they'd sort it themselves. It seems that in increasing the quality of our parts we've somehow compromised the sum of those parts. Now I don't know anything about social media profiles, and frankly, I don't want to know. But if that sort of thing is going on it feeds perfectly into that narrative... a self not group attitude, individual not collective.

And none of them have done anything of note with their loan clubs to justify a starting place here two leagues up. I'd expect them to be tearing it up at their new clubs and they aren't. Even Meeks (who I love) isn't a regular starter at Horsham I think Jordan Adeyemi has gone to Hornchurch permanently too.
