From the website:
Regrettably our current well documented cash-flow issues have forced us to consider very difficult decisions re personnel.
Ollie Dennett’s loan from Havant and Waterlooville has recently expired. Following discussions between Tom and Havant manager Paul Doswell, the decision was taken not to renew the loan. Ollie leaves with our best wishes and thanks for what he did for in our colours.
Ben Gleditsch and Flavio Tavares have also left the Club to pursue opportunities elsewhere and both leave with our very best wishes for all they do in the future.
According to Manager Tom Killick, the injury to Harry Baker is responding well to treatment ahead of Saturday's game at the Black Gold against Farnborough Town. However although not ruled out, the striker is unlikely to play at this stage.

An unfortunate sign of the times the club is going through. Here's to a bumper crowd at Tatnam tomorrow....

Think it might be time for some of our reserves a chance of proving they have what it takes to make the step up, to the 1st team.

No chance of a bumper gate tomorrow based on recent performances and developments. The best the club can hope for, is that die hard regular supporters are still willing not to break the habit of a lifetime and keep attending home games. God knows we don't do so expecting to see a good game, but some commitment and endeavour from the players would make a nice change, as would some direction and honesty from club officials. Surely it's time for new leadership both on and off the pitch!

We were 2-0 up. Went 3-0 up. After the last two fine we only conceded a penalty.
Won 3-1. Managed the game well. Some people will never be satisfied.

Good all round team performance. Can't complain about a 3-1 win. That should lift spirits.

Very good 30 mins against a poor side In my opinion, but you can only play what's in front of you, got in behind them far to easy, game should of been well over at half time. 3 points and a half decent performance will satisfy me and most who were there today.

400+. Wa a good gate considering the issues we have. The game showed where we need to improve. No one watching the game except the official thought that the penalty was correct. However like rain, mistakes are common mistakes are common in football and referees are only human. suppose.
Playing Will up front was a master stroke he defended from the front and took his goal beautifully. Did we see the Marv of old too. Two headers and lots of threat again. Jamie put in the sort of performance I had forgotten he could and young Josh Lesley-Smith proved to me what I saw at Weymouth preseason. Future Centre back and also constantly talking to and organising other players.
Now the bad points. Despite the obvious skill of the back four, three of them were guilty of giving the all away in dangerous areas. A better side might have comeback like Truro did.
Again when there is a small setback (probably due to a lack of confidence) we sit back and let the opposition come on to us. Thankfully the long all was confined to a few odd occasions and although we all like to see this all played on the ground, sometime a hoof up the field is the best defensive option.
Well done lads.

Spot on John. Thought yesterday we got some of the cohesive play back we had early season.
The pace we went at in the 1st 15 minutes was never going possible to keep going for the next 75+.
Having got 2-0 up, it was a question of managing the game, to the end. Got the 3rd early doors, in the 2nd half.
So by the last 10 when the lack of match fitness, due to the lack of matches, started to show. No criticism though, as it will come back in time, providing the weather holds.
Hopefully a more considered & even paced approach to the game at Tiverton next week, as the Devon side will be an even tougher nut than Farnborough were.
Also can't help notice the lack of keyboard warriors on here today. You know the ones, who after a defeat are on here bemoaning, that everything at the club is totally wrong, before the showers have been switched on. 😉 Where are they? Thought they would want to come on here & praise the lads on a professional performance.
Well done TK & the team for yesterday's performance. Gives me confidence that not only could we still make the playoffs, but even take the title & gain automatic promotion. Enjoy your week. Look forward to seeing you all on the coach next Saturday to Devon.

Enjoyed my afternoon yesterday first league game back since by back surgery in August and it was good to see a reasonable crowd and a much improved performance from the team. As mentioned we shall have better opposition but you can only beat whats put in front of you. Tiveton next week away im sure will be a very tough game but the same effort shown yesterday and just maybe we can return with a point if not all 3.Regards forum members comments(me included) i think we all must respect that its there views and they are entitled to make comment even if some members disagree.

COYD 🐬 unfortunately due to personal reasons I couldn’t make the game on Saturday but from what I understand it was a far improved performance and well done lads. Onto the keyboard warriors then David well I for one am quick to criticise the lads if the performance deserves it but am also quick to praise them if the performance deserves it, difference is I’m not scared to say and criticise on here unlike some, during the games certain people you included are constantly criticising them but then on here praising! Come on That's what this sites for freedom of speech. |

I don't view myself as a "keyboard warrior", but others might. Like others on this forum, I'm just a long standing supporter and attend virtually all home games and as many away games as possible, when performances justify the expense. Where I differ from some, is that, when I feel justified, I will speak my mind without worrying about the consequences. The trouble with kissing ass all the time is that you run an increased risk of getting sh-t on. What I won't do is make favourable comments just to keep cosy with officialdom. I didn't get to the game on Saturday, hence no comment either way from me. When I do see something to praise, rest assured I will give it.

Half decent post Dave, but what a load of bollox comment about the keyboard warriors, people pay to come and watch a game of football and are entitled to there opinion, play well and lose to a better side and people might come back, play pi$$ poor against a poor side and lose or draw they won't, which has been exactly whats happened, the club are screaming for money, but for me it starts on the pitch. Good performances will bring in the crowds. I for one will still be at every home game, we need to keep the odd fans coming back.
