Gordon now suspended for 1 game and Regan Booty scores for Borehamwood
Don't let the old man in.

With this manager and his set ups, the National League welcome back banners are now being put in place.

Could see after the first three or four games that this was going to be a tough season, just going to have to hope we can do enough.

Stopped listening to Whings interviews now. It's the same waffle.
That performance tells me the players feel the same.
It was absolute garbage. Gone before Christmas.

Get beat against Newport and I think that'll be all she wrote for whing. 2 points from 12 and 3/4 have been home games. One we were 2-0 down early on and fortunate to recover and the other 2-1 down and fortunate to get a point with ten men. Today was bloody awful. If they sacked him tonight I would fully understand why

Soon as he goes we are in free fall
Nice guy but showing not upto the job on borrowed time.
Agreed, mistakes made and all that, but the choice between Wild And Wood has clearly proven to be the wrong chose.
We’ve gone from a qna with a 3 year plan for promotion, to nothing and hoping someone like Kelly lifts the team .

Good job the manager had us set off on front foot, after two fluffed first half chances we lost the second half. A new low I think

We missed two great chances before they had a sniff, MJ and Newbs. A very depressing situation indeed, the same poor tactics every home game I’ve never known HS be so quiet. We’ll just have to rely on luck to keep us up and our club mantra that we hope and trust there are two worse teams than us. Fingers crossed.

Dire. Can’t say much more than that whats already been said. That ranks as bad as Harrogate home last season under Clemence who lasted another match after that. I’d really be thinking about who can come in and do better with this group in time for January and the transfer window. Whings not the man I had doubts in September even august and perhaps it was the influence of Rob Kelly that slightly lifted things, but today we went ten steps back again. Not just the result but the manner of it.

Try fitting poor, [SwearFilter], useless, f@cking & shite into a sentence.

Andy Whing whilst you seem like a nice enough guy I think all them words above can fit into a sentence that includes your name!

Not sure what you bring to the table. It’s certainly not exciting, thrilling, jaw dropping football. Even a few oohs and aahs in the game would help.

The management haven't got a clue how to set up - its as simple as that.

First half Newby and Harper should have scored, I couldn't see us losing, but that second half, WHING put Harper forward leaving Mcann isolated, Gordon/ Hemmings movement was not existent there's nobody wanting the ball then we make substitutions and I honestly didn't know what our shape was so what chance have the player's, Whing should be sacked he's clueless and his interviews back this up ,it's obvious the player's have no faith in him and it's no coincidence that Rob Kelly has gone we're back to this clueless football, we'll get relegated playing like this !

No inspiration, no idea - clueless- time for Whing to go before it’s too late .
