Agreed, it has been frustrating to watch. Always one extra touch or hesitation, making it easy for them to defend. Plenty of effort but little quality.

We saw this last week to slow and don't attack the ball when it comes out.
Scott Smith should have scored .

Clear to see where we need to improve and that’ll hinder us until we do. Not enough movement or quality in the final third, too slow and wanting an extra touch against a well drilled Hornchurch team. Plenty of effort as said but I really don’t see where creativity or goals are coming from. Closest we came was probably a cross from MJ Williams which says it all.
Need Whitfield on to run at them I think before too long and cause a few more problems.

We keep going from side to side which is playing into their hands, we don't look dangerous to be fair to Cameron he's got no support!

Need to stop trying to walk the ball into the net or taking a stupid unnecessary touch, need to grab them by the scruff of the neck and not let this mentality sit in, need to get innes involved more.

It will be interesting to see what Murray can do at HT to improve things.

We have to get on the front foot.
I expect subs 65/70 mins and ( hopefully) have a go.
They're quite comfortable at the moment, we need to put them under pressure.

Hate to jump on individual players but Scott smith. Can tell he’s from Wigan. Sideways backwards only. Won’t run with the ball or pass forward. Can’t have him and Williams together

Cameron has been jostling well and winning a fair few flick ons, but there's no one anticipating them.
Popular side since '03.

Agreed. Why do we need two defensive midfielders ag home and against Hornchurch? Need someone better on the ball in there who can play and get forwards I’d even prefer Harper. Smith had couple of chances but he’s not an attacking midfielder.

Hornchurch giving us all the time in the world on the ball and we are over passing it sideways without getting anywhere. I hope they’ve had a rollicking and told to get it moving quicker
