We could have done with the money but if this means we can concentrate on getting out of the Rymans this might be a blessing in disguise......it just don't feel like it at the moment

Collective disaster. No fight, urgency and very flat. A couple of the squad players look a little short physically and desire wise. Lightweight in midfield today.
Not good enough. If we think our league form excuses that then think again. I'd also say that the fact we were that bad after a couple of injuries does not bode well for the league, which is a long haul.

Bradley is the only one excused today, our one spark. And he looks to have picked up a thigh strain now

Any chance of getting Pouton or Quarm back ? Plenty of chances went begging.Good luck to them they scored a couple of good goals.

Jolly had a bad day at the office. Missed 2 sitters and the one he did connect with the keeper made a good save. I won't be too critical though as goal scorers get days like that. He'll come good for us again!

This team has received much deserved praise so far this season.
Today was a horror show which has cost us a lot of money.
Credit to Alton for taking advantage - they must think the whole month consists of Sundays

My first game of the season and i'm very disappointed. Jolly was awful, miskicking on the 6 yard line with the goal at his mercy and then hitting the bar from even closer. Should have had a pen though when blatantly shoved in the back. Watkins is too slow and got roasted by their no 7 who caused us problems all game. Remember this team we played are from a league well below ours and having been leaking goals so to play like that is extremely worrying. The defending for the first goad was absolutely woeful with I think JG miskicking in the box. Alton weren't great at all and we got behind them countless times in the first half, especially Costa, but the final ball was generally poor (apart from Costa who decided he wanted to shoot all the time instead of looking to pass).
I was really looking forward to see the new look U's but on this performance if we think we're going to win the league or get promoted we really are in dreamland.
Shocking and quite frankly not good enough.
I supoose though Dartford did (i think) go out of the cup early last season!

I can only echo the words above a total unmitigated disaster, a complete humiliation we have been giant killed by a side a couple of places off the bottom of the Wessex County league on our own sodding turf! We chucked away £3000 in prize money, with the exception of Bradley never looked up for the game, did not compete for every ball, did not possess the hunger or desire to get the result and ultimately paid the price. We maybe top of the league but we won't be for long with that attitude on the pitch, I cannot remember being so angry about a match for a long while !!! We are so much better than that today and I never thought I would see this team not have the desire to win

Our attitude & application today was frankly a Flipping disgrace.
Spoke to Alan Payne before the game in the bar and the pre-match talk sounded like it was pretty well thought out and designed to get us out there to do the job.
Sadly, it seems pretty much everyone bar Bradley wasn't listening to a single frigging word he said. We've clearly taken one look at their league form and just flat out sacked it off.
Standing around watching is our job lads, not yours.
Fair play to Alton. Came & showed 10 times more adventure than most Ryman sides in the last couple of seasons have dared to. If they get an easier 90 minutes this season I'll be surprised.
Right, I'm off to get pissed. With any luck I'll kill the bit of my brain that contains the memory of that utter cack I just watched......

If there was lack of application, it was with the two wide players. BWH and Andre played as out and out wingers which meant we only had two in the middle of the park. Once Alton realised they could outnumber us in the middle, we always looked second best. Nowadays you can't play 4-2-4 even against a team as average as Alton.

Tonyd, do you really think bwg had a bad game??
We were poor today and not finishing our chances in the first half allowed Alton back into the game and proved our downfall.
