It's a true measure of the Dundo Legend (I think he should be known as "DL" henceforth) in that having scored a hat-trick he is then required to go back into midfield to strengthen us!
On the hat-trick question, I'm hoping that Tony Dolbear and or Mark Frake have time to compile a recent list, we have had some submissions on Twitter (list below) and some info via DJF and Tony so far:
"Dave’s right – Joyce v Kingstonian and Hitchin, JR v Windsor and Carshalton, between 24 Feb and 5 March 1983.
Andy Forbes the last FA Trophy hattrick v Billericay (when BWG happened to be our other scorer)"
TBC: Tony Quinton vs. Basingstoke Luke Cornwall vs. Maidenhead Craig Watkins vs. Maidenhead Leroy Griffiths - 4 vs. Dulwich Stefan Payne vs. Margate Kyle Vassell – 4 vs. Godalming Town Billy Medlock vs. South Park Craig Dundas vs. Lowestoft Town
Edit - Sam Gargan vs. Wealdstone

Admin - sorry, put hat-trick bits on a new thread if appropriate as opposed to hijacking this match thread, apologies!

Dundo was excellent last night and i wish a certain other player would show that kind of commitment ! Do you actually mean commitment? Or is this just a player you don't like? I think it's quite an injustice to the team and that player especially to say they lack commitment. Personally I thought Eastmond had a really poor game last night, but that wasn't a reflection on his commitment. Tom B was poor on his crosses last night, but that isn't commitment. Fleetwood's finishing was way off target last night, but that isn't his commitment. Dundo, even being a legend, has also had his fair share of "off-colour" games but of course that commitment is never questioned. My opinion is that those sorts of comments are not helpful or useful to anyone. Either say what you mean or just say it to your friends off here. This "certain other player" business I reckon isn't valued by most of the people that read this forum.

To question a player's commitment this season is disgraceful in my opinion. I think I can guess who that certain player is however I think he's quality and offers a huge amount to the team. Please keep your moans offline. It's not needed on this forum.

I feel for Fleets. He gets his man 1v1 and shuffles the ball towards them. He looks to shift and go or shift and shoot but he just doesn't seem to have that burst to beat the defender.
It may be due to injury or lack of confidence. I find myself willing him on to score more then any other player. You can see has the ability.
All of the lads make mistakes from time to time but they all give a 100% imo and i'm proud to be supporting a team doing well but playing some lovely stuff.
Worner is such a good keeper especially for our style of play.
The pass last night out to Stearn from the goalkick was sheer class.

Personally i don't dislike any player. This forum is for discussion.Whether you agree with what i say is up to you.If I think a player is being lazy on the pitch i will say so.I get the impression he's lost interest.
If everyone just agreed with with each other it wouldn't be much of a forum.

True to a point, but how is alluding to "a certain other player" conducive to any sort of discussion? We don't even know who you're talking about. Yes, this forum is for discussing differing opinions but I agree with Andy. Some opinions are best kept to yourself. Just because you can share your opinions here doesn't mean you have to share ALL of them!

If everyone just agreed with with each other it wouldn't be much of a forum. So say it then. That's my point. If you are going to state an opinion on the forum at least have the conviction to back it up. The point isn't whether I agree or not or anyone else for that matter. But how can you say the forum is for discussion and then not have the balls to say who you mean thus denying any right for that discussion to take place? If you don't think it's appropriate to say the name of the player then it's not appropriate to allude to the issue in the first place. As I've said many a time posting comments in a public area requires a level of responsibility for ones owns actions. Some posters learnt that last season. Maybe if you were more transparent then dos may answer that directly and just maybe he will agree with you. I return to my point that saying a certain player serves no purpose to anyone aside from making you look more like a trouble maker which I'm sure you don't intend to be.

I said this before, I think Fleet's offers us more than just being a goal scorer. I accept he may have been bought in to score goals, but I think his delivery is the best at the club, and he is well worth a place in the side. I would interested to know how many assists he has to his name since joining the club?

You have made far too many derogatory comments about individuals over the years on this forum to be looking for a bite. Standing with the cut outs on the far side has rubbed off on you badly.

Terrible game , good result. I left when Sutton nearly bagged a fourth.When a goal kick is being taken, why do all 20 outfield players not only stand on the halfway line but stand all grouped up on one side of the pitch ? It's basically to win the second ball. Get the team up the field and hit the front and when it drops down have as many numbers as you can around the ball to then secure it and attack from there. I do like the fact Worner looks to play to feet early. We have the target men but we mix our game really well. The goalkick i mentioned funnily enough Stearn stayed wide on the other side and Ross switched it straight out to him. Did anyone see Lowestoft's teenage keeper at halftime?. I thought it was one of the kids jumping over for a kick about till i saw him with shinpads going back to the dugout!.

Interesting observation made from the "neutral" report about Dundo. I'd love to know how often he has seen Dundo play to make such a comment? Making a player out to be a "diver" based on a handful of viewings is a total disgrace as all U's fans would I am sure agree. Makes me laugh these guys who turn up when there is no other match around and then feel the need to write a match report. Even worse, taint a player's character with an ignorant and ill-informed observation.
To the match. As has been said, we were a bit off our game last night, with a good few of the team well below their best. Still, it was enough to defeat a Lowestoft side full of spirit but lacking in quality. Apparently they were missing a couple of players who couldn't get off work 'cos the match was on a Monday night (you appear to have some allies in Suffolk, delboy) and of course Micky Spillane.
In the end though Dundo's hat trick, his first a some what scuffed off the post effort which he looked a bit embarrassed about (no trade mark celebration) after Stearny's wickedly swerving effort had only been parried.
The second, was the result of a fine move and a lovely finish in the corner. Can't see how anyone could describe either of them as being bundled in as was suggested in another earlier post?
The third came from a great Dan Wishart ball that Tom B chested down and Dundo fired under the 'keeper.
As for the Dundo dive, I was very close to that and was flabbergasted when the ref booked him. Would love to see that on the highlights but Dundo never looked for a penalty and it was just one of a number of poor decisions made by last night's ref including three corners being given as goal kicks. I am not even sure that the lively Reid's booking was justified either. Obviously I was up the other end but if a penalty had been given I am not sure I would have complained too much.
Probably our worst performance on the 3G this season but in a cup tie it is the result that matters and we move onto the next round and the unknown quantity that is Curzon Ashton. I suspect they will be a tougher prospect than Lowestoft were in more ways than one.
Remiss of me not to praise Beckwith and Collins for another fine centre-back pairing performance last night.
