Anyone know if Ade and Sam are fit for tonight ?

  Now two down

3-1,sounds like King is having a nightmare!

What a ****ing embarrassment

I make that 13 defeats in 27 games since TW took over and 7 defeats in last 11 league games. Burgess Hill now the biggest game of his managerial career.

Have to say I couldn't see this disastrous start coming. I guess I was taken in by the hype like quite a few others. I assumed maybe we had a weakened team but it looks like most were available. 

So....every result has been worse than the one before and we have only beaten the team who are rock bottom.  Hmmmm.

Can anyone provide any good news ?

after sat was not going tonight but thought id see good play from hastings after 2 bad games. how wrong. Mick no good news not even a wet pitch made a different. our players still not good enough, still moved ball slowly, still cant pass a ball and the hype of before the season was just hype. do not like ever to pick out playes but has Rose really played football league? he was awful. King, he was worse than Rose. Thank god for Razor. Masters little boy lost. Tim did ok, so did Dolan, Cook not up to it. Johnson never a sening off not even a booking but there players cry like babies and ref reacts to it. Adams worked hard but did not look fit, Sawyer up front on his own playing against a defender that was 6ft 6 maybe so what chance did he have.
Tactics all wrong new formation, it not friendly now and still experiments, no Terry White again and if Ben White is doing team selection, tactics and subs then hes out of his depth and very incompetant
The statistics on Terry White are worry especially when he not even at games what is going on.
good news Mick, Redhill do tea in china mugs that was very nice

Like Mick said i think most of us had not see this coming.
Terry was not there i read.
Before any speculations made maybe can please someone ask why he wasn't there.
2 defeats against teams we normally have to win. Some shocking performances from players who
normally perform well or did so in the past.
The main thing is that we - despite the chances we create in the first 2 games - don't create them anymore.
Are the midfielders lacking in providing the attackers; do we have not pace and depth on the flanks ? Frankie on his own ?
It is a disappointing start of the season. Not only we lost 8 points in 4 games but losing confidence will cost more.
So hopefully things will be sorted out in all aspects and we can start again with winning some games.

I was told on Saturday that Terry has a family issue and that is why he is not available. I think that is a valid reason. Let's hope he gets back very soon.

Think Taser has to start if only so Sam can be played up front to give Frankie some support if Ade isn't playing. he's strong enough and works hard enough to give even bigger defenders problems and to give Frankie some more much needed space. One of Dolan or Cook would have to drop to fit him in though.

Didn't go so no footage obviously but that might be a good thing!

Early Last Season we beat Chipstead 1-0 away and beat Redhill 2-1 at home and got a creditable 1-1 draw away at Burgess Hill, in fact we did the double over Redhill beating them 4-0 away.
Also last season we were hardly ever out of the top 5, but this season already we are 17th.
I am begining to wonder if this squad is as good as last years?

   I think we have a good squad; even better as last year. But there are some '' gaps '' in the squad. Left back is for young Cruttwell according real defending maybe too much to ask. Absence of Vickers, Frankie a lone striker. Fitness's of some players. You can also argue about tactics, wrong substitutions etc. But please; we have only 4 games played. Yes, decisions will have to be make but stand behind the team. Being negative only will help nobody; positive criticism hopefully does. 

Think everyone forgets that young Cruttwell was only ever meant to stand in as LB as his normal position would be CM, hes never been coached as a LB so think all the negativity towards him from both fans and players does not encourage his confidence!!!!!!
