But from our perspective we have got to keep possession better as again we gave away too many loose passes and at times did not protect the ball well enough and were easily dispossessed/out muscled.
Strange then that we subbed Samir as imo he wasn't effected by the conditions, looked comfortable in possession and was our most likely player to create something from midfield.
Again a few players missing and with two forwards out we didn't have any real attacking options to come on from the bench and make an impact.
Felt at the start of the season we lacked a genuine winger/wide attacking player and not just play people there to fill in, this was another game where i felt this could have made a real difference
Bloody frustrating to concede such a late goal, especially as we completely ballsed up our corner which put us on the back foot and eventually led to their winner.
If we had come away with a point some would say that in the circumstances and conditions a decent enough result, but we didn't......

Not sure if Ady did tell the players to go straight back into the dressing room or not at the end, i guess he was pretty frustrated like the rest of us so maybe?? But it wasn't a good look when the vast majority just walked straight off and as far as i could tell only Samir, Joe, Jonny, Jez and Olly came over.

MOTM - a few had OK games (Joe, Jonny, Luther, Denzelle) but i'm struggling to think of one that stood out so really not sure who to vote for??

Still we're still in the play off positions and apparently our main aim of "survive in the league" looks pretty much secured

Pennock stopping the players coming over at the end too is disgraceful. Fair play to Olly, tennnat and henly who ignored him and did it anyway.
Half the lineup out of position, subs coming on and making it worse.
Can’t remember a game where we’ve offered so little.
Jones with another stinking performance.
If Olly goes in Jan our season is done.

Have to disagree. Think Lewes had the better clear cut chances, had a one on one with Henly which was saved well and also had a 3 on 1 at the end before they scored. It was a naff game, we had no outlet thanks to having an invisible striker and a holding midfielder playing out wide. We took our only creative outlet off for another holding midfielder who was also shipped out wide. We was needing a goal and we subbed off our #10 for a left back. The management got it wrong, to have Jones as our only available striker and 1 winger available playing a system with 2 wingers is criminal. No excuse to not get in a forward or 2 before Folkestone.
