The old jokes still work.

Decided on train so factor in waiting, travelling, walking from the station and train times. Actual train travel is 5 hours. Game 90 minutes. Walking to and from station 40 minutes. 9 hours for a friendly and can’t wait.

If I went on holiday for a week, it wouldn't be a week round trip, would it?

We need a separate thread to log all these dohisms.

No we doh’nt

Better add on 2 hours for that twenty minute stop.

Massive miscalculation on my journey time. Based on advertised train times the round trip door to door is actually 9 hours and 45 minutes. A tad longer than my usual trip to Brisbane Road, longer walk to the ground from the station. My maths is indeed poo poo.

So who's up for this game ? me and big Kev are .

You must live well out into the wop wops Dohey. Fair dues for that, just for a friendly.

I live 11 mins drive and I’ve decided against it #notarealfan

Enjoying a Northern Whisper Stout in the Dartford Jug. Bloody nice. Good call.

Always get an away friendly in. This is the only one I can do. and not much different to home games. Makes mrs doh happy too.

Pub bloody difficult to find

Still no Brill;

Team; Sargeant, Ling, Ekpiteta, Coulson, Happe, Widdowson, Wright, Shabani, Brophy, Sotiriou, Harrold.

Subs: Janata, Judd, Sweeney, Ogie, Maguire-Drew, Alabi, Angol

Pleasant ground. Pitch looks in good nick. Looking forward to seeing the Sotirou / Harrold combination at work.

Nice ground. Great bar. I’m interested to in seeing Sotiriu start. Jobi has his kit on. Wonder if he will put in some pitch time. Guinness is good

Don’t know what the defence was doing for Marvs goal. 1-0. Up 4 minutes

Not a lot of creativity out there. Solid at the back is the best I can say

Absolutely zilch going forward

We could do with another wide player, JMD will be our most creative midfielder.

We need lots more reinforcements - our recruitment has been seriously inadequate so far.

If the long ball to Matt Harrold is our plan B, it ain't working.

Exactly . Two or three more are needed.

Lots more, really? Maybe a wide player who can play Central if need be and a midfielder. We don't need lots of players

2-3 players... CM, winger, striker. Might be able to combine the latter two if the right player comes along.

Harold up front ain’t working full stop. Constantly Miami game about being fouled

Not in the game yet. Maybe he will now score

If we could get Louis Dennis from Portsmouth he would be ideal looking more unlikely than it did a couple of weeks ago but still a chance. Also Grant from Shrewsbury who is completely out of favour. They would finish the squad off nicely if we could get them. Quality not quantity.

An hour gone and we’ve created zero. Against a level 6 team. Ok only a nothing game but feck me it’s mediocre and that being polite

Bugger al service.

Ok a friendly with some key players missing so this far

Keeping adequate
Defence solid including Widdowson
Midfield do we have one
Forwards. Poor

That folks was a lacklustre performance. Time to be concerned

But at last our deep corners pay off at last
