Such a shame we have to rely solely on Radio Dave Chamberlain for both commentary and Twitter updates, and obviously he can't make every away game for various reasons.
Rather seems that if you can't get to away games then it's a 'you don't matter to us' attitude by the Club.

Surely there are others who go to away games who could provide some sort of coverage?

Until 2.30pm I was expecting to go but that is the nature of my job at times. More volunteers for Twitter and Radio would be very welcome.

Just got back in I’m tired and fed up so I’ll make this brief.
We were always in the game and matched them in every sense but alas goals win matches and we didn’t score least not in the opponents net.
Sadly their goal came of the shin of Lowe how unlucky can you get but the truth is for all our efforts we couldn’t put the ball away.
Leroy had one on ones has did Cuff but we couldn’t get it past their keeper.
Then to add insult to injury we appeared to have scored with the last kick of the match with the ball apparently crossing the line before it was cleared but the officials didn’t want to know.
Gutted for the players they gave it their all and deserved better however if we can carry this kind of form forward I’m sure it will come right for us and we will escape the drop.
Man of the match- there were many deserving but I give it to Ison for his wholehearted display
Entertainment value- not much happened first half defences on top but better second seven out ten
Officials- not impressed some odd decisions given five out of ten
Supporters - About twenty of us who tried to get behind the team seven
Management- possibly Nesbit could have come on earlier otherwise good support and encouragement from bench -
eight
Next match away at Hitchen I can see three points coming our way.
No highlights Dan unable to make it.

I agree with Jackie’s review and the only thing I would say about Nesbitt not coming on sooner is that we were playing well enough as it was at the time. Livingstone was much more of a threat than the disappointing Cuff last night and when Nesbitt was brought on for Portman and Livingstone was moved back to left back I actually felt we lost our best chance of scoring. We dominated the second half but we were guilty of overplaying and trying to walk the ball through them at times. We were solid at the back and reduced them to only a few chances, we definitely deserved at least a draw but things were going against us including that sickener at the end. I had already made my way towards the gates so I couldn’t see what had happened down the other end when our players were appealing for something but as you say Jackie the officials didn’t give anything.
Ison was also my man of the match too with an excellent display both defensively and in attack down the right hand side. Of course it is disappointing that we lost and are back at the bottom of the table but things are looking better than they were under KMR (I see his “promising” two game unbeaten run shuddered to a halt by a rampant Tividale last night ) and I am sure we will be climbing the table soon.
I have been to all seven away games this season but my run will also come to a shuddering halt as I will be at Alton Towers on Saturday and not Hitchin, although with Alton Towers having extended opening times due to Scarefest (10am-9pm) I am considering slipping out for a couple of hours for a 3pm kick off with Leek v Hanley (22 minutes away) being my likely destination.

One thing I can’t fathom is why we started with two up front against Rushden and won 5-0 yet we’ve gone back to playing one up front again since. Even on Saturday things only changed when we went two up front. Just start the games with Nesbitt and Lita.

Playing well and losing doesn't cut it with me especially with position we are in

When did you go to a game last mate?

One game last year against Redditch
League position speaks volumes

It speaks volumes of the previous managerial incumbents, this won't be turned round in a couple of games so don't expect it to be. You are not going to find two more experienced managers than Yogi and Toothy at this level and above and I fully expect them to take us to a safe place this season, then they can kick on next season with their own set of players.
