I heard somebody say Balham Green lives in a hippy crypt. Or at least I think that’s what they said.

Well we know you werent there but at least look at the highlights. Bakinsaw doesnt track back and pick up the midfielder for the first goal, Grant has a terrible position for the 2nd. Sorry to be dealing in facts. That may be difficult for you. If you dont recognize the difficulties in playing with such young players you understand less than I thought.

How about talking about the post rather than having a go at the poster?
He has a point on the age thing. If there are youngsters playing we will be inconsistent and the odd really bad result will happen. The good news is that they have been winning a lot too.
In answer to BGs point, I think we will see a more experienced line up tomorrow night. Perhaps Byron and Mcfadzean as wing backs, Edwards in the middle.
I didn't realise 24 is now considered a 'kid'!
When the phrase was coined it referred to Scholes, Beckham, Butt, the Nevilles etc. who were under 21.
Even if you really regard our squad as kids, it hasn't stopped them winning regularly all season. I mean it has only suddenly become an issue in February after one defeat!

Totally right and most of the errors leading to goals this season have been from experienced defenders like Wootton and Canavan. The young lads have generally done well. jephcott, Hardie, Grant have been great. We didn’t have strikers scoring until the two young boys came in. Bakinson has also won a man of the match award at least once in his short time, it I accept that it sounds like he didn’t play well on Saturday. I must admit, if this is how bad the moaning gets when we are going well, I’m glad I wasn’t on here last season!

Nope. Keep forgetting the spelling. That alright with you? Am sure Bakinson is not mortally offended.
It’s total boll**ks isn’t it? I mean, the most ineffective part of the side all season has been central defence. Average age 30!! Up front, our strikers just weren’t scoring until Jephcott and Hardie came into the side and there’s already people criticising them. You just couldn’t make it up. I suppose it goes on on most club's forums, but then most of them aren’t sitting well placed for potential automatic promotion.
