Green has had a good season had too feel for him after being dropped tonight!! We could of easily won this with stearn chance towards the end and Wilsons it could if been a different story!
REALLY GOT TO WIN SATURDAY!! Still bemused why we agreed to change new years day fixture to new yrs eve just for the sake of boreham wood players wanting to go on the lash.

Greener must be right pissed off . Been our most consistent player this season . Dropped for a loanee who did nothing more than Greener would have done .

Didn't play well. Didn't deserve to win.
Forget how late the equaliser was.
Having said that great chance missed by stearn to make it 3-1.
We look at mess at the moment :-(
Thought beano played well tonight

Green was not dropped, he has been ill and barely trained this past few days. Nothing like a messageboard for trapping off about stuff you have no prior knowledge about.

I'll say it quietly but the decisions by the clubs hierarchy have not been good, this current side are a long, long way from promotion now. Credit to Boreham wood I thought they were decent and had pace. The FA cup is really all that is left to look forward to this season.

Went home at half time (frozen grandkids). Watched 2nd half in the Anglers. Was pretty poor another 2 points dropped. That's 14 points given up this season already. Bog job on your hands MA Onwards and upwards please.

I heard on the TV commentary, so far this season we have had 3 managers, & 5 goalkeepers & among the 49 different players we've fielded. That maybe a clue as to why were are lacking cohesion. Lets just write off this season and spend from now until May to get some consistency & build a team to mount a challenge next season.

I thought we were the better of the two teams, and with the chances we created, we should have won the game. It was never a penalty in a million years. Criminal defending at the end. Whoever let them have a 12 yard run at them down our right hand side should not be in the team for the next game

Our defence let us down far too much, with the level of experience in the back four we shouldn't be making the mistakes we are. Without Childs bravery at times we could have been down by more. We also failed to finish chances to put the game to bed at 3-1. Stearn, Wilson and Mandron all had chances that should have been easily converted in the last ten minutes.

Was definitely not a boring evening.
Is Mandron working as the Watford mascot on his days off? I've only seen it live but looked a terrible dive cannot believe the ref gave it.
If we could finish better we could have had 5 the Stearn shot summed up our season!
We really are the calamity club at the moment (on the pitch) seems each new keeper gets man of the match so I'm putting the mortgage on a Graham Stack blinder at Brentford....
No win at home since 25th October, not fancying our chances against Forest at the moment so could be over 3 months between home wins that's depressing.

Come on then broomer as you clearly do get the inside track use the messageboard to keep us informed. I thought Garrett looked ok tonight but was also surprised to see Greener dropped and when he is on the bench you do assume it is dropped. Fingers crossed he is fit for Saturday.

Not much to add to the above - a more entertaining evening football-wise than I had feared, but a frustrating, but deserved, late equaliser conceded. Boreham Wood are such an improved team this season, so the result wasn't that surprising.
Can't see the Brentford scout in the main stand would have gone away too worried.
Considering the defence had two (then three) new members, plus a new keeper (who did well) then I'm not surprised they acted like the didn't know each other at times. A few games ago the defence was one of our strong points.
Beano seems to have regained a bit of confidence, it wasn't one of Mandron's better games (it was a spectacular dive for the penalty, but the defender did lunge at the ball, so he gave the ref the option), and Wilson disappointed this time when he game on. Garrett did pretty well as stand-in for Greener, I thought. I presume we're looking to sign him permanently, otherwise there would be no point in bringing him in for a month.
MA was shouting at Strevs a lot during the game, I noticed. He needs time to get his team right - he hasn't got any. Unless we can find 6-8 wins in a row soon, then it looks like mid-table mediocrity this season, which will be hugely disappointing for everyone at the club, and we need to look at why it happened.

Poor performance. Defensively we were horrible and yet again, slow. The penalty was never a penalty, and IMO we were fortunate to get a point. We played like what we are; a mid table side. As for preparing for next season - NO! Lets prepare for Saturday and win the bloody game.

Seeing the line-up before the game I would have taken a point, although when you get to 2-1 up with 10mins to go, (very dubious pen for me as well, but the BW players didn't complain overly to the ref) it was a great disappointment to only draw. As others have said we had gilt edged chances near the end to put the game out of their reach. Thought Mark Childs had a good game, but I think that with an experienced keeper behind them we may have found the defence would have played better. Losing Reda was a big blow & looks like he could be out for a while. Hamstring?
I know others will say "it's the same for both teams", & this is in no way criticism of the groundsman & those who work on the pitch, (you can't polish a turd), it is the worst pitch I've seen us play on this season, apart from Woking's. Alresford's was better. And we've had no rain to speak of yet this winter. It cuts up far too easily & gives the players no confidence when running with the ball, or with the ball running towards them. Is SD waiting for the EFL to sanction "plastic pitches" in Leagues 1& 2 before we install one? There is little that can be done to the pitch as it is at the moment, but if we're not going to have a "plastic pitch" next season, this one has to be dug up, new drainage installed and the top layers re-laid.
