Dagenham & Redbridge v Aldershot Town - Tuesday 26th November 2024 (Match Day Thread)

[Graham Stovold]

A poor start to the second half has cost us 3 points tonight, they got in our faces & pressed us high & then came along some diabolical defending. First giving away a stupid penalty, poor defending for the second & then that moment of stupidity by Theo.

I doubt very much that the manager will defend that judging from his reaction, after all that though, we could’ve, should’ve got a draw from the game.

[Turnkey]

Wasn’t there tonight, but sad to see, but not surprised the usual depressive gloom that vanished on Sat is back.

Should we all be jumping for joy that Tommys crap decisions and juniors boneheadedness see us get stuffed by an awful Daggers then?

[Reg's corner]

Buffoons on the TV commentary to be fair. Theo needs to go out on loan. The situation is causing to much unrest. Tetek is a better player. That's obvious now. Chairmen you have a decision to make. We should be dispatching teams like dagenham. Especially a poor one like that

[Peter macdonald]

GOODNIGHT AND GOODBYE UNTIL WIDDS JUNIOR IS GONE.

I hope you sleep well tonight Stephen

[supershots]

The standard of ref's falls to new low, did you see the venom in the headbutt on Theo's fist, how could he make such a big mistake?

[Sean Chambers]

IF HE PLAYS AGAIN I AM GOING TO SUPPORT FARNBOROUGH.

Wow, off you go then, I thought you supported Aldershot Town.

[Shots2000]

AGAIN, keep Maghoma and Theo AWAY from the squad!!!



Tommy should concentrate on picking his best team and stop trying to prove people wrong

This is the issue, he spends a lot of his interviews talking about trusting him, I know what I’m doing etc…

[Steve Melledew]

Well you don’t do yourself any favours do you Theo expect a bad reaction I’m afraid from the fans next time you play at home, it was bad enough Saturday with a few in the North stand shouting abuse until he went to play at the back and done ok.

I can see quite a few more joining in the abuse next home game and him and his Dad have brought it on themselves, we are not stupid we can all see that Tetek or Frost are far superior to Theo in midfield but your stubbornness is really going to cause a reaction from the crowd unless we can start winning, things are going to get nasty I feel. Shot ourselves in the foot yet again.

lets hope the discipline board a couple of games on for violent conduct ,that was the actions of a spoilt child

[WTF]

Perhaps they may look at disciplining the club

[chimpster99]

I'm tempted to sit right by the dugout for the next game when Theo plays. This has gone on too long. The nepotism is absolutely toxic and I'd bet that's a very divided dressing room.

The Chairman should grow a pair and mete out some internal discipline for that one tonight, show both Widds who's in charge.

[militaryshot]

Has the club ever given an update on Jenkins? Don't remember ever seeing any information about his injury. He just disappeared. Maghoma starts and our main goal threat suspended. I've got a bad feeling about tonight. Hope I'm wrong

Same with Bray, he seems to have disappeared as well.

[Northcampshot]

Theo's behaviour has been shocking since he got here but what he did today was shameful and just plain nasty. I'm sure his Dad will give us all a different slant on things and tell us all that his little boy is doing a great job for us. As somebody else said he can be a very proud dad.

Not sure what Byrd has done wrong either, how Maghoma is front of Byrd for a place in this team is beyond me.

No Turnkey, we shouldn’t and I am not sure how a 3-2 is regarded as a “stuffing”, but it is a defeat however it may be portrayed.

However, it is always noticeable how negativity vanishes and even this forum takes on a bit of positivity after a win, but it doesn’t take long for that feeling to turn round to a terminal misery, I am not sure what word describes it, and I share the absolute frustration, but it is like this season in, season out year after year whether there is justification or not. The mood swings between euphoria and a quick spiral into abject misery is just not balanced and seems extreme.

Theo Widdrington is an enigma (Jeez, we have had so many of those in my 46 x years of watching the Shots) on here and illustrates this perfectly. Some games he is treated positively as a game changer for the right reasons, and other times, like tonight, for the wrong reasons.

A bit of perspective tonight is that, yes Maidenhead won, but Braintree lost (against them), Fylde, Boston also lost. We are far from being out the woods, but we are not the only ones.

[Weybourne Shot]

High time our Chairman started to show some real leadership of our Club and get this indiscipline under control it's dragging the Club downwards and has been going on for far too long. You could argue that it cost us a play off place last season and who knows where it could take us this season if it continues.
