Horrorshow performance on Halloween weekend from Forest

Shambles. I thought last week was bad. This week was woeful. I quite literally lost interest when they scored goal number 5.
- Josh Fuller, Manager

The highly anticipated Locks Ride Derby finished with Winkfield taking the points & bragging rights after a comfortable 6-3 win.

Manager Josh Fuller was not pleased with his sides performance.

"Shambles. I thought last week was bad. This week was woeful. I quite literally lost literally lost interest when they scored goal number 5.

Was my behaviour acceptable? No, probably not - but we are now 2 months into the season, 2nd from bottom, 1 point in 4 games - in my opinion that's not acceptable.

Every week the words from my lads are "They were sh*t lads - lucky to beat us" - they just beat us 6-3 - ridiculous attitude to have.

One thing I stressed before the game was not to give away silly fouls. 20 minutes in they've had 2 penalties & Brady saved the first, which was a great stop. We also gave away a free kick deep in our half which led to the goal. All 3 of these fouls from the same player. I bring him off because I don't think his head is in the right place, he's all over the place, positioning is off, clearances are dreadful, slow to react to anything. His replacement comes on & then just before half time he gets sent off.

The only player that I felt impressed me was Blackmore - the rest were poor.

It's come to the point now where I am questioning whether I am the right person to lead the team. I don't think the team believes in me & what I say - they don't listen half the time. When they do listen there are certain players who are more concerned about arguing about what I have said rather than rectify where they've gone wrong.

Then there is the question of do I believe in the team? Right now, no.

I can't manage a team where people don't listen because they know best. The only 45 minutes in the league they listened we tore apart the league leaders & if it wasn't for a fantastic volley we'd have beaten them.

So I am looking for a replacement manager because I do not want to do it anymore.

We got AFC Crowthorne in the cup next & I do hope we win & get a good run going because right now I fear for our division 1 status because we don't look or play like a Division 1 team should

My congratulations go to Winkfield - they played well & deserved everything that they got in that game. Excellent team with some good players with the right attitude"
