CAN WE GET OUR FIRST WIN? - Canvey Island vs Hashtag United - 24/25 EP2

[@xoeidi]

I love that Spencer explained the algorithm thing! Very transparent, if only everybody would act in such a manner... Keep up the good work and up the tags

[@patricko.harrison255]

Respectfully, sod the algorithm. The style of your videos and the front row seat you provide to what goes on in the back end is one of the main reasons I continue to support Hashtag. It’s how a lot of your fans connect with the club and the players. If I wanted to watch a 15 min clip of non-league football, there’s plenty of channels out there that provide that. Don’t take away what’s made you such a unique and special club to support.

[@VictorMurp]

Theres still the post match videos on the extra channel and the members only content like full games. If they want to continue getting new fans (which they obviously do) then they'll need to please the algorithm

[@aryanjolly1990]

This. What they posted for the first league game is essentially just an extended highlights package which multiple other non-league teams do.

[@pauldietz6174]

Absolutly right!!

[@TheLegoboy20000]

yes that's exactly what i was thinking after i finished watching :(

[@EBBluey]

Club makes more ad revenue from following the algorithm though

[@Joman77]

Love the new format of snappy edits but also LOVE addition of them walking into the locker room and hearing what they have to say

[@yann1124]

Foxley is a proper player, those inswinging corners are so so good

[@johanpi4277]

Much better than last time, he was invisible in the last game

[@EA-hz9mg]

Looks like he can cross and that’s about it

[@yann1124]

I think it'll be a big season for him

[@patrickhazard6025]

Absolutely love the team talk before the team talk, please let it stay!

[@arlasoft]

I know funds are tight at this level but Canvey must have spent all of £47 on their pitch over the summer. Also not often you see a winger crossing a ball from below the horizon.

[@alfie7223]

Costs a lot more to up keep a grass pitch then lay an artificial.

[@kylegallagher5629]

I don't know if I'm missing something but I thought Ayo was the best player on the pitch for most of the game! Great signing!

[@JulianJamesProd.]

100% best player, Cornhill close though

[@CubizFIFAOFF]

each game camilo restrepo proves how important he is in this squad

[@Bertolucci_]

The strong goalkeeping from Giddens is what kept the tags in this one late. Love to see the confidence he has catching/punching crosses.

[@RyanMay94]

It’s mad to see how much Ellis has grown up since Devs first became manager

[@ItsEmer]

Bettter performance then Saturday. Adding the extra half time dressing room clip is good to hear the players take on the half before Devs starts

[@rorymurphy9625]

Ayo is a class edition. His first thought is to always progress the ball forward and he does it with such quality.

[@PavlisBeats]

Foxley, Ayo and Gordon are some proper new signings!

[@sydue-]

Always look forward to hashtag vids have done since the very first game on Spencer FC, the longer the better in my opinion !

[@dylan-kc5]

Massively impressed with Foxley so far this season, Looks class

[@zinedineescandon9468]

I’ve been saying it, you just gotta watch every goal we concede now it’s almost like Harry Haysom has forgot how to defend, he goes on to crash with Matty to leave his player wide open for the header

[@pedrofmbs]

Love the intros, and don't mind how the outro was done on this video. A quick "see you on the next one" works fine imho! Thanks Spencer and team.

[@aaronhuby5923]

For everyone’s sake, I say keep videos how they are and post an alternate extended scenes for the fans that want to see it. Keeps everyone happy and keeps the main action within the algorithm

[@sydue-]

Foxley looks good, he plays direct

[@pistachio5186]

Three things - 1) Better energy today, but iI think Toby is the difference up front in these games - alongside Nathan he makes so so so many unselfish runs. No coincidence our midfielders get the goals when Toby opens up the defenders for central runners to have space and time to shoot 2) Camillo looking like a 11 a side baller, awesome decision making he looks quality. 3) Dev's JR is a class commentator! Up the tags!

[@Elvendertig1130]

It's been a hot minute since we had a match this exciting. Absolutely brilliant! I'm loving everything about this team right now, such amazing complementary signings as well! The way they link up on front is amazing and we finally have an amazing rock in the goal as well! On another note, loved having Ellis on the comms, sounds like he's done this for years on end. Also like the transparency by Spen but more content = better for me personally. If you put something out, I will watch it. Even if it's just some extra videos on the extra channel. #

[@srm0]

Camilo and Foxy🔥🔥

[@timilehinfalusi4234]

When PK is back this team is going to go to another level

[@01FozzyS]

Well done squeaking out that win,boys! Good job,Ellis! Nice to see Richo in the stands!

[@SpennysGamingChannelPS3PS4]

Don’t like the new videos, nowhere near enough especially at the end, cutting it off makes it look like bad editing and like amateur vids. Miss the pre match on the pitch with the players and miss the post match being in the main video. I’d even like to see some post match analysis

[@sydue-]

Agree!!

[@santorfo]

It's all about the algo

[@lukethomas7880]

Should make it a separate video if their worried about the algorithm do a pre match vid then match the post match on the extra like they normally do

[@davidfuentes7590]

Cry

[@danjackson1016]

​@lukethomas7880 that wouldn't work either. Posting loads of videos no one watches harms the ones people do watch in the algorithm

[@abdulrahmanalbakri9562]

i find this more entertaining than professional first division football

[@stivoschannel34]

Foxley could go down as one of the best passers and maybe players to ever play for hashtag and Ellis has a future on commentary after his playing days.

[@rickywod9967]

Camilo looking like a proper baller, always turning and running at the defense, being aggressive and skillful, but his decision making seems to be improving too. Up the TAGS!!!

[@hydem04]

Love that we need tweaks to benefit the club, thanks for the transparency Spen. Could we perhaps get a vlog series of the month perhaps instead, which still shows the behind the scenes antics that we all love about the tags #️⃣

[@danielshanks3327]

Can’t wait until Higgo starts, we need the pressure above asap

[@rehtafrey]

the higher Camilo hikes his shorts up, the better he drives the ball from midfield.

[@LeunamnRacing]

Love Cuba's leadership already. Signing of the season so far!

[@landonhiggins3492]

Looked dangerous on the counter in this one! Loved seeing the midfielders driving forward

[@goncalocosta5814]

We want as much video as we can have. Please show us stuff after and before the game

[@Andi-lk5ff]

There you go dev! I fking bet dev is reading my comment from last game about starting Matty and max and Camilo’s dm position. They changed all that and won… soo I should be the manager

[@Abdul2604_]

Big performance and a big win. Nothing more you can ask for to respond back to Saturday. Dk how people are complaining about the snappier edits anyway. Aren't you here to watch the highlights 😂😂

[@fishstar2974]

Cuba was sick

[@howardbankler66]

[@johndixon649]

how is the pitch that bad in August it's going to be unplayable for months during Nov to march

Beautiful through ball from Toby for the second goal

[@andyc89-j3k]

👏🏼 well deserved win 🎉🎉🎉

[@lincolntupper3863]

So happy to see cornhill on the scoresheet

[@MasterTramsYouTube]

Ooh, that ending was nervy. I was sure I'd seen somewhere a 2-2 scoreline, and was praying that I'd misread it. Thankfully I did!

[@itsbarclay9613]

Recommendation for the hashtag boys (as a long time subscriber!). Totally get the bending to the algorithm thinking but one look at the comments and you will see how true fans feel. I’d recommend watching a presentation given by the CEO of Patreon, Jack Conte at SXSW conference this year. It talks about how bending your craft to fit an algorithm only punishes everyone in the long run. Make art and content the way you want it, unapologetically. Hope you go back to the previous ways and perhaps like some people suggest, add in things like a post match analysis could even be fun! I know it’s all experimental. Love the content regardless. Up the tags!

[@insidiiious4795]

Great result and performance. ⚽️

[@lewisdegnan5926]

Good first team goal for Olukoga

[@MagicalWoodchip]

This may be my favorite ground I’ve seen in the vids seems simple and cozy

[@maxthevolumme]

I don’t really mind these videos, at the end of the day I watch to see how the boys did in the game. Def miss some of the footage fr before the game starts but if ending it right after the final whistle makes a huge difference financially from these videos, then it’s the right one to make

[@dante.3581]

The half time part of the video in the lockers were good and its cool to see how the players react between halfs and the coaches too. Good game otherwise I hope soon the games wont be so exiciting at the end

[@TylerHughes-di7pe]

Thought the lads were brilliant today but so much more to come, top of the league next!

[@VictorMurp]

Ellis did a very good job on commentary tonight

[@machetedevils3043]

That Kane Gilbert that scored played for halstead town fc last season he was really good

[@winkles2314]

Well done lads. First of many. Great response.

[@winkles2314]

Seeing the lads win today, Higgo celebrated with his customary “neck as many pints as goals scored by the lads”. Every other team in the league shuddered when they realised his suspension ended with this match.

[@farreltimlin272]

I like the full time teamtalk

[@joellebob8723]

The longer edits are 100% better. These are good but not the same 😢

[@evancarney1039]

Personally I definitely prefer having the old edits, it’s actually how I got into the algorithm last year, and now im watching every video, postmatch, as well as the long form season p/reviews and TST. Strange that the algorithm tells that, but if it matters, I feel much more of a connection to the club when I see more of the character of the players and staff on the pitch. As strange as that sounds coming from an online watcher, seeing things like the fans or a canna throwback, it makes me more curious about the history of the club and now im even in a FM save with hashtag. Core audience retention is more important than algorithm optimization imo. I’d go with your gut spen

The start of the season that pitch looks very bad i hate to think what it's going to be like once it gets some rain on it.

[@cannonballbob6949]

09:20, it doesn't matter if he meant it or not, can't just stop a goal scoring oppertunity and go oh well he didnt mean it. He didn't get sent off cus Toby was going to the side and the ball was also getting away from him a bit, as well as there being another defender fairly close. Also I'm not saying whether it was a goal scoring opertunity and thus a red or not, just the reason as to why the reff decided to do as he did.

[@Бен-я7м]

Is it just me, or does the new keeper have a slight look of Bubba Ray Dudley?

[@Stinkysauce3102]

the away shirts bang!👍👍👍

[@jaruzan]

I'd kinda wish they'd add "finished x last season" to whoever we're up against to get an idea. I suppose the team's performance can vary a lot though? Anyways, great game, up the tags!

[@nic5706]

3 minutes of added time in the first half but ends it 40 seconds late 😂

[@StreamingForMom]

I'll be very surprised if we aren't competing for a promotion this year. Really quality additions. Ayo, Foxley, Quba, Gidds, all looked great first two games. Very excited to see Higgo's debut Saturday.

[@alxm1271]

Good win, Ayo looks like a much-needed muscle in the middle of the pitch, which by the way, was horrendous. Toby continues to be amazing for the team, but it feels we need Luke May-Parrot a lot, no actual scoring from our forwards. Up the tags!

[@CarterGoodall-w2x]

Toby was clearly onside 😂

The “red” doesn’t meet the dogso criteria, balls moving away and not towards the goal. Yellow is correct for stopping a promising attack
