PLAYOFF FINALISTS! - Hornchurch FC vs Hashtag United - 23/24 Ep5

[@play4dc]

You can tell this is another step up. I'll trust the process. I feel like we're missing that bit of magic and confidence in the final third. I'm glad Jermaine got picked up at step 6 but you can see he's missed.

[@TheBosborn]

I've been there! Came all the way from USA to watch Spurs in 2018... Had a free night, so I took the train out to see another game. Ate a pie, drank a couple, watched Hornchurch v Lewes, and some kids asked me for a cigarette. Felt like the authentic experience.

[@URCHIN9107]

Cheers, we do try to create a decent atmosphere home and away. Hashtag fans that came were quite loud too. Having a 1000+ crowd for a home league game is great for us and I expect we will take a 100+ crowd away to Hashtag on New Year's Day including myself. We should be in title contention this season again and hopefully go 1 step further. From what I saw I think Hashtag will be challenging for the back end of the play offs, they looked a well setup team with good quality.

[@saintssport1]

That wall! No wonder Andre was pissed

[@brandonshipman6434]

and it was the third time that the wall was bad too! ball went around it once and there was another time there was a big whole in the wall also

[@James-vy5jg]

Shit goalkeeping too, he was just ball watching. Terrible reflexes

[@lleytonsmith5736]

Players need to link arms, easiest way to ensure your wall doesn't get any holes in it. Was taught that at 10 years old and these blokes couldn't do it ffs

[@ezeuzuka3344]

They literally seperated as soon as they jumped..it was horrible

[@Guacho.]

Alexis Andre jr is by far the best player on this team. Everyone else looked lost out there.

[@MmMilaNnN.]

Trust me this is the worst I've seen them seen play this entire season.

[@MmMilaNnN.]

But they are better than what they were that game

[@kasparstrugar5280]

PK had a very industrious performance as well but Alexis is clearly a fantastic player

[@velocitygaming7037]

way better than phillips

[@lleytonsmith5736]

He's a national league keeper of course he's the best player

[@alxm1271]

I saw little energy from all of midfield apart from PK. Hashtag looked like a jaded team. I guess it has a lot to do with playing twice in 48 hours. Maybe you guys can get a new midfield dynamo to help speed things up. Also, this category already shows why goals are paid so handsomely in bigger leagues. Not easy to score with such quality of keepers and defenders in this level. But whatever may come, We remain Hashtag faithful through good and bad! Up the TAGS!!!

[@espben360]

Not just 2 games in 48 hours, but 4 games in 2 weeks! Definitely takes its toll

[@xFilthy]

That was a clear pen on the pull on Misha would have changed the game. Unlucky Plus wth was that hand ball

[@Lbeee03]

Clear pen but I don’t think it was handball I think it hit his thigh I might be wrong. Also need to remember not everything goes your way in football even though because it’s a KZbin based club doesn’t mean it’s always going to be a fairytale story. This is real life football in the end these things happen some will be against us some will be for us. Think the performance had a bigger impact on the result than the decisions.

[@xFilthy]

@@Lbeee03 idk looked like lower arm to me but ok Yh but if they got the pen in the first half, 1-0 its a completely different game but yh was not a good enough performance

[@Lbeee03]

@@xFilthy I mean we couldn’t really see so we don’t know and same with the officials there. True if we scored the pen it is totally but I don’t think we should be talking about the ref because if you’ve played football you know how hard it is and I’m not expecting every decision to be the correct one but ultimately I don’t think that overshadows the performance that’s all I’m saying bud👍🏻

[@cakedog19]

Clueless... that new striker is a donkey. #DevOut

[@PetrusTheBlue]

Hornchurch’s defense was stellar and just kept us from having enough clear cut chances. The 3-0 stat line makes the performance look was worse than it was but we had some great opportunities against a team that’s definitely going to challenge for the league. Respectable performance from the squad, we just need to get the results against the lower teams in the league

[@lleytonsmith5736]

Just a shite second half, conceded sloppy goals and didn't create any good chances really.

[@MultiMazdo]

An absolute collapse from Hashtag, admittedly baffled how the ref or linesman didn't see that handball for the first goal, but they were leaps and bounds better than us. Sak being injured is not a good sign for us. I know it was only a 48 hour turnaround, but we need to be better in the next game, lets hope we can also get some luck. Up the Tags! #💛💙

[@Justin12345678876]

Also, the clear penalty at 0-0

[@connorwilson4357]

Tbf Hornchurch have a lot of quality for this level. Having Sean Scannell up top without it even being a big deal is mad, he's still only 32.

[@Xhenix]

Ikr? I was so surprised to see him playing here. He was in League Two not so long ago!

[@jonnyl3wis]

Was thinking the same thing! HTAFC fan (as well as tags) here and I couldn’t believe they didn’t pick that up! Played for Grimsby last season

[@npflsupremo190]

I heard Pedro is a free agent again, if it’s true we need to bring him back.

[@Mystix07]

100% him and sak mixing up on left with toby on right. Misha isnt it

[@soundsasleep01]

This is more about how good Hornchurch is than how poor Hashtag were. Hornchurch have some amazing talent and connections. For those who know league 1 and 2 football. 4 of those players have played at that level only 2-3 years ago.

[@martinavery3205]

Good to see you leaving the highlights in of them pinging it round and the crowd bantering etc most would leave it out gg tags unlucky on the day shows how good the league is Hornchurch looked class

[@Lbeee03]

Looked like men vs boys today. Shame the lads weren’t at it but lots of people underestimate how hard the step up is and this just shows that we’re levels behind the top teams and that’s understandable. If anyone thinks we can just keep winning and getting promoted then you need to get real, because it’s unfair the pressure that the lads and everyone at hashtag will get but I guess you get pros and cons from a KZbin based club and audience. We will grow from this and people need to remember this is the first time for some lads at this level it’s a big step up. But well done we go again up the tags!

[@movzfast]

Alexis is super quality. Feel extremely bad for those 3 goals as it extreme pain for a GK but he's top quality. You see it in his positioning, his steady hands and his movement before a save. Lovely to see it

[@TheColerain11]

Hashtag had tired legs today. They all looked a step slower than everyone on the opposition

I remember you playing this lot back in the 1st season in a friendly when there were 3 divisions between both teams. Came a long way since then. Let's bounce back next game.

[@valroxen9547]

Just a difference in quality there, you can tell why they made the playoff final last season such an organised side. Some real fantastic players in their side, punished the mistakes. Tags were poor today, kept up with them for a fair wack of the game but just lost it towards the end. 2nd and 3rd goals are really poor, but the score line reflects the performance. The attacking this season has been mixed at best but today it was real poor, Sully looked almost lost going forward but we know what he can do. End of the day it happens, can't win em all. Just need to get the attitude right and go again next week. Up the tags! (May I add what a goated crowd that was from Hornchurch)

[@Joseph-f6i8f]

Just the straight facts! Was gonna say the same things

[@Fisshhyy0]

Teniola is clear of Zuhou who was poor today. Too many missed opportunities. Also first one was a clear handball Lino should’ve seen than and clear foul on misha

[@jaswantrahmee8105]

Not that I dislike Teniola, but look at the chances he has missed. Zullu his workrate and holdup play seem better to me right now. The one who finds form first will be the starter.

[@U_S_R]

imo hassan is pish

[@FerventNut]

@@jaswantrahmee8105Teniola gets in the key positions to receive chances and he offers a LOT to the buildup play. He’s still very clinical and offers a ton of goals. Zulu has offered absolutely nothing. He’s weak gets bullied off the ball doesn’t get onto chances and isn’t clinical. Teniola is clear.

[@benholt06]

Gonna have these games at this level boys. Only performance this year where you were clearly outclassed but also had a couple of refereeing decisions that could’ve gone the other way. Keep playing with physicality and defending well and you lads are good enough to finish in the top half of this league, which would be bloody impressive. Can’t expect promotion every year lads.

Good effort considering the 48 hr turn around. The clear pen on the drag down in the box and the handball for the first goal were just the two most obvious errors the ref made, unfortunately they turned into huge moments that changed the course of the match.

Great defending from both sides but I think the tags would benefit from having 2 at the top. Sule looked so lonely a lot of the time he needs the support.

[@movzfast]

It's a big shame almost no one that made the magic happen except Toby stayed from last year.. You feel that in the quality of chances we get. We have chances, but they are half as good as last year. We terrorized the box last year. Now we're lucky if we get close and don't feel confident enough with the players that are here to make that extra dribble/pass for that better chance. Everything feel forced. I 100% trust the process though. Up the tags!

[@neldfs365]

Very very tough opposition. The attackers were absolutely woeful and were struggling to create chances. Misha falls over for any bit of contact. Alexis Andre had every right to be upset with the wall that was shocking.

[@meeraaudio]

That team physically were massive which I think is an obstacle for us. I don't think we're good enough going forward and is why I mentioned cutting Higgsy was a weird decision. We don't have that spark. If we had Jermaine and Pedro I think we would be really tough to beat.

[@lipslidemyrail]

That foul in the box. Bro just hip tossed him off the ball.

[@E.l.h123]

[@HobbenTroutski]

Probably should have been a penalty in the first half and probably should have been handball for their first goal, but thats football it doesn’t always go your way. Once they broke the deadlock their quality prevailed. Unlucky and a decent performance. Up the tags!

[@Spuddowww]

3-0 score line is a very unfair reflection of the game. Had a few decent opportunities but just lacked that final touch. Definitely should have been a pen in the first half for that pull and their first goal certainly looked like a handball. Think the lads need to be a bit louder and shout for stuff like that, no appeals for the pen other than the man who was dragged down and no appeals for handball from any of the defenders. Second goal was absolutely avoidable, very poor from the lads in the wall and happened multiple times so hopefully something which can be fixed for the future. Deserved more from this match really but we need to step up and find that quality in the final third if we want to be a strong team at this level.

Hornchurch no doubt are a good team at this level this year but Hashtag are there own worst enemies at times need a proper striker keep saying it.

Poor from Hashtag today, definitely going to be a challenge this season but I've no doubts that we have the quality to fight for promotion. Seems like the boys just need some confidence. Zudhu seems like a good player but definitely remains second choice of Teniola for me, he had to try and dink the keeper on that chance. ANd I don't like to say it but not rating Wyan Reid too much, gives it his all but think he lacks a bit, hope they both prove me wrong. Quality team to be fair but the opportunity was there to get the win but 2nd half was terrible. Need to bounce back from this one and let it fuel our hunger UPTHETAGS

[@espben360]

1st goal clear hand their striker swings his arm towards the ball. 2nd one the wall dose not do it’s job well. We have done well to stay unbeaten for so long, and realistically, away to a team who were sooo close to national league south, away from home, is one that we probably were favorites to lose. Need to pick our selves for FA cup and hopefully a good attempt at going far this season.

[@ForzaBantams]

Didn’t know Sean Scannell was at Hornchurch. Ex Bradford City and that other team from West Yorkshire in blue & white. I really rated him until we signed him and he was a bit of a disappointment. Still 32 and at this level, really should still be playing higher up 🤷‍♂️ Looks like this season is going to be very tough. A lot of good teams in this league. I’m pretty sure Hashtag didn’t make the best of starts last season before things clicked, so it might be a case of the same again. Just looks like one of those divisions where it’s hard to gauge whether your going to be fighting for promotion or against relegation so every point really does matter. As for PK. Since the back end of last season he has come so far. I was always finding he just needed that vision adding to his game, the decision making. And nobody is perfect but it has drastically improved to a point where it seems he’s put a lot of effort into that side of his game. And I’m the main, it’s paying off.

[@fresh4522]

why is it that hashtags defenders play good when they move up the field and terrible or " under average for you softys out there " at the back defending? and yea it was a pen for hash and maybe a hand ball when they scored, but i did not see one guy complain that it was a hand ball
