Defenders than we have attackers it

seems but sack can take on multiple

players gets the shot off go to back and

no time to lag up the

Tes all right guys how you doing welcome

back to another hash United game we're

on the south coast we're playing

Hastings away it's like the battle of

the kind of almost acronyms anagrams

everyone always gets us mixed up

Hastings United # United very similar

they won the first ever battle in our

two club's history and they came to our

place Eddie they ended our brilliant

home Runner form didn't they back the

back end of 2023 yeah very sad 560 days

unbeaten at the lens salmon all came to

an end in a 2-1 defeat that day yeah and

let's not forget their Captain is Adam

love it brother of James love it # OG

Adam love it also featuring The Hash

Academy Season 1 along with the likes of

Scott Pollock so that's a player to look

out for today listen we love a bit of

Revenge we we're expecting a bit of a

battle here in Hastings yeah yeah what

I'm hoping is a little teaser for the

starting lineup William depre makes his

first start for the tag could we see

William the Conqueror at the Battle of

Hastings we could I hope we could I hope

we do because we're on a bad Runner form

as we know we ended the losses with a

draw last time out we need to get back

to winning ways double quick let's take

a look at the team that devs has picked

for this battle in Hastings so in goal

we have Josh shich in defense Harry H

and Jaden Randall Nathan Smith at left

back Ryan Sammons comes in at right back

Matt waldridge drops to the bench as I

mentioned William hopefully the

Conqueror de pre in Center Midfield

alongside Sam Cornish krepo just ahead

of those two with sakaan Pedro carvalo

and Luke May par making up the rest of

the attacking options on the bench as

mentioned mattity waldridge Misha JY

Alex tenola Greg howford and Ellis Deo

out tags as we spoke about the other

night we expect these to be uh a back

three box four Midfield with wing backs

and the central one up top uh they're

slightly lopsided in terms of the Left

sided Wing back we expect to play he

more like a Winger and the right one's

more stop at home in possession in

possession when we've got the ball there

is loads of space to us for us to get

the ball in wide areas which suits us I

want us to go and have a go at them

let's get still going come on big day

for

us here we go then not many times you'll

see me rooting for the team not playing

in clar and blue but that is Hastings of

course in the blue and clar hashtag in

the yellow and blue tiger stripes

despite being the away team here in

Hastings on the coast ready for Revenge

after losing our home record to them a

few months

ago is that like a quite a big pitch to

you balling behind here Salmons with

some early defending to do ref says no

foul oh wow is that not a foul on Ryan

Salmons yeah well I can barely hear you

over the so many people that are here

span but for me that was a nailed on

foul Sam looked like he had his shirt

pulled down it's not been given and

again our uh our track record are

starting fairly slowly Spen continues

absolute nightmare scenes here in

Hastings sammon's obviously bought into

the lineup today for Matty waldridge he

won't be happy about that but I

personally thought he was fouled I'm

surprised the ref didn't give it once

the attackers got past ammo there it's

just a simple job of playing it to his

Striker I mean I need to look back at it

where were the center backs why was that

Striker not picked up in the middle I

don't know what was happening there

either but either way the worst possible

start to a game of football for the tags

yeah I just think this pitch this is we

we need at on don't we and Max cor we

miss him massively these sorts of games

at this switch again every time they're

just going to do it all game now the

touch not bad Sam with some more

defending to do up against this Winger

he does it very well this time well down

Sam needed that that's unreal from s

unreal what a switch go on Sack Drive d

drive drive they just got so many more

Defenders than we have attackers it

seems but sack can take on multiple

players gets the shot off oh my God a

good save what a save spent I love it

though sack the form is in as well

you're just willing him to drive at the

defender and have a go and this time

takes the invitation has a go from the

edge of the box and causes the

goalkeeper a bit of a problem but he

answers that question well and we do

have a

corner

superb corner is going to come in by

Pedro looking for Randall who got the

last touch I thought they got the last

touch on that as

well can we Nick it they're really

playing around at the back and I feel

like there's going to be an opportunity

to come as a

result head does one in the middle it's

a lovely flick back inside you have to

recognize that comes back to Ken Moyes

here look back for the man to set up the

goal puts the cross in low left footed

enough to cause chz a problem and get a

corner the ball to John neura every

single time is is on and he's causing us

problems Corner comes in for Hastings

head at the back post was dangerous

you're not going to beat the eight in

the air so what you need to do is almost

kid to challenge and as as he's going

ahead it be drop off for the second no

not nudge drop off yeah drop off let him

slick it to you can he get Pedro in now

sack

maybe not yeah he's not quite got enough

on

that Smith does well Cornish does

brilliant here we go then Camilo can you

get it to Pedro there's the pass wow

what a ball Pedro got to get

there Defender done enough it's back

with a danger man

again look at this pass and move Sammy

Cornish superb sack wants it sack wants

it there it is sack take it your stride

son one on one skid him and score oh no

so close man agonizingly wide of the

post span really good play from Sam

Cornish and we have scored quite a few

few goals from nicking it in the middle

of the park Camilo more recently but Sam

Cornish on that occasion and finds sack

brilliantly thought he did everything

right but just couldn't hit the target

that was superb from Sammy cornes you

know sack's going to beat his man there

obviously he's taking it onto his

left just wide of the post but

encouraging

signs see when they can't go short they

clip it they don't actually goal kick it

they just clip it the pra actually

sniffed that one out though Pedro can

you get out your feet mate that'll do

gone past two or three players there

looking for the pass to sack finds him

in the Box can he get another goal on it

the left foot this time turns back to

the right Nathan Smith was going to get

it dink it in towards the back post

Camilo's there keeper gets their first I

wonder if sack has an opportunity to get

another shot off the left foot there and

he just doubts himself because of the

last one we got to stay high I think and

press have that he can't he's not

offside because it was played to him by

Hastings player Luke M par picks it up

finds sack he's got Camilo on the edge

if you can see him sack's going to go

for the shot instead and I think that's

bobbled right before he's hit that yeah

I I'll give uh give sack the benefit of

the doubt there did definitely Bobble

and we were having a little chat over

that side in the warmup it's horrible is

it cuz the ball's bobbling and he's

concentrating and it's

just we got some quite hard fixtures

though we got an amazing finish to the

season the last 10 games are like all

winnable but the next sort six are all

losable we need some players back that's

another good ball you know Sam's going

to get beaten in the race Randall might

have to save the day but he's got there

and he's fast and he's cutting US Open

Eddie yeah it's just too easy isn't it

spend one ball over the top in behind

and all of a sudden they're in I don't

know if there's a lot Str can really do

with that one he's so close just the

ball over the top it's just frustrating

to watch because it's so easy it's

literally the long ball causing problems

and two n down here after being the side

over the past 10 minutes the look most

likely to score the next goal we talk

about it every week at the moment this

is why Taking Chances is key they've

literally had two and they've scored two

and they've both been very good high XG

chances you could argue ours definitely

haven't been and that has to be taken

into consideration But ultimately the

pace of John Aura has killed us on two

occasions now he's got in behind Sam

Rand wasn't able to make up the ground

definitely nothing strz could do

one-onone with the KP expect him to

score there we had to get the defending

right before that point and yeah it's

not looking

good dangerous pass from H looking for

Randall here it's gone straight to the

other

team and they got a chance here but

Nathan Smith has defended ever so well

there and done enough to get it to striz

but it's only been helped a little bit

to the left and goes off for a

corner corner coming in for

Hastings he's going to drop in the

dangerous Area Head go straight towards

trovich though and he can catch that one

yeah well held St

but it's one you'd expect them to make

but they big side SE set pieces do worry

me I can't lie

Spen big throw from black headed out by

dpre no no I don't think Cornish can do

anything there cuz Ur was sort of

blocking Cornish pulled out the way and

suddenly the players were on top of each

other is he going to shoot surely not no

I don't think he is well Pedro's going

to get back in the wall it's a ball in

headed

away can we get it again no fouls boys

oh he's done ever so well then he's

going to get shot off but that's in the

stand go one oh I think got to cut out

that passing Lane they always have got

one haven't they do take chances though

well done sack oh not holding on to it

oh he's got past the prey now we need to

be quick there's the ball in

behind it's this man again again he's

already got a goal and assist Aura up

against salmon he's going to shoot I

think it was Sam the last minute block

there yeah it was a really important

block and really good one from Ryan

Salmons after he turned back

in another ping down this side here

towards Rari Rari finds the other goal

scorer Aura but he's off side kick the

ball away there

ref you can see where the ball's gone

s's kick he's not going to meet anyone

in hashtag shirt cuz the halftime

whistle is gone nightmare start to the

game we have had flashes but we are two-

n down once again the same old story not

taking our chances the opposition

absolutely taking theirs big halftime

talk coming up first things first get

your heads out your

asses because the only way we stand any

chance of getting back in this game is

if we keep our heads up and get back get

back to the the the attitude that we

showed after conceding the first

goal because for half an hour you were

really good and you dominated the game

you controlled possession and you had

chances two Dreadful Dreadful goals to

concede and the second one is the killer

because we're in the game but one goal

from us could bring another you seen

where the spaces are to get when we get

the ball in possession they're

vulnerable if we if we use the ball well

but we've got to stop feeling sorry for

ourselves because that's what it looks

like it looks like it looks like it's

become tough yeah it is tough but

Salvage something for

sake and we're underway for the second

half there has been a change Matthew

waldridge is back on the pitch and Ryan

Salmons has been replaced come on boys

let's make something happen happen

here they just take everything they can

just take everything down what's that

there's no time they header forward and

they're just taking it down having a

touch looking around like where's the

Press got to get Camilo higher up with

Luke I

think especially at two n

down might be the book here as well

might guarantee his substitution at some

point

de pre needs to get closer to the

Hastings man here who gets his cross in

radari he's a danger man top goal

scorer it's going to be a long shot

though speculative at

best

Smith back to H Harold h you could say

good ball you know sakan get there run

for it my boy

Camilo beats his man

can he cross now no he holds it up he up

against love it here beats him couple

times oh he's still going it's fantastic

play sakaan though has to throw himself

at it and rreo has just reminded us what

he's capable of there yeah Callum rrep

pulls out the foot all feet

again this time beating two with just a

body faint I don't even think he touched

the ball there unbelievable skill I

found Pedro and I thought it was a

really intelligent play from Pedro to

set it back but sack don't know whether

he wasn't expecting it or caught in his

heels but just couldn't quite reach the

ball Corner goes short to Cornish we

know that he can whip these crosses in

from here he's done it to great effect

in recent times twice in January

fantastic assist from that area one

against dich and one against Enfield

last

week oh no Matty's not coming away with

the ball the strength for a Nathan Smith

well done you had to be

done here's sakan on the left side a

recently introduced makes a decoy run

sack still going really strong tackle

though from the number 15 for Hastings

challenge Camilo great

tackle on a yellow card as well got to

get them right and he

diding from Nathan there some challenges

flying in here at the moment I'll tell

you did you know that zakan serious curl

on

that oh

[Applause]

there there was a couple fouls there

from Sam Cornish it's the right decision

you know what it's the right decision

from him to do it though Cornish had to

stop him because we know what that

player can do on the

burst big switch over here to AO the

right back fantastic first touch Nathan

will probably get a yellow card rest

played Advantage actually and it's a

good one you might go back for the

booking we've got other things to worry

about right now is it it comes back to

aoy he crosses in low H

clears they got the lead to protect

haven't

they Cornish to M par he's got Pedro

with him he might cross instead looking

for at it's a low

one can we Nick it oh wow don't foul him

Camilo oh no he's not going to Second

yellow him is he he's not going to do it

is he oh my God he's doing it oh my

God two yellow in the space of about 2

minutes for Sam Cornish I feel like you

allow a little bit of game management

there from The Ref no that's not a red

card offense of two things he's done is

I mean by the letter of the law it

probably is but that feels harsh man

right a 441 right May should be coming

on for um for Luke being defensively

solid for the last half out work our

bollocks off yeah and make sure we make

good

decisions

what was the least people you'd accepted

here today least th

thousand it will be

yeah

switch chance here for the danger man

across one in back post header was a

little bit high for the five gets it

back in the Box though lays it to the

edge for Adam lit big chance there for

Adam loic to hit the target of the least

but uh it's just getting worse isn't it

really

spent have they been in around National

League South before Hastings seems like

a big setup here you think they

would sakaan to at back to

sack back to

at Randall gets it off

Camilo waldridge now with one of his

trademark runs and hits a shot and they

move like nobody's business we know that

keeper couldn't catch it the first time

of AR asking yeah and in a game like

this where it's gone a bit stale you're

asking someone to just grab the game by

the horns have a go do something and try

and get us that little bit of motivation

to maybe get a goal and you know create

a exciting finish to the game and Matty

as he often does having a go pot shot

from distance something like that we're

going to need something like that if

we're going to get anything from this

game yeah hey hey hey keep going keep

going Camilo actually had a decent game

I

think oh wow serious work from Camilo

gets it to sack sack's not done bad

either it's just too many of them you're

asking each player to beat three men at

this point yeah he did really well

between them as well that it was lovely

play but just too

many yeah once you once you oh oh it's

kicked off the floor it's too late for

us but he's got if he doesn't get a red

card now I might walk out it's all kicks

off here

if that lad doesn't get sent off I I'm

not having it I've just seen him kick is

it Pedro on the floor sack was on the

floor I've seen him get kicked twice

there it was an absolute carbon copy

he's a yellow carded him a carbon copy

of Josh Stokes against us for sub last

year he just yellow card carded him he's

seen it he's clearly seen it even their

bench that's a red card kicked the ball

kicked him from the B like set one I'm

kicking the ball but I'm kicking him

through the

ball Rand

pumps it towards at wins his header sack

gets

up cleared only as far as

Camilo oh Camilo oh wow you know what I

actually don't mind it to be honest he's

he's earned it isn't he really yeah he

has earned it and it's probably

percentage wise as good a chance of us

scoring from that as keeping the ball

down we've definitely had more shots

than them this

game a lot more and it's the final

whistle and it's a disappointing two-nil

defeat obvious obviously affected by the

red card against Sam Cornish but really

the early goals did hurt us 2 and a half

thousand people in the crowd today Eddie

here and they'll be happy as the

Hastings fans get a win for their team

what did you make of it yeah it's

another tough one isn't it just

sometimes when the locks against you it

really does continue to be against you

tough result and uh we'll be looking to

bounce back again I guess who's your UFL

player of the match I'm going to go with

the man that scored and assisted today

yeah JN aurer he was a constant problem

in the first half especially but that's

it you can see the league table

obviously we don't go any higher we lost

today we do drop down a little bit in

the league table we got lots of games

coming up very busy February fixtures we

got one more game still in January as

well with chattam away on Tuesday night
