Edgware's play off hopes lay in tatters after yet another spineless display this afternoon at the Brentwood Arena

Just two weeks after the 0-5 debacle at Redbridge, Edgware met another playoff rival in another '6 pointer' and again handed the advantage to them on a plate in a gutless display, that had little passion or invention as Brentwood ran out two goal winners though in reality it could have been double figures had Rob Blackburne not been in outstanding form in between the sticks.

The match was over as a contest when at 0-1 down the referee showed Wares defender Ben Hayden a straight red and from the resulting free kick Brentwood doubled their advantage and it was game over!

Edgware could only muster two efforts on goal in 90 minutes, one in either half both falling to Adam Wallace, both requiring excellent stops, but yet again the Edgware strikeforce were totally inept in front of goal with despite all three forwards appearing on the pitch at some stage.

Edgware's season is in freefall with hopes of making the post season all but a distant memory, after such a fine start to their debut campaign in Ryman 1 North.

Questions need to be asked about the managerial duo's tactical nous in being unable to redress an alarming decline both in performances and results since the turn of the year, why for example defender Chris Ingham the best passer of the ball in the team was kept on the bench till the Wares were 0-2 down, and why veteran defender Fergus Moore has been brought in from rivals Wealdstone which smacks of an 'old pals act' Moore being a close friend of manager Steve Newing.

It is clear that some members of the squad who pull on the Green of Edgware are not up to the task and that they should be shown the door if the team are to progress.

The defeat leaves Edgware with a moutain to climb to get back into the playoff race and with the very real prospect of this being the final season in the clubs history the club appear to be bowing out with a whimper rather then a bang.
