It felt as though they were playing for damage limitation. They did a good job of that, but really offered very little threat. The main ambition was to keep it away from their goal.

I honestly felt that the best response for him at the end would have been complete silence. Was never going to happen, but it would have been the most telling, rather the unpleasant abuse.

We were so bad it was laughable. 4 goals presented to Curzon and a couple more nearly given away as well. Just about every player missing in action. Curzon were good enough, without having to be great. Most of their efforts went in. We failed to create anything that would trouble their defence...

I can see Chesham v Lincoln being the main feature.

I think a combination of a couple of diffcult games to start (Spennymoor away first game followed by Brackley) as well as not quite clicking properly to begin with. A bit of a hangover from last season when we struggled to score for a long time. We seem to have got over that, but still seem to...

Dave, we haven't scored a goal at home since the game before we played you at home last season. That is seven games ago! We scored 6 away at Buxton and 4 at Gloucester, but those are on plastic pitches. We train on a plastic pitch. Something isn't quite right.

The problem is that when you have seen your pitch shortened and narrowed and then all your wingers dispatched with, then you know what you are going to get. Playing with 4 identikit strikers doesn't work and after a while we end up resort to lumping it up to a group of relative midgets. We were...

If you enjoy watching that, fine. I would like to see my side do more than launch long throws into the box. I don't have a beef with anyone or mind losing to to decent football, but I know what I watched yesterday from both sides. Equally, I'd like to see my side play with more width and with...

Absolutely. Horrible to watch, but I guess it works for them. Probably why there were only about 12 of them there to watch it though. As for us, we need to get better and quick or it's going to be a long season.

I didn't see Brackley take control. They scored a from a long throw hurled into the box from which the ref allowed their players to climb all over ours. The ball fell to Connor Hall about 1 metre out, fortunate for him because I don't think he fancied running much. That was the only thing they...

Spennymoor (A), Brackley (H), Radcliffe (H). Easy. :)

George Reynolds?:bl: (yes, I know he is no longer here).

For us it depends on how many of our better players we can hang on to. I expect Stanway and Williams to depart. Hopefully Burke will stay another year. Weeks is contracted for another year, but needs to be better than this year. To be honest we threw it away this year. A lack of firepower and...

I could see us wanting 1000, especially if we were doing well at the time. We took well over 600 to Tamworth this time round, despite our poor run. It will be interesting who fancies the outing to Needham Market though, especially on a February Tuesday evening :bg:

Agree with you on that one.
