following on from what Pigman and others have written. We have played 3 of the current top six and won two and drawn one so I am sure we can confidently say "we have arrived" and its Aylesbury next up.

Another great result. Hope Bunting's injury isn't too serious.

Hope Bunting's injury isn't too serious.

Speaking to him after the match he said 'just a slight strain and not a recurrence of any old injury' so just a precautionary substitution.

Not the best performance by a long way, especially first half. NGU were an awkward team to play against. Thought Wilkinson was good when he came on, Berwick was good also.

An excellent 3-1 victory, with us not performing to are best. Yet we still take the 3 points home. top of the league.

Thought the officials were probably the best we have had this season, Ref let the game carry on as much as possible, only thing I thought he got wrong was, if the No 2 didn`t get a Red for the tackle on Claudio on the edge of the box, then the follow up one by the half way line 10 mins later was certainly another yellow and he should have walked then. That said the booking Moore the No 10 got was possibly a bit harsh. Their Nos 2,3 & 4 were possibly as a unit the worst back line combination I`ve seen this season, a times they reminded me of Jim Rodwell, anywhere will do as long as it`s out the ground. The No 5 it was alleged is being watched by Cardiff ? tall well built lad so presume to model the kit.

The left back, left centre back and goalkeeper were talking to each other in a foreign langauge. Not unusual in the Premier League I should imagine but strange at this level.

Given the way they played in the second half, I suspect they weren't all speaking the same language!

Strange set up at Greenford, one of the Management team is ex French international its alleged, they have no playing budget and the team descends on the ground from various parts of London. They are all linked to a group of agents who invite scouts down to watch them. From what I heard on Saturday would guess the agents are Greek, French colonial & possibly Dutch, so given the state of the current Netherlands national team don't be surprised if you see someone from Saturday playing international football soon.
