The answer is simple, get off our arses on Saturday and support the team to a double over the undefeatable.
Regarding the twelfth man, we sound better together on the terrace, kick towards there in the second half. The noise will give the team the lift they need.

Brilliant post Lee.

Good post from both Lee and Steve, From Steve he is saying keep going you never know your luck and Lee lets behind the boys big style on Saturday

I think by the time Saturday comes everybody will have put the St. Andrews game behind them and be up for Spalding. There is a slight glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel and a victory would put some pressure of Spalding even though the title is a tad optimistic now. I'm hoping for a decent performance and even a 2 or 3 goal victory!

Well put, we keep building our club, we've already so much to be proud of. Upsets happen that's football. No need for wholesale changes, Starms and the team are as gutted as us and I'm sure if changes are needed I trust Starms is the man to do it.

I was there on Saturday and haven't had time really to look through all the comments on here but ok we lost and didn't play great but any talk of a manger change is complete nonsense. Only One UCL team has gone further than us in the Vase and I'm pretty sure we went the furthest last season and look how well we did in the FACup. We finished second to big spending Sileby last season and probably finished second to another big spending team this season

So if we did replace the manager who we going bring in with UCL "contacts" have you seen how most of the managers behave and how unprofessional they are in the UCL

I also don't think we will ever find a manager who is as passionate about us doing so well which I think is evident in all interviews

That's up to our Captain. Last 3 home matches the captain on the day has led our players to the far end after the handshakes. Boxing Day, Wellingborough captain did the same thing.

Wellingborough were the home ream that day could be something to do with the way they line up.

Yes I realised that when posting and I think their captain did the same as our captain has recently done and lined up at the river end forcing us to kick the 'proper way' in the first half. ;)
Certainly made a considerable difference to us that day as we completely overran them second half roared on by the very vocal PDB terrace support. We needed that last Saturday and I feel it will be vital to us this Saturday against the Tulips if we are to get anything out of the game.

I would have thought it was done due to the fact that the river end is the worst of the two halves with regards to the pitch.

Even more of a case to be attacking the better PDB end in the second period then. ;)

you can argue it either way as it will cut up more and be more difficult to defend
