There was literally no way this was going to be on, surprised it took an hour to be announced

The ref couldn't get to the ground until after 11 so it was not over an hour

So after today’s results it clearly is going to be 2 from 4 (possibly 5 if you count Cambridge City) that go down. After such a shocking start to the season we could be off bottom if we won our 2 games in hand (easier said than done at the moment) but survival is not a long shot. However we have simply got to start picking up points. Can’t wait much longer. Still about 2 or 3 players short especially a striker who can score goals. Starting with a tough trip to Lye on Saturday.

At least St Albans got a game. Taunton came to Eastbourne and match was abandoned due to fog, something an all weather pitch cannot help with!Brownie wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 8:36 pmConsider yourself fortunate being at home!

We have a decent enough goals against column. There are 5 teams above us who have conceded more plus 2 others with 1 goal less against. The whole focus is our pathetic goal scoring column. I don't care if we have to resign Alfie Taylor, the Flamingo, Dunks and Faz. We need some power up front and a goal hanger, I'd even take a 50% Shanks at this stage.fentiger79 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 9:19 pm So after today’s results it clearly is going to be 2 from 4 (possibly 5 if you count Cambridge City) that go down.

Indeed, it was nice to see Rugby and Gresley get thrashed yesterday, Gresley in particular are in a real bad patch at the moment and unlike them we don't get well beaten against anyone, we rarely concede more than 2 goals. But we have had what is sadly a losing mentality this season, and we have just one measly point in 3 games against our nearest relegation rivals and the inability to score still has not shown any signs of improving. Surely there is a UCL striker somewhere that we could sign, even step 6?fentiger79 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 9:19 pm So after today’s results it clearly is going to be 2 from 4 (possibly 5 if you count Cambridge City) that go down.

The trouble is a proven goalscorer at Step 5 or 6 who scoring goals for fun is probably in a team with a chance of promotion. You are enjoying your football, scoring goals. Why would you come to a team low in confidence and bottom of the league? It really is a difficult one and I am convinced plenty of 7 day approaches have gone in over the past few weeks.

I think Jim Burnside proved last season that a good scoring record two leagues below our level does not equal goals at our level. And I believe Will Jones had a good strike rate at Bugbrooke last season.

There are no pitching NL midlands fixtures scheduled for feb 10th,so an obvious date for rearranging this game and all the others postponed on Saturday. But I bet there is a rule somewhere to scupper that idea! So we can look forward to another cold or wet Tuesday night in January
