    I’m calling it…

    We’re going to go on a cracking little run now and we’ll finish 5th.

    The fact that we have to go on a cracking little run to finish 5th is a worry itself. However COYP.

    Pass the Pipe I'll have a drag. Think we will scrape in, but after that, it's a lottery

    Until IB comes up with a plan B against teams who successfully high press us we'll be playing in this division

    I think the players came up with their own plan B last night when BW were pressing high they went long. Sometimes it came straight back but when Wootton won the ball we went on the attack. IB did seem not too happy about it but it seemed to work.

    And it did work, Td. I've never been a fan of playing out from the back at our level. Whether Burchy liked it or not the early release upset the press of BW and gave us an option to move forward quicker. I think it must have been Slocombe's initiative as till then our fullbacks were dutifully standing wide in our penalty area, it was Slocombe's gentle underhand waving them forward that did the trick.

    Methinks our goalie was reading the game better than the manager, certainly better than the BW manager as his players weren't sure of our next moves.

    Slocombe was playing it long second half BECAUSE of the BW high line. In the second half Lacey was shagged and Rawlo, despite his obvious defensive talents is not a ball playing CB. The options simply weren't there to play out from the back. If we had a fit Cameron and Brindley in there then playing out from the back would most definitely have continued.

    Surely you've got that the wrong way round, Pedders.
