[Matt]

Good results in our next three (Thatcham, Andover, Gosport) are vital.

[Mr Rebel]

pretty awful day for us basically

 

we shouldnt worry though and the team just need to make sure they get a win tuesday

 

i do fear for us if we dont get at least 4 points in the next 2 games though

[Chris]

Yeah I think we should worry! I think it's been a bit lost that although we are playing better, we still are not picking up points on a consistent basis. Games against Windsor, an injury-hit Marlow and Winchester (even though we were down to 10) we should have got more out of...

 

Vital Tuesday.

[Amber Rebel]

we mustnt underestimate thatcham despite their bad away record apparently they are a good side with an excellent midfield, if we are not carefull we could slip up, the trouble is i think often we are to attacking minded of course its good for the fans but we must take a long term view we must grind out draws and be prepared to play defensively to frustrate the opposition, its what the southern league is all about.

[Mr Rebel]

not for one minute am i underestimating thatcham its just a match we have to win no excuses especially with the scores today we have to beat all the lower teams at home

 

we will need to be shooting much more often to win any games

 

still need the wide players situation to be radically changed. is there any reason why Tom Attrell doesnt even get to come on as a sub anymore?

[Tom]

The only thing we have in our favour at the moment is that Bracknell have Fleet and Burnham as their next 2 games.

 

Luckily we have points on the board over games in hand...
