WIndsor 3 - 1 Cirencester...

[Fuzzy Royal]

If you remember the game was called off Saturday due to the pitch (who would have thought in those days!!!) and all teh players came down the club on the Sunday and we watched the draw. Just incredible, and if Chris Yates had put that last minute chance away........

[Windsor Rebel]

Indeed, our best memory of those days was beating Millwall in 1982.

The other game i seem to remember was watching Woking beat Windsor in the Cup 4-2 - do you remember that foggy night?

[Fuzzy Royal]

Indeed, a Chalky White free kick was it not to beat Milwall? I think the Woking game was a replayed match that was abandoned due to fog. We even made a rare appearance on MotD so shows how far we have fallen!!!

 

[Windsor Rebel]

Do you think you will beat Team Bath?

[Fuzzy Royal]

we can, and if we have a full side and they perform to their max then i think we will not lose. But it will be a very good test and i won't be upset if we lose as they are a couple of divisions above us and looking good in that division. As long as we play as well as we can I will be happy, and a win is not beyond us by any stretch of teh imagination. i always go to a game expecting us to win, blind optimism, this should bee a good day out anyway, even if it is a Sunday!!! You never know in these sort of games, their style may allow us to play well, or it may stop us playing completely. I hope we beat them, lets leave it at that!!

While we're on the subject of nostalgia I was at the Bournemouth game, standing with the other 1,999 (allegedly) AFCB fans on the mud in the Chicken Run and my abiding memory of that game - apart from the fact that Windsor should have won it - is sliding slowly down the mud and having to scramble back up every thirty seconds or so!

Some might also remember that a few years later Saint 'Arry, then managing West Ham, was interviewed by the BBC on a Saturday afternoon on the subject of Cup games against non-league sides. He stated live on national TV that Bournemouth had a tougher game in the 2nd round against WEFC than they did in the 3rd round against Manchester United.

Now, that's a man who knows football.

Gosh... I am truly shocked! The Windsor Rebel has used our forum to discus football and does it constructively! I'm happy to see that you have Windsor Rebel, let

[Fuzzy Royal]

Hovis, its to see the Windsor Aces, the Windsor Races are not, to my knowledge, down St Leonard's Road but along the Maidenhead Road. The Windsor Aces (top of the league and still in 3 cups) on the other hand do play there.

Sorry, just had to point it out LOL!!

[The Hovis Kid]

My mistake, my Mancunian accent would sound like races though! Ha ha, quality!

 

It has now been changed!

As one of the few progmatic and objective Slough fans who comes on our forum, how strong would you really say Slough's squad is?

Since you asked - the reason I questioned you is that you think we said we have the best squad in the league. I am not going to go trawling back through posts but I really don't believe this to be true. Most people would say Truro I think.

For what it's worth I think we do have a much better squad than last season, but then we all knew that last season's team was sh*te. Individually I believe most of them to be decent players, if you look for example at the three strikers, they are all proven goalscorers. At the back, Evans for example won this league last season and Allaway is no mug. So when people say we'll do better when they've gelled properly as a team, I'd tend to agree. But this hasn't happened yet, and as people have quite rightly said, this is down to the management.

As for challenging for promotion - I honestly think anything is possible in this league and there was no harm in having that ambition at the start of the season. But as I've said many times, it may take time to get a decent team together playing well and getting results, like Windsor have done. Now I can see us finishing mid-table, maybe into the top 10 if we can get it together.

[Fuzzy Royal]

I believe the thing to do is to put a run together to get you into the fray and then throw it away with a few games of the season left. This leaves you both frustrated and with optimism for the next year, how many times do you then see that optimism destroyed in the opening few games and so the circle begins again. It has taken Windsor this long to get it right so goos luck but if these players are good it is always a danger that they will go somewhere they will get promotion (or think they will). Oh, and the thread did say you had the best squad, which is why I found it amusing. On the Truro thing, is it true they are starting to run low on funds?!?!?!
