On The Bright Side

[Andy Walsh]

It's a shame we are out the cup, but the league is more important.

If Danny Hockton keeps scoring we should rise up the league pretty quickly.

Surely he must be the signing of the summer in our league. He's only one short of double figures and it's not October yet. If he can score that many goals when we are not doing well, then if we start getting the results he should have a bag full.

 

I think we've a good chance against Stortford as they've been pretty poor recently.

Well obviously dissapointed that I'm not going to see any FA cup footie this season... even I could see that they shouldn't have been given a pen and I was somewhere near Peterborough at the time, barrelling down the A1 <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

 

We've got to look at this as an advantage - we've played 2 games a week since the start of the season, so we've now got an opportunity or two to rest the squad - important with a small squad with a few injuries. The long range Simon BTFC endorsed weather forecast is predicting a very cold winter with a lot of matches lost to frozen pitches, so if we can avoid a fixture backlog that will give us an advantage over the usual suspects who struggle to get games played in January.

 

Last time we took an early out in the Cup (albeit one round further in), we went on to finish in our highest ever league position and had a good run in the Trophy.

 

Also worth noting that the Ryman league champions over the past few seasons have tended towards mediocrity in the FA cup runs.....

On the dark side we now dont have the money winning the tie would have brought in and therefore wont have money to bring in players that we desperately need

[Little Miss Urchin]

Your players seem good enough from what I've seen. It's just a confidence thing. Billericay have beaten two of the best clubs in the league (grr...) so have proven that they are capable of putting in a good performance and picking up the three points, just not on a regular basis.

Hey, LMU, the way you're going, you'll be needing a Blue and White scarf soon

[pabird]

Who were the two good sides you had in mind LMU

[Little Miss Urchin]

Actually, since I wrote that I realised they have only beat one top club so far. Just look at where the Poppies are at the moment!! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

As for your suggestion about a new scarf, Gazza... <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Even my uni one is red/white stripe on one side. It's meant to be. (Unless you look at the other side which is black/white - watch out Notts County, here I come....!! <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />).

So that's why they're going bust then!! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

BTW: The yellow and blue scarf is in the post!

[GazzaBTFC]

I think she'll prefer a blue and white one yellow

 

[Little Miss Urchin]

I'm quite happy with my black/white/red one thank you - it's v warm. My sheep is very happy with the Urchins one (though I must admit I do nick it off him when it gets particularly cold <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />).

[YELLOW]

Well my scarf is personalised! Well it's got Yellow Army on it!

 

I'm surprised the sheep hasn't tried to eat your scarf yet!

[Little Miss Urchin]

He's very well trained.

[GazzaBTFC]

Hey I've got two scarfs as well.

[Little Miss Urchin]

Dear oh dear. Some people are just take, take, take!
