Dunstable at home 9th September

[Curtis]

Back to the league this weekend and a home match against a Dunstable side who have lost four of their league matches, conceding 20 goals and scoring once, and managed a 1-1 at Royston in their other one.

 

They have lost to some good clubs though..... Banbury, Redditch, Merthyr and Kings Langley.

 

Results would seem to indicate they may be short on confidence, but if they are competitive and still in with a chance at half-time are capable of battling for a point.

 

Betway are quoting us at odds of 1/9 (so nothing to be made there), with a Dunstable win quoted at 16/1, and the draw at 7/1.

They are a young side (similar to Gosport). I believe their budget was cut before the start of the season, hence the

younger players being fielded

Anyone know why the 'money man/men' left? Did only take them 5 years to realise they were wasting their money and there was no potential?

I think you're right their Glen.

 

If a person puts their money into a club the very least he expects is for the locals to respond with improved support but the owner gave it his best shot and was let down. 

[Reading Rebel]

No games a given, Dunny will give it their best shot and make it difficult for us.

 

With the game against Hitchin on Tuesday it'll be interesting to see how we rotate the squad.

[GlenSTFC]

The next 2 are certainly winnable and need to be if we want to keep in touch with top place. 1 or 2 no doubt will be rotated but it will depend on form and any niggles.

[David Carpenter]

I think I've read it right - the backers wanted to do similar to Worcester City and move Dunstable down to Level 5 in the hope of making it more financially sustainable. The hardcore supporters led by the guy who writes the match reports on their forum rejected this and have taken over the running of the club. Hence the budget is now greatly diminished and the players accordingly

We really should win this one. Dunstable have lost to every team they have faced this season.

[GlenSTFC]

Just read they've signed an England U19 goalkeeper on loan from Swindon (he's already played in their first team and is highly rated) and will be playing tomorrow. Good news for them possibly not for us!

[GlenSTFC]

They did draw with Royston which was a surprise result.

Wrong

[staines_rebel_Jr]

Wrong

 

it is right actually!!!

[Matt]

Technically factually correct as they have also faced Royston in the FA Cup, and lost on that occasion.

[Windsor Rebel]

Matt and Junior Staines rebel are correct, even though they drew in the league with Royston.

[GlenSTFC]

How is the draw v Royston a loss???

[Windsor Rebel]

Because he didnt say they have lost every game, he said they have lost to every team they faced (and drawn one of course)

[Reading Rebel]

'We should win'  If only football was as simple as that.
