Harringey 1 v Hornchurch POOR

[LukeXIX]

Title says it all. I made more of an effort to get to the game today with the train strikes than some did on the pitch. Serious wake up needed. Enough said.

These are the sort of games we need 3 points from. Lucky to get a draw. Come on Hornchurch, we’re better than that. Great effort from the home side

Played poor, deserved nothing. That point could be massive, it basically equals 4 points with our GD. We really need Higgo and Nash back. I expected Haringey to be open and expansive, they were nothing like that. Must win at home against Margate. Aveley are a real threat, 10 games unbeaten, 9 wins out of them 10, they seem like more a threat than Stortford right now.

As the great poet W H Auden might have said

Win at home, draw away, if you want to win the league that's the way.

Of course it wasn't the best we've seen but I can't agree with the comments about lack of effort. You don't equalise in 90+ if you're not trying but poor quality today.

Speaking with Haringey Borough fans after the game a draw was more than they were expecting, losing by just 1 goal would have been a result for them.

There are 21 teams in this league who would give an arm and a leg to get a draw away and still be 3 points clear with a game in hand. And then think about goal difference, we're at+47 and the next closest team is+28. We can lose every remaining game 0-2 and still have the best goal difference.

From a different perspective Wingate & Finchley had a lower attendance today than Tuesday night. Stay strong, stay proud and keep believing.

Really hope we manage to get promoted this season just so that I don't have to travel to this ground again. The A406 is a complete car park and it took me over 2 and a half hours to get there.

Don't think it was the lack of effort from the guys but I think we just seemed to be missing the guile to get past the team. They have a very experienced manager (as he told me, hinting about probably outlasting a manager from a bigger club down the road!!!) so probably got the best out of their team in terms of setup.  I'm sure we'll be fine but we've worked so hard to get on top so games like that are frustrating.

[cup of tea]

Don't get me wrong though, we can't afford too many performances like that.
