Sleeping Giant

[Mark (Flag) Braintree]

Read your predictions with interest but a sleeping giant in this division never gets a mention, not been in contention either.

 

Basildon Utd.

 

After tasting Ryman football, you would think they would / should be competing for the honours, whats up at Bas Utd.

I dont know

 

It looked like they were going to be serious challengers at the start of last season but seemed to fall away a bit after a while.

 

I seem to remember something about manager/ Players leaving cant really recall now.

 

Nice club felt always welcome there when I went.

It holds good memories for me as each time I have been there ETFC have won

Though I am sure that wont always be the case.

John Bennett....familiar to alot of people around the non league game in Essex is the new manager, therefore expect to be up against a motivated decent side.

In my opinion not good enough to win the league but will certainly make it difficult for many sides.

Ok cheers foxy

 

Well I look forward to us playing them.

 

all the best

You too Cue Ball....

 

Good Luck mate

That depends if he hangs around long enough, Foxy. I've lost track of how many clubs he's walked out on. I particularly remember the Aveley v Ilford FA Vase tie when he resigned at the end of 90 minutes and Ilford went on to beat them in extra time!

LOL....Speaking to John sometime after he deeply regretted that incident...however we are all aware of how many clubs he's been at....

In the meantime.....whilst in charge at Basildon...expect a very tough game...
