Nationwide South 2005/6

[Nos]

Based on the various league positions as at Feb 19, the following would make up the Nationwide South next season, according to another.

Basingstoke Town

Bishop's Stortford

Bognor Regis Town

Braintree Town

Chippenham Town

Dorchester Town

Eastbourne Borough

Farnborough Town

Forest Green Rovers

Havant & Waterlooville

Hayes

Hornchurch

Lewes

Margate

Newport County

St Albans City

Sutton United

Thurrock

Welling United

Weston super Mare

Weymouth

Yeading

 

We would, therefore, lose Grays Athletic, Cambridge City, Carshalton Athletic, Maidenhead United and Redbridge but gain Forest Green Rovers, Farnborough Town, Yeading, Chippenham Town and Braintree Town.

 

Bedford Town would go into the Nationwide North and in the unlikely event that another southern team from the Nationwide Conference was relegated e.g. Gravesend or Canvey Island, the most northerly of the 22 teams above, Braintree Town, would also go into the Nationwide North.

 

Interesting.

That isn't that unlikely if we keep playing sh.t!!

Isn't Bishop's Stortford more northerly than Braintree?

[YELLOW]

I would put Newport in Conf South if that scenario happens!!

Forest Green! Can't wait!!

Will you be posing for a boy-band style photo down there like the "Yorkshire Branch" last time round?

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

No.

[Laz]

I didn't think you would. My post was really intended as a sick reminder of the back of the Observer last time. Where is Bellies these days?

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

That was a cracking photo - really summed it up.

 

There was a great article too, by Tim Hobbs. Not the match report, but another large piece that just summed up the day to a tee.

 

I still have my copy.

 

Happy (-ish) days.

[Laz]

Happier days, but I have a feeling we'll have a better next season. Maybe not a Trophy semi but I'd like to think we could be challenging in or around the playoffs next year.

Braintree is more northerly RTS but it is all a bit acadamic really. Either Canvey or Gravesend would have to suffer a severe points deduction or Leigh RMI would have to win something like 11 or 12 of their remaining 13 games.

Looking forward to Tuesday nights at Barrow already!

 

Forest Green who?

Looks interesting, would be good to get one over at forest green. If the manager tries to keep most of the quad and add a few new faces I think we should easily be pushing for a play off place at least!

If he'd been here since August we'd be in the play offs now!

Dear oh dear, mate. Surely you've been watching football long enough now to know that's not the case.

So Lippiat's won six of his last eight games in charge. Yes, it's a tremendous achievement all things considering, but let's not get carried away.

I mean, just a few weeks ago, Martin Jol, to use a familiar example, had won six of his last eight games, but it would be ludicrous to turn round and say "hey, if he'd been in charge of Spurs since August, we'd qualify for the Champions League", cos it simply wouldn't be true.

And Spurs' loss of form and subsequent results over the last four or five weeks have proved that.

The majority of managers will take their teams through a purple patch at one stage or another, particularly near the start of their reign when players are trying to impress and win places.

I'm not trying to belittle Colin Lippiat's achievements - the way he's turned things around is nothing short of remarkable - but let's not get carried away and come out with any more sweeping statements like yours.
