Safety now secured

[Gate Watcher]

Unless Northwood in the Southern league win their remaining 2 games, we lose both of ours heavily, and there is a 25 goal shift or thereabouts between us and them.

[seasidesteve]

spot on gate we are safe but theres no reason why we shouldnt win the last 2 games

[geoff pay]

correct breath a sigh of relief

[Margate Martian]

yep a huge 1 at that but i would still expect us to beat leyton and hendon.

[blueblood]

If charlie is not fit and paul Egan cannot play who is in goal to keep out the balls. The loan window is closed. Unless we have Darren Bechet on our books we are stuffed in this department. The only hope maybe would be an appeal to the league. Just a thought.

[Chris1]

The league will allow an exception for a team without a fit keeper.

[MargateFan]

Well, let's hope Charlie is not as badly injured as it looks and can recover in a week.

Real shame as he has been playing as good as I have ever seen him the last few games.

[Boney Crisp]

What we need next season is a goalkeeper that doesnt have back problems or gets injured. Mitten went similarly to the ETU's keeper went when playing for us. Lets hope its not as bad.

[Cookie]

Looks like we are indeed safe now.Thanks GW for that.Eases things a lot for us all now then.A valuable point "gained" today after all

[Boney Crisp]

I do believe we are safe, but if we cant get a goalkeeper how many goals is our outfeild player replacing Charlie going to concede and if Northwood and Hendon win their remaining games are we going to have a better goal difference if our replacement goalie lets in about 10 goals a game. Thats me fearing the worse.

[Cookie]

Even I wouldnt concede that many! We're safe!!

Can I put a mortgage on it?

[Paul H]

I'll play. Sunday league keeper's gotta be better than none at all. He He. Anyway joking apart if you remember the dover friendly, my brother was sub keeper, guess Kinnear should have tried him!

[Hendonboy]

Please roll over and die for us the way Leyton did today <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

 

Seriously tho, if Leyton play even remotely like they did today, you'll have no problems beating them. Even Redbridge might have managed a win. As for us, I wouldn't like to predict. Hopefully we'll be safe already, but if not I hope we actually put in one of our decent performances!

[Boney Crisp]

I think Hendon will stay up and Northwood will go down. Congratulations on you good win today even though it did not make relegation for us this season an impossibility.

[Gate Watcher]

After your excellent result today Hendonboy and from hearing that Leyton have now crumbled we could be in for a bit of fun next week if our lads put in a good performance. Retribution is needed for their 1-0 smash and grab at Hartsdown and their celebration at the final whistle like they had won the world cup.

[Boney Crisp]

There celebration at that game still shows that people still see us as a big non-league team and that teams still take us seriously. Sadly i am going to miss the game next week but will be on here watching the updates. It will be the first away game i have missed since Maldon away and i was only planning to go to a couple of away games this season.

[Hendonboy]

Well... forgive us if we react like that should we take three points on the last day of the season. I promise it'll be because of what the points mean rather than who we beat!! That said, I won't actually be around. University being in Wales makes trips a bit difficult during term time.

 

Leyton appeared especially weak down their left side at the back today, so it might be worth feeding that back to your coaching staff. Enjoy next week's game.
