Agree its worrying as we normally have a more positive start to the season, with a drop off in form during winter and late season recovery. However, the fixture list has given us some very difficult opponents to start with and we haven't (yet?) been on the rough end of several thrashings. The proof of the pudding will come when we play more of those teams we would expect to find ourselves amongst in the mid-bottom half of the table

We've not even played Walton and Hersham yet so not sure how that's relevant, although they're top of the southern prem at the moment so will be very tough. Enfield, though, was definitely the worst result of the season so far and justifies everyone's concern over the start of the season.

Out of our first 9 games, only 2 (Slough and Enfield) were against teams currently in the bottom half, and they were both away from home, so agree the first few fixtures were clearly very tough but that doesn't excuse getting just 5 points from them. 

Next 3 league games are all very winnable. Need to start picking up points soon or we'll end up with a widening gap to safety. Yes, the league has got tougher, but I would still think our squad to has the quality to stay up, hopefully they start to show it soon.
