No expectations for us tomorrow all the pressure on Dartford, 1 all draw for me.

Reg, are you serious! All the pressure on Dartford. In bottom 4 no pressure on us really. Looked at our league results so far this season at the results against teams you mentioned in a previous posting you said we would finish above out of 8 games we managed 2 wins and a draw albeit only 3 were home games. Not all inspiring. In my opinion the only way we will avoid relegation is for our new strikers to quickly form a good understanding and start scoring the goals we badly need ( looking at the league table goals for column now worst in league). All season we have relied on a strong defence and a defensive style of play. Whilst Will Richards,Will Tizzard and Spencer Hamilton in particular have been excellent all season as Braintree showed occasionally we can’t expect faultless performances every week.
All l can say Reg l hope your relegation predictions are better than your match predictions. Hopefully as you haven’t predicted your usual win we might get a more positive result tomorrow!

I have to agree with Joiner on this subject. Taking the performance against Braintree last Saturday as an indication of how the remainder of our season will pan out. Putting it bluntly we created very little against Braintree. Watching our guys trotting out, it was like looking at the 7 dwarfs plus 4 others against a team of giants. Why oh why does Horgs go for little guys, when he knows this league is about physicality? As for tomorrow’s game, we can only hope for a miracle and salvage a point at best I think. We are now in the bottom three, which is a massive worry. Games in hand mean nothing if you don’t win them ! With Ebbsfleet also looming up next, in my opinion it will be a long remaining few months of the season.

I actually agree with Reg on this.
There's no pressure on us tomorrow, all on them with their promotion chase. Whilst we're not going to roll over and give them the 3 points I do think we have to pick up points in other games, not this game or Ebbsfleet.
The games we should be picking up points in, like Cheshunt away, Taunton away we've managed to throw away, it's important to win the reverse fixtures this year.

Dartford have today signed Oxford City keeper Ben Dudzinski who has already faced us twice this season.

Regarding pressure surely both teams are under a certain amount, what with being towards opposite ends of the table? Since being in this league we have performed better against the top teams, so maybe the next two games might throw up some unexpected points? COYB

I bet you're good in a crisis!!
Braintree have a very good defensive record, we did ok but got bullied (our big players, not the little ones). Wondering where these big players that are fit enough, technically good enough for the level (while operating within our budget) live? Do you grow some in your back garden?
For long ball Football then head to BA1 - Bath fans are loving life
As for tomorrow, we have a good record against teams near the top and Dartford as well. Good pitch that will suit us too. 2-1 Chippenham.
And Weymouth are winning away, that puts us second bottom

Plenty of time in the game and in the season.
We're not going down and neither are Blackpool
