I think it was
Alan Hansen who said,
"you've got to be great to rotate". Unfortunately, we're NOT great and by fielding a Reserve team against Carshalton, I threw away our unbeaten record which would now be at 13 games were it not for that abomination.
Still, at least we went unbeaten in the league for a 2nd successive month, which now sees us in the playoff position of 4th. Dorchester and Crawley seem to be running away with it though as they have only lost 1 game between them all season, and not drawn too many either.

On the plus side, we're looking pretty good at the moment despite suffering a bit of an injury crisis.
I think the reason that we are coping is that the goals seem to be shared pretty well throughout the squad.

It's not all good news though, as rumours persist about the ownership of the club. There hasn't been any speculation as to my future, so I'm hopeful that if and when the takeover goes ahead, it won't affect me.
