It was an intriguing and enjoyable session fo rme. We had seven fixtures in all due to two cup fixtures. I put all mt reserves and rejects into the Trophy ties and they gave their all with hime victories over Hayes ands Exeter. We're into the sixth round but they aren't interfereing with my league games.
Of the five league games four ended up 1-0 and one was a nine-goal thriller. We beat Gravesend, Woking and Dagenham, all mid-tabler sides 1-0 and finally went down 0-1 to high flying Farnborough, being mugged in the 92nd minute. I couldn't really resent that piece of misfortune as we were always under the cosh in the games we won, soakin gup a lot of pressure and relying on our own supergoalie on many occasions.
The game to remember was on a swamp in a gale at Morecambe. in the highest scoring game in the history of the Conference Morecambe ran out 5-4 victors; and there could easily have been twice as many goals! The conditions took their toll and I had five players out for the next game, in the dying minutes we missed two sitters as their defence was knackered and my forwards too tired to lift their legs.
So we're playing with spirit and just about keeping in touch with the play-off places although we're about 13th at the moment. We did lose our last game and we're losing players to injuries and fatigue on these heavy winter pitches but I'm still confident we can see off Graham in our next fixture
My main concern is that I seem to have inherited a nasty financial situation; short of winning a play-off final or the Trophy I can't see a way out of it so I might look to jump ship before too long (you've been warned boys!)
