One thing that struck me after reading the FGR and H&Y boards is that both sets of fans seemed fairly livid with how badly their teams played against us. And I didn't see a single compliment in our favour.
We, on the other hand, have been waxing lyrical about how great we've been playing.
So which is it?
Is it that we're playing so well now that we're making them look poor? Or is it that both teams have had bad performances when they came up against us?

I think the latter case would be something of a coincidence, as I browsed through their boards prior to both games and the feeling seemed to be that they were playing very very well and, as we know, both had been picking up some good results to back this up.
So was it a coincidence that they both had their bad (maybe worst) performances on the day they played us?
Or maybe they've seen our league position and the Braintree result etc. and figured we are a poor side this season who they should've done much better against (oh the irony!)?

I suppose there's no way of knowing for rsure whether it was us or them, but what do you think? It's obviously a very important question as if it was them playing especially poorly it could mean that the last 2 results will turn out to've been a bit of a false dawn. Personally I don't think it is though, I have to say. But then look at the predictions league thread and you'll see I know naff all about footy

That's just what I was hoping Ponny. Maybe as I said it's just that their fans were expecting better cos of where we are?
Usually oppostion fans give credit when it's due, in amongst the obvious bias. But there just wasn't any.

Of course sometimes a team can play so well, they make the other team play and/or look poor.


I remember being pelted with ice by the Norwich fans during the Milk Cup match, do you?
