Still a doubter and by all accounts we were excrement again tonight against a part time team crippled with injuries, hope I'm proved wrong but I've not seen anything to make me think we will be getting promotion.

Appreciate your point based on all tonight's reports. Suppose I'm looking at it down the "if we can win when we're not 100% flying, where will we be if/when it all comes together" type thingy. Perhaps it was all about the result tonight or you'll never see classic football at Braintree.

There are 27 games to go so it's a bit early to debate the finer points of the table.
Let's just enjoy being second. A great run of results and three games without conceding a goal.
We were in the bottom half a few weeks back. We aren't now.

Odd - don't trust '****' Barton. I replied 30 minutes ago that I thought Doug Livermore scored for Norwich and Stewart Gray equalised for Grimsby and my memory (bizarrely) was from the Osmond Stand and when I posted this - 'Dear male private' headed this, which I had not written. So I deleted it.
Let's se what happens this time.
Not quite sure what you mean mate. As I mentioned I am new to this. I was behind the goal in the pontoon stand. didn't see much of the game tbh but the atmosphere was fantastic.

I still am a doubter going on past experiences.. ok form has turned around we've won several on the bounce yes we are now second but let's not forget September 1st 2001(the same day when England beat Germany 5-1 on their own turf) when we climbed to the dizzy heights of 1st position of what is now the championship and where we ended up in the league.... RELEGATED!!! so let's calm down with "we're second " let's see how the ground lies when the games played are even....

Halifax's game in hand is against FGR so they both can't pass us (by which time the table could be completely different anyway) (Christ, I can't believe I checked fixtures for 4 weeks time)
Don't forget aswell, FGR have pending 3 point deduction too

Why must we have this "I told you we were right" gloating after every win or loss? It's getting so tedious!!!
I have been a middle of the road man myself, not a known blind backer of Hurst in the recent past but also willing to give him every chance to succeed, I am well pleased with last nights effort and points at tricky Braintree but have my feet firmly on the ground regarding our position in the league at the moment. I still believe that with a bit of luck and a fair wind this team and manager can do something special this season.UTM

We didn't get relegated that year. Year after I think 2002-03.

Without a doubt we are going to have ups and downs throughout the season. Ideally people will not go overboard when we lose or get ahead of themselves when we win.
For me, the performances arent a million miles better than at any other times but simply the ball is going in the net at one end and we are keeping them out at the other. Just shows that peoples anger/joy are very much results dependent.
Like many others i do feel the team and squad are much stronger than last season. I found in a coat pocket the other day the team sheet for the away Trophy semi at Cambridge. The current team are far better than the side that day.
Long may it continue
