Missed 2 buses so didn't get into the ground until after 8 minutes after kick-off, I was right peed off.
Was I happy I got there in the end.
Oh yes, UTM.

CHAMPIONS, well it's not the end of the season. But it's nice to have that feeling. Who wanted Hurst out and Waterfall sent out on loan, time to eat your words.
Banana skin at Bromley, but you have to appreciate that they play all their home games on a plastic pitch and we don't, neither do many of the teams in this league. 6 goals today and 11 scorers now but some still think we're desperate for a No 9!
And then there is the forgotten army who weren't allowed in for months. Home and away the town fans have been brilliant, not only fortress BP but away from home, they make themselves known to the team. I don't think any team will fancy playing at BP this year.
At last, we don't have a team, we don't have supporters, what we have is something far more important than all of that. What we have after several years of decline is the rise of the club, a phoenix if you like. A club rising from the gutter, showing what can happen when all pull together. 1878, Trust, management, players, and especially the fans all pulling together.
The futures looking good.

I was on a bus loaded with town fans!
What on earth is going on.
Great atmosphere at the ground, love the fanzone (credit to all involved with it) and a 😀6-0 win. Happy days

Taylor is so good and McAtee's cross for his second was glorious.

That was a great experience. No single player can be singled out for not giving their all in my view, although I could hear a few moans about LJL. In truth of course there were some mistakes, a few stray balls here and there, but this is a squad/team that looks like they think they can play at a higher level than this, so that's what they try and do....and in my view they are not wrong. I saw Luke Waterfall talking with Alex Hunt before the 6th goal, they planned exactly what was going to happen, and just now on RH he basically said as much. Sousa was electric when he came on, sides don't know what to do with apart from hack him down. I feel for McAttee, that was a decent penalty and a very lucky save, but you could see the joy on his face after scoring. I thought Sears had a really good game, solid..he's not Efete, he doesn't run forward often, but I saw some good passing and communication and a commitment to winning the ball. Towler, Crookes both immense, Fox, brilliant, Taylor, fantastic, Bapaga, great for the lad he got his goal. Wonderful performance, a great victory/bounce-back and a clean sheet. Thank you. UTM

I’d agree with all of that apart from needing a striker. Lenny isn’t of Taylor’s level and we need a better option off the bench. For the game itself, hard to pick a stand out but was very impressed with Sears to say he hasn’t even been in a match day squad

I'm not eloquent enough to sum up how good the boys were today, the only thing I will say is.. when you've got a striker of Taylor's quality, the game is a hell of a lot easier.
Has to be said, the way Dover set up in the first half was absolute suicide, the wingers has zero interesting defending and the 2 Central Midfielders were non existent. There 2 centre halves and left back looked probably the worst footballers i've ever seen (not including some who've played for us in recent times) but they were left high and dry by the midfield.
UTFM!!

First off, credit to Dover for not parking the bus or getting up to the usual tricks some sides adopt, but they were blown away by a far superior side. I'm serious when I say that I could have kept goal for Town today, such was their threat.
So were we magnificent, or were they terrible? Somewhere in between I would suggest and we will have much harder games. From the showing today, Dover would struggle to hold their own in the NLS.
We waltzed through them with such ease and so frequently, that had we kept up the tempo second half, we could have had 10, but we understandably took our foot off the gas second half, coupled with taking off the two who were causing them the most damage.
Hunt's corners are a thing of beauty and Waterfall could get double figures this season if that partnership keep it up. Bapaga had a much better game and became our 11th different scorer this season ( I think anyway, It's hard to keep up) with a smart finish on his weaker foot. They were terrified to go near him.
Good performances all over the pitch and the new lad at right back slotted in seamlessly.
Dover were weak as p1ss but you have to put the bad teams to bed. Two tough away games coming up against sides that are in good form, so let's see how we fare in those.
