I was doing my best to be optimistic for a change!

I think that we have to accept this season as a learning curve. Now if we do not do a Wealdstone next season then the fun begins..

It's weird the way the other games keep going in our favour. The way we've played recently, especially away, we should have dropped out of the top 5 weeks ago, but here we are still hanging on to 3rd place. An unexpected lifeline - but one which we have so far spectacularly failed to grasp! But, if only we can convert tonight's better performance into actual wins, especially against Bognor, we could still just make the play-offs. But we do HAVE to start winning. We can't expect this unintended generosity to last - if we lose again, it would only take the two teams below us to win just once to knock us down to 5th, and then Kingstonian or Lowestoft could easily complete the job. With the exception of Bognor, all our other opponents are in the bottom half of the table - so, even if we fail to beat Bognor, surely it's within our ability to win all our other remaining games? And that has not been our forte this season either, we struggle against the lower sides more than against the good ones... The top 6 (if we are taken out) are Wealdstone, Dulwich. Bognor, Hornchurch, Kingstonian, Lowestoft. In 11 games we have taken 17 points or 1.55 points per game. The bottom six are Cray, Carshalton, Thamesmead, Enfield, East Thurrock, Wingate and Finchley. In 10 games we have taken 24 points or 2.4 points per game. Please explain your definition of struggling, particulaerly as the post you replied to was looking at results. Warm Redards
