Magic! Only just got back from a day trip, and did everything except look at the result - we'd had a really good day and I didn't want the result to bring me down. Then I finally gave in, clicked on FWP, and... THREE POINTS! A win (and a clean sheet) at Concord is pretty bloody good going. Chelmsford are on the same points, and we have the home advantage, so, er, oh shit. Still (see what I did there?) we've got to break that home jinx some day... That'll be two jinxes we have to break then. I can only remember us beating Chelmsford once, in the FA cup. I think a second jinx works in reverse, nullifying the first. Plus, I won't be there, so that's another jinx removed. Easy win!

You remove the second jinx to cunningly lull your listeners into a false sense of security and then BAM !! ..... you open up a THIRD jinx to totally blow everything back into the deepest darkest water !! ๐ฎ and before anyone takes this post post at face value โโโ donโt, itโs all tongue in cheek.

Firstly I would like to give my heart felt thanks to pwoodstone for coming out of his way to pick me up and take me to Concord ,I very much appreciate it and thanks nws for the back up plan. Today as many of you will know was the celebration of my 500th new ground and despite the criticism of some of our supporters I found it a charming little ground. The clubhouse was lovely as was the beer,the chips ,not of the standard of our pie shop ,but edible all 5he same. The seats were free of charge so as I could rest my knackered legs during the game. The weather was superb and the huge cargo ship behind the goal on the first half was quite a sight. The game was a good one ,Concord are no mugs yet we controlled the majority of the first half. Khan looked good as did Edward's with his fast feet trickery and his lay off for no score Mclure to finish was a gem. Mclure took the goal well and could have had another when he thundered one against the bar. The midfield looked better today and the defence was rock solid and it had to be against their giant no.11. All in all a great result as predicted by me and a good team performance. Bring on the Clarets.COYS!

Whilst the team will probably admit that there is still work to be done you can see potential with what still and hakan are trying to achieve and that the players are also showing potential as well as improving.
Last season we would've lost that game, but we are building up a bit of resilience at the back, yeah rode our luck a couple of times, but deserved to come away with a clean sheet. Johnson was my motm for us so many important headed clearances.
I did get a little worried late on when we seemed to drop back and invite them on.
There were lots of positive passing plays, amongst our forwards and the goal well worked and a lovely finish from McClure who was unlucky not to add a second.
Felt the game could've been officiated a bit better so many whistles for nothing, slightest touch and whistle blown, made it very stop start especially first half before we scored.
Burgers were quite nice as well ๐ ๐๐

We may not be doing anything spectacular, but, on recent form, we are keeping clean sheets, coming back from a goal down to win, not conceding last minute goals - exactly what successful teams do.
Much more of this and no one's going to look forward to coming to JWW or having us visit.

Much more of this and no one's going to look forward to coming to JWW or having us visit. It's certainly impressive how we manage on the two fronts of keeping clean sheets and not conceding last minute goals...

Whatโs very positive, is varying posters have different MOTM. At least shows several players are sticking out. Couldnโt make it yesterday. How did Corne and Wishart perform?

Corne was ok, Wishart was MoM. Worried about Clovis, but Khan was very good, MoM. McClure seems to be class, defo MoM. Disappointed by Amaluzor who didn't get into the game, and doesn't know when to release the ball. Defence did well, Johnson MoM.

Having read some criticisms on here from the Slough game I was somewhat confused. If I was forced to pick a MOTM I would have gone for Khan but, in all honesty, the team played well as one. There were some real signs that as the understanding increases we could be treated to some lovely passing interchanges later in the season. It was so promising I am even turning up to two games running when I go to the Chelmo game tomorrow.

At least we have something interesting to follow on Saturday afternoon, because it certainly won't be the cricket. Oh ye of little faith, a 350 chase with wank hands Root and cant bat to save his life Roy will guide us home with 8 wickets to spare at around tea time on Sunday just in time to watch the Toon beat Spurs.๐ฉโ๐๐ฉโ๐๐ฉโ๐๐ฉโ๐ that weed is particularly strong tonight.๐ฉโ๐๐ฉโ๐๐ฉโ๐๐ฉโ๐ The Sword knows his cricket . Easy win, piece of piss ,thank you Ben Stokes utterly amazing.
