Bad day at the office. But there were good points - and a great quiz question from one of our superfans; “is this the only time Hoddle, Rush and Fowler scored in a single game?” - I have to admit I don’t know but suspect I’ll burn some midnight oil trying to find out. Otherwise Rush was very impressive upfront and it was great to see him on the scoresheet. Harry was on too late to tuck one away but got very, very close - and arriving at the ground today we got the warmest, friendliest reception of the season so far. The St Albans stadium is not worthy of the name but the food bars are some of the best. This is the first away game where we felt welcome, as we should - but very rarely do. Always looked forward to the away game at St Albans, one of the better days out, not so good if the team come away with nothing though. You'll be up at the business end at the end of the season, you can't win them all.

Refreshing to read that George admits we were set up all wrong from minute one and that our players were just not good enough on the day. When Mr motivator himself says we were poor at times then it justifies my earlier comments. It is though just a tiny blip and other results mean we lost no ground really. Three points on Tues and we ar back in 2nd place.

You might have to enter the new millennium, swordy I had my top up debit card but no facility to top it up and I wasn't hobbling all the way down to the city centre to do so. How did you get in? Saw you in the pub, by the way (we couldn't get a table, so left) and they seemed quite happy to take cash!

From this moment on, preparing for the FA Cup is top priority. Can't really agree with this, I'm afraid. We might get lucky or pull an A* performance out of nowehere, but more likely Barrow (and Barnet) are going to end our Cup hopes early this season. No cash bonanza for us this year. But, even if we do have a bit of Cup success, ultimately it's always going to be the league that counts. Despite the excellent recovery George has given us, there's no guarantee we'll end up in the play-offs, and that's the least we should be aiming for this season.

Saw you in the pub, by the way (we couldn't get a table, so left) and they seemed quite happy to take cash! I bought the ticket on line as I have the Tonbridge ticket . Saturday would not have been a problem had I any funds in my account to transfer to my card but all of my money was in my wallet. This not taking of cash is just all wrong. As for the pub it was rather busy even I had to share someone else's table but I was not impressed with £6.10 for a pint.
