Re: Welling away on Tuesday

Interesting comments from Mel about a game of two halves. Looks like we are getting short of midfield players. Wonder if we will look at replacements. We have a lot of home games to come, wins are needed to keep us in the playoffs. Agree with the other comments, in that long run of avoiding defeats...

Re: Also at Hartlepool..

I think we can count Brian as a Hampton legend can't we? A very decent player, and didn't he indirectly help us with going up from the Isthmian div 2 by scoring a goal for Egham in their home game against Banstead (our promotion rivals that season) which meant Egham won, allowing us to sneak a prom...

Re: Braintree away

Watching via the livestream. Poor performance from us in the first half and Braintree are a very ordinary side indeed. Considerable improvement needed if we're going to make a comeback in this game.

Re: 12 Months on.

The concern for me is the mention of EFL, championship, premiership and champions league!! ....it is delusional. EFL at absolute stretch because the likes of Sutton and Harrogate and Salford have achieved it but that would take a near miracle and a new stadium being built to make it happen. My conc...

Re: Half Time

Good write ups and many valid points raised. I can see us making the playoffs at the end of the season but before then it'll be interesting to see how we react if/when we lose a league game. Plus, I do think we need a bit more competition up front, or someone to step in if Seymour gets injured. Mel ...
