Now Yeovil are miles ahead... Maidstone are big news we will be lucky to claim 5th Spot at best! Yes, Maidstone may not just be big news if they plough their FA Cup income into their team to cement their playoff ambitions (although, having seen the highlights of the Ipswich match I don't think thei...

Look the other way and we're just nine points above Truro (in the drop zone) and they have a game in hand on us

Yeovil finding it tough too

This is really good news, I was impressed with him last season and remember one goal in particular when he cut in from the right and completely lost his marker with a lovely feint to open up the space for the shot.

I disagree, it actually gives both team an opportunity to play under forced circumstances that they will encounter in a full season and learn from it.

Cause and effect, who signed the players?

Well, we went down with all guns blazing and I'm still proudly wearing my TU shirt as I type this. One little aside, hats off to their keeper Foster who took time out just before the second half started to allow youngsters from the Family Stand to take selfies with him. Well done that man. I can't a...

Am I reading too much into the statement as George and Mel get a mention by name but GJ doesn't.

I just can’t see Maidenhead picking up a win! But it’s a funny old game.. I hope you are right about Maidenhead, if you are, our win there the other day will have proved to be absolutely priceless. However, there is nothing funny about the game for me at the moment! My emotions, which were just abo...

I was in line with their last man in the build up and I'm fairly sure it wasn't offside, but as you state, who cares, the goal (which was a peach) was given.

Mystified! we play horrific hoof-ball for 80min with Halstead majestically taking aimless long punts up the pitch. Then in 80min for reason still unfathomable to me Halstead having retrieved the ball from a chaotic melee in our box decides to play ball to feet to one yellow shirt who is outnumbered...

Even the Dorking commentator on their highlights didn't see that as a card for Evans.

I see from the club website that there was a TU presence at the unveiling of a replacement gate plaque at KGV playing fields yesterday. The fields (and those further up the hill at Easterbrook Lane) have a place in my heart as my childhood bedroom window in Halsteads Road looked straight across the ...

I'm not hiding away from our first half defensive frailty but, having just seen the highlights, they just about sum up how one sided it was at times. There was a clear foul on Aguiar in the build up for their first and we should have had a second penalty late on when a shot from Jervis hit a very ou...

As an aside, Jack Bycroft, their keeper, was quite a character. I had a bit of banter with him during a long stoppage in the second half (not for the penalty when he was in Jervis's ear all the time the wait went on while their dying swan managed to avoid getting a card for deliberate handball by wr...
