I wish I'd saved my money, the only interest is the transporting opportunity, another pathetic performance, gutless.

I totally agree, we have matched the Liverpool slide since Christmas (both teams won seven goal thrillers then the rot set in) and my half full cup is now half empty.

p.s. Refilling the cup, let's turn the situation on its head. So, if we had arrived in last night's new table position from the other direction we'd all be jumping with joy.

Yes in a day of gloom a ray of light,

we're still TOP

...maybe only for a couple more days but 'hope springs eternal'

Some of the wheels came off after Christmas!

I haven't seen anything myself on the Dover situation but it will have to be resolved somehow. Wipe the slate clean and, notionally, Sutton are already clear by two points but with just one game in hand (they haven't played Dover yet).

The alternative is that teams are given a walk over for unfulfilled fixtures with Dover but the end result is the same, we lose 3 points against Sutton (and, for that matter, Notts County) but they 'use up' a game in hand.

Perhaps then the pressure will get to Sutton as everybody will be sniping for them rather than us.

Sorry but no. We have the reckoning of Dover results to be resolved and that will probably cost us 3 points so mathematically the best we can do is get to the play offs if Sutton win all their remaining matches.

Not bad odds after this evening.

Yes, you are wrong!

Whether we agree or not, the ball was given out of play for a corner and the referee had clearly blown his whistle for that corner before Mac kicked it into row Z or the Grand Union Canal. In answer to yeovilgull, he had scrambled the ball back into play but the (unseen) linesman must have flagged and the referee quickly blew his whistle (which, by the way, probably came from just down the road https://www.acmewhistles.co.uk/whistles ... -thunderer ).

He 'kicked the ball away', that was why he was booked.

Are you fishing for an answer?

.......Reguarding the Solihull goal, our sub goalie dived so late.....

He's only played five minutes for us and he's already getting criticised! He didn't have a chance, the ball fell to a Solihull player a couple of yards out.

We won, we were a different team from Saturday so 'hope springs eternal', we may have to beat Sutton away though.

let's change the ineffectual Waters!

The ref,

Normal to blame the ref when we lose but I actually thought he was ok.

What was the red card for? It looked like a straight red too.

Not so, we were all over them after their goal and could have scored any number of times but didn't get the rub of the green.

Tonight we were ominously poor and only had one shot on target in the second half and that was straight into the keeper's midriff. We're still waiting for Street to click into gear but we can't wait much longer.

We go again on Saturday in a meaningless match (meaningless for me anyway) so we have a chance to sort ourselves out (and we're still nine points clear).
