Isthmian 2014/15

[Lurchin Urchin]

He's at Hampton & Richmond Borough now... dunno if they do post match interviews though.

All the more reason to get those Hampton fans back. I failed with Lewes BTW - looks like I've been removed.

 

[Silver Stone]

Well that was.... not good enough. 3-0 was flattering but we got what we deserved. Bricknell and Collin can work as a partnership but not if you're lobbing high balls up to them, Christ. Just a bad day at the office, hopefully.

 

[Paddy]

Lost 3:1 at Hendon (well, Harrow)... the only positive I can think of is that we won the second half 1:0.

Not really done our play off hopes the world of good, now sitting 8 points behind the coveted 5th place spot (which is currently occupied by Not Police who have 2 games in hand over us)

 

[publeaguelegend]

That hoofball. Was painful to watch. Enfield good value for the win. Big game away to Bury Tuesday, back to winning ways please.

 

[Anon]

Maidstone slip up and we lose too. Repeat what I've been thinking the last few weeks, we're good enough to stay up there but not quite consistent enough to take advantage.

 

[rudebwoyben]

A good weekend for Hendon and Fingate then!
How come the NotPolice are so impregnable at home?

 

[Paddy]

The passionate & hostile atmosphere the home fans put on, clearly.

 

[rudebwoyben]

Threatening opposition players with the nick.

 

[Aberstone]

Since when has Charlie Penny been at K's? I'd have him back here.

 

[Paddy]

Since Saturday

I was thinking the same when I saw his name. Surprised a Conference South side didnt take the gamble on him.

 

[Paddy]

Well, the man in question scored in his 2nd game with us. Smushed Lewes 3:0 at Kingsmeadow & move to 5 points off 5th place.

Maidstone behind at Basement club Bury Town. Whats happening? Where has it gone wrong?

Now 1-1.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Haha 2-1 to the Stones now.

 

[Silver Stone]

A: Thank you for the reverse jinx, much appreciated.

B: The injury to Alex Flisher has seriously cut our creativity and a large source of goals.

C: Mostly we've still been okay, except when Jay has us hoofing the ball up to a pair of strikers who prefer it to feet.

Tight win vs Enfield to keep pressure on Margate. We're sound defensively, midfield is our strongest area but we've not had a consistent goal threat from any of the strikers this season. Serge Makofo made his first start and may have scored the winner (FB feed said Makofo, FWPs says Forbes).

 

[Riverside64]

So, it's home to Vickers, Crayford and Dartford Athletic this weekend. If we can manage to beat those 3 and the 'Gate dispatch Witham we'll be out the bottom 4. A slim chance, but nevertheless a chance.

Silver Stone has covered it. Certainly missing the Fleeeshurrr.

Huke has been ruled out for the rest of the season and with Simpson away on trial at Wolves leaves us looking thin at the back again. On the plus side Jay May should make a return this weekend.

The win was 'tight' in terms of scoreline, but we really should have won by 3 or 4 goals. the same was true against Leiston the other week where we managed to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory! Our biggest problem is turing domination into goals. Hopefully the new loan signing form Whitehawk, Serge Makofo, will help us in this respect, as Harry Ottaway is still nowhere near fit enough to be playing 90 minutes on a regular basis. The 1-0 loss at Hampton on Saturday was disappointing, but again we were the better side and it was on an absolute pudding of pitch that didn't help our passing game at all. Hampton's pitch must be just about the worst in this division.

I've found the forum! Many thanks to Paddy for contacting me on the Dulwich forum about this!

Nice one, one more lost TFF tribesman returns

You just wait

No worries

It's a chain of events... Cardsfan got me & PP from our forum, I got you from your forum... you've now got to go on the hunt for someone missing. Geographically speaking from Woking to Kingston to Dulwich, you should probably be getting us that Grays fan that used to post on TFF.

I think you need to ask Grimsby Town fans about Serge Makofo..

 

[Silver Stone]

Oh that's a good win. 1-0 at Kingston. I wasn't there so I've no idea how it went, but I'd have probably taken a draw beforehand.

Good work Mr R.

Nice little last minute winner there for the 'gate so I think it's a confirmed case of ... " We are staying up, I say We are staying up", or however that ditty goes. (Yes I know it's still January).

Impressive crowd at Dulwich again - can you lend us a few?

Just over 1000. I wasn't there, but that # was despite it being a pissy day of rain as well. Shame about Margate's last minute winner...

I also would have been happy with a point here but a home defeat to Maidstone is at least easier to take then a home defeat against VCD Athletic.

Correct! We obviously mullered VCD today (you weren't there so know no different!)- and we also won at their place where they were truly terrible... But these are the games we/you need to win - anything against that damnable Kentish hegemony would be a welcome bonus. Just don't mention Bury Town; the Urchin nemesis.
