losing 2-0 at home to Weymouth last night.

I hate it (HATE IT) when in form teams we are about to play suffer an unxepected defeat just before they play us.

Any sense of capitalising on their complacency (after all they should be beating teams like us) goes out the window and refocuses their minds.

And notice how the Weymouth players respond somewhat differently to not being paid compared to our green neighbours:
1) they go out and win a game
2) they effectively back the club into a corner about paying their unpaid wages

Show some spine, Vics slime!

Yes, they've had their slip up/ wake-up call and it will make it a lot more difficult for the lads to get a result down there at the weekend ... but, with the Supers, you just never know. (He says hopefully)  ::)

Ah, local knowledge!  But certainly fact based.
