Another tough game, made even tougher given the circumstances.

  Hoping Thompson,  Hannigan, Hampson and Mooney are available.

Alty 2-2 BW.

I'd be over the moon with a draw but I can't see it being a high scoring one.
If defenders are back and don't have ring rust we've got a chance but Parky may save them for Tuesday.
I'd settle for a clean sheet.

I'll be very disappointed if we only attract 1000 bodies for this one.  I'm going for a moral-building 3-1 win watched by 1650.  They will struggle to bring enough to fill a 12-seater minibus.  They will have more flags than fans in the Chequers end (If it is allowed to be open).

They actually brought a full sized coach. Having seen them this afternoon I understand why they don't get big gates. Dirty team, no flair whatsoever. A point was all they deserved.

A very big strong powerful / physical team as proved by their goal.
Fyfield is a monster.
We played the football and maybe deserved more. If you'd asked at 2.45 though I'd have taken a point

A very good point in what could loosely be described as a 'football' match.
I've had a bad week, so it would have cheered me up to meet a Boringwood season ticket holder  ;D
Kosy and Senior had a good go at them all afternoon - we at least tried to win.
Jake was fabulous and a deserving motm winner.
Can't wait to watch a game of football on Tuesday.

I thought a draw was fair. They took their chance. We had loads and took one.

it's still back to that point of if we had a 25 a year forward we would be top 3 . I thought we edged it . But was very close as you say

Absolutely but we are where we are. We certainly looked more than a match for a team that was top of the league. Perhaps we are impatient and need to go full time to get that striker. In the mean time our existing centre forwards are keeping their defenders busy which provides the opportunities for others.

Boringwood came for, and got the point they wanted.
Their back four are more akin to wrestlers than footballers.
The ref wanted to be the centre of attention and spoilt the game .
Overall a good point for us against the team that was in top spot at 3-00pm
They won’t be top after the last games of the season.

Let’s hope we see off Gateshead on Tuesday and then we can have a bloody good go at Charlton.

Onwards and Upwards.

I really enjoyed the game, it was a real contrast of styles and both had their periods of the game when they were effective. We really had them in trouble straight after the equaliser but unfortunately couldn’t find a way through.

The defence had to work incredibly hard and apart from the goal they coped magnificently.  Not sure what the problem was with Hannigan just hoping he’s it for Tuesday.

I forgot to add that their no. 9 was absolutely sh*te, should have been hooked at half time.
