Heck, this is getting embarrassing now!!! A 3-1 away defeat to . . . Braintree, those giants of the Blue Square Premier. And it’s more so as the realisation sinks home that we’re just an average team in this league, with more chance of relegation than promotion. Where to now for the team and the club?
It’s not just bad for Darlo, it’s having a knock-on effect for all managers, too. No-one (in their right mind) predicted a 3-1 defeat and so it proved and only a smattering got this home win. So points are as rare as hen’s teeth and rocking horse poop combined.
Those who scored three points: Dan and Jean, Dan Duryea, Elaine Battison, Graham Wakeling, Humphrey Bogart, James Houghton, James McNaughton, Jeff Maughan, Paul Dickson, Paul Robinson, Russell Jones 1, Stephen Gawthrop, Stephen Lander, Steve Duffy 1, Steve Duffy 2, Stewart Hoy, Terence Sadler, Toby Corum 2, Will Caslon, Will Caxton.

It was always the hope that a manager would break through the 200-point barrier when winning the title . . . at this rate we’ll be lucky to break 100 . . . such are the scores we’re seeing and those very reasonable pre-season expectations now being dashed.
There’s not much change in the league tables and next week sees our annual foray into the FA Cup with a qualifying game against Hinckley. Let’s hope for some cup cheer.
