It's more or less the halfway point. How do you feel things are going so far for you and your team? And looking down the other side of the hill, how does it look for the future half of the season? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Salisbury City.I feel we've sacrificed much League form to our Cup exploits - we're now into double figures for FA competition games. Which is fine. In hindsight, our encounter with Forest would almost be worth swapping if it meant relegation! Problem now is that we're going to have 2 games per week to the end of the season, maybe even 3 if the Trophy run continues... Also we've lost out on our gates by having Tuesday night games, which aren't well attended. Personally I still expect us to come on strong, like the proverbial outsider catching up with the leading pack near the Finish line. It could be a photo finish - don't destroy those tickets, folks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Responses from non Conny Sarf tinpotters win extra special brownie points!!  |

woooooh we're halfway there WOO-OOOH WESTON-SUPER-MARE ahem. We've got Weston away tomorrow, so I thought I'd stick that bit in. It's been another slightly odd season for Sutton United. We started off with a solitary win at Braintree, and then became consistently and absolutely rubbish. We even lost to Salisbury  But that changed later on. Basically, our form has been extremely inconsistent. Our season began like this in August and September: WLDLLDLLW*LLL *Weston-super-Mare, who were rubbish, let us win. We lost two-thirds of our first twelve games. Then things started to pick up a bit. Won two out of three in October and then in November we beat top-of-the-league Histon  It was a mixed month though, the most memorable game for me being a 5-4 defeat at Dorchester which nobody deserved to lose and which was very entertaining all through. December was our best month: five games DWWWW. We scored eight goals, half of them against Hayes! I do believe we were top of the form table at one point. However, we've lost both the games we've played since, although the Farnborough wasn't surprising considering their amazingly good home form, and we were rubbish at Lewes  Like Malx's lot, we've had to postpone several games, though not through our own (woeful as usual) cup form, but other people's and the weather. We now have the pleasure of Yeading away on a Tuesday night. Thrill a minute! Sutton always seem to come into their own at either end of the season (although the beginning of this one was a disaster) and I can't see us doing too badly from now on. We tend to pick up after Christmas. Looking at what we've got left, there's Dorchester (h), who we owe a thrashing, Eastbourne (h) ditto, because we haven't beaten them for ages and I don't want martello to get complacent, but also a few very tricky away games like Histon and Bishop's Stortford. Conclusion: ahhh, we'll be fine. We could finish 10th if they're good boys. |

Astute as usual Xebi.
Not much more to add for us there really except that i would hope we will be better when our young left back recovers from his broken leg.

At what point did I say ONLY Freudians were on drugs?
Salisbury fans can't all be Freudians after all.
Q. How many Freudians does it take to change a lightbulb?
A. Two. One to put the bulb in, and the other to hold the penis. Sorry, ladder.

Salisbury fans can't all be Freudians after all. - At which point did Medibot convert to being a Salisbury Fan? - Where do Salisbury fans come into the Coat/Drugs/Freudian debate anyway? - Why can't all salisbury Fans be Freudians anyway? Is there some FA ruling to that effect? ------------------------ LOVE lightbulb jokes, myself!  Probably the wrong thread, so I'll put them on the thread where one's permitted to laugh. [Sorry. Force of habit. The new Salisbury Forum is so proscriptive that if you post something in the wrong category they catch you at the turnstiles, strip you, chain you, smear you in porcine pheromone and throw you onto the pitch at half time and release the unfed pigs from up the road. Whether you end up eaten or porked is an academic point of discussion for the Forensic examiners......] {Minor point of lightbulb-joke etiquette. If you're talking about lightbulbs in a sexual context, the verb "screw" may be more apt than 'put in' } |

How do you feel things are going so far for you Pretty good at the mo although I don't see what that's got to do with non-league footy We're bottom. That's really not a good place to be.  And looking down the other side of the hill, how does it look for the future half of the season? It's gonna be one hell of a tough ride. I just hope we can dig ourselves out of this hole as relegation to Conf North would be a complete disaster from my point of view. We've had the same problems as Salisbury with cup & trophy causing a fixture back-log. In fact our problems are worse due to half the games being abandoned or called off.

Can I swap them for jaffa cakes? Sorry. FA ruling states "Special brownie points only interchangeable with mini Jaffa Cakes" Even then, the exchange rate is fairly poor.  Nothing to do with me. Not my rules. It's the Law. |

At least you're not trying to analyse people's minds I'm certainly unqualified to do that, but it's an inevitable fact of human interaction that we do it - even unwillingly - and I think it'd be harsh to rule on people who do. We're all guilty of it. |
