The Non League Football Thread

I bet you like it even less after the bore draw at Rockingham Road.

Pull up a chair, it's a long haul to get out of this league; not many clubs bounce straight back.

Sounded like you lot struggled today. Only one nil against the Chester sounds a bit poor. Especially if their chairman's son is as bad as everyone says he is...

On another note. I wonder when Chester's goal difference will equal their points.

1-0 against Chester is better than Luton's 0-0 against Chester, and that will do me nicely!

All the same, yeah it doesn't look impressive, but after last years lame away record, I'd take 1-0s any day.

We're scoring plenty at home and not conceding many, so Field Mill is fairly safe; quite happily keep taking 3 points on the road.

Yes I would have liked another goal after scoring after 2 minutes, but it sounds like we had the chances, a disallowed goal and a good pen shout.

We didn't even deserve that point either to be quite honest. Tyler, our goalkeeper, kept us in that game and he did the same thing yesterday apparently. It's so frustrating because we do have a good team, infact i think that's an understatement, but since we hammered you lot in the second half 4 games ago we seem to have forgotten how to even string two passes together let alone play any decent football.

No disrespect to this league, and i know it's not easy to get out of, but with the players we have at our disposal we should be performing. I don't mean we should be winning every week, i just mean we shouldn't be playing so badly that the players are being boo'd off of the pitch after every game!

Good to see AFC Wombles winning again after their defeat on Saturday

FC win 2-1 with a late goal from their captain David Chadwick, another good three points.

Ex Alty lad Ben Deegan scored the first as well i think.

Yep he did, see my previous post before I said FC won.

Draw for us at Rushden which isn't a bad result, with all respect to our next two opposition, it's got to be 6 points from 6.

So you did. Didnt see that.

I dunno who your next game is but didnt your fans say that about us last year too...

And to the Luton fan, you're unbeaten so far this season and getting booed off the pitch? I cant understand that. And to be honest, is a draw at Kettering really that bad a result?

They're booing because our performances have been absolutely woeful and our goalkeeper has rescued us in the last two or three games from losing. I don't condone it obviously but it is very frustrating seeing your team, who you know are capable of playing, look utterly clueless and unable to string a couple of passes together. Also, our tallest striker is about 5ft 10" and, at the moment, all we are doing is hoofing it which obviously won't work against defenders of 6ft 2" plus. I haven't booed and i won't because it doesn't help, but when some fans boo, others join in.

One of our own supporters actually head butted another of our supporters on the way out of Kettering on Saturday because he was booing and was told to be quiet and support his team. Our fans are always at eachothers throats, so i'm never surprised when they turn on the players or manager.

I don't understand the booing either. It is still ridiculous to boo them. People don't seem to realise how tough this league is whether or not we've got a good squad. The standard has significantly dropped and therefore our standard will be dragged down. Once we get a big target man we should improve.

Also, do you know if we get any money from Carlos Edwards' transfer to Ipswich?

But Hatch and Craddock are the messiahs though aren't they? Lol...
