Their development, despite what some may believe to the contrary Several have been training with the first team, but Atherton is now very close to a debut. I'd like to see him start on the right wing and Walker on the left to have good run at the Boreham Wood defence from the off. They won't be prepared for it. The big concern is who's going to pass the ball to them, it's no use lumping it in the air.

Doesn't mean the slightest to me about the level they play. Didn't you mention the same about James Berry? and I keep saying if that have the ability and desire they can go higher. I've recommended several from when I watched them play in Sunday League teams like Lee Trundle,Tony Naylor and Tony Ellis who years later went on to star in the Championship. Chris Waddle was playing for a North East non league club when I spotted him. I have a vision when scouting of where they could be in two years time, not where they are now.

You came across as saying if a player was playing in the North West Counties league that's his level. Exactly the same was said about James Berry.

BP1960 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) I dont need help, he questions my every post as if to prove me wrong, hence I don't read his posts.

If that's aimed at me I've made a point of not responding to a single one of your posts (bar one where you specifically tagged me) since the last time you threw a hissy fit.

LightDN123 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I wouldn’t say this is a must win, but we really could do with the 3 points to get back on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemel latic Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 It's almost like a 16 match mini season from here on in. Build on this platform, look to improve, play well and win over the course of the next two months and get as high up as we possibly can in the league table to bag the best possible spot in the play offs. Really hope we can go on a good run after the disappointing start to the calendar year and go into the play offs in good form as a feared opponent for all the rest. I don't think we've beaten Boreham Wood since we dropped into the National League, they're pretty much everything we find to hard to beat in this league, tonight would be the prefect time to find the winning formula and put this lot to bed. Good to be welcoming back Hogan tonight, think we missed his leadership during his suspension. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t like the phrase “must win” as games rarely are! But I think us fans and the players/coaches could really do with a win tonight just to get us all feeling positive again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norewgian Gunnar Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 A win tonight will make us all feel more positive and give us some momentum heading into two away games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 The weather forecast shows that it’s going to be persistently raining throughout the game tonight - let’s hope that the pitch survived the rugby boys and is still in reasonable nick. I will be forking out £9.50 of our English pounds for a single camera feed of the match on NLTV - here’s hoping that I get my money’s worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
