    I’m really confident about this year.
    I know it’s early but we are attaching with flair and defending in numbers.
    I was always reserved when we had the good spells over the last few seasons. During the runs we seemed to be more lucky than good.
    This first four games though are different. I’m so glad we got DA. I’m about to put a bet on us winning league one next season lol

    on another note does Will Griggs song work for Vernam?

    We need a bit more strength in depth but two more will give us that and then we are set. This team will get us up

    ..and as usual, you’re wrong. You dissed this side before they even kicked a ball.

    Hope you are enjoying all that egg on your face

    They were better on the right hand side today most stuff went out wide that side and if you have a 6'5" centre forward your going to win you're fair share of headers which they did.
    Once again thd opposition had more possession but second half we looked dangerous on both flanks when Crankshaw came on, boy have I missed a atmosphere like today both sets of fans giving it to each other then when Cook scored the winner our end went wild, some game.

    Looked like it could easily have been a red. It was a lunge and his foot was knee high. The ref was very lenient throughout which we benefited from on this occasion.

    I not convinced FCD is cut out at this level to be a starting RB. Our right side has been exposed in the last 3 games we’ve played with him at RB and far too many crosses come into the box down that side. His distribution (short/long passing and crossing) is also pretty poor, needlessly giving the ball away.

    Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

    One of the advantages of playing FCD is that we tempt teams to attack down that side so we know where they will play, In the meantime our other full back on the other side along with the midfield have a field day!! :)

    Ref was right in front of it. No more than 10 yards away and didn't even flinch

    Very very impressed with him today, just wait until he’s match fit, because he’s NOT at the moment!

    Some years ago we thought we might have a "you score X we'll score X+1" side...looks like it might finally have arrived! It'll make for an interesting, not to mention nerve-wracking, season!

    It really is good to see a come-from-behind win as well.

    ROD and Dracula both are unhappy with crosses but he has the shirt and so far has done well and deserves to keep it
