    Did remarkably well to dig that out on a sticky pitch, with the defender closing too. Lovely finish.

    Just seen it again on the telly. Pitch looks even worse on telly!.., and yes he did very well not to get bogged down ploughing through the mud. Great determination and cool finish. Really enjoyed that goal

    thought we settled well last night and we're looking decent for first 5-10 minutes and then bad habits took over again and we fully deserved to be 1-0 down at half time. made the point to others at half-time that McCartan needed to be freed up, he was lost out wide.

    started second half well and we're good for half an hour, bit fortunate with the third as if Tom Soares had a better touch it would've finished 2-2.

    you can only beat what's out in front of you but we still need to vastly improve. no more so than in our concentration levels towards the end of games, that's been clearly evident for a long-time now. also thought we played the conditions well.

    it's a step in the right direction, but only a small step - we'll face a lot sterner tests over the coming weeks.

    We need to be careful on Tuesday night! Graham Westley has already said that Stevenage are capable of getting promoted to the Championship. Not this season, Graham, not this season. :)

    It is supposed to keep raining constantly between now and kick off in 48 hours. With high winds.

    can not see it happening

    Listening to rain and looking at forecast, I’d be surprised if this game goes ahead.

    Checking the weather forecast suggests to me Tuesdays match will be called off. The pitch is already in a poor condition.

    Forecast is bad and our pitch is equally bad. It won't be on. However there will be a crowd of 1. Fordy. What a real man he is!!!

    Trouble with high winds and boggy ground is that they are great levellers. Tonight would be a good time to play a top of the league side not the bottom one.

    All right mystic Fordy but I would like a bit more reassurance before driving 80 miles

    And to give you some idea of what it’s like here, this is the national team playing in conditions that would have everyone staying indoors and panic purchasing beans :) Not even using an orange ball!

    And here's me thinking the North was full of hardy souls, unlike us soft southern jessies.

    Was that the game last winter? The coldest I've ever been at a football game.
    4-0 tonight would do nicely again though!

    Driving at night kills my eyes these days especially the motorway sections without lights.

    Just had new specs, you can get a coating on them now days to cut the dazzle from the brighter headlights. Works well
