72wemblyfinal

Well said Benjrider10. Looking forward to the friendlies,I hear there are a few special games lined up this year. COYT !

Yes Theo the play offs at step 3 and 4 are a disgrace this season,but fortunately it's only for one season.Next season normal service resumes thankfully.

There were 2 scouts from Morcambe FC (div 2)at the game checking out Bilaal Sayoud.

@djwilf Sound points made,I much prefer Joe playing out on the floor,but yesterday when he tried this he did get the ball back most of the time, he was then under pressure to rush a kick,so I can understand why he chose to kick long most of the game.

Very good djwilf spot on assesment. One big difference from our previous games was the distribution from our keeper,nearly everything was aerial.We play imo much better when the ball is released on the ground to our players building from the back.

Great to get a home draw,Bedford Town are currently 5th in the Southern League div1 central Division. Would be great to get a cup run going again,and even better to get the TV cameras over the stadium.BBC are showing 1 game live on the red button from each of the earlier rounds,they asked for viewers to contact them with their suggestions for future games.What better than the first fans owned club.

Should be a good game to guage where we are at performance wise this year against a team who finished 10 (ish) points higher than us last season,and in the corresponding fixture last year beat us 2-1. 0-2 to the Town

Great result,congrats to all concerned.

Thanks for the report Castorman,I also read the report on the Canvey webpage and they were very complimentary of our younger players and from what I read we were unlucky not to score more,great video on theirTwitter feed of our goal. I think this year we have a great mix of experience and youth in our squad.and with an u23s team all should get some game time.And with what I have seen of some of our younger players and those with more experience,competition for first team places places will be tough.Great dilemma for Andy to have we have quality all over the park. Great win last night,congrats to all.

Agree with most of what has been said,what I like most about our performances this year is we are playing it a lot more on the ground and keeping our width on both wings,some of our build up play has been superb,yes we still play the odd long ball but we have to mix it up, Would not like to pick out individual players for praise as they all had a great game.One concern though is our giving away unnecessary free kicks in dangerous positions late in the game,it happened in both home games.and on Sat it was game changing. I see great things coming from this team,I even had £20 at 25-1 to win the league.?

I did notice you had a few new songs in your repertoire ? Great job

@Andyetfc,TJFootie I agree with all you say,one other comment I would add is that the atmosphere in the ground last night was fantastic,and an attendance of over 450 for a midweek game.Looking forward with great anticipation for the rest of the season. Would have been hard to choose man of the match last night there were so many standout performances.

Looks like Nathan MacDonald has left Braintree Town.

The Keeper was Josh Strizovic on loan from Billericay Town fc,Joe was unavailable today due to work commitments.

Does anyone know which leagues feed which,seems a bit confusing,what with the Southern league controlling the new step 3 league,and the Isthmian league controlling the new step 4 league,so as it looks 7 step 4 leagues feeding 4 step 3 leagues.With 3 Isthmian controlled Leagues at step 4 surely they cannot all feed 1 league at step 3 ?,and with the change in numbers in each league ie 22 now in step 3 and 20 in step 4,how many will be promoted/relegated from each? @lovely stuff I did wonder how Carinthian C,managed to get promoted,so i had a look,apparently the Fa looked at all teams who finished 3rd in their respective leagues at step 4 and compared there performance and CC won,so got the place.(I think by 3rd they mean losing playoff team)
