Ebbsfleet 0-1 Forest Green

[American FLEET FAN No1]

Goodbye to 10,000 pounds, the reward for reaching the final of the Setanta Shield!

not to worry, the bumper crowd of 431 for the semi-final is compensation enough!

Liam said in the interview recently that this was a dilemma .. should he play to win or not ... well, whatever they did they didn't ...

[Darter]

It is of course a huge mistake not to play to win every time when your team is losing league games, as it is psychologically very unhelpful to the players to lose yet again ..... so I am sure he will have told them to play to win.

Problem is - when your league commitments mean playing every Sat, Tues, Thurs - a MINOR cup competition takes second place.

And yes its is only minor - league status counts for so much more...
A win would have helped without doubt, but most fans would sacrifice this competition for league survival...
