The final XI looked like a return to the old guard, perhaps with Saturday in mind. To date, and similar to Dulwich our performances are not anywhere near reflective of our respective underlying talents. Makes things mouth-watering. Negatives persist, our delivery into the box is amateurish, our formations limitations leaves us bereft of bodies in the box. Everything we have disregarded to date, will probably be our salvation at some point. Casey, Big Dave, Murphs. The talent is there. Ollie, class act - he and Seebs needed to stem the in-coming.
We are stuck in second gear with that lot sat on the bench. Even one intervention can change the whole complexion. We are making medicocre opposition look equal.
Last season I went to Dulwich and Tonbridge and for the first time in nearly nine years I felt defeat before departure, and didn't like it. I don't want that feeling again - and for disclosure purposes, right now, I don't have the same sentiment. In fact, I full faith in the lads - It's in the locker.
I genuinely believe we can win. Plenty of the season left, push on, be bold.
Footnote to the Met. I maintain, he's a decent manager. Along with Gary and Dowson, decent stock. I thought that was a tough break today. There's some tough lessons out there.
