The home win against Chelmsford after winning at Bath after being 1-0 down was promising, breaking a 17 year record or whatever it was; I was optimistic that we could build some momentum despite the actual performance not being great.
Then came the 0-0 against Hemel. A game we truly deserved to lose however when given a penalty with 10 minutes to go that's the sort of chances we have to take if we're going to have any chance at a title challenge, steal 3 points when we deserve 0. A poor performance topped off by arguing over who takes the penalty, for it then to be smashed into the car park.
The most recent game, Wealdstone, a mid table team last season who don't get me wrong, have strengthened in the summer however it was the first game in all the years I have been going to Princes Park that has genuinely made me angry at the players. Not one of those players looked interested in playing, a sloppy mistake to concede the first goal and a lack of awareness for the entire game.
The next two games are so important for our season both teams without a win and teams we really should be beating. Win both and maybe we can push for playoffs (I can't look past Billericay or Woking for the title), but if we don't win both of these games then we will be dragged into a relegation battle, our best players will start thinking about playing elsewhere and it will be extremely difficult build any momentum.
Dragged into a relegation battle !!! Just don't bother going anymore go shopping in Bluewater
