Billy Ricky (H) Tuesday 12th January

[Dave T]

As has been said, I'm sure Kingy and the boys will have been hurting even more than us after Saturday's debacle.

Let's put it right tomorrow guys.... we're all behind you in our living rooms!

What a great way to bounce back and go back to the top of the League with a win (Dorking don’t play!)

On reflection, and I was one of many to criticise the performance last Saturday, this season has been generally a “car crash” with no momentum and it’s likely to be further disrupted at least for another 2-3 months. At least two of the teams in NLS are openly expressing their concerns about playing on.

As a consequence no team in the division has looked to develop a firm hold at the top and I’m certain that any team that, under very difficult circumstances, is able to put together a consistent run of results, will go on and win the title.

Really looking forward to Tuesdays game. As has been said, let us all get behind Kingy and the boys and get us back to winning ways. COYD.

Lots still to be very excited about. I'm sure Kingy and co will get the right balance and performances we know they are capable of, just need things to click up the top half. Be it through better service or better finishing or set up

Also looking forward to watching the streamed match tomorrow. We have no idea how the season will pan out as it progresses. Will games continue to be played or will things come to a sudden abrupt end. That is why we need to push on and win as many games as possible so that the points per game ratio is the best in the league. Just in case the season is curtailed and the winner is based on that figure for the automatic promotion place, if that is what it comes to. PPG can lead to very fine margins, as both Ebbsfleet and Tranmere discovered last season as those results resulted in relegation for both of them. In Tranmere's case, winning their game in hand would have improved their ppg to an extent that they have not been relegated! Equally, I would hate to see the Darts (or any other team) denied an automatic spot because teams behind in games in theory being gifted points on the assumption their form continues at the same rate as earlier results. So yes, bring the game on. There are a lot of topsy turvey results happening recently and we all know a run of confidence brings success, as we have previously seen at the Darts. So.. COYD. And Gary, enjoy the streaming!!

Pete I believe the FA decided after clubs voted for it, for PPG to only kick in provided 75% of the season has been completed in future seasons. So i totally get your point but we are a long way from that procedure. As I say just mentioning.

[PeteSamson]

The thing is Reggie is that it is not so far away for some clubs. Normal season gives 40 games, so 75% is 30 games. Hungerford are already over halfway there having played 16 games, whist Dorking and Darts are 15 each. Then you have 3 teams having only played 10 games.
In practice, when does the 75% cut in? When the first team reaches the 30 game mark or when the last team reaches the 30 game mark. It won't affect Welling too much either way, but it could give a considerable advantage to Havant & Waterlooville, or even dare I say it Maidstone on 10 and 11 games respectively played.
That is my concern and the reason offering encouragement to the team to get the ball in the back of that net!!

Hi Pete as with most things currently I'm guessing this will be decided on a whim.

Thought of the day....”really need the 3 points later’

Darts, Ebbsfleet & Welling all at home on the same day will surely affect attendances , wonder who will get the highest crowd?
For a bit of fun I like to have a guess at crowd numbers for matches at P. P., 100% success rate so far this season. Hope to keep that record going tonight. With 3 points to go along with it naturally.
