No Bradders or Driver - were they both injured?

Great performance today - things looking brighter - well done, chaps!

Clowns.
We are starting to get it together hopefully.

Hardly underachieving! With Woking losing today at home to Dulwich Hamlet (18th) IF tthe clowns had won today they'd have gone top!

Are you on dishwasher duty or is that some sort of down with the kids hip speak with which I am not familiar?

Any arguments about either of the pens? And who were the guilty parties?

First half to go in on equal terms was fine for me and no more than we deserved and their missed penalty was justice for us as from the far end of the pitch it didn't look as if Derren has touched their player.
Second half only a couple of minutes old and a second penalty awarded and no luck for us this time but we were still in the game and had so many chances and we needed to have the goal raised by a few feet as we blasted 4 - 5 good chances over the bar.
As Ring Of Fire says

Just need to aim to shoot over the goal line & not at the sky line...

The referee was not doing us any favours either booking several players and falling for their diving tactics throughout the game and as for their right winger with dreadlocks if he dived once he did it half a dozen times and the ref awarded a free kick each time.
But as the final few minutes of the game came persistent time wasting at corners and free kicks lead to 6 minutes of extra time and I think in the 95 minute a cross into the box saw a miss kick from their defender and it gave Jamie a chance and his flick on hit the edge of the post and bobbled in to give us the draw we certainly deserved.
A good fighting performance by all the players and well deserved applause at the end and a special mention for their keeper an ex Dart Alan Julian who was joking with our fans and shaking hands with them even during the game and he found time to persuade the three stewards behind the goal to allow 3 fans to stand in the hatched area saying they were fine and he had no problem.
At the end whilst the players were shaking hands he had a lot of the Darts fans lining up and he shook hands with all of them a true gent but just a pity that he wasn't tested and didn't have a save to make

My first visit to Billericay nice Town and a very decent football ground with a beautiful pitch which did however have a considerable slope from side to side. First half we worked hard and rode our luck, Tom Bonner gave Del a right bollocking for conceding the first penalty when Del pushed the Billericay number 9 in the back but the same player hit the penalty too high and it clipped the top of our crossbar. There was some irony to the bollocking because I believe their second penalty was awarded against Tom Bonner for pushing when they had a corner and this time their number 9 made no mistake. We made chances second half but most went over the bar and without Charlie I couldn't see us getting a goal until Philpot popped up to score in the 6 minutes of added time to give us a very good point.

Happy we gained a point from this game,which was totally undeserved, according to their website. I don't care, must of been crazy moment for our travelling fans
Will be interested to find out the crowd?

National League website gives the attendance as 1431
