HH, I'm sensing we're being drawn into a wind up here. It's probably Doc's alter ego.

At the risk of causing further angst, would it be impolite to remind people that when we joined the Southern League, it placed us in the top 66 non-league clubs in England? With the current pyramid we are at best 161st in the English non-league structure (below 24 tier 1 clubs, 48 tier 2 and 88 tier 3)

Things are positive (and without the intervention of Keith, Karen and others in the period 2009-18 things would be much, much worst), but let's not let us get carried away and forget the bigger picture.
Also, FWIW, I think that Andy deserves an extra George for consistency (and it has been a long time since the last George award)
For once, not me on the wind-up.
Should have caught it........ more concerned about that young supporter to the right behind Insall (after he gets injured scoring). He looks despondent about the rest of the season...........
Positivity is good. I havent been going as long as some of the others, but longer than some. After 2 Cancelled seasons, one failure and preceeded by the years of austerity, I totally get the holding back on elation just yet.Yeltzbaby wrote: ↑23 Oct 2022, 22:52That's right, you will league by having the most points. At the moment we also have that too at level 4.HalesowenHarry wrote: ↑23 Oct 2022, 21:30You don't win a league scoring the most goals, you do know that?
I don't get why some of you are trying to pick holes in my Yeltz positivity? It's also fact that I am stating.
Stop fearing the worst and enjoy reality, its rather liberating you know
Last season's record against the other top sides look decent enough to me. It was a couple of late equalisers in other games that were the killer. Mind you, every other team will have a similar story.HalesowenHarry wrote: ↑24 Oct 2022, 09:16this may (or may not) be the point Andy et al are trying to make about beating the higher team in the last 3 seasons (difficult with the middle one as not many games!):-
2019-2020 (at the point it was finished March 11th 2020):-
1st Berkhamsted (h) DNP / (a) lost 0-1
3rd Corby Town (h) lost 1-2 / (a) drew 1-1
4th Welwyn Garden City (h) lost 0-2 / (a) DNP
5th Aylesbury United (h) won 4-1 / (a) DNP
2020-2021 (only played a total of 7 games so pretty inconclusive but I'll include the one match for completeness, we were 7th when it finished):-
Corby Town (a) lost 3-4
2021-2022:-
1st Ilkeston Town (h) lost 0-1 / (a) drew 2-2
2nd Stamford (h) won 3-2 / (a) drew 2-2
4th Chasetown (h) lost 0-2 / (a) won 4-1 and I'll add the play off loss of 0-1
5th Belper Town (h) won 2-1 / (a) drew 2-2
So the full record is:-
P15 W4 D4 L7 GF24 GA25
Proves nothing of course, had we beat Ilkeston at home and not lost last season, we'd have won the league, but if my aunt had have had balls she'd have been my uncle...........
Lies, lies and damn statistics
