Not my words, but the words of the hinckley utd keeper. High praise indeed!
Not a classic by any stretch but a nicely worked goal and we got better as the game progressed. Hope that's an omen for the season as a whole.
-
I'd quite happily take another 25 1-0 wins this season. So many positives already.
-
Miles Hunter looked a threat with his pace and should have scored at least one, although he could probably do with eating a bit more red meat.
We seemed to take our foot of the gas at 1-0 rather than push on and score more. But defended the lead well. With the diving header in the first half Hinckley's only real chance, though comfortably saved by McKeown.
A solid result though away from home just two days after the last game. Two wins, two clean sheets, two comfortable performances. A great way to start a campaign.
-
I think SWD or Newsh would have scored Miles' chances, especially the one-on-one.
But a good performance overall, well chuffed with that.

As a fan who's team has been in the BSN for two years i can categorically state that the Hinkley keeper is talking out of his arse , you on the performance against us are no where near Alfreton . You may get there of course but dont get over excited about two wins by the odd goal against two sides expected to struggle.Your not bad but your not great.

ok boss whatever you say
don't think anyone is getting to excited yet its too early, but i do think if we get a nice decent start behind us we'll be able to push for play-offs

6 points is 6 points - 6 more than you and Hinckley have put together ;)

And you feel you are in a position to comment after seeing us how many times? Not many I'm guessing so you're opinion doesn't hold much clought.
We're not getting ahead of ourselves, we're just enjoying our 100% league record while it lasts.
I'm off to go and have a look at Shippys pics from when we beat a more or less full strength Gainsborough side the other week (one of the other favs for this division). See ya

OOH bsn for two years :o im staggered at your cv,6 points on the board are 6 points well earned and if you reckon the team that played alfreton two seasons ago are going to be the same as this years you might be eating your words
-
*BOOM* well said guys, and we'll just see buddy ;D
-
al srfc as a supporter is entitled to his opinion but, the Hinckley keeper has played against both teams and in his opinion on the day we were the better side. Until SRFC play Alfreton in a competative match I don't see how he can say which side looks the best. If you go on the previous years form that is no indication, if it were Blackpool would have been relegated last year to Lge 1 ;).
-
I would say Alfreton are probably everyone's favourites to go up mainly because they lost in the play offs last year and have a built a terrific squad, including 2 if not 3 of the England Non League side in their ranks. One of the Hinckley directors said they were very very good with probably only one weakness ....lack of pace in the centre half positions. Kyle McFazdean, the England Non League centre half plays alongside Darren Stride the former Burton Albion legend and apparantly they can compete and smash forwards all over the place but may struggle against smaller quicker players. Their two forwards are outstanding, I think they are Clayton and Hearn ....but we have our own goal machine in Churchy!
Well done lads last night, great support, kept the singing going for most of the match, it's a pity we can't generate as much atmosphere at The Jakemans Stadium.
-
I hope you get a result against Solihull tonight al, I wouldn't want this bitterness to consume you.

What a sweet lay off from Hunter for Church to plant the ball in the net.Hunter played well as it was the first time he played for the full ninety still can improve was lively and worked hard his pace will cause teams problems during the season. Think he will gain confidence from Mondays match. Canners for me looks so much more comfortable at right back also a cracking defence now even stronger then last season. Only worry is the growing injury list MS and SWD hope their fit for Saturday nice to have options.
-
Good posts here ..
Going on last seasons form and pre'season w e shd also be looking at Corby Eastwood ..and Droylsden .
Always rather irksome to find clubs with smaller fan bases ( eg Alfreton ) attracting and keeping good players.
Suppose its due to being near where they played before / work during day .
Wasn't Daren Stride videod working on Burtons (then) new ground ..?

I really hope you do make the playoffs but some people are getting carried away with 2 wins, i'll await abuse....

Bitter? get real , i was merely saying on the strengh of "some" of your supporters thinking you played well against us that that performance will not be good enough to do anything in this league , yes you may well improve and i hope you do a club of your stature should be gracing the BSP again soon . I really didn't expect the forum to descend into a my dads bigger than your dad kiddie debate i thought it was better than that. ::)

Some may be getting carried away,but i don't seriously think many are.We've made a decent start,one any club would be pleased of,but that's all it is-a decent start.

I think it goes without saying that this team - and the management - is significantly better than that which finished tenth in 2007/2008, so it does give us some idea of what our realistic expectations should be. Of course, the unknown quantity is how the opposition have changed since we were last here, but assuming the quality across the league is roughly the same then a title stab isn't totally out of the question, although I'd admit play-offs were probably a more reasonable target. Anything better than that would simply be a fantastic bonus.

Al you need to chill out ;)
I cannot see any of our fans getting carried away. It's a good start which is what everyone has said nothing more. We cannot do any more than win our first 2 games. You can criticize the performance but isn't it an old football cliche that the best sides win despite playing poorly ;)
I'll judge us against Alfreton, Droylesden or whoever you think the good sides are when we play them, as writing us off based on a performance against Stafford is pointless. Last season we where piss poor against Whitby twice (a loss and a draw) who where a very mediocre side, based on that we should of been mid table and wouldn't have got near Guiseley - yet we did the double over them. Football doesn't work like you're trying to make it work.
Not saying we'll win the league or beat everyone more let's take 1 game at a time. First objective is to get enough points to avoid relegation, after that it's about finishing as high as possible. I think you're confusing optimism with arrogance :)

Well said that man yesterday I was optimistic, Friday when i come to the prediction I'll probably be pessimistic because I cannot remember the last time we started with three wins in a row at the start of a season :o

we'll piss this tinpot league

By the way If anybody wants a cheap laugh, then read the "Tommo talks" programme notes from yesterday and count the sheer number of massive spelling mistakes and grammatical errors, there's quite a few.

Before i get shot down for saying this, i don't think many can dissagree that by atmosphere cookie means chanting
i think this would be helped if we shot towards the townend in the 2nd half more often myself as its obviously more exciting to see the action coming towards you than away, and its the only section of the ground that chants.
other sides of the ground are vocal and encouringing but by the means of atmosphere i do think it would deffinatley be helped if we shot towards the towened 2nd half more often

Historically, the club has always kicked towards the York Street end when given the choice...

we'll piss this slightly less tinpot league
