We have to be winning games like that, against part-time mid table opposition, but didn't deserve to. It was a disappointing performance. Not impressed by Bradbury saying otherwise. With how bullish he was upon taking the job, about our ambitions, you have to be setting better standards than that for me. We offered precious little besides that mini spell around the half-hour mark.
How many teams are part-time and how many are professional ? Is there anywhere we can look this up ?
Think the only full-time clubs are ourselves, Torquay, Maidstone, Ebbsfleet and Chelmsford? Anyone else?

These four all full time plus Eastbourne. Totton are also rumoured to have gone full time although I've not seen that confirmed anywhere. The other clubs are all either part-time or hybrid models, ie have some full timers and some part time

✍️ SOBERING STALEMATE IN SALISBURY

Lee Bradbury's assessment of a "really good performance" didn't align with what supporters saw. When he and the new signings have been so forthright about promotion, you have to set standards to a higher bar than that.
