Views from the Sieve

As a long suffering Exile, I very rarely get to see the Mighty D&R in the flesh.
Tomorrow, however, is different. The Sister-in-Law lives in Bath and Lady Snooty has suggested a trip out to NE Somerset to spread the joy. The excitement is palpable as the hours tick down........
Any thoughts or expectations regarding the score?
Tally Ho!

Although we have won our last two away games having seen the highlights of each of these, the opposition had more than enough chances in the games to win them.
I'm hoping for a win but unless there is a change in formation cannot see us scoring many,so maybe a goalless draw.

He'll try to park the bus again, if it works I won't be complaining.

If Gitau is ok I'd imagine he'll replace Lawless, probably Scott on the bench. I long for the day he drops N'Guessan but can't see it happening. Just hope Haigh isn't recalled.

Haigh, Scott, Stephenson and Hemmings all on the bench.

Another point on the road.

A point on the road isn’t too bad when you’re talking national league and above as the opposition are also full time professionals, at our current level we should be rolling these sides over, I’m not meaning to disrespect Bath in any way but our target this season was to get back to the National league but we’re falling well short of what’s been needed and expected, at the end of the day (good old football cliche) our coaching staff are just not up to the required standard.

Spot on Len. It sounded like a pretty dull on the commentary both sides had an equal amount of chances but neither were able to score. Andy Carroll had chance of the game but still couldn’t score.

My thanks goes to Hornchurch for moving us up to 15th
