Not sure how we'll get on;Perhaps we should pretend we're away today??
Currently en route in a train carriage, with around 15 or so Bath fans....

FT Lewes win 1-0. the gap back down to 5. Was starting to think a draw may be enough, but Saturday is looking like a must win now.

In the last 8 games City have picked up 2 points over Lewes, in the last 6 games both teams have taken the same number of points, in the last 4 games Lewes have picked up two points over Lewes, they just can't pick up enough points fast enough.

Mediocre yesterday was being polite. It was as if the last 2 games never happened.
Bath deserved to win, though by 2 goals massively flattered them. better than Staines though, but WTF was our midfield???
And less impressed by some of their fans singing 'EDL' as they left WFS, interspersed with one or two other choice racist remarks. Inbred f*cks.....

VOR, 2 goals couldnt have massively flattered them if they deserved to win. To win it would have been by at least one goal, and to be fair, the second goal was nothing more than a late fluke goal which had no real bearing on the result.
Agree about midfield, just not together as a unit at all, just individuals trying to force things to happen.
Disappointing really, but I guess par for the course for a team 4th bottom of the league.

They were one goal better. But not 2.
I've been involved in enough games to know the difference! Know only get to a few games, but were you even there??

Exactly, they were one goal and an unfortunate fluke better, so they werent flattered by the result, it was a fair result, won by the better team who looked more fluent, morecomfortable on the ball. but you cant fault City for the effort put in, a lot of hard work, which has shown to pay off with the unexpected win at Dover and the excellent result at Staines.

we can agree on that one  There was only one team likely ot win the game though, and if Meredith hadn't been so sound yesterday it could have been worse, I thought he had a really good game, a bit unfair on Carley to give him a 5 I thought!! |

Yeah I agree, Jake had one of his better games His handling wasn't perfect but you probably wouldn't expect it to be at this level and 5 was a little lower than I would have scored him, but at the same time I didn't think Ward had that great a game and Steve made him out star player 7*. |

I think Steve Carleys view of the game was obscured by all the ex Directors in the Directors Box I thought Daniels had a mare ( I think he thought so too!) I was very impressed with Shabir and also with Price at times. Meredith was positive yesterday, he tried to dominate his box, and when he came out, he came out all the way, no dithering. He took control of situations that previously he'd have left to others, so well done to him. |

Pricey has improved so much! Indeed he has, I actually voted for him as player of the month for March as I feel he has been outstanding. His passing has been excellent in general and crosses the ball well. He has improved massively working alongside Mark Clyde. Mark's influence at the back is such a crucial part of our defence. I would be interested to see any stats of goals conceded and games won and lost with and without Mark Clyde. As JCP rightly said, Wayne Daniel had a bit of a howler, when he has played well recently, again possibly due to Mark Clyde not in his ear all the time? |

Pricey has improved so much! Price is playing like he should have always played for us, and like he did when he first joined. He got lazy, and got the boot up the a**e he needed when he was released! |

He rested his leg Monday to be certain of on hurting his knee or the calf he injured at Staines. The bruise on his thigh and calf were massive he said. He did it when he went down in our own box in the first half and Walker's stud went into his calf... ouch! |

Agreed Jem. Price is playing as he did when he first came on loan. Once he signed he quickly went down hill both in skill and attitude ! He is now playing for a contract next season. Lets hope once he gets it he doesn't go the same way as last time. I also voted for him as POTM in March |

Yes Jake had a good game apart from one poor kick out in the 1st half which was caused him into a good save when it was fired back at him. Credit where credit is due, I gave him a hard time when his form was poor, but he looks to have got alot of his confidence back and importantly those in front seem to believe in him more. Now all we need is mm back to say told you so !! ;D |

I would echo the above sentiments. I have been critical of Jake in the past, but I felt yesterday he had a solid game and was not at fault for either goal.
He commanded his box well and but for that one loose clearance, he deserved at least a 7/10 for me.
Credit where it is due Jake/mm.

Yes, credit to Jake. And the team in recent games generally, with the exception of yesterday.
Let's hope it was a relative blip. And are firing on all cylinders come Saturday?

I would be interested to see any stats of goals conceded and games won and lost with and without Mark Clyde. | | P | W | D | L | F | A | W | D | L | F | A | GD | Pts | | With MC | 30 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 19 | 14 | 2 | 6 | 10 | 17 | 29 | -7 | 29 | | Without MC | 9 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 11 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 2 | -6 | 8 |
That's the league record, broken down into home then away games, for when Mark Clyde has and hasn't played. Of the 30 games he played he was on for the full 90 minutes in 25 of them (10 at home & 15 away). The three tables on the Player Statistics page might also help. |

I think that shows that we are stronger with MC in the side. Winning 1 in 9 without him and 1 in 6 with him. It is as much what he gives the other players too, Wayne Daniel is a much better player when MC plays and I think he gives Jake more security and protection too |

The second goal was a fluke, but I thought Bath were two goals better overall. They controlled the game.
The Berkshire Northern Ireland Supporters Club looks forward to Mark Clyde's imminent return...

He did have a good game, agreed. But, from where I was positioned he appeared to step over the 18 yard line everytime he kicked from his hands. He was lucky that neither Refs Assistants didn't watch him closely when kicking from his hands. Carl if you are watching this board, please have a word with him on the matter? Because he might not be so lucky in another game. |

I think that shows that we are stronger with MC in the side. Winning 1 in 9 without him and 1 in 6 with him. But that's only in home games. Overall we've won 23% of the games he's played in and 22% of those where he hasn't played. We've conceded 1.43 goals per game when he's played and and 1.44 when he hasn't. Statistically he doesn't appear to make a difference to results which to me proves only that statistics can't be relied upon as I'd also definitely much rather have him in the side than not. |

Your glass if half full! Looking through my half empty glass they would go two points behind us with two game sin hand if they win on Saturday. That seems like plenty of time. Beat us, win one of the games in hand, and match our results in the other games. I dont think I see the point of your arguement that they havent gained enough points on us over the last few games. They are starting to pick up points, and have two games in hand of us. Its all to play for. I'd say whoever wins on Saturday is the favourite to stay up, with a draw being a better result for us. |

Late in the day but I agree with those who said Jake was given an unfair mark in the WEN. It would have been a seven from me. He wasn't at fault for either goal; Hogg was given far too much time and space for the first and the second was a complete fluke, the sort you only get once a season.
I'm beginning to get really worried about our position; next Saturday is an absolute must-win game, and even then we wouldn't be mathematically safe. I feel as if this situation could go right to the wire. Ah well - a few sleepless nights.
