Views from the Sieve

So, off to the English Riviera this weekend as we look to make it eight games unbeaten and continue our very respectable recent form. As many have alluded to on other threads, it's a good time to face Torquay. Last week they had seven first-team players out injured and, although that situation has i...

0-1, Balanta.

All of a sudden we're exciting to watch. Every time Luque and Balanta have the ball it seems as if they're capable of making stuff happen, plus the likes of McQueen, Graham and Dobson won't give defenders an easy ride either. If it wasn't for a wicked deflection we'd have got another clean sheet yes...

3-1, Luque.

Only complaint with today is that we didn't score many more!

Grear performance, arguably our best of the Peter Taylor era. Completely faultless all over the pitch and, at long last, we have that clean sheet. A perfect reaction to Wednesday's disappointment.

So, back in action today as we travel to a Maidenhead side that consistently defy the odds under manager Alan Devonshire. This season has proved no different so far, with the predicted strugglers sitting pretty in fourth place following 5 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. However, both of their losses ha...

1-1, Balanta.

Match Report: Daggers 1 Bromley 1 Thirty seconds after Dagenham had the ball in the corner, seemingly on the precipice of another home victory alongside an eagerly-awaited first clean sheet of the season, they were struck by a devastating blow that sent bodies all around the ground slumping to the ...

Yeah maybe a bit harsh, maybe the disappointment of the last-second goal is clouding things somewhat. We did play well and gave as good as we got throughout, however Bromley were a tidy outfit and always seemed to have a threat going forwards. I'm not saying that they were camped in our box for 80 m...

To be honest, I think it would've been even harsher on Bromley if they hadn't got anything. The last-second equaliser hurts, but it was coming for about 80 minutes. Other than our goal and Luque's big chance, I can't think of much that we offered, whereas Bromley had five or six really strong opport...

2-2, Hackett-Fairchild.

For the second Saturday in a row, I am utterly perplexed that we've somehow ended a game with our goal under siege, when by half time we looked so comfortable and seemingly heading for a convincing victory. As has been a recurring problem this season, we failed to kill it off and capitalise at the p...

7 points from our last 9 marks our joint-best form of 2019, which we'll be looking to continue as we head to struggling Chesterfield this weekend. Them and Chorley are the only sides yet to taste victory this season so on paper it's a good time to play them, however there's the feeling that it's onl...

It almost seemed fitting, Bolton and Bury were due to play eachother live on Sky Sports on the 8th September. It's no Premier League's responsibility to bail any team out, once again it's the supporters that suffer. Steve Dale, a self-proclaimed non-football fan who said he could 'very easily' walk ...

1-2, Balanta.
