Fantastic point on the road. Played like a team and with some identity. If we were more consistent this season then we would be much higher if we played like that. Hope we aren’t too far off it now. I cannot complain with a top drawer performance like that.

Great to read such positive match reports. IF we can hit form now the playoffs are in reach.
https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/isth ... /predicted predicts we may need 77 points (though to be taken with a pinch of salt).
We're on 47 now with 14 games left, so 30 points needed. Maybe, could be more, could well be less, is the following achievable?:
- next 4 matches Moneyfields through Raynes Park : 7 points
- then 5 matches, Guernsey through Rayners Lane: 11 points
- then 5 matches, Farnham through South Park : 12 points
It's going to be close, we need to maintain Kingstonian-style form against the teams above us and have wins, not draws, against those below us. It looks possible though!
COYH&YU!

Very good away performance Saturday more than held our own against the best team I’ve seen this season. After the first 15-20 minutes where Kingstonian came out the blocks early, had good possession and looked dangerous going forward. Once we settled into the rhythm of the game we did really well nullify their attack and started to ask questions going forward. Jude Mason on set pieces a vast improvement, giving James, Keano and new addition Jack McKnight to attack.
One miss placed pass on halfway was punished. A swift counter produced an overload at the back post when Palace jones fired home. Few chances from Sippetts Kaylen and Sarni causing problems with his pace in behind. Kaylen hitting the base of the post late in the half out closest effort.
2nd half was defensively sound and gave us a strong base to go forward. Looked the more likely to score second half. Kaylen shot tipped onto the bar, Sippetts on hand to nod home from close range. Missed the a golden chance with a poorly taken penalty by new boy Jack McKnight and also managed to block the rebound effort from Jose Sarni to top of his luck. Herson Alves produced a reaction save from Liam Allen in the home goal near the end.
Mom James Richmond thought he was dominant in the air throughout and a threat at the end on set pieces.
More performances like that and we could make a real push to break into the play off spots.
Squad taking shape nicely. Kaylen signing till the end of season a huge boost. Jack McKnight looked calm on the ball and not afraid to get stuck in, solid in the middle. Tyler Hayles has the ability to carry the ball through midfield no nice balance in there Saturday.
Amos, Clifton, Bangura, Salmon all non starters and arguably would be in the strongest 11 so depth looking good for the run in.
