2008 - Bad memories

Terras fans will be delighted to hear that I am not making the short trip down the A1 to Stevenage tomorrow.

After the last two shambolic results at Broadhall way I am glad to report I am off to a birthday party in Bristol.

I suppose it would be harsh to call the 1-0 defeat under Garry Hill a shambles. We played ok in September 2006 but just didnt look like scoring. Our nemesis Allan Julian putting in his annual fine display between the sticks against us in that super tight orange top.

Last year was pretty poor under Jason Tindall with us never getting going an at the time I remember thinking we had done well not to get absolutely murdered about 6-0.

Maybe I am the curse. Who knows.

The simple fact is though that our start to this Blue Square Premiership season has been so impressive that another couple of weeks unbeaten and our horizon may have to be lifted from that of survival.

I think if I am being honest, and this is no disrespect to JHMBE, Alan Lewer or any of the players, we should finish around the top 10 positions but no higher. A decent FA cup run would be nice too. A win at Oxford last season was the pre-cursor for some terrible performances and results so how we respond tomorrow will be key.

I am zero from two with my predictions so far this season and whilst I would love to see us get a draw I can't see Stevenage continuing to be so bad. An honourable defeat is my prediction.

But make no mistake about it, this will still have been a great start for our club this season whatever happens.

May the best team on the day win...

Oh and do I need injections as I am going so close to that Somerset border tomorrow? :)
