Amazingly it looks like Weymouth might actually be playing a football match tomorrow when they visit Kidderminster Harriers in the Blue Square Premier.
I can barely remember the one nil home defeat to Torquay over Christmas and it is a bizarre scenario that has seen us go three weeks without a match (and valuable income).
Kidderminster are a good side, having recently run Coventry City close in the FA Cup and in Justin Richards and that Barnes-Homer Simpson bloke they have a strike pairing that will cause us problems at the back.
Weymouth will of course have an increased goal threat with the return of Super Lee and if we can have him in tandem with Beaver (until he is inevitably sold) then we could return from the wastelands of the midlands with something tomorrow.
It is a real key time of the season for Terras now. They have to start getting some points together so we keep in the mix in the top half. If we get nothing tomorrow then the pressure against Northwich at home next weekend will be even more intense. Get a point tomorrow and the pressure eases a little.
I am going to punt (as I did on the BlogCast) for a 1-1 draw. Come on you Terras!

Very, very little to report in Terras-land this morning. No midweek match gives everyone time to recover after a less than satisfactory week of off the park speculation.
It is clear that most people you speak to (including Terras fans in this part of the world) have their reservations about the true financial position of the club, but the longer we go without a fire sale or some other negative actions the better.
On the park and a week that started with a home defeat, middled with a draw with the leaders and ended with a win at the bottom club kind of sums up Weymouth FC... inconsistent!
The defeat has been felt more firmly by Northwich who have put manager Dino Maamria on garden leave. It is a shame if his time is up in Cheshire as he was doing a grand job with resources as limited as those available to JHMBE. If the fans and the board have now turned on him this says a lot to me about the continuing diminshing standards of behavior in British football.
On a positive note, Terras striker PJ Dubios has told the Dorset Echo (here) that he is keen to keep a starting place in the Weymouth line up. Unfit at the start of the season he is now beginning to get amongst the goals and as he says, with Money Michael Malcolm, Chris McPhee and the Beaver we should be able to unlock defences.
Right, off to work for me...

It was all my fault. I chose to listen to the end of the first half on Solent online and as regular readers of this site will know... that means Weymouth lose.
I don't know wh I did it, I honestly don't. I was watching the Vuelta a Espana cycling whilst flicking back to Sky Sports News.
I am sorry, it is all my fault.
I heard Kiddie equalise before I cut the feed and then I stayed away until full time.
I don't know why though, call me a psychic but I felt there would be a late goal in the match and sadly I was proved right when the Harriers broke many hearts, mine included.
I sank into my chair as the goal clicked up on screen... watching football via tv can sometimes be more stressful than being at the match...

It should be an entertaining match this afternoon at the Wessex as in form Kidderminster meet Weymouth in the Blue Square Premier.
The Terras will be buoyed by their recent result and performance against Burton last weekend. Up against it with injuries and away from home, they battled to a one all draw.
The last home match was a desperately poor 2-5 defeat to Histon and it will be a performance that manager John Hollins will be looking for some better defending from his players.
There are, not for the first time, plenty of other rumours and pieces of speculation surrounding the club yet again, but after having my say in yesterdays blog about how things are panning out for Weymouth FC I am choosing to keep my counsel today. Please do keep your emails coming in though. I do read thm all and the worrying thing for me is that a lot of the content is consistent in what it is saying.
Enjoy the match.
