Latest league table following yesterday's results of

Berks Arms 2 - 1 Turnpike

Clocktower 2 - 3 Swan

Hogs Head Res 1 - 1 Kennet

PO 0 - 4 Q Ass

Leaves us 9 points behind the leaders (Q Ass) with 1 game in hand.

But...

Q Ass have played all the shit teams. From the teams in the top half of the table, they've only played Swan (and won 2-1) and Kennet (and drew 1-1). We have to play them twice in the league, and rolled them over 5-2 in the cup.

Our 2 biggest wins of the season have come against Q Ass in the cup and Swan in the league. Q are top, Swan are 3rd.

What this shows is that the league is still wide open and if we can continue putting in performances like yesterday where everyone worked very hard, then it doesn't take much for us to be up there. A little bit more luck in front of goal and little bit more concentration and better decision making at the back and we'll be a difficult side to beat.

I thought we worked hard yesterday and while both goalkeepers made excellent saves and both teams saw shots come back off the woodwork, their keeper was far busier than ours. The goals we conceded showed how a tiny lapse of concentration can cost us, and we need to improve on that. Always better to just deal with the ball and then have people tell you that you didn't need to. But Bucklebury aren't a bad side at all and we played some good stuff, particularly all across the midfield they struggled to cope with us when we were on the ball.

Overall I thought it was a good return after the break, the result was fair enough. But we've only taken 1 point out of a possible 6 from them, despite being the better team on both occasions, and that's not the sort of numbers that get you up the table, so we need to start digging out those wins next Sunday against Turnpike.
