If the Pies have scored a better free kick than Castro's, I don't remember it. What a strike from that distance. It was like a guided missile.
You’re going to lose games over a course of the season, the thing that’s needed in this league if you’re going to do well is a positive reaction and we got it.
Probable goal of the season from Castro, unbelievable strike. And what more can you say about Macca, he’s going to get 20 goals before Christmas at this rate.
But the third goal shows what this team is all about. We seem a lot more determined and relentless off the ball this season. Not giving the opposition time, winning the ball back quickly and high up in dangerous positions. Defenders hate it and we’ve seen it enough times the past few seasons how a high press caused us problems. Now we’re the ones causing the problems!

Well that was disappointing
Well Stal described it as a smash and grab, so it’s definitely frustrating to take. I’ll wait for the highlights but their goalkeeper seemed to be in great form whilst ours just picked the ball out of his net three times!
Hopefully it’s a case of ‘just one of those games’, more often than not if you’re the team creating all the chances you’ll win the game. A set-back but no-one in the top 6 won, so it’s not as disastrous as it seems.
We must have had 80% possession but like Aldershot away last season, we contrived to lose 3-1
Slocombe 4 Too many sloppy passes this season were not punished..Today, we were
Rawlinson 5 Kept it simple in passing
Bajami 6.5 Looks the business
Cameron 6 Battle protected
Palmer 4.5 Off the pace, too many times
JOB 6 Plenty of effort
Ruben 7.5 Heavily marked
Nemane 5 Final ball not good enough
Chicksen 5 Shooting chances poor
Scott 6... effective
Langstaff 6.5 Unlucky with his chances
Subs
Mitchell 4 Cannot keep his shots down
Langstaff

Notts are in form. Notts are at home. Aldershot are struggling. You can see where I'm going with this.....

Seconded. Bromley have won four of their last five so will be a harder nut to crack, but if we want to be champions we need to win our home games regardless. I reckon we'll do it, but by a single goal.
I think we'll win this comfortably, but I'm really annoyed that the fixture time has been moved, because it means that I won't be able to make it. For some reason games against Bromley at home conspire against me as I have never yet managed to see us play them!!

As above
How good was that? A completely dominant performance away at one of the better teams in the division (albeit one that must be sick of the sight of us by now). The Daggers were unbeaten at home until yesterday. And I'm not sure even the wildest optimists saw Langstaff getting nine goals just a month into the season. We seem to have clicked, but this is the points average we need to keep up right up to the end of the season - it's not unheard of to miss out on promotion with 95 points in this league. But I'm much more confident we'll be up there than I was. On to Bromley!
Just watched the extended highlights, I’ve no idea what the daggers plan was to deal with us. They didn’t press, they didn’t tackle and they didn’t mark! I’d like to know our record against them in this league, we seem to beat them all the time. A lot of folk always have them as their dark horse but every time we’ve played them I’ve been really unimpressed.
Credit to us though, if a team is going to let you have the ball trouble free than it’s important we do the damage and we really did. None of the goals are going to be in the goal of the season package but the play to create the chances was great as was the finishing. I was little worried about the formation at the start of the season, particularly with the wingbacks but Chicks and Nemane are a lot more effective now. Still unbeaten and back to homes games to come, feels like a great opportunity to gets 5 wins in a row!
Upon promotion to Division One in 1979, Crystal Palace were proclaimed the "team of the eighties". They were relegated in 1981 and didn't come back up till the nineties. Reckon your predictions are better? Have a go below! Kick-off is Saturday at 3pm, and remember your joker!

Slocombe 6 A clean sheet but not without a characteristic sloppy pass that could have cost a goal
Brindley 7 Like how he steps up and brings the ball out of defence and through the lines
Baldwin 6 Some over hit passes but rarely troubled
Cameron 6 Mentally switched on.
Palmer 6 Back to where he is good at, always providing an outlet for the pass
Bajrami 8 MoTM a Neal Bishop mark II version
Chicksen 7.5 A far post ghosting in goal!
Nemane 6.5 Some good work on the right
Ruben 7.9 Not quite MoTM, but had that long range shot gone in, may well have been
Scott 6 Needed to be more ruthless
Langstaff 7 OK didn't score but always looks a threat. Movement makes the departed Wooton look so static

Game 6 - The Moors (H)

Chances are if anyone finishes above Solihull, they will be champions. Solihull have found their form in the last game and a half. Notts at home is one of the toughest fixtures in this league so it has all the makings of a classic. It won't end 0-0. More likely to end 5-5!
Last season we would have found a way to throw the 3 points away, very good win against a good side
Brilliant win. Notts are building up a head of steam. On to Dagenham and another difficult fixture.
It's time to get your crystal balls out again. As usual, kick-off is Saturday at 3pm, and you have a joker each!

Great win. On to Monday and a tasty fixture against promotion rivals.
I was slightly worried about this one, Halifax were going to score at some point and although they did I’m glad it counted for nothing in the end.
Sounded like neither side really got going but the goal gave us confidence and then our quality of finishing was the difference, in particular Langstaff! I had a slight doubt he may struggle with the step up at first but it’s been no issue at all. He really is the real deal. And you can’t forget Scott and Mitchell. Scott with his first start and a goal and Mitchell continuing his promising form from pre-season. No lack of firepower at the moment!
As for Halifax, they might struggle this season, I didn’t think so initially but given how well Pete Wild has started at Barrow it looks like he was key to their success.
Great result that, and vital to get another win under our belts prior to a difficult fixture against Solihull. And it's early days yet, but we might just have struck gold on the striking front.
