VE Day - Victory over Eastbourne Day

We have suffered 8 defeats from our last 11 competitive fixtures.

We are 4 points off the relegation zone.

We have lost the services of over half our first team.

Prices at Rockingham Road have just risen by 50%.

Imraan is at his unpredictable "hire 'em, fire-em" worse.

Despite a few encouraging words, there is still no news on the long term future of the ground situation.

We have just two home wins this season. One the nail-biting 2-1 win against Hayes and Yeading over 3 months ago. The other a pre-season triumph over the mighty DRC Locums backroom staff.

Several of our young loanees have yet to experience the full "Rockingham Road Moan". It has been known to reduce seasoned campaigners to quivering wrecks!

We have a home game this Saturday over a team who can draw clear of the relegation zone by beating us.

If the statement "darkest before the dawn" has any truth in it, presently it is pitch black out there! This Saturday against Eastbourne is truly a must-win game. The proverbial "6-pointer".

Our makeshift team of lags and kids may have played OK during the recent run of away defeats, but Saturday's game simply has to end with a home win. Anything else will be a disaster. No pressure then!
