Us Boro fans are still feeling sorry for ourselves after Saturday because on another day we could easily drawn or won that match.lm still saying we are in with a chance of 5th if we win the Last 4 some are saying we will end mid table so theres a big difference in opinion.
Now we have fans from everywhere on here.
From Hendon!
From Chesham!
From Kazakstan!
From Swindon!
And me from Boring South Ruislip!
So any other points on Saturday please share with us on our Fantastic Forum! So Come On You Reds!

Boro 0-2 Chesham.

We were by far second best until Chesham took a worthy lead. It seemed to wake us up and we had a couple of chances and a goal disallowed for a questionable offside. Killer of a goal on the stroke of half time.

Second half o Connor should have halved the deficit and given us a lifeline. From then on lots of long shots and a header cleared off of the line but never looked likely to get anything from the game in the end.

My opinion -
We lacked width on the left. George Moore didn't want to get at the full back and more often than not cut in to shoot or cross but it didn't work. I was surprised Haugh didn't come on to often a better balance. Bitmead I am not a fan of at all and would rather O'Connor start. Michael Bryan was neutralised and he should have been pushed out wide to try something different. I thought we would have a real go second half and take off a centre half. I'd have liked to see us go for it with Andrew and Pepera going off for Haugh and O'Connor. We could have gone 442 then with Moore at RB and Bryan ahead of him. Anyway I'm not the manager but was just disappointed.

Terry - you called it right, Kings Langley may be bottling it! That's the most disappointing thing about the defeat. They lost to a team nobody expected them to lose to. Even a point with them travelling to Taunton next week would have made it interesting but it's over now. We are desperately out of form. Since the win over Taunton, our only points have been from a draw with Merthyr, who then were thumped 7-1 by Dorchester 3 days later. We beat Gosport who hadn't won for 5 weeks when we turned up to play them and were facing relegation.

For us to win our last 4 games will be a miracle and then we're hoping Kings Langley don't get more than 5 points and Poole 8. In fairness I can't see Poole getting more than 8 but if KL got less than 5 points it would be a huge meltdown. Perhaps they lose to Taunton and get shaky up against an in form Dorchester to take only 1 point from their next two games, but I just cannot see us taking 6 points from the next two games to even put on any pressure. If this happens and we're two points behind with two games to go then maybe I'll eat my words but for now we're playing for fun for the rest of the league matches.

Thank you Harrowred thats a very detailed and good reply.
As for Mark Bitmead and Anthony O'Connor yes both should of scored at Least they are getting a Position to score.So the adage work in training on one on one with the goalkeeper just to beat.Thats the way to improve.
As for Ryan Haugh a Lovely fella l had a chat with him during half time asking if he could do a Long throw.My personal view he is better in midfield.George Moore is a more natural defender in my view.
Really at this Level keep it simple Like you say good width good crosses.Again practise in training.
You mention Kings Langley after what happened Saturday l can only see another 4 points. They will Lose at Taunton and Walton Casuals get a nervy draw against Dorchester but should beat Frome who Look down
With Poole l can see only 3 points with their record in pressure games with Saturdays win more to do with Farnborough going all out for a win.
So they will beat Staines and Lose to Basingstoke Met Police and Weymouth
So if our guys can show better finishing and yes have some Lady Luck lm expecting them to Beat Wimbourne Tiverton Staines and Salisbury.
As they say Harrowred Form is Temporary But Class is permanent.
So l expect The Final Points Total To Be::
5th Harrow Boro 68 Points
6th Kings Langley 67 Points
7th Poole Town 63 Points
Farnborough l believe are now out of it.They wont recover from that Last minute defeat.
So lm still very optimistic.Some comedian on the forum said we would be 10points behind Kings Langley after Saturday and what a great run they were on.Well that bubble has now burst!
So 7points is tough to get back but it can be done.Im sure Steve Baker and the players havent given up and neither have l.
So Come On You Reds!
