I think we all acknowledge we need a solid central defender. If someone of the standard we want became available could we afford him (?), would he want to play in NLS (?). Answers to both questions probably no … so we need a loanee like last season. GJ has said they have a loanee in mind we can be 90% certain he’s looking at a central defender. Understandably we can’t drive the timescale of incoming loans … I just hope it’s sorted before next Saturday.

With no TUFC radio, anyone know if there is a radio commentary on bbc radio Devon or radio Kent ?
I always said I’d never listen to radio Devon after they dumped us last time we were in NLS, but will compromise my principles if needed to listen to the match.

Great signing for NLS

I was there. It was a ‘Tom challenge’, full- blooded - worthy of a Yellow but no more.
Sweeney had been getting some stick from the Popside which might have played a part in his reaction- obvious Red.
Their manager has lost some credibility with his comments about a physical game. He would have been wiser to have talked about gaining fitness, learning about the squad and reinforcing his earlier comments about working on their defence. They lost and we’re poor.
The ref was certainly favouring them after their manager had a go on the touch line.
Great performance from us, hope we can still play our game when we come is against NLS opposition. Thinking about a trip to Dover !

Good game tonight. PSF is a PSF but great to get a good result.
Some good performances Shaun Donnellan impressive in defence, Ollie Tomlinson is a capable player, Brad Ash can run and run.
Good all round performance.
Can’t wait for the league matches to start.

Good to know that we’re remaining full-time next season. Part-time would be a massive down-scaling so very good news.

Anyone know if we need to buy tickets in advance or is it pay on the gate ?

If we’ve nothing to play for I won’t be using my season ticket.
Just don’t want to be part of the Hollywood pantomime- you can buy promotion but you can’t buy respect.

Like others I have come to terms with the likelihood of relegation. However, I still have hope that we might somehow survive in the National League. Selling Jarvis to Yeovil before the end of the season would be an acceptance of relegation and a massive insult to the Yellow Army.

After drawing level late in the match I’m devastated that we came away with nothing.
Still, back at Plainmoor on Tuesday. Bromley begin with B like Barnet do maybe we can play like the second game against Barnet … nonsense I know but it’s my best source of hope !

What a great day to be at Plainmoor.
When the team was announced my fear of a Groundhog Day defeat were made worse when I heard Ross Marshall in the starting line-up.
Our four man defence coped well with the Barnet attack with good performances from all four and probably the best we’ve seen of Ross Marshall.
Lawrence and Lapslie both outstanding.
Another strong game from Aaron Jarvis and great for Tope to get tuck away a strikers goal.
I know we won but … one of the best refs we’ve seen. He sorted out the off the ball blocking of Tope early on and didn’t allow Gilbert to get in this ear after every decision.
A great all round performance from the team - bring on Dorking.

Disappointed not to get any points out if that.
Hanson lucky to stay in the pitch. Didn’t look a pen to me. But decisions go your way when you’re top of the league … and we’re not.
If we play like that in coming matches we should gather a few wins.

According to Soccerbase this was due to be ref’s first match in this league.

Mickey Mouse league and Boreham Wood a Mickey Mouse club - disgraceful to call of the match at 14:00

Thanks MidlandGull. I’m hoping to use TunnelBear which appears to be FOC
