Turns out that he's their 9th keeper of the season***.  At the other end of the scale, it will also be Ross Allen's 200th game.  He will be hoping to add to the 221 goals that he's scored in the previous 199.

*** Edit: Not their 9th of the season.  Just their 9th.  Doh! ***

Their keeper had a good game and we hit the bar again..... 2 points dropped tonight but we're still top.

Well I guess we can only hope that the players learn from that. It doesn't matter how much possession we have, if we don't put the ball in the net more than the opposition we won't win. Two points dropped. But at the moment it feels like a loss.

Definitely two points dropped which is a shame. But looking on the bridge side to be 8-9 league games in and unbeaten (with a majority of those wins) definitely shows that we are competitive and early form shows our intent. 

If i'm not mistaken both goals came from set pieces that we gave away unnecessarily. We seem to struggle defending set pieces. Our defending in open play seems somewhat better (but not great!). 

Another great goal from Billy Dunn who is having a huge impact on this team. 

One last mention for Eddie Dines who played as deep lying midfielder. I thought he was outstanding and seems a natural and able replacement for Robbo. In fact at points i thought i was watching Robbo with Dines' tenacious tackling, simple distribution and workload! Well done to him. 

What's a real shame is that whilst 6 out of 9 is a great start, in my honest opinion it should be 8 out of 9 as I think we were marginally better than corinthian casuals and spilled a 2 goal lead there, and we were much better than Guernsey and spilled a 2 goal lead also. 

Onwards and upwards but need to get tighter at the back, we are so slick going forward but could also do with finishing a few more chances off. 

If you want to put it in a bit more perspective, Casuals, who were 2nd after the weekend also lost a 2 goal lead against E Grinstead, who are below Guernsey.
