Egham were the most limited team I have seen this season, and without a drastic improvement I cannot see them surviving. If one or two of our numerous chances been converted in the first half it could a been a hatfull.

So, yes, a welcome 3 points and that is all I can say about the game as Egham were so poor.
I'm sure we are all desperate to get out of this division, the difference in quality of opposition is more than you would expect from a normal relegation, it is more like dropping two divisions. Whether or not we can achieve promotion remains to be seen. I just don't want us to settle at this really low level and for it to become the new normal.

Andy Mac, couldn’t agree more with all the contents of your posting.   Dreadful league and the Terrors (what a waste of terminology) are part of the low life performances in this league. Basically, South Central is now the equivalent of the Combined Counties League. The only real hope for promotion is to win the league outright.   The FA shambles of the promotion play-offs at this level offers little hope at all!

  Without some aspiration for investment, ambitions or even a plan to take the team forward, the current predicament will surely become the norm.  How can a team with a great past, first class facilities and a great fan catchment area be in such a mess!

I don't think many of our performances have been low life, to be honest. They've been performances of a young side, with a young couple of lads at the helm, trying to play decent football among a load of yard dog lads who want to lump it. I haven't been coming to TMUFC for long, so have no investment in the rich history of the club- but I think that the way its currently being run is cause for some optimism. Hopefully other talented young players will note the success of the club in terms of getting lads seen by league clubs and earning trials, which will attract them here to play their football.

Last season was a kick in the arse, but don't forget that in September/October we were genuinely worried about successive relegations. Now, we're looking up at a playoff spot and, if not this season, mounting a proper tilt at it next year on this season's foundations. Our away form is the best in the division, and we're seeing some decent performances at home, without the results they deserve at times. I thoroughly believe those results will come.
