With pre-season now finished with a record of 9 games, lost 7, drew 2, 2 goals for, and 29 against, which must be some sought of record for the football team. Although pre-season games are not a reflection for the main season, things are looking grim and ominous.
The first competitive game is away in the FA Cup this Saturday to Cobham of the combined Counties League. This usually would have been a non-event, but after last seasons shambles and a degrading defeat in the extra preliminary round of the Cup, you can only hope for some good fortune!
The first league game away to Northwood the following Saturday will be a real tough test. To win the South-Central League outright, you cannot afford to lose more than 4/5 games during the season. Even if you make the play-off final it will be a nightmare of a lottery. If promotion is gained it will need a recruitment of better players to cope with the next level. On the opposite side of equation Tooting could be fighting relegation to the depths junior football!
How did all of this happen???????
Since 2005: Quote “The challenge is to make Tooting & Mitcham United FC the best semi-professional club in the land, one built on sound foundations of good practice in all matters!! (You can’t make this up lol)
