Just amazing to think that team was in relegation trouble, fast forward a year and virtually the same team was almost champions and in the trophy semis
Hill taking over and turning that team around has echoes of when Lippiat took over from Castle

This is going to be a very tough game they have a very good home record, got a feeling we will go though and pack the midfield and try and grind out a draw!

No disrespect to the Late Jimmy Neighbour, but most of those players played for him and did nothing! It was a good team though and Hill got them playing. It remains to be seen what the current team will do and if Owsy will get them doing it! This Saturday's game is a tough one to call. Oxford are going well but may have their minds on the cup.

Yep, Just like Colin Lippiat got Steve Castles team playing, despite what people say on here, some people just aren't managers

I forgot to put the team down at the end of the report. You are right though. That was some team. And only one of them still playing for us in his second spell.

From Owsy's Twitter:

If its a stamina thing or a motivational thing that are the causes of us going from winning to losing positions then it might need a change of coach rather than a change of manager. Only a theory.

Does anyone know today's line-ups against Oxford City? Jupp; Lewis, Cutchey, Gray, Watts; Ehui, Ijaha, Matthews, Chrysanthou; Furlong, Shields. A bit of a 'nothing' game so far by all accounts. Sound like same old, same old to me. Oxford hit the post as well before they took the lead. I have to say I do find the team selection very perplexing to say the least, but what do I know? Gray is James Gray, ex-Arlesey and coach to the MWY team.

Thank-you for that update. The weakness does seem to be at the back so there has been a change there. I must say that Jupp hasn't been looking the fittest....changes have been made to all the outfield players but not the keeper and we're still playing poorly and losing-maybe the answer is there?!?!

Thanks for the update Boomer.
I agree, it does sound like a strange line-up.

I would say the weakness is pretty much everywhere except the keeper. I think both Jupp and Viner have done ok but there is a limit what they can do when everything is crumbling in front of you. Notwithstanding the fact that a number of players are just not good enough for this level and the manager needs to act on it, the main problem, I feel is lack of leadership on the pitch. Also if the manager is talking about lack of concentration in the latter stages, then, to me, that is showing a lack of fitness.

Howell did say he would make changes according to the Herts Ad. Lets see if they can pull this one round in the second half

Not one shot on goal from the Saints the whole of the first half. The subs are Bakare, Hart, Walker, Viner and Haisley.

Viner hasn't had a chance at showing himself at a league game yet has he? He's done so well for the reserves keeping 4 clean sheets in a row i think, is very commanding and has a great kick on him-which set up the only goal scored in the cup against broxbourne tuesday night. With all the changes you think he'd be given a chance at a couple games. Doesn't seem like it would do us any harm!!
