Does anyone know who Wayne Giles is?

I thought Pacquette put in a shift and a half today, Johno not at the races today, Hamilton getting better every game,Hare and Parsons didn't feature much.A point against Ebbsfleet is going in the right direction!

Think the whole team should be applauded for putting a shift in today ,tactics spot on ,played 5 at the back in the first half ,then reverted to 4 in the second and attacked more ,could have gone behind when the ball was put in the net only for the referee to approach the linesman who had failed to put his flag up ,seems he may not have realised that the ball had been put in by the player standing offside ,doesn't always happen that a goal is given then disallowed ,shame that Simpemba got booked ,we make it that is 9 so very near another suspension ,bearing in the mind the money and resources that Ebbsfleet we have to pleased that we matched them and clearly heading in the right direction ,can we keep Raymond fore the rest of the season please !

Striker, spot on about pacquete he was a warrior today as was simpemba who got the better of sheringham in the air most of the time. Tommy once again, spot on with his tactics and the much lauded ebbsfleet were made to look very ordinary at times. We might even have won it, we had enough half chances.
I have to say that the ruled out ebbsfleet goal was one of the strangest decisions i ever saw. The guy was definitley offside but the lino was not up with play and the ref was even further away. The crowd muttered, the lino did not put his flag up but strangley the ref decided to come over and speak to him. Maybe the lino had a guilt trip, who knows but you take any kind of luck at this level. The lino should also have flagged for the foul mouthed disgusting verbal attack on him by the no 11 but maybe he didnt hear the stream of swear words of the worst kind that came out of his mouth, although myself and several others did. Acouple of weird decisions later on and i am thinking maybe the 11 was right......just jesting.
We are moving in the right direction, if someone told me at the beginning of the season we would only lose 4 times by the end of november i would have doubted that as a sane possibility
Marvin was awseome today again player of the year so far?

Sounds like a very useful point against good opposition.

Borough's position slightly false at the moment. If you use points per game, to take out the effect of games in hand, Borough are 9th, not 8th, and if you multiply it all out to 18 games (to match the number St. Albans and Wealdstone have played) they'd be five points off the play-offs rather than one, on current form.

But it's all tight at the moment - right down to Sutton in 16th.

2 points from the 2 games with Ebbsfleet this season, before the season i wouldn't of seen us getting even 1 point against one of the favourites to go up this year. Definitely 1 point gained not 2 dropped, great to see Gav on the scoresheet again! Had some brilliant performances lately, lets home we can keep this form going into the new year! Up the boro
