WEDNESDAY UPDATE - Can't add to much to what others have said - the effort IS there - but the basic mistakes are being punished, and this is having a big hit on the "on-field confidence" causing changes back to the "hoof" mentality - and some unnecessary "panic stations" - - plus a concentration thing - we ARE conceding close to half-time/full-time rather a lot - a small confidence-building/relaxation event would cover this ("Rag" on a Friday/Saturday morning to see how the hard-core fans cope with it - see how Topsy concentrates for the "full seven hours" - just a thought Gerry !!!).

I'll be honest - I've not even looked at the attendance last night - I was 5 minutes late, but the atmosphere seemed really "flat" from the start - which I guess again doesn't help the confidence on the pitch - the taxi cab that was the Woodley fan base (no disrespect) made a damn site more noise. Again I think we're back to the "our fans make more noise away from home" syndrome - but hasn't that always been ??




Here's an "STS" exclusive - an early effort from Lee Connor nestling in the arms of Liam Higginbottom - who's that Welsh chappie top right ?!?!?!?!?

Still - 'twas only the FA Cup - we weren't gonna win that one were we ?? Means we now have a free date on 15th September - no doubt a "re-arranged" will kick in - but myself and Mrs Smiffy will be visiting the mother-in-law that weekend - twas pre-arranged (and now just happens to fit in with the Belper Town v Causeway United game in the "only the FA Cup" round that we're not in....had we gone through I'd have been hoping for Hallam, as Sheffield to Derby is easy on the train - although rumour has it, a Hallam game will be played on a Friday night once again due to cricket team priorities (thanx to Aaron for that info - no bloody use to us now though is it - you Woodley fan you !!).

Ho - hum - now looking forward to a repeat on Saturday - this time it's three points rather than £1,000 though. I need an early night as well - three-and-a-half games in four days - and the camera-fiddling that goes with it - is starting to take its toll.

PS Thanks to Dave Bax for the "special" Ashton United progs - they'll be travelling with me on the 15th September !!
