Before reading the pre match article how many of us knew what SYCOB stood for?

Beaconsfield wanted to change their name with effect from this season.

However, this was not approved by the authorities and has been deferred to the start of next season, 2016/17.

Chance to go top again this weekend with St Ives and CSP both away to tough opposition at Northwood and Potters Bar, and then consolidate on Tuesday as ours is the only midweek match.

I 100% agree it's a chance for us to go top let's win today.

They drew 1-1 at Egham last week and prior to that won 3 in a row all at home. Just one away win in 8 games,and that was against Arsely 5-2 back in August.Like a lot of teams challenging they are inconsistent but on their day will give us a good game .

Today's line up 17-Finlay, 2-Wilkinson, 3-Brown, 4-Gordon, 5-Dolman, 6-Harris, 7-Hall, 8-Bunting, 9-Lorraine 10- Berwick, 11-Hoban

Today's subs 12-Da Costa, 13-Vitue, 14-Herbert, 15-Appleton, 16-Ackroyd

New signing Appleton on the bench today.

No Liversedge or Butt again?

1-1. They scored in the 89th minute after some comically bad defending.

Courtney Herbert is an absolute fraud, he's genuinely useless. Offers nothing and is one of the worst players I've seen in a Diamonds shirt ever. Once again, Claudio was selfish, greedy and always looked to beat his man instead of getting rid of the ball.

With the pretence of where Herbert has come from he has been disappointing, but I wouldn't say he offers nothing as he looked a threat when he came on. Really should have scored in the one on one situation. Think Peaksy will have to bring seeing out games to the attention during training, as that is the forth time we've thrown away points at the death. Didn't deserve the victory but when you get so close you should really see it out. Very difficult to choose a man of the match from that one, maybe Finlay for the first and Hoban for the second. Poor match but we didn't loose and you cant win them all
