Following a game online

I am still not well enough to get to the New Windmill Ground (apart from anything else, I can't drive). Recently, the Brakes have suffered setbacks against local rivals (the Bardsmen and the Pilgrims, the latter apparently not being very pleasant). You can't expect to win every game in football, but are the wheels coming off?

It's a strange experience following a game through tweets. Some argued that we were playing well against a resilient Chippenham, others that we were poor and all hope of the title had gone. Strange how negative fans sometimes are about their own team.

So I was heartened by the report in today's Non-League Paper. It said that the Brakes 'were much improved from their disappointing Christmas results ... the hosts were putting together some neat passing football.' And Leamington are still top, albeit on goal difference from Hitchin, but they have played one more game.'
