Fighting draw at Darlington

Leamington put in a fighting performance to achieve a 0-0 draw at Darlington today. They could have nicked it at the end. It was a better result than I expected. All credit to the 30 or so Brakes supporters who made the long journey up there. I see that one Darlo fan has tweeted, indignant at the draw, that we are the 'worst team in the division.'

Just a pity about our home form.

Leamington remain second from bottom, but on the same number of points as FC United of Manchester and Gainsborough Trinity. This season is going to be about beating the teams around us. If we can do that, we can survive.

The loan signing of Charley Edge from Colchester United is a positive move. It's entirely possible that the board have awakened from their Rip van Winkle 'its all about a new stadium overcoming a flawed business model' dream and realised that they have to think about what's happening on the pitch at the moment. No doubt they would say they do, but homilies about stadiums in the programme don't help to give that impression.
