Slow start or sign of things to come?

My season starts in the Floods as I watch City 'tactically' defend for 90 mins and pick up a point at White Hart Lane. Not a bad result but still think Bobby Manc needs to get the boys to attack more away from home. Still lots of new players all finding their feet and hopefully the next few weeks will see us settle down and put together a run of results. Guess it's a little similar at WWR where Saints will also take time to bed in new players and systems. In both cases I'm sure success will be somewhere round the corner! At WWR Saturday's early FA Cup exit may not be the worst thing in the world as fixture congestion has in recent seasons proved our undoing. Although nice to have a decent cup run I'd rather have it in the Vase (where chance of winning is a posibility) and push-on in the UCL. Cogenhoe were on balance better than us on Sat and no complaints about the result really. We never got to grips with their runners at corners and found it difficult to clear our lines all afternoon. Not all bad though as new signing Dan Matson looked lively until being injured and Ricky as usual put himself about in the midfield. Quiet game from a few others but I'm sure as games progress the team will find its rythem and balance. So out of the cup before end of Aug but still lots to look forward to both at WWR and on the road. Hopefully Dan's injury will not be as bad as it initially looked and Lee Ellison will be back soon to bolster the midfield. Anyway we move on and Northampton Spencer away on Tues night. Sure 3pts will help put this weekend's dissapointments behind us - lets hope the lads deliver. Sure as always they will do their best. Good luck Saints. As for City - lets just buy the league and get it over with.
