Re: DIVISION TWO THREAD
Relating to Sanctuary v BP last night, to be fair we were making substitutions every ten minutes with players coming on in the position of the player they replaced rather than their chosen position. So not a totally accurate picture, the fact that we started the better was that we started with people in the right place on the pitch. A good first run out against a friendly bunch of lads, Bruce will aim to keep their defence tighter in future games I'm sure.
A few new players we've picked up look superb, a few more friendlies and we'll all gel together nicely

Re: DIVISION TWO THREAD
Ok I know i've done this already but I am bored and am still buzzing off of two good results v Div 1 teams.
So it is 3 weeks 2 days till the league kick off but who’s counting, we’ve had a few games under our belts and watched a bit of the competition so how do you think it will finish based on recent results team news etc:
Bristol Pistols – I had tipped them to be a surprise package and they may well do this, however I think after seeing them last week that it may be one season to early and they may struggle. Bruce and Phillipe are ones to watch.
BS4 – New management and new players. I can tell you now they won’t finish bottom like last year and they won’t finish pointless. They will be at the bottom end of the table I feel but I think if Ian can get organised this season they may well do a Welstock or Hayhill and go from bottom to promotion in 2009/2010. Speaking to Ian he knows he has a task ahead. I think BS4 will have a strong second half to the season. Keep an eye on Jed Begley .
CCC B&B – Student team who excelled above anyones expectations to almost make promotion last year. They should have a similar season but inconsistent team may mean a mid table finish in a tight league. One to watch Neil at the back
Gordano – After meeting and playing with some of the boys in Nailsea cup, I think that they will struggle this season maybe more than we’d think, the boys didn’t seem optimistic (mind games?) and I can see them being rooted to the bottom, sounds like they haven’t added anyone. Watch Ian tricky player.
Hayhill (Hope) – May take a while for these two teams to mix, however they will have a lot of experence between them, Hayhill finished 3rd last year, I cannot see them matching that this time around a mid table finish.
Hillfields – We have had a good preseason(so far), we have a great bunch of lads now and anything but promotion would be seen as a footballing failure to us. One to watch – not telling!
Israel – Expect them to have some good individuals but whether they will gel in time I am unsure, think they will probably win more than they loose but will finish in the middleish.
Kensington – With a few 07/08 Christchurch players I see them as the strongest of the new boys and may well push for promotion, maybe losing out just in 5th place.
Rock – Have to be favourites seeing they chose to drop down a division after a good season in Div 1. I cannot see them losing many games and am unsure just how many players they have lost, lumps the only one I know of. Expect them to finish top.
SAS – After they were billed for great things last year and didn’t live up to it, they must be one of the favourites this time around, hillfields bogey team, can see them right up in the mix.
The Sanctuary – Had an ok season last year, but losing Bruce and simon in defence and Christy up front I think they may struggle. Nigel is a clever manager so I don’t expect them to lie down and take a beating, but he said he has an inconsistent team available. Bar a few new signings can see them near the bottom. – Joe Lee wasted in central defence.
Welton – Will be a tough team to beat who will push for promotion, seem to have got over relegation and seem confident. Lenny will whip em into shape.
Widcombe – Had a good year last year, I am not sure they’ll exceed that (sorry Rob) but they impressed in Nailsea and Rob says they are flying so I can see being near the top half based on Robs assessment.
1. Rock
2. Hillfields
3. Welton
4. SAS
5. Kensington
6. Widcombe
7. CCC bath & Bristol
8. Hayhill
9. Israel
10. The Sanctuary
11. BS4
12. Bristol Pistols
13. Gordano
Please not this is simply based on talking to some teams, their preseason scores and the 2007/08 season. So please don’t be offended. Will probably change again in 3 weeks or so.

Re: DIVISION TWO THREAD
I honestly think Rock won't go up. I think Hillfields have a very good chance but i will also fancy my chances with SAS.

Re: DIVISION TWO THREAD
Dunno Lumps, is Paul Freeman still playing for Rock? If so, they have a goalscorer who will score loads in Div 2 giving them a good chance.

Re: DIVISION TWO THREAD
Out of interest Lumps why did you choose not to play for them this year?

Re: DIVISION TWO THREAD
lol are we back onto this subject??? I wanted to rebuild myself because at the time i did not feel good enough so i have been doing a lot of work in pre season and other things to try and rebuild myself also there were some other factors that made my decision too.
Plus one more thing that i felt it was time for me to move on. Now i would never say that Rock were bad to me they were good to me and gave me the break i needed and become the player i am today.

Re: DIVISION TWO THREAD
Crofty, nice to see a complete overhaul of your original league predictions.
As I previously stated, as pre-season and the season progresses expect Widcombe to inch even higher than the 6th place you have elevated them to.
Rusty, good work on the bleep test last night. Fitness coming along nicely boss.
