I hope Murphy scores having broken his duck, but I reckon a draw will be a good result for us. We must smash a weak Aldershot on Tuesday though.
I can see Murphy going on scoring run now. I agree a point wouldn't be bad result but if phil brown and the team have aspirations of getting play off place then we have to get 3 points at places like Halifax. With poor aldershot coming up and Torquay side who half the team they were last season..... their opportunity for us in the next 3 games to pick up maximum points and go on winning run.

With only one win so far,a draw is a bad result.With Ron now able to give good financial backing to.....a very experienced manager (I’m being kind here),and our excellent support,we really ought,in a League of this standard, to be in contention for the one place in the table that really counts.

Draw wouldn't be end of the world but if sufc have got those aspirations to challenge and be at right end of the league, we need to be going to the likes of Halifax and winning! I'm sure Brown knows it to..... with winnable fixtures coming up, its real opportunity to put a winning run together and as Brown likes to say (put marker down). Today game and the next 2 will give us indication what this team is capable of.
 
A draw would have been alright had we beaten Wealdstone. Those are the teams we have to get the wins against. Teams like Halifax who are also competing for the playoffs, are the tougher sides. Therefore, draws are not the end of the world. However, because we didn't get the win, getting the 3 points here is now more needed.
