Mar-lower than they ever have been before

The name Marlow comes from the Old English for "Land left after a good draining".

Boro Walk Towers was given a good blowing by Doris this week and we lost our quill and parchment in the afterglow including the notes we made on wet bark about the Arsley game.

What we can remember is we decided to get an Über all the way to Hitchin and back, drank Prosseco/Cava/Asda's own fizzy wine all the way there (other supermarkets own brand fizz is available). We were the ones in fur coats swinging our magnums around and shouting about "Winkies".

But we can recall Gillette smashing his load into the ballbag from the spot being the only points on the board for either team so we must've won. Hurrah!

A couple of days worth of hangovers and  we were back to our usual selves. Quite frankly we were disgusted at the lack of love for the "Dim-eatsy Pie-ate" #WayneShaw tweet.

Anyway, the crux of last weekend was three more points and we got a Cox on the pitch. And we shall christened him "Butcher" because none of you got the genius of the Mixu PATelainen pun.

Today sees the visit of Marlow, who are most famous for their 1-0 win against Farnborough in 2016. Their second most famous moment was playing Tottenham in the F.A Cup in 1993, but it wasn't quite such a glorious visit as our own trip to West Ham the year before.

(you seldom see players shake hands after scoring anymore)

Another interesting tit bit from Marlow's history is that the author of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley lived there for a time, and after our visit there earlier in this season I can see where she got her inspiration for the monster from, fnar fnar.

With them currently sat in 5th place this is potentially the dress rehearsal for the Playoff Semi Final, but things can change. Probably not for us though, we're ten points clear of 3rd so safe as houses.

The Lowians proved stubborn opponents last time out so no quarter shall be expected given today on what looks like will be a quagmire surface and windy conditions. Quality football probably at a premium then.

Pat "Mixu" Cox (balls to your poll decision) will probably make his home debut at some point and new loanee Jordan "GoalDen" Graham goes straight in to the squad after training with us this week.

We aren't going to go out on a limb and predict a haul of goals. Several 1-0 wins suggest we've tightened up like Simon Cowell's face after botox before the Brits, but scoring has been about as free flowing as Jamie Vardy. Hopefully Mixu and GoalDen will change that today.

Going for a narrow win again 1-0. Cox to get off the mark.

As always....

COME ON YOU YELLOWS YELLOWS YELLOWS!!
