Further to yesterday's post, today's the Trust Blog was going to be a
'DON'T PANIC'- type post similar to the one written prior to the Southport defeat, only to find a nice blog piece echoing the sentiments, so please read this if you haven't already;

So let's hope that this weekend sees us find our way again.
Meanwhile, a bit more about this afternoon's opponents: they are far from the best known side in this division, but here's what I have learned..... They beat Chelmsford and then Dover in last year's Conference South playoffs, but their manager then left to join Bristol Rovers as assistant boss. They replaced him with a 28 year old manager, assisted by a player-coach who is a Northern Ireland international. This season, they are far from making up the numbers or consolidating and have crept into the playoff places by virtue of taking points from promotion rivals Nuneaton and Alfreton, whilst ourselves, Gateshead, HAlifax and even Cambridge have ben experiencing ''blips''.
Random fact; ex-Crawley striker Matt Tubbs played much of his early career at Salisbury and banged in over 100 goals for them.
And finally just a reminder that now we have posted blogs about 4 of the Trust Board, watch this space for further profiles of those not yet featured, as over the next few days we aim to complete the set. Hopefully leaving you all more informed as to who is who. By all means, let us know instantly if you think you want to join our motley crue. We are keen to encourage involvement - the first step is becoming a Trust member, the other levels of involvement are helping out the Trust in some way and/or joining the Trust Board. All manner of skills, enthusiasm, ideas are sought!
Happy March; the games come thick and fast; let's hope the goals and points flow freely too; UTM!
