Gilbert The Gull on his blog said that the forums were struggling, while I would not go as far to say the TFF was, it has not been as good as it could have been this week. I know there is not so much to talk about TUFC wise, but even the threads that have been about our club or the players have not received the posts you might expect.
Many of the members on here who have been excellent contributors over the last year have logged on every day but have not posted for two weeks or more. It is important that we all play our part and keep the forum as active as possible. At this time of the year we just have to find other subjects to discuss and the forum has been set up to provide boards that cover nearly every subject possible.
It can’t be left for just a few members to keep the forum working, you have to put something in if you want to get anything out and it takes no more than 10 minutes to make a half decent post. I do thank all those who have posted this week and some have not been what I call regular posters but they have played their part this week by making good posts on the forum.
Please do not think I’m moaning, all I’m asking is for your help to keep the forum working and having interesting posts on it all everyone’s enjoyment, as someone who loves the forum even I have been close to boredom on here this week.
This weeks winner has been a member for most of the forums life and one the forum is so pleased to have as a member, not known for making long posts as such but always offers good view points and will let you know if he does not agree with any comments you might make and that is how it should be.
It was close in the end and Longeatongull looked like our winner, but he was piped at the post, maybe next time longeaton
This week’s winner is Rob, well done and thanks for all your regular contributions you make on the forum.

One of the posts Rob made this week.
One the problems that Sills might have encountered when moving to Oxford and Hereford is that he went straight-in to those clubs and it probably took a while for him to adjust - by which time he has played a number of games and the moron supporters get on his back, further damaging his confidence.
I would bet that if he had got into the leage with Aldershot the season before he joined Oxford (who were on a dreadful run when he signed for them - he couldn't have joined at a worse time!) he would have scored a good number of goals and wouldn't have returned to the BSP until the tail-end of his career.
I reckon we'll get at least 15 goals from Sills - and a lot more in all-round contribution besides.
Spot on. Like all good strikers - cliche time - he needs confidence. I like the way this thread is prefaced with an apology, as it's almost something I, for one, have dreaded debate on. Not here necessarily. But from 2.50pm of our first home League game. (Particularly should this be either our first game or he didn't score away the fixture before)
I don't bang on endlessly about the effect of crowds, but I'm about to.
With this man - where there's adulation, there's effectiveness. It happened at Camberley, but less so Basingstoke, where he was loaned out and scored for fun at that level early on in his career. It happened at the Rec and it has happened with us.
Hereford and Oxford were blips that happened to be League blips, in my opinion also. Centre-halves are generally better in League 2 - no, there are less poor Centre-halves in the bottom quarter of the League - but he has got change out of some decent pairings this last two seasons.
The only person I saw do a "proper job" on Sillsy was a Mark Albrighton showstopper (in the ugliest sense) back at Plainmoor in 2007-8 over the last two seasons. Though sure, Sillsy had off-days on occassion too, where it might seem he hadn't got the measure of the opposition in quite the same way as some of his masterclasses in leading the line.
The man has a personal hoodoo as Chris Hayes mentioned regarding both he and Nicho, when it comes to the League.
The one who will feel that the most is the striker, in my opinion. Some may see it differently. Score early and his doubts/frustrations and those of "a section" at Stade de Plainmoor get bigger and bigger and bigger. Score early and it's 15+. Get him a quick and effective striker alongside and he'll be matching Nicho for assists.
A Sillsy's for life. Not just for Christmas.
