We take a look at the high & low points of the season so far!
The season started with a high point after the reds found themselves 1-0 at Burton Albion in their first ever Football League match, but a Nicola Saric popped up with an equaliser to send the reds fans home happy.
An early low point came in the league cup home defeat to Portsmouth, despite a battling second half the reds went down 4-0 in front of a dissapointing 2765 crowd.
The highest point so far would come at home to Tranmere Rovers where the lads recorded their first Football League win with a 5-1 thumping.
Also the reds were picking up points in the league & beat MK Dons on penalties at the Broadfield. The high point came when the Reds pulled off a good 2-1 victory at home to Aberdeen in a random home friendly.
The lowest point of the season so far was the humilitating defeat to Millwall 6-0 in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. The reds left embaressed & shocked. Followed by a 4-1 home thumping by Port Vale aswell, but despite the rare away win at Wycombe the reds slouched to 3 straight defeats to Northampton, Maccelsfield & Chesterfield.
The FA Cup 2nd round draw was upon after a straight forward 3-0 victory at Canvey & an away trip to Carrow Road (Norwich) left the fans excited but weary. Expecting to get flounced the reds turned up with 1565 fans, an amazing effort! 2-0 down at half - time Blackmore brings on Richard Logan who sends the travelling fans in delight with an 86th minute equaliser after Obika had netted. This meant a replay opportunity for the Reds at the Broadfield.
With a 3-1 win at Lincoln the reds seemed confident and after the 3rd time of asking the match was played. 4996 fans turned up! a new club record but after a battling performance the reds were knocked out by an impressive 90th minute free-kick. This was a high point financially with the reds apparently clocking 100k for the match.
Since the match the reds have only won once in four against a deplted Burton Albion side.
