Only my second game (didn’t make Ascot) and I’m still a bit unsure what to make of everything, if I’m honest.

I’m delighted we are at RPV. They are super hosts and the setup is really fun, with the outside bar and the double terrace in the second half.

K’s also play some nice stuff - when not under any pressure - and some of the goals we’re scoring are enjoyable to be there to witness.

But I have to say, despite all of that, I do remain pretty shocked at the level of football. It feels like when a player does something good, it’s almost inevitable that the next thing they do is going to be bad…just because of the law of averages and the level we are at. So for example one of our wingers traps a through ball brilliantly, and that should be thrilling, but it sort of isn’t exciting becuase you just know he’s going to shank it out for a goal kick. Or a midfielder plays a beautiful through ball that’s a real wow moment, and then the striker lamely chips the ball straight into the keeper’s chest.

It means there’s very little intensity - and intensity is what Kingstonian Football Club is all about. Or at least has been about.

So I dunno. I’m enjoying it for sure, but it’s not k’s as we have grown up to know it.
