@BTFC Great result and through to the next round. Can only beat what s in front of you etc. Shame we couldn’t use more players due to injuries. On to Saturday which will be tougher.

@BTFC Take a point away. Missing a couple of key players too although Ollie P had a solid game at the back.Maybe could have had more first half when we were better but they improved second half. Brilliant away turn out and 2 chances to use the squad coming up ahead of Truro away!

@Dag_RedFC Imagine being a full time side with a massive budget and all you’ve got is long throws to the big man. Absolute 💩

[John L @JohnL_chat]

@BTFC Absolutely brilliant result. Well done chaps.

[John L @JohnL_chat]

@BTFC Missed chances early in the game probably cost us two points. Disappointing to concede two set pieces especially the 2nd which looked horrible. Take the point and move on given down to ten for the last 20 or so. Thought Hampton worked really hard. Onto Saturday.

@BTFC Got better as the game went on. We are so dangerous on the break. Comfortable in the end. Hoping for a home draw in the next round. Onto WSM!

Another day. Another day of the 05.31 @greateranglia train turning up late at Billericay. Getting like the buses where there’s a theoretical timetable but transport just turns up at random. 🚂

[John L @JohnL_chat]

@BTFC Fantastic result and very good performance. Enjoying watching us play. Well done chaps.

@BTFC Brilliant result and performance. Key not to concede before half time to let them back in. Managed the game comfortably second half and worthy winners. Well done chaps.

@BTFC If you select a team to lose don’t be surprised when you lose.

Episode 2 of No Man's Land: The Gaffer.

The Essex Senior League is full of people who give it far more than ninety minutes a week. Managers who've been doing it for decades, for the love of it. This is the story of one of them. Craig Edwards.

Thirty seasons in management. A pro boxer before any of it. Five sons, two daughters, nine grandkids. And every Saturday, a changing room full of blokes who'd run through a brick wall for him.

We followed and mic’d up @cw_edwards for the start of the season @barkingfc: Tuesday night training, classroom sessions and a Saturday at home until the final whistle. This is what it takes to manage a football club together at this level, and why, after thirty years, he's still doing it.

Fair warning: it contains the language you'd expect at half-time.

@BTFC Take a point away having trailed twice. That said they were an ordinary big side who played channels and set pieces. We had some great chances and their keeper and some slightly wayward finishing kept them in it. I’m enjoying watching us play especially going forwards.

[John L @JohnL_chat]

@BTFC Outstanding first half. We absolutely battered them and looked a class apart. Not sure whether it was down to us or them but we couldn’t replicate that in the second half. We still had three or four golden chances to make it safe and thankfully we held firm at the back. + 3 👏

[John L @JohnL_chat]

@BTFC Tough game. They are going very well in the Isthmian. Pleased it’s at home. Incidentally for the away trippers amongst us Truro have a tough fixture too away at Merthyr Town.
