ROSE
HURRELL GRAINGER BLAND MCDONALD
DOUGLAS BIRD DONKIN STOTT FORTUNE
BATES
GOALKEEPER ALAN ROSE CAME BACK IN TO THE STARTING LINE UP FOR BATES WHO TOOK HIS POSITION BACK UPFRONT. GRAINGER,MCDONALD AND FORTUNE ALSO RETURED.
BLUESTONE COULDN'T GET TOO DOWN HEARTENED BY THEIR DEFEAT THE WEEK BEFORE AND HAD A JOB TO DO BY GETTING BACK TO WINNING WAYS. THE BLUES ATTACKED FROM THE START AND LOOKED LIKE SCORING EVERYTIME GOING FORWARD AND TOOK THE LEAD EARLY ON WHEN FORTUNE BOMBED DOWN THE RIGHT TAKING ON THE FULL BACK AND SQUARED THE BALL TO BIRD TO TAPPED THE BALL HOME FOR 1-0 , SLACK DEFENDING COULD OF SAW PARK VIEW EQUILIZE WHEN THE TALL FORWARD PUT THE BALL WIDE . AGAIN FORTUNE GOT HOLD OF THE BALL AND BOMBED ON AND GOT THE GOAL HE DESERVED AS HE SCORED WITH HIS RIGHT FOOT FOR TWO . MCDONALD COULD OF MADE IT THREE WHEN HE RAN DOWN THE LEFT PLAYED A ONE-TWO WITH DOULAS BUT A TAME SHOT DIDN'T THREATEN . BATES SHOWED HIS MAGIC WHEN HE ALSO COULD OF MADE IT THREE WHEN HE BROUGHT THE BALL DOWN FROM THE SKY AND THUNDER BOLTED A 30 YARDER WHICH THE KEEPER DID WELL TO SAVE. FORTUNE DID MAKE IT THREE 10 MINUTES BEFORE HALFTIME WHEN A BALL OVER THE TOP SEEN HIM IN ON GOAL TO SLIP THE BALL PAST THE KEEPER 3-0. THE BLUES KNEW THAT THEIR OPPONENTS WERE A WEAK TEAM , BUT WERN'T PLAYING TO THEIR FULL POTENTIAL AND REALLY COULD OF BEEN IN DOUBLE FIGURES BEFORE HALF TIME IF THEIR FRONTLINE WAS WATCHING THEIR LINES AS THEY HAD BEEN CAUGHT OFFSIDE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE SECOND HALF SAW NO CHANGES TO THE TEAM AND WE HAD BEEN TOLD TO KEEP A CLEAN SHEET ,WHICH SHOULD OF BEEN A FORMALITY AGAINST THIS TEAM. THE BLUES NOW SHOULD OF TRYED TO PLAY FOOTBALL MORE BUT THE SHAPE WENT ALL AWOL AS PLAYERS WERE ALL WANTING TO GET ON THE GOAL SHEET THIS WAS NOT WHAT WAS REQUIRED AT THIS STAGE OF THE MATCH AND GAPS BEGAN TO APPEAR IN THE MIDFILED AND THE DEFENCE WAS STRETCHED WHEN REALLY THEY SHOULD OF NOT BEEN TROUBLED . MORE GOALS DID COME WHEN DOUGLAS ADDED TO HIS SEASONS TALLY WHEN FORTUNE WHO WAS ON A HAT-TRICK PASSED IT TO HIM INSTEAD AS HE TAPPED THE BALL IN FOR 4. SUPERSUB MCKENNA WAS AGAIN INTRODUCED INTO THE ACTION WITH 30 TO GO AS DONKIN GAVE WAY AND BATEMAN DROPPED BACK INTO THE HOLDING POSITION . THE FIFTH CAME AS BIRD DONE ALL THE HARD WORK GOT INTO A GREAT CROSSING POSITION AND PUT THE BALL ONTO MCKENNA'S HEAD AS THE LAD DONE IT AGAIN . THE TEAM WERE DELIGHTED FOR HIM AS HE ALWAYS DELIVERS THE GOODS . THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN CAME WHEN MAN OF THE MATCH FORTUNE SET UP DOUGLAS AGAIN AS HE PUT HIS FOOT RIGHT THROUGH THE BALL AND BLASTED THE NET OFF FOR 6-0 .
GOOD GAMEPOINTERS - , DOUGLAS AND BIRD AS USUAL PROVIDING THE FIREPOWER , FORTUNE GIVING FULLBACKS NIGHTMARES , 2ND HALF BATES SOLID PERFORMANCE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK , MCKENNA AGAIN MAKING HIS MARK & A ALAN ROSE CLEAN SHEET.
BAD GAMEPOINTERS - BEING CAUGHT AT LEAST 15 TIMES OFFSIDE , PLAYERS NOT KEEPING THEIR POSTIONS IN THE 2ND HALF , GOT TO BE MORE DISCIPLINED WHEN IN THE DRIVING SEAT,BETTER TEAMS WILL EXPLOIT THIS .
MAGIC MIDGE - " THE BLUES MAY CRY OVER SPILT MILK MOST WEEKS WHEN TABOUN CAN'T MAKE IT , BUT FORTUNE RETURED TO THE TEAM AND THIS LAD WAS SENSATIONAL ON THE DAY. A TRUE TEAM PLAYER WHEN HE WAS ON A HAT-TRICK AND PASSED THE BALL TO DOUGLAS BECAUSE WAS IN A BETTER POSITON WAS AWSOME TO WATCH AND HOW PROPER FOOTBALL SHOULD BE PLAYED ,CLASS MR .FORTUNE" (2 GOALS - 3 ASSISTS)
