HOWE TABOUN
STOTT
BASICALLY THE SAME TEAM THAT BEAT GATESHEAD THE WEEK BEFORE WITH ALEX COMING STRAIGHT BACK INTO THE LINE UP AND HOWE MAKING FIRST START FOR THE SEASON FOR MISSING STODDS.
GREAT START WHEN TABOUN SCORED A HALF SCISSOR KICK 20 MINUTES INTO THE GAME TO PUT THE AWAY SIDE 1-0 UP THEN CAME A SECOND AS THE BLUES WERE FLINGING THE BALL INTO THE BOX LIKE STOKE ALL GAME PULLED OFF WHEN JOHNSON PICKED OUT IAN DOUGLAS AT HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT HE HAD SCORED FOR 2-0 AND TO GET HIS 6TH OF THE SEASON. HALF TIME CAME AND SHOWED THAT THE LADS DIDN'T LISTEN WHEN ASSISTANT COACH STEVE BREWSTER CLEARLY SAY THE NEXT TEN MINUTES IS VITAL DON'T CONCEED . THE LADS CAME BACK ONTO THE PITCH 5 MINUTES IN WALDRIDGE BREAK AND DOUGLAS GAVE AWAY A SLOPPY FREEKICK EDGE OF THE BOX LEFT HAND SIDE A CURLED FREEKICK CAME IN THEN MCDONALD HEADS IT INTO HIS OWN NET. MINUTES LATER WALDRIDGE WERE GETTING THE FEEL OF THINGS AS ANOTHER DEADY CROSS AS MCDONALD NEARLY GOT HIS BRACE AS HE VOLLYS THE BALL JUST OVER THE BAR. AGAIN BLUESTONE COULDN'T HANDLE THE PRESSURE AND LADS LOOKING EXTREMELY TIRED WALDRIDGE GET THEIR WELL DESERVED EQUILIZER. 2-2 . THERRE WAS ONLY GUNNA BE ONE WINNER AFTER THAT AS THE WALDRIDE MIDFIELDER WASN'T CLOSED DOWN EDGE OF THE BOX WAS MADE TO SHOT AS THE WEAK SHOT WENT AND BOBBLED OVER FARRELLS HANDS FOR 3-2 AS IT STAYED THAT SCORE . INTRODUCING MELDRUM WASN'T ENOUGH AS HE CAME ON AND WITH ONLY A FEW TOUCHES STRIKES THE WOODWORK ,GOALKEEPER FARRELL CAME UP LAST 5 MINUTES AND NEARLY GOT ON THE END OF A WELL FLOATED BALL IN BY DOUGLAS BUT IT WASN'T TO BE , THESE TEAMS MEET LATER NEXT MONTH IN THE SEMI FINAL OF THE KEN ATKINSON MEMORIAL TROPHEY AND SHOULD BE A GREAT ENCOUNTER.
GAMEPOINTERS - FINE START TO GO 2-0 UP ,HOWES SMART FOOTBALL , CONCEEDING EARLY IN THE SECOND HALF ,THE LONG THROW GAME DIDN'T PULL OF AS MOST WANTED, TABOUN THE ENGINE , NEEDED MELDRUM ON SOONER, TIRED LEGS ALL GAME AS IT SHOWED .
QUOTE OF THE DAY - "EAR LADS WE GETTING BULLIED OFF THE PARK BY A BUNCH OF PAPER BOYS " BY B-MCKENNA - TRUE FACT!
CHERRY KNOCKER OF THE WEEK - TOM FARRELL ALL OUR THE PITCH LIKE THE WIND (OUR GOALY).
DANGER VIEW - "FROM WHERE I WAS STANDING DON'T THINK OUR MIDFIELD PROTECTED OUR DEFENCE WELL ENOUGH. OUR DEFENCE HAS TAKEN SOME STICK OVER THE SEASON BUT FOR ME NOT THIS TIME. CAN'T BELEIVE NO ONE LISTENED TO BREWSTER THE BEAR CLEARLY SAID KEEP IT TIGHT FIRST TEN AS THEY SCORED TWO QUICK GOALS MIND ONE OF THEM THE REFS FAULT AS HE POINTED FOR A GOALKICK BUT GOTTA PLAY TO THE WHISTLE , I DIDN'T LIKE THE FACT OF THAT OF THEM YOUNG LADS PUSHING US OF THE BALL AND US NOT FIGHTING HARD ENOUGH FOR EACH OTHER. THE LADS THAT STOOD OUT FOR ME WAS PAUL HOWE LOVES THE SIMPLE BALL AND THE TEAM LOOKED GREAT WHEN HE GOT THE BALL ROLLING AND JOE TABS NEVER STOPPED RUNNING UNLUCKY REVENGE IN THE CUP I SAY"..
NEXT GAME = AGAINST WILLOW POND IN THE CUPNEXT WEEK AT THE SILKY DEL RAY.
