This was a quote said by Sir Alex Ferguson – and if Massey’s manage to get results like this without playing at their best – they will be in with a decent shout!
A full squad of 14 turned up at Tanners Lane with a few changes coming in, ALM and Granddad Foster were both rested with Wells in a front three with Jonny and Bliock, and Reeve playing his CDM behind Sam and Will.
If I could describe the team in one word it would be “Hungover” – with half the squad attending Quinneys final weekend as an unmarried man! The first half was very even, with neither side creating too much – a good chance was missed by Jonny Lee, but other than that nothing else was really created for the front man. Left Back Jeb Brown got injured and was subbed for Jamie Rollason, and other than a few long balls over the top – CV didn’t really trouble the Massey’s defensive unit.
Half Time came and Reeve pulled himself off (not for the first time) as there was no real need for anyone to sit in front of the back four.
Again the second half was a close affair with only 2 clear cut chances were had – the first came to CV – after a decent cross – Nane was caught in no man’s land and the striker planted his header just where Tuck couldn’t reach…..but he did – his new slim line haircut – (Joleon Lescott) served its purpose and from nowhere he clawed the ball from the line and away from his goal!
Top Top Save!
The defence were very impressive and it looked like it was going to be a 0-0 draw – Wells was pulled for ALM who injected a bit of pace to the side – Wells went straight home after the game and did less work at home that he did at football – to the detriment of his Pineapple Ciroc!
With less than 5 minutes left Jonny found the ball at his feet and probably should have had a shot – but proved that not all strikers are selfish and squared the ball to Block – it took an age for him to pull the trigger, but he waited for the keeper to go to ground and then stuck it right in the top bag!
1-0
Massey’s hung on for the last few minutes to claim a vital 3 points and a very hard earnt win!
Final Score – CV 0-1 Massey’s
Att 12 + 1 Dog (5 Away)
MoM – Could have gone to Tuck for his wonder save – but for his part in the clean sheet, this week it goes to Chimp – he just needs his voice to break!
Taxi – Block originally got this – but after Jonny pointed out that he was bleeding – the slap that he got in the chops was painful. Wells also could have got this for nearly having to be put in the recovery position again! But Taxi goes to someone who did well to turn up! If its not bad enough that he is a dirty Brummy – his side only went and lost 8-0, yes that’s EIGHT-NIL – at Home to Bournemouth – so Buzz – this week – you get Taxi mate!
