WELL GENTS THE FIRST HALF WAS FANTASTIC AND WE CRUSHED THEM WITH A DEVASTATING DISPLAY OF WHAT WE CAN DO WHEN WE ACTUALLY WARM UP AND LOOK INTERESTED. THE SECOND HALF WAS COMPLETLEY DIFFERENT STORY WITH US FACING THE UP HILL STRUGGLE AND A LOT OF OUR PLAYERS RUNNING OUT OF STEAM AS SO MUCH HAD BEEN PUT INTO THE FIRST HALF.
TO BE FAIR THOUGH WE PLAYED LIKE A UNIT AND BATTLED REALLY WELL GIVING THEM MAINLY LONG SHOT CHANCES WHICH IS CREDIT TO THE BACK FOUR WHO REALLY GRAFTED AND WORKED FOR EACH OTHER. RIPPER,PETE,FLAMER AND BONER BATTLED AWAY IN FRONT OF THEM WITH A SPECIAL MENTION TO PETE AND RIPPER FOR THERE 100% WORK RATE !!!
THE FIRST HALF WAS SUCH FUN AS WE REALLY LOOKED LIKE SCORING EVERYTIME WE ATTACKED WHICH WE HAVE LACKED IN RECENT MATCHES :( WE LOOKED UP FOR IT AND EVERY PLAYER WAS WINNING THERE INDIVIDUAL BATTLES WHICH WAS GREAT TO SEE. THE PRE MATCH WARM UP IS STAYING NOW AS WE NEED TO START GAMES LIKE THAT EVERY WEEK.
DAVE SCORED WITH HIS RIGHT FOOT !! RIPPER GOT A NICE SOLO GOAL AFTER A MAZY RUN AND BONER SCORED A GREAT DIVING HEADER EVEN THOUGH HE WAS A PISSED SHAMBLES AND COULD BARELY REMEMBER IT HAPPENING !!!
YEOMANS SADLY PULLED UP WITH HIS HAMSTRING AGAIN AND WAS QUICKLY TAKEN OFF TO TRY AND LIMIT THE DAMAGE BUT ITS LOOKING LIKE ANOTHER FEW WEEKS OUT WHICH WILL AGAIN BE A MASSIVE LOSS AS HE IS THE ONLY STRIKER WHO UNDERSTANDS HOW TO HOLD UP THE BALL !!
SEAGER CAME ON FOR HIM AND SPENT THE FIRST 20 MINUTES FALLING OVER AND SLIDING AROUND ON HIS ARSE BEFORE PULLING OFF A OVER HEAD KICK FROM OUTSIDE THE BOX WHICH ALMOST WENT IN !
AT HALF TIME WE DID NOT BOTHER TO HAVE A TEAM TALK AS EVERYONE THOUGHT THEY DID NOT NEED ONE AS WE ARE JUST SO GOOD ! BUT AGAIN ANOTHER LESSON BOYS WE NEED TO HAVE A CHAT AT HALFTIME AND GET MOTIVATED AGAIN OR WE COME OUT SLOW LIKE WE DID IN THE SECOND HALF AND HAVE A TOUGH SECOND 45 MINUTES. ANY OF YOU WHO PLAYED THAT SECOND HALF WILL KNOW WHAT I MEAN AS IT WAS HARD WORK AND WE DEFENDED FOR LARGE AMOUNTS OF TIME WITH NO HOLD UP PLAY GIVING US MUCH OF A BREAK. CHS COULD SEE WE WHERE TIRED AND CAME AT US BUT WE DEFENDED WELL AND GOT A SLICE OF LUCK TOO AT TIMES.
AT 3-1 UP ADE MANAGED TO CLEAR THE BALL OFF THE LINE WHICH WOULD HAVE REALLY PILED THE PRESSURE ON IF THAT HAD GONE IT ! AFTER THAT IT WAS JUST A SCRAP AND WE CAME OUT ON TOP AGAINST A HALF DECENT CHS TEAM.
LOCKY SCORED A TRADEMARK LONG RANGE BOOMER FREE KICK WHICH GAVE US THE EXTRA LEAD TO TAKE A BIT OF HEAT OFF BUT IT DID NOT STOP CHS BOMBING FORWARD AT US.
ON THE WHOLE IT WAS A GOOD JOB WELL DONE BOYS AND WE NEED TO START GAMES LIKE THAT IN FUTURE AS WE ARE NOT THE FITTEST TEAM OUT THERE AND CAN FADE IN GAMES AGAINST YOUNGER OPPONENTS. WE ALL NEED TO RAISE OUR FITNESS A BIT AS THAT IS WHERE GAMES ARE WON AND LOST AND HOWEVER MUCH YOU LOT THINK YOU ARE FIT ONLY ABOUT 5/6 PLAYERS IN OUR SQAUD ARE WHAT I WOULD CALL MATCH FIT.
WE ARE NOW 1 POINT OFF TOP SPOT WITH PHS UNITED LOSING TO NORFOLK UTD WHO ARE ON A GOOD RUN AND WE HAVE GOT A FEW GAMES IN HAND SO ITS UP TO US WHAT HAPPENS THIS SEASON. HOW MUCH DO YOU BOYS WANT IT ?
SEE YOU FUCKERS AT TRAINING OR ON SUNDAY. OR NEITHER IF YOU DONT COME TRAINING AS YOU PROBABLY WONT BE IN THE SQUAD AS YOU CANT BE BOTHERED TO TRAIN ?!!!
CHEERS BOYS
