Sileby 0-0 Buckingham at half time lol.

Sileby 1-0 85th Min

Starms seemed disgusted with Seans actions and was sure the red was fully deserved. But how the hell Fox stayed on after his assaut on Jake, only the clueless ref knows.

Madness! Sean raised his hands, so was a deserved red card, but it just highlights the fact that there are some truly shit officials at this level.

Should have been a red for their keeper, as well as a penalty.

Not sure it was quite assault ;) but it was definitely worthy of a red. I can accept that the ref probably wasn't in the best position to see it but the linesman DEFINITELY was and should have helped the ref out, ridiculous really as it was a red card every day of the week. Didn't see what happened with Sean but he didn't appear to complain.

That was probably one of the most entertaining games of the season. What with the four goals, numerous missed chances, the sending off, the sending off that never was and all the excitement with their keeper. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Nice to see Sam Smith there too. For our third goal Jake Newman was a good 2/3 yards offside.

Burton appeared to have a few new players from the previous meeting and looked OK up until they conceded, at which point they decided to start kicking us instead. Their No 7 played in at least one pre-season game for Corby this season.

Happy with the result in the end, but i have one concern. That is what does Starmer see in Brad Harris? He did absolutly nothing and while i maybe should'nt have a moan after a win, Aaron King has been dropped after a decent performance against Buckingham for a player who seems to let the game bypass him. Help me out here if i'm being unfair!

Their number 7 was signed on a dual registration from K*ttering I believe but he didn't look very special.

I thought for the first 35 mins it was similar to their game at our place, we hit the woodwork twice and had a goal ruled offside, then Jake got it and I was thinking pass it, and he slapped it in the bottom corner so what do I know.

From then on it was one way traffic and we did what we should have done when they visited our place.

Hopefully we are now on a very decent run and perhaps Sileby are having a slight dip in form, they certainly look beatable from what I have seen, there is a lot of football to be played and I love it.

I thought he had a good game today he broke up the midfield well particularly in the first half, it is likely to be King and Harris next week anyway

Pictoral evidence of the Chairman with Sam Smith, can't be long before he signs for us! ;)

A very late winner over lowly Buckingham this afternoon. Perhaps they are not the 'real deal' most people think. ;)
