Re: Match thread
best thing of the evening was the food, especially the soup! We played reasonably well but didn't take our chances. Haven't I heard that before this season? Sorry that some felt the need to boo Tom Shaw - he was always fully committed to the Diamonds when he was with us.

Re: Match thread
How Tim Sills can get out jumped by a 2 foot defender, I'll never know...
Our passing was abit dodgy, and in the First Half, we kept doing fancy flicks around the box... What was that about!!

I thought we edged the game slightly overall although it was a 0-0 game that finished 1-0 to them. :|

Re: Match thread
Which one did you have? I went for the Royal Curry and it was utterly tasteless. The only reasons I know I actually ate something are because my wallet is £4.50 lighter and I burnt my tongue! :lol:Sara Pascoe wrote:Curry in the ground was lovely, mind.
It was a decent performance last night, and had Sills taken one of his early chances then I think we would have gone on to win the game. Corky and Osano looked very dodgy however, and Lewwis Spence is as good at football as his parents are at spelling. Rene Howe was MotM for me, he ran rings around the Kiddy defence at times.

Re: Match thread
My take:
I thought Kiddy were a handy team who played well, we are a better team but played quite poorly, but a draw would have been fair.
Joe Day was fine, I thought the defenders all seemed a tad error prone, particularly Corcoran, perhaps the penalty knocked his confidence a bit. I also thought that maybe later in the match it would have been more effective to swap Corky and Osano, because personally I don't think Corcoran ever looks very dangerous as a full back, and he proved on Saturday he is a great centre back. Osano could have torn them to shreds.
Don't think the midfield 3 imposed themselves, pretty average performances. Porter and Power have a tendency to overplay it too much for my liking. I think Spence has potential, I know he is taking his time but I can see him getting more goals.
Up front, Rene frustrated me, we all know he is brilliant with the ball but he played 90 mins and barely broke into a sweat - I'm not expecting him to run around like Charles but a bit more work to win the ball back etc. and he could be amazing, guess that's why he is playing for us though. Az had a decent game, but it didn't quite happen for him. As for Sills, I'm not convinced at all. For a target man he doesn't win enough in the air and he doesn't seem mobile enough. And the chance he missed looked an absolute sitter.
Charles looked quite dangerous when he came on, and I personally would play Farrell ahead of Sills on last nights performance

Re: Match thread
I've just noticed that as K*ttering lost last night, Law's unbeaten league run is over, along with their newly found optimism.
Apparently they were awful last night.

I'm not sure it would go down too well among the players and management who read it! :lol:TheIncognitoKid wrote:That should go in your program notes Dave, genius!davealbon wrote:Lewwis Spence is as good at football as his parents are at spelling. .Sara Pascoe wrote:Curry in the ground was lovely, mind.
