Saturday LeagueWatch

Post by Bob's Bitch »

Thrapston v Eynesbury
Oadby v BPW
Rothwell v Sileby

Hopefully BPW can keep Oadby down to 6 or 7 and Thrapston can do the same to Eynesbury. Not sure I really care about Sileby, I don't think they'll mess up a 7-point lead.

Rothwell beat Sileby a few weeks ago in the KO cup, though Sileby did have 9 men, but their twitter feed does mention the 'curse of the corinthians', so perhaps they're Sileby's bogey team.

And not our league but from a UCL perspective, I'll also be interested to see what happens at Spalding v Guernsey in the vase for a place in the quarter finals, would be nice to see a UCL team go all the way, though no doubt Guernsey with all the resources they must have will be a tough test for the 'tulips'.

The referee has called off the Oadby game only 20 minutes before kick off. :shock: That pitch must have been really bad.

Thrapston 1 Eynesbury 4

Looks like Eynesbury will go second in the table.

Went to rothwell Sileby today and Byrne and foster were brilliant for the first 10 minutes and scored twice, they then went 3 up before half time. That's all the chances they had in the first half just those 3. In the second half rothwell got one back and played well.
Apart from the front 2 they showed nothing today to worry me, how on earth they beat Oadby last week I will never know.
I believe we can score against them it's whether we can stop their front two however there was certainly nothing I saw today to worry me. They did kind of swagger around as well!
Looking forward to 26th now

The old adage is 'goals win games'. However, we are now looking very good in defence and with the addition of the experienced Patterson to the squad I am hopeful we can neutralise Sileby's two dangerous front men. If we can do that then it's likely we will win.
