Match details

So we play a team which isn’t playing for anything for a change. So on paper should be our easiest game in weeks . Let’s get the 3 points lads. And finish as high as we can so we can call its good progress.

What a shame we are fizzling out in front of goal, we missed 4 glorious chances to win this game. It's all about getting some pride back against our current hoodoo team on Monday. To be honest I'd take 1 point all day long, every game for the rest of this season.
The priority next season is a goalscorer and a quality supply from the wings.

Well that was disappointing to say the least. First of all yes it was a difficult blustery day but the lack of quality from both sides was far too apparent. We kept playing the ball into the air in the first half when it should have been kept on the deck was needed. The front 2 just didn't work for me and with the 2 clear cut chances we did create, Ollie and Joel somehow failed to hit the target with the goal beckoning.

Will we score another goal this season? As 3 of Diamonds said I'll take a point all day long on Monday but I fear it might be a long afternoon.

One last thing while I'm in grumpy old man syndrome - who was looking after the kids in and around the PDB? One set of kids played football near the exit gate for the whole 90 minutes and at least 4 times kicked the ball onto the pitch causing our GK to have to remove the ball each time. Another set of kids sitting in the back row of the PDB continuously banged the seats for most of the game driving us all insane! Not acceptable!
