Quoted from TheGoalKipper
Did we try to play football last night or are we still hoofing it forward at every opportunity?


We tried and succeeded in playing football.

Summerfield, Jones, Kelly, Davies and Mills all played well. As did Osborne.

I wasn't impressed with the keeper, Cardwell or Hooper when he came on.

Clifton had a decent game, but I imagine it might be a while before we see him play a league game.

No Clements in the squad again. Is he injured? Thought he might have got some game time last night.

A smaller crowd at Stevenage.

Anybody know how many bra's there were ?


Not sure how many bra's but I bet there were several mammaries (mainly in florescent bibs)

Didn't think the keeper had that much to do, he had no chance with the goal that looked as if it was deflected off Collins' back.

Agree about Hooper but I thought Cardwell did OK, chased down their defenders, played some good balls off and scored.

Yes he had very little to do, but his kicking was poor, he is small in stature, got into a bit of a muddle in the box when he came too far out, and I generally like my keepers to be tall and commanding - just my preference.

Cardwell is going to back up at best though, surely?  That's fair enough as we can't play all the strikers.

He looks small for a keeper but he had little to do. He turned his man after a bad back pass and what he had to do, he did well. I don't think you can accuse him of had distribution when his kicking was excellent and he almost set up Cardwell from a drop kick.

Yes but I am not sure we want keepers doing Cruyff turns in the box.  Slade threw his arms up in frustration as he kicked it into touch late on when under no pressure and a lot of his kicking was similar. I do agree about the drop kick.

To be honest I was hoping for a new established number one keeper with Macca as back up, but that isn't the fault of Killip and if he ever does oust Macca he will get my full support at the game as normal.

I didn't think his kicking was that bad, mainly down the middle rather than Macca style into the Main or Youngs stands.
