Just back

Finally put this bogey team to bed, well done town

Quoted from hertfordshire mariner

My friend pointed you out to me. You look like I thought you would.

there's a compliment if ever I saw one...  

I saw you aaron! You was clapping about something and I said hello to you and you looked as confused as a fat kid at salad bar

Why are there two 'Just back' threads?

I thought Marshall tried too hard in the first half taking one touch too many and playing in front of Bradley didn't work, they were too far apart. Second half he played on the left in front of Thomas and they gelled better, Marshall showed some neat footwork and was sythed down a few times, always bouncing up and not complaining. The sending off was a little harsh, happened ten yards from me (I was in row B): their central defender lunged in and was late, Marshall saw it coming and managed to get his feet off the ground and still got caught, had be he been back on his heels some serious damage could have been done. No mallice in the tackle, just off the ground and slightly late.

The game was close with us being the better side for most of the game. What worries me is our tactics during the latter half of the second halves: Tamworth were down to ten men, then another one of their lads hurt himself and because they'd used all three subs he hobbled around for the last 15 minutes. They therefore had 8 outfield players yet we still sat back and conceeded ground to them. It's great that our defence is so tight but this sort of 'inviting' teams to attack us will not work every week. yes, I know we haven't lost away this season, but we certainly make it hard for ourselves.

Elding was fine and caused all sorts of problems for their defence and I thought he did fine: Cook just doesn't look like a footballer and isn't as mobile, but I'm not a manager and don't know what goes on in training etc, etc.

NO you are not a manager,

YOU are a dog,

AND don't you forget it.

Thanks for the help there Pete: I'll try and not forget!

I think we looked pretty solid today. With a sound performance from the keeper and back four. Niven and Disley held it together well in the middle and we had threat down both wings, especially from marshall in the seconf half.

The strikers didn't get much change from out of a fairly robust Tamworth back line, but we really got on top in the second half.

We ground out a good win against pretty tought opponents. In previuos seasons we would probably have caved, but this team certainly have some resolve.  I think we are very hard to beat away from home, and if we can just get the home form togthether we could ceratinly challenge for top spot.

Great day out.
