Just Back

1500 I think.

Agree with most of the comments...Collins and Clarke were immense and hardly gave them a sniff. And Summerfield is turning out to be our player of the season - energy, commitment, neat passing, and reads the game so skilfully.

Agree we lacked a cutting edge today but it was a well deserved point away to one of the so-called better teams in the fourth division.

Summers and Clarke joint mom. Jones talked his way to another yellow. Got to be cuter than that. Try winding the opposition up instead and then we may get more free kicks FOR us . Yes the ref was useless but we never seem to have as many free kicks whoever the ref is.
Some of our 'fans ' are such morons. Even before the match started an inebriated youth behind me decided to play the drums on my cap. Lads, this time I moved to another row to enjoy the game. Next time I'll not 'keep my kneb out'. Stewards looked keen for some action so don't draw attention to yourselves.

Ta. Not bad. Given the time of year.

A good game were both teams were both defensively strong. You can see why county go direct to ameobi, he's like a magnet. We defended against him really well though, and when he did win a header, our defended was positioned well to deal with it. We definitely need some signings with more cutting edge in January, but for now we're doing well.

I was impressed by us today

We stood strong in defence when we needed to and made several chances up front, especially in the first half

I was fearing the worst before we kicked off knowing how unpredictable we have been at times this season

All in all though today I thought we rose to the challenge and if we carry on in the same vein I think we might have a pretty successful second half of the season, especially if we manage to attract a bit of quality in next month’s window

Onwards and upwards Town!

before the game i would have taken point...after the game i am not so sure....not very impressed with County at all, very one dimensional, seemed to be content to rely on falling over in advanced wide positions to win free kicks and then chucking free kicks into the box.
That could have been as a result of our solidity, Mills and Davies snuffed out their widemen and with Summerfield and Rose busy disrupting their midfield, Collins and Clarke where then left to deal with a physical contest which they are more than a match for.

Felt slightly disappointed that we couldnt have forced the game a bot more and maybe took all three...but Siriki was well marshalled and i thought Jones seemed a little off it again so left us a bit light going forward. When you looked at the bench there wasnt a great deal of hope there that someone could come on and grab the game by the scruff of the neck.

On paper a decent point so have to be happy really.

January is going to be vital for us....we need some additional pace up front in January to stimulate that attack...while the squad we have has numbers,  beyond the current first 11 there really isnt the quality there to make a huge impact.  Clear out those who you are never going to play Slade and get us a fast striker and maybe a powerful centre mid. Off loading 5/6 of the players you arent interested in using should give some wriggle room for a couple of quality players in.

Fit and firing Osbourne to come back will be like a new signing.

Jamey & Tombola back add another full back who can play on both sides and all being well a fox in the box and we could be in business

I mentioned to the lad standing next to me today that I'd have had Bolarinwa on for the last 20 minutes in an instant, if he'd been available. With Matt, Jones, Jaiyesimi and Dembele all knackered long before the end, he would certainly have given them a lot more to think about.
