Hastings 0 Ricay 1

[jl]

A most welcome three points for us and our first away win in the league since August - Hooray

 

Kerrers was in at left back and we had a loanee from Dagenham (Michael Alaile?) in at centre-half. After a 10 minute getting to know you session at the start I was impressed with the new lad - Nothing seemed to get past him and he looked quite mobile, which is something that we have been lacking in that area. We certainly looked solid today, I can't recall Hastings having a meaningful attempt all game.

 

The first half was pretty poor, Burbs missed completely from 6 yards but other than that no chances for either side. I thought we were much better than them in the second-half and had a few decent chances to have won by a wider margin. Over the course of the 90 I thought we deserved to win the game with BWG and Dorms again putting in good performances and the back four looked good.

 

Quite a lot of debate about the substitution of Buckfield. Had anything changed about Jack from the start of the game to half-time - Not in my view. Personally I would have started with Ronnie, but having made the other decision I think we should have stuck to it.

 

Hopefully this result will give us the confidence to get a home win on Boxing Day which will make our league position look a lot better ahead of next week. Well done lads!!

 

Come on you Blues!!!!

Ha ha nice pic Dan

 

Thought we deserved to win, Hastings didn't offer much except long shots. Burbs missed a couple of good chances, but BWG is playing really well on the right and scored another. Looked solid at the back which is important, and with a bit more confidence we'll get more runs from midfield which is something we need when playing with one up.

Pity BWG made a complete hash of the one on one at the end with no defender within miles,as 2 zip would have been a fairer scoreline.But hey the three points are very welcome.Not sure about the one up top approach though.

Bradley had a very good game I hear, even scored the goal that won us three points.

One up top 'can' work well if the one up top works hard enough.

Well done Lads, I'm gutted I missed it

In hindsight, I don't think it's fair to mention Bradley's miss. It was a small hiccup in a good performance and the important thing is we got three points.

 

Hastings were disapointing and there was one "close your eyes" attempt on goal but that was from a miss kick from one of ours, spinning off the foot and callng on Ronnie to be on his toes to drop down and save it!!!

 

Altho not a classic game, the lads persisted and won through.

 

Well done
