Maidstone Tonight

[Canvey Fan 1926]

Who's going? And what do we think on score/line up?

 

[yellow angel]

We will be going, just hope the traffic wont be too bad, last time we went to this ground it took over 2 hours to get there

Am going for a close win, 2-1 to the Gulls.

Went on the coach last time and we ended up getting lost!

I'm hoping it won't be defeat, but think it will be tight for both teams - so 1 all draw for me.

[The Great Eckscape]

0-0 for me, defence will be determined to make amends for Saturday I reckon.

[Mini Goose]

Terry is taking Tyler Powelly Kev and me.

 

I've been speaking on the Maidstone forum and they are warning us about road works on the A2. Also saying the qe2 has been a bit funny lately aswell.

 

Like Chas said, Aslong as it is'nt a defeat i'll be happy but i reckon we can get a 1-0 win out of this.

[JAY]

I am going for 1 nil canvey good luck lads

[marccifc]

0-0 if we can defend

[YELLOW]

1-1 draw I reckon.

[canveyspur]

0-0 at half time, halle missed penalty.

[ShedBoy]

Finished 0-0

 

We lost both Leon Antoine & Andrew West to injuries in the first half apparently..

 

Halle missed pen, plus other good chances not taken.

 

Good point away from home.

[Matt H]

Would've taken that before kick-off. Glad to get a clean-sheet.

[YELLOW]

Think Westy suffered an injury before the game. Crow played left back and Ben Patten came into defence with Lucky dropping to the bench.

 

Played Antoine up front on his own with Halle coming into midfield.

 

Ben Patten definitely man of the match. Was outstanding in defence.

 

Ricky was good tonight. Looked confident and made some good saves.

 

Quite happy with a point but certainly could have nicked the game.

Cha-ching

[marccifc]

good solid game from the back 4 today, patten was best player on the pitch by far. ricky did OK, halle battled well in the middle of the park. we really need to take our chances tho!

[Eastside Urchin]

good result for you guys

[yellow angel]

Good performance defensively tonight, Patten standing out in particular, and i have to say a good game from Ricky Wiseman.

Could have won this, shame about the pen, but these things happen.

Only downside? Sat Nav sent us to some little village called Burham, which was 15 miles from the ground!??! Am gonna get a map

[The Great Eckscape]

Agree with the above. Ben Patten was excellent, calm, composed, didn't give the Maidstone attackers any room to work.

 

Ricky was excellent as well, good handling where required and confident when coming out either for clearances or crosses. A couple of wayward kicks but overall, a solid display.

 

Good to get a point on the board, now let's go for three on Saturday!

[JAY]

good result lads considering maidstone had some very good players with the likes of Jay Saunders, Ian cox and Ian Selley so not bad well done canvey

[Mackster]

A well earned point from both sides. Both keepers were in good form otherwise could have been different.

 

Compared to last season the calibre of football played last night at Bourne Park was so much better and I can't see either team struggling this season.

 

Good to see some away fans turn up to add a bit of atmosphere.
