Rhodes Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Lato - So in other words Spidermanor is leaving Hayes about 4.15 to get over to Vicarage Road for 5.20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lato Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 AFC Hayes 1 Royston Town 3 Royston were far too good for their hosts who seemed disjointed at times particularly in an abject first half. The vistors started a little nervously but got into their stride and started playing the ball around and showed great movement off the ball and cohesiveness . Hayes on the other hand seemed to rely on a long ball for the pacy 11 to chase as their sole means of attack and for reasons best known to themselves left a huge hole in the middle of the park for Royston to play through. Royston scored first after good approach play saw a shot saved and an easy tap in but they gifted AFC Hayes an equaliser after a calamatous goal kick. The young Royston side weren't rattled and two more goals followed before half time. Hayes improved in the second half a little but never really threatened and Royston had chances to make it an even more comfortable win. Have to say a fair result in the end.

blowingbubbles Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 good report lato i have to agree with that completely. Royston are looking far stronger this year (going by todays performance and a few home games) that previous, and i think it is showing by beating opposition two leagues above themselves. Hendon at home will be a tough test for royston but who knows, the magic of the FA cup might come to garden walk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodes Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Blowingbubbles - So did you meet Lato, Spidermanor and Manorborn, as you say Hendon at home is a great draw for the Crows who should get a crowd of 400 plus and if Craig Hammond is firing on all cylinders then anything is possible.

blowingbubbles Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 No rhodes unfortunately i was with my child so was busy trying to keep them occupied!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodes Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Blowingbubbles - That's funny, I often have three or four and sometimes five of my children in tow at matches and never have that trouble. Anyway the crowd was only 83 so surely Lato wouldn't have been that difficult to identify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Watchfull Listener Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I had a decent chat with Lato and Manorborn after the game and Lato's report is very accurate. Royston looked the team that were two league's higher and on another day the margin of victory could have been more. I also sense that there may be problems at AFC Hayes both on and off the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodes Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Craig Hammond seems to be on fire at the moment, he must make a World of difference compared to when he's off form or injured like at the end of last season which cost you promotion.

Anyway the crowd was only 83 so surely Lato wouldn't have been that difficult to identify. That's because you ignore them and let them run riot. When you visited us recently, we had to ask them to stop swinging on the steelwork and climbing on to the player's tunnel. They appear to be free range.

The Watchfull Listener Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Rhodes - Royston are not a one mean team which you always seem to imply and they dont have just one scorer if you actually look at facts half a dozen players have got two goals or more already this season and last season has nothing to do with this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lato Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 good to meet you Watchful Listener. Maybe our paths will cross again later this season. Pity we did not catch up with blowing bubbles but he has a good team to watch this year that are more than just a one man band as has been implied in previous posts about Royston. Hendon will be an interesting test for them in the next round and they will have the camera(s) there too following the 'Wembley to Wembley' route.

The Watchfull Listener Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 If you wud be bothered to come and see the new look Royston team then you would think differently but as you usually make things up in hindsight it is easy for everyone to understand why you post the things you do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manorborn100 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I have to say I agree with everything Lato, Blowingbubbles and The Watchfull Listener have said on this thread. Unfortunatley Rhodes is talking tosh as per usual. It was a good entertaining game yesterday with the visitors gaining a thoroughly deserved win. Good luck in the next round against Hendon. It was also good to meet and talk to The Watchfull Listener at the end. Shame we didn't meet Blowingbubbles. Were you sitting in the stand?

He was baby sitting so was unable to stroll around the ground to pick Lato out of the crowd of 83. Anyway presumably Blowingbubbles knows TheWatchfulListener, at least by sight following all his visits to Garden Walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Neutralbob - What was your opinion of the Royston number nine Craig Hammond, what would they be like without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neutralbob Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 if i am completely honest, he looked ok, nothing special in my personal opinion, can play a higher level i am sure but few more strikers in ur premier division that r better certainly be weakened without him tho, i liked the no7 for them and the left winger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
