Snippets from Gosport site...

Firstly, I love the heads-up from an Andover fan...

Quote:

Strong points are they pass the ball about and play out of the back (both fullbacks bomb on and the wide men are very good). In the centre of the park they are solid and are sharp upfront.

But if you get in their faces they don't like it and in doing this we nearly nicked a point of them. And before I forget, their fullback has a Delap throw. Never seen a player launch a ball like this bloke before.

It's a long while since I've seen us described as shy before a challenge... guess Seeds must have been mainlining Ovaltine that day

He's not wrong about the throw-ins, though. We *have* to practice some set-pieces with those, could be worth a few goals.

 

Meanwhile, how's this for cheek from the Gosport manager:

Quote:

Players often work their plans around Saturday and Tuesday football. I'm hoping that some teams may be weakened on a Monday night when players aren't available for an away game at Privett. If that works to our advantage then so be it.

I think we should have another floodlight failure or 3 if we meet in another cup game. And then have the replay on another Tuesday.

Finally, the switch also means I can get out and watch other Southern League games on Tuesday nights. Previously we've all been playing the same night limiting my opportunities to scout future opponents.

Isn't the point of having everyone play at the same time, especially in non-league, to make it more convenient for players and fans and to keep everyone's chances the same?
