Today

[Hammy]

A good result today on paper as most of the results around us went well, look forward to hearing from the guys wo could go, for a report.

Man of the match: Turner. There's my report.

Pleasing result given the players we had missing. Osbourne did well, I thought.

osbourne did very well i thought, as did cooper. only negative for me was how easy they were getting down both wings. thought curtis looked really out of his depth today.

Unfortunately chris we were outplayed in midfield and BW displayed why they are chasing a playoff place..... but good on the fellas for making them look ordinary, keep these results coming and we will be safe IMO.

The replacement of huggins by grant looks inteteresting to me-as i would have anticipated Blackman coming on for The Hugg.

 

I thought grant was a wing back, so interested where Grant played when he came on,and how the formation changed.

[I am Spartacus]

AS told to you before Michael Grant is NOT a wing back BUT is a winger (the fact he was played as a wingback is totally irrevelant).

 

When he came on he played as winger on both wings (not simultaneously of course).

Good point IMO, against another team going very well. Shows how far the expectation bar has been raised, as IOC did seem to suggest a few of the players were disappointed with only a point.... Nothing wrong with being ambitious, but don't do yourselves a disservice lads - this was a cracking point. Fairly even game, I thought, and a draw was probably a fair result. Leroy took his goal well again - 4 in 6 is some return in a relegation dogfight. Turner pulled off some cracking saves, most notably a free-kick tipped round the post (captured perfectly by Don). And they really should have won it in the dying minutes, somehow contriving to miss from just a few yards out. Having said that, the Wood keeper pulled off a magnificent full-stretch save to tip Cooper's volley round the post in the first half.

 

Six games unbeaten now - god knows how long it's been since we've been on such a run (well, I'm sure someone out there will know...). Good turnout from the Margate fans - out of a crowd of 148, we must have made up a large chunk of that. My first trip to Meadow Park, and a rather underwhelming one to be honest.... especially when it started pi$$ing it down and there was no cover at either end!

 

Results generally went our way again, and I think most teams will be looking at some of our results lately and will not be looking forward to playing us. There must be some real belief in that dressing room that we can pull this off now. Just a shame that IOC was not in charge earlier, as I feel we would certainly have got more points in some of those crucial home games when we had no manager (the Ricay, Canvey etc), putting us in a much better position now.

 

Let's build on this good result on Tuesday... gutted I can't make it, but good luck lads - bring home the three points!
