Town 4 - Bury 4

[blue pilgrim]

A game for the fans but not the managers !!!

 

Bury are a good side and will be up there again this season. They came into the game on the back of a 5 nil win on Saturday and did the double over us last season. We came into the game with a lot of key players missing, particularly in defence..

 

Obviously it was an open game and played in a good spirit ( unlike last year). The scoring went 0-1; 1-1 (Berry free kick); 2-1 ( Knight header from great right wing cross) ; 2-2 (HT) ; 2-3; 3-3 ( Knight, brilliant solo effort) 4-3 ( Semakula); 4-4. ( Town had one cleared off Bury's line at the death)

 

Dave Knight was my MOM playing his socks off with Jay May close behind. Unfortunately, we contributed largely to their goals and Nicky Morgan will feel that he should have stopped at least two.

 

But hey, it was great entertainment and both teams were given a generous round of applause at the end.

Amazing. Don't know whether to laugh or cry really but one thing's for sure and that was that the application and effort was a big improvement on Saturday.

 

Knight showed the fans that he could play and his partnership with May who had another good game looked promising. It was like a basketball match really as each team seemed to take turns in having an attack.

 

As the scoreline suggested neither side defended particularly well and I agree with BP's thoughts on that issue and on where urgent attention is needed. The midfield seemed to completely vacate at times but that's something we can work on.

 

Well done to those lads who played with injuries today - hopefully we'll have more on parade for Saturday.

Hello new poster here.

 

I used to watch Billericay a few years ago but have not been for a while. However my daughte and I are keen photograhers and decided to pop down today and take a few photos. I know there are a few photographers at the club, I seem to remember a lady photographer when I used to go, but hopefully we have not trodden on anyone's toes or worse still broken any rules.

 

I've posted the photos on Flikr

Note to any photographers - please be gentle this was our first attempt at photographing sport and its a lot harder than it looks. Any tips for improvement appreciated.

 

As I say I haven't been for a while so don't know most of the players - Chatting is the only one I remember from previous visits and was that Rob Swaine at centre half? I've worked out some from blue pilgrim's match report but if someone could help me with the gaps or any corrections it would be appreciated.

 

I must admit I stopped shooting towards the end as the match was so exciting. I don't suppose its always like that is it?

 

Anyway hope you like the pictures

The photo's are good and I would like to use a couple of them for our next programme for this Saturday's game, if I may. Full credit will be given in the programme...

So nearly broke that hoodoo over Bury . Agree Knight was mom but what were we doing at the back . 3 goals imo were completely gifts for Bury , and if we continue like that then our games aure are gonna be a spectacle .

 

I actually thought that Bury were a very well organised side and our goals were all good goals rather than them making mistakes , so that is a real slap on the back for the team, as it proves we can break down teams .

 

With a few absentees we have the makings of a decent side , but those (dare i say) school boy mistakes need to be cut .

 

But a very entertaining game which both sides contributed greatly too .

A great view of all the goals on the Bury web site via You Tube. It unfortunately also gave a good view of our defensive faults especially by Rob Swaine which is particularly upsetting given he is our number 1 central defender. Morgan will not enjoy seeing this either but it may be a help to the manager. On the other hand Knight will enjoy seeing both his goals on video as well as the fine photographs posted.

What a great game. Good to see Blue Pilgrim back, you can come more often if you can conjur up a game like that. !!

 

All we needed was to see that great legend Paul Shave stir from the bench and gallop around a bit committing mayhem and the afternoon would have been made - is he back with us full time or just another emergency loan ?

Can somebody please explain the codes on the left hand side of each post. For instance what is the white figure inside the green box - is it some sort of mark for the quality of the posting?

 

And why have I got a warn status bar (and nobody else has) Do you get bookings for rude posts about our players?!!

[Onthesidelines]

As far as I can see I am the only person with a warn status bar on this post.

Might be an idea to start a fresh topic Richards. and i will happily assist in answering the questions if no one else gets there before me.

I enjoyed this match but as stated above our defence was very poor at times which cost all 3 points. Both forwards were excellent and caused them a great deal of problems. MOTM Knight.

 

I have a warn status also.

Fantastic game. Would've taken a point before KO, but gutted not to get all 3. Defence does need sorting and thats where we miss a Wild or Sobers. Rob Swaine has had 4 different partners at centre-half and we've had 3 different right backs and 2 different left backs. We need that to settle. May and Knight looked good as did Semakula. Good to see the Blues Cafe back up and running, a vast improvement.

[Onthesidelines]

Good points Ryan, however I am sad to see Carl Patten has been released. I thought he looked classy and could do a job in a settled back line.

Of course Gazza please go ahead. I don't know if you can take them directly from flkr but if you want the orginals please let me know.
