Leighton v Slough

[readingrebel]

Well done to the team.

 

Not pretty but job done and 3 points in the bag!!

 

Excellent goal from Paul Coyne with the outside of his boot and vital penalty save from James Warrington.

Just watched the goal from Coyne and Nathan was stood in the perfect place to catch the flight of the ball. Curved into the corner, great strike Coyney.

 

Highlights from Rugby and Leighton games online later.

 

P.S. Love you really Sue.

[Mr Rebel]

just wanted to say how great it is that we finally have a solid defence that don't hand soft goals galore in the league anymore. just 9 goals conceded in 12 games. a record only equalled by Biggleswade. next best defences have shipped 14.

 

think its 7 clean sheets in all comps so far. probably the same amount we achieved in the 2 previous seasons combined!!

Hero of the day was James Warrington as for villians...........

 

 

P.S. Ha ha I know you do Gary or you wouldnt of gone home in one piece !!

It was obvious that some sad person would check that........and on this occasion it was me!!

 

Last season in all competitions = 6 clean sheets of which 4 were in league games.

Season before in all competitions = 11 clean sheets of which 7 were in league game.

 

Our 7 so far this year have all been in the league and we're not even in November yet. I don't want us to go all defensive, and I don't think we have the players to play that way anyway, but not conceding goals is what wins you titles.

Here's another one for you!

 

Alex Brown: 5 and a bit matches played (injured at Chertsey). Only 2 goals conceded when on the pitch. And 4 clean sheets!

 

I thought it was a good solid win, the type we'll need to grind out consistently to do well. I was a bit concerned though about the lack of chances created. If Paul Coyne hadn't scored, the game might have been heading for another North Greenford-esque 0-0. What a goal it was though! But we looked very solid at the back and James Warrington is looking more and more like a great find every week - fully deserving of MoM for the penalty save and for keeping out a couple of other efforts.

Agree with everything you say there Matt.

 

I too was a bit concerned that we didn't create any chances after Coyne's goal, but this was the sort of game we'd have lost last season so we're obviously made some progress.

 

I also agree with Warrington as MOM, as he kept us ahead with some excellant saves.

[Windsor Rebel]

A good performance on Saturday to grind out a result. Lets hope we can keep it up with some tough games on the

horizon against the the top sides coming up. MOM: James Warrington closely followed by Paul Coyne.

[Mark44]

Agreed. If we are still top come end of November we will have done exceptionally well

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

Would rather be top at end of April though....
