As I said the politics doesn't do anything for me personally and I know what it is like with Chinese whispers in local football. All I know is that we have had one good young manager depart and 2 arrive, with the desired results in the early stages. That as it stands is value to me. It's a long old season and 4 games means nothing, but I for one am happy with where we seem to be heading.

hmm if you are not interested in the politics then why are you talking like an official of the club darling its also funny how things change at clubs when 4 games mean nothing now but were so important last season ha ha

Your a very negative and condescending man to keep referring to me as "darling". I'm all for debate, as this is why I've signed up, but please have some class about you.

[duncs]

Ok sorry love and if you want to talk about class then you have some as well and don't come on here slagging of your ex manager and then backtrack to try and hide what you said

Nothing.. He is just trying to pick some sort of argument out of nothing.

yes he is.

and succeeding...... (again).....

[Rother]

Actually, no-ones arguing with him, he's only succeeding in making himself look even more of a tool than usual.

Another home league defeat for Wood leaves them looking nervously over their shoulders yet, once again, there were some positives to be taken from the game. Helge Orome started despite severe ankle bruising against the premier new boys.

 

Joe Mead and Orome combined to set up Ogunseye but he blazed over the bar leaning back. The opening exchanges were rather scrappy but it was good to see two sides trying to get it down and play. Ankumu fed Ogunseye but Stanford blocked for the visitors and Buss cleared his lines. Dan Hughes was rather late on Jackson who was beginning to become quite a threat to the Wood back line as Bedfont settled into something of a passing rhythm. Frodsham cleared well from Jackson following a fine Beadle pass. Gavin Bamford fouled Gregson and the resulting free kick was well headed away by visiting skipper Turner. Sports took the lead on 23 minutes when a fine through ball from Turner found Jackson clear in on goal and he never looked like missing. Bamford tried a clever long range chip but Sam mead was alert to nod the danger to the grateful arms of Burnett.

 

If Wood have one thing in abundance it is character and they were level just four minutes later with a fine goal. A pinpoint pass from Orome was taken in his stride by Turner. He rode a late challenge from behind, stayed on his feet and the drilled the ball past a helpless Buss. Jones was rather lucky to stay on the field when he lunged at Dan Hughes, no doubt frustrated at being out-muscled by the diminutive Gregson. The yellow card seemed scant reward for his efforts. Bamford was almost punished for over playing at the back and Jackson was cautioned for a stray elbow, a harsh decision as it looked purely accidental. Turner headed straight at Buss and Dan Hughes and Turner did well to supply the live wire Gregson but Jones denied him. Lang and Turner linked up to set up Ogunseye but another last ditch block denied him as well. Almost on half time, Burnett produced a superb save to deny Jackson following another fine pass from Watts.

 

HT 1-1 – A tight game but the visitors are in the ascendancy.

 

Rexhepi replaced Ankumu for Wood and baker replaced Stanford for Bedfont.

 

Bedfont opened the half clearly on a mission to get ahead. Beadle did well to chase down a cross field Jackson ball and he crossed for Hodges who blazed the ball over the bar.

 

Burnett recovered just in time to deflect an angled cross behind and Gregson had a shot blocked before Bedfont took the lead on 55 minutes. A succession of about eight passes saw Bedfont in on the right and the front post cross fell to the unmarked Jackson who had time, too much time, to take a touch and drive past the unprotected Burnett. Turner and Gregson still posed a threat up top for Wood but the creative play behind them was not forthcoming as Wood found it harder and harder to find the strikers. The visitors, with two banks of four looked happy to play on the break now they were ahead. Gregson was wrongly flagged for offside but he was soon in on goal when a hopeful long ball saw him outstrip the Bedfont defence but he shot across Buss and wide. Bamford received a strange yellow card although Baker's yellow soon after was more clear cut. The extra aggression required to win matches such as these was clearly evident in the visitors make up but the home side looked ponderous. In fact, most of the second half appeared to be played at half pace with Bedfont doing just enough and Wood doing little to shift the balance of power. Turner blazed a Joe Mead pass almost out of the ground, quite a feat at that end of the ground and Embalo replaced Sam Mead. A short corner routine saw Turner fire over the bar and Embalo's only contribution was to get booked again in the corner. Lang over hit a cross which just about summed up the second half and the lively Beadle went round Burnett but shot wide from 25 yards.

 

Bedfont look comfortable in this league and, with consistency, will climb the table quickly. Wood have now lost two thirds of their fifteen league games and they will need to scrap harder if they are to add to their wins tally in the coming weeks.

Spot on cc thought it was gona be a different story every attack you had you looked like scoring an were causing us problems!! Pitch was gd i asked as been away

Ref was ok few strange decsisions an we could easily have had one straight red but fortunately yellows were produced !! Good luck for the season
