Egham T 4 Wembley 0 League Cup QF. I found out where Steve Coultas has been - getting back to fitness. Came on as sub and scored our 4th. Jacob Lambe put is 1-0 up (15), then Brendan Matthew ((70), Reis Stanislaus (89) and Coultas a minute later. About as easy a win as we have had all season but Wayne Walters did miss a sitter when it was 2-0.

Strange old night at Hartley. I really like the place - nice clubhouse, proper beer available (although £3.45 a pint is just about pushing the limit), chips on tap and mostly a good bunch of locals. I didn't think much of the game - we didn't deserve to win so no complaints about the score but the ref was appalling. It's not just me saying that - I heard plenty of Hartley fans and neutrals saying the same thing. He could only point in one direction which meant Hartley got all the decisions in the first half and we got the decisions in the second half. 10 wrongs don't make a right.

[Hartley Row]

Have to agree with VPCTFC thought the ref was awful for both sides.

Not as bad as the ref at the Cove v Molesey game though, if certain sources are to be believed. I look forward to the comments from there.....

Steve is a very good player, when fit and in form he's superb.

So the Cup SFs are:

 

Egham Town v Epsom & Ewell

South Park v Cobham

 

Do we have dates for these yet? Epsom have Tuesdays spare currently on 9th and 16th April but Egham have League games on both nights so I suspect another Thursday match might be required.

The ref was threatening to report Cove because the players were trying to ask why he had cancelled it, if the game was played i couldnt see the game finishing with 22 players with that power freak in charge.

 

Apparently your not even allowed to say hello to a ref now!!

Badshot Lea 1-0 Wood

Wood can count themselves very unfortunate to come away from a freezing evening with nothing to show for their efforts. In fact, it was difficult for most of the evening to see why there is such a gap between these two sides in the league table. The Godalming Town pitch was fine but the lights tested even the best of eyesights as Dan Coles was forced to push a cross shot wide for a corner in the first minute. Dre Grobler drove tamely at the keeper and Wood defended a melle following a corner to clear their lines. A quick break down the right saw a Mario Embalo header fall to Cornell McCoy but his snapshot was blocked well. The Baggies keeper did well under pressure from Embalo and Joe Mead hit an angled free kick straight down the keeper's throat soon after. Ben James was alert to deny a break on the right for the home side and the home keeper parried Joe Mead's free kick wide of the goal. Coles claimed a shot from distance and a short corner routine saw the home number 7's curling cross shot hit the bar. The cold conditions were not hindering either side who were both keen to get the ball down and pass with only the final ball lacking to make the game even more enthralling. There was a strong penalty shout following a foul on Embalo and a fine bout of play saw Elijah Ogunseye flash a shot just wide of the far post. Dan Hughes and Embalo linked well to set up Joe Mead but his shot flew a foot over the bar. An early low cross to McCoy saw his shot blocked as the half ended all square.

 

 

Joe Mead fed Grobler but his chipped shot went inches over the bar and Coles denied the baggies 2 well although an offside flag would have saved the visitors anyway. Embalo was not receiving any favours from the referee as he was clearly hauled down on the edge of the area while the frustration of the home side became clear as two quick fire yellow cards for dissent were handed out. Embalo headed a Steve Lang corner over the bar and Phil Frodsham did well to snuff out a home threat. The hoe keepr, Matt Watson, claimed a Joe mead cross at the second attempt but there were a few signs of tiredness in Wood's central midfield. Josh Pearson fired a warning when driving over the bar and it was clear that one goal may clinch the points as both sides continued to play attractive football at pace. That goal came in the 79^th minute when Badshot Lea kept the ball well in front of an unprotected back four and the ball fell to Pearson whose 20 yard shot was worthy of winning any game; wide to the right of Coles. A double substitution for Wood saw Mathurin and Burdon replacing James and Grobler. The Baggies missed two golden opportunities to put the game to bed while Mathurin shot at Watson and at the death, Ogunseye fed Embalo who was denied by a superb match winning save from Watson.

 

The old adage of when you are at the bottom, nothing goes your way, could not be more true as even the most partizan home supporter felt a draw would have been the correct result. Onwards to Epsom & Ewell on Thursday for another severe test for Wood.

According to the bulletin the Board have agreed that the score at the time should be recorded as the result.

[E&E Rich]

Yes, very unusual, but I don't think anyone could argue the decision, especially with the fixture backlog.

 

I hope they've got the lights fixed by next Thursday!
