FA Trophy

[urchinboys]

Anyone know how we're doing in the game today? It must be half time and neither Sky or BBC are showing the FAT scores!!!

[Urchin Boy]

I Reckon We're Winning !

[urchinboys]

Can't U ring Urchin Man?? I'm desperate UB!!

[Urchin Boy]

Yeah We Won 2-0 Come On You Urchins !

 

[Lord]

We sure did, played them off the park, should have won far more comfortably, 4,5 or even 6 would have been a fairer result. Hope someone woke our keeper up at the end! Some lovely touches from Bradley Allen, who scored our first after 38 minutes. Douglas got the second 10 or so minutes into the second half, but once again, for my money, he didn't impose himself on the game enough. John Martin was excellent again, he'll be a big miss next Sunday <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> West, Locke and Martin all hit the posts. Taffy came on for the entire 2nd half and looked good, Keith Rowlands also got a run out late second half.

 

Good performance all in all!

[Urchin Boy]

Well Done Lads !

[Urchin_Rat_Man]

As soon as Taffy came on he had a chance straight away which he created himself. He played really well i thought.

we hit the bar 3 Times.

We were all over 'em.

Nice for Dougy to score.

Well played the lads!!

[Urchin_Rat_Man]

And Lord. John Martin might not be banned as Gary Calder has sent Video evidence to the ref at the Paulton game, to prove it weren't a dive a so didn't deserve his second yellow, therfore hopefully it will be reduced to the yellow he had earlier, and will be able to play against Dialingtone.

[Lord]

Read that in the Recorder as well, I don't have much hope, not that often refs ever admit to being wrong!

 

I though John Martin was man of the match today, it would be a great shame if he doesn't play next weekend.

[Urchin_Rat_Man]

Well wiv the picture in the paper, and the video evidence we have, then the ref HAS to change his mind, surely! It was no dive, and refs have to admit when they're wrong. After all they are all Human. (Apart from the one at Billericays ground.

 

Lord was you the one with the sunglasses and the wolly hat, standing infront of the main stand?

[Lord]

Nope mate, sun glasses in November, you sure???

[Urchin_Rat_Man]

Well it was someone wearing last season shirt, with sunglasses on and a wolly hat. If that weren't you. Who are ya!?

[Lord]

No, that certainly wasn't me mate, actually could have done with sunglasses first half, the sun was shinning straight in my eyes. I was standing in front of the main stand, went with my missus, who incidentally thought Jude Sterling was our man of the match!

[Urchin_Rat_Man]

Was you on the coach? I'll find out one day. I'm the one with the drum, jus come eup and say hi one game.

 

Jude Sterling?

Didn't really do much i thought. Didn't have much to do at right back though.

 

My MOM is probably Westy. Winning every header, tackle, everything, and 2 great saves by there keeper to deny Westy.

[Lord]

No, weren't on the coach either, made our own way there, quick journey actually, only took us 30 mins getting home, although I do drive like a nutter <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/drivin.gif" alt="" />

 

Sterling made some nice runs forward, as did Kerrigan I thought. You say Sterling didn't need to do much at the back, yet your man of the match was our centre-half Westy? <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

 

Westy had a good game, he always does. Thought pretty much the whole team played well, they just weren't good enough for us and our quality and fitness really told. They were really clinging on, thought we just tried to be a little too flash with our finishing, looking for the extra pass, etc, when we should have had a shot. 2-0 flattered them, like I said it could have easily been 4,5 or 6.

[Urchin_Rat_Man]

But we defended high up the pitch. Westy was winning all the balls, headers, tackles.

Jude did make some good runs, but for me Westy was my MoM.

Different opinions, are all good, makes the conversation more interesting!

[Lord]

Indeed it does, Johnny Martin was my man of the match. Although, I have to say Bradley Allen made some lovely touches today, looked class and showed his quality. Got to start with him and Vinny up front against the Darlo, who lost again today (6 in a row now) and slumped to 2nd from bottom. We'll be playing them in the conference next year!!

 

What did you think about Dougie today? I know he has had his critics, me being one of them!

[Urchin_Rat_Man]

He was average for me. Not bad, but then again, nufing to special. He was in the right place for the goal he scores, so you gotta give him credit for that. Taff still outclassed him as did Allen who was 10 times as good. after that performane my team for Darlo would be.

 

GK, Gay

DL, Kerrigan

DC, Adedeji

DC, West

DR, Sterling

ML, Keeling (if fit)

MC, Southon

MC, J.Martin (if ban is lifted!)

MR, Graham

FC, Allen

FC, John

 

The reason i think Southon instead of Locke is because, we are gonna need a ball winner in midfield, were Jamie, is a stronger tackler and header than Locke. But Locke is more of a passing guy, and the game is surely gonna be a tough Physical game against Dialingtone(Thank Maxhinio for that one!)

[Lord]

Yep, agree more or less with that team, all depends on players fitness and whether they are suspended or not.

 

As for Dougie, yes an average game, but didn't stamp his authority on the game as you would have thought he should of.

 

If JM does miss out, I'd play Southon and Locke in centre mid. Got to be Brad and Vinny up front though. If no Keeling, then maybe Rowlands out wide.

[Urchin_Rat_Man]

Yeah either Rowly, or Ade who can play anywhere in Midfield, but keith would be my choice. But hopefully Kilo will be back, who would be my first choice!

 

If JM does miss out i would play Lockey.

 

But what about the new striker opora. He scored 2 goals and another 6 chances for the reserves, so maybe he'll be on the bench.
