littlehampton Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 After our sublime performance / three goal victory at Maidstone, Town will be looking to carry on where they left off on Saturday, and clinch another win this evening when we host third-placed Dulwich Hamlet at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium. KO.7.45pm. This match promises to be a real cracker. Both teams need the points, both will fancy their chances, and with end-to-end action guaranteed from start to finish, it is definitely a match not to miss. Town are playing some great football, and will be full of confidence after excellent team performances against Canvey Island and Maidstone United, and will be looking to make home advantage tell by chalking up their third win on the bounce. Very best of luck to Brad and the boys. Let's do the business guys! 'COME ON THE TOWN' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1F in Enfield Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 We were not really value for money tonight. Not helped by the absence of Kirby, Taj and Devyne. McDonald had a good game. Could easily have list by more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyetfc Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Not at the races tonight and beaten by a better, faster side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastside Urchin Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Dulwich could well nick that league as they are a top side and appear to be the form side at the moment. The other two seem to not have the same consistency recently but it may be the pressure starting to get to them,saying that,people have to take Dulwich seriously now so maybe they may start feeling it a bit more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MbrunoB Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 They are the best side that we have played this season but it still took a clearance that dropped kindly to set them away for the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrickgreatcoatman Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 There were some great songs from the Dulwich Hamlet fans last night. I recognised songs sung to the tunes of Duchess (The Stranglers), The Model (Kraftwerk) Califorinia Uber Alles (Dead Kennedys) and Gangsters (The Specials). Made a nice change from the usual chants heard at the football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyetfc Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 They are the best side that we have played this season but it still took a clearance that dropped kindly to set them away for the goal. I think we were lucky to lose by just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Agree Andy. By far the best side I have seen this year. Better than Eastbourne. Their running, passing and positional play was superb and Nathan was my man of the match. If we had lost by 4 it would not have been unreasonable. The defence played well despite the absence of Kirby and Stanley done his usual holdng job well however the midfield and forwards lost possesion too easily which meant that the defence was under pressure practically throughout the game only coming back into it in the last 5-10 minutes and if we had sneaked a point then it would have been extremely lucky.

andyetfc Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I think if I could find the thread about last year's game against Dulwich, then the comments may be very much similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlehampton Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Disappointing for everyone but, going by the comments, sounds like we were beaten by a very good side. No two games are the same, but after the euphoria last Saturday, think there was genuine optimism that we might get something from this match. Does anyone know whether our missing players will be available for selection this Saturday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovely stuff Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 We fielded a stronger line-up against Maidstone..Fancied us for a result if we had played the same starting 11. Kirby/Devine/Taj? Anyone know why they were absent? For me,five at the back only works for us if we have Kirbs/Doyle/Claudio as the centre three.Also i believe we need one of the wing-backs to be a pacy wideman (ie..Tyler). Dulwich's main threat was their two fast wingers,who were invariably up against one of our three centre-backs in a one-sided foot race ( a senario that resulted in their goal.) I thought Stanley/Tyler/Corey played well and gave everything..Overall the mood on the pitch and in the crowd was stangely lack-lustre.A hangover from the excitement of the maidstone game perhaps. We are not far off now.A Town team that puts out it strongest line-up and plays well,is now a match for the very best teams in this league.
