4-1!!!

[Guest]

Well we revert to a 4-4-2 and conceed only one goal - again at the far post but not bad...

 

Gregory proved his Wigan goal wasn't just a fluke either!! I thought Kevin Dobinson looked good today on his League debut considering I hadn't seen him play in any of the friendlies.

 

Forbes & Protheroe ran ragged down the wings today as did Duffy & JK.

 

Gregory, Boylan & Brayley all had great games today, Brayley especially two well placed goals - Him and Boylan could grab 30-40 goals each this season!!!

 

Pity the Brayley name was let down by the attitude of his Mother in the second half, who does she think she is slagging Merv off? We come to see Canvey Island FC, not just your Son love!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angryfire.gif" alt="" />

I don't really mind if someone wants to have a pop at me, but if anyone wants to give it out, they have to be prepared to take some back. That's what banter is all about, surely?

 

When Bertie's mum started her 'attack' on me, I was guilty of calling out to the talented striker something along the lines of, "Why the heck didn't you release that ball to Boylan, who was perfectly placed to slot home, instead of blasting it way over the bar?"

 

Not unreasonable, I would have thought. Bertie was guilty on one or two occasions of being greedy in this way. I suppose he was after his hat-trick. On the other hand, isn't it good to see someone who is prepared to have a shot? Too often in the past Canvey have been guilty of wanting to walk the ball into the net. Nice to see someone is prepared to shoot on sight.

 

That's how he scored his second goal - and what a corker that was. He deserved to be man of the match.

 

But I still reserve the right to call out, jeer, complain, moan and criticise, just as I enjoy cheering, applauding, singing and encouraging the lads. No matter who is standing next to me.
