Saturdays v Heybridge

[paulc27]

If Dorms is fit then I reckon the team will be unchanged from the one that started on Tuesday. I think we will need to put in the same effort as we did in the first half on tues for the whole 90mins v Heybridge as I seem to remember them leaving with the points a few too many times recently.

I wonder how the players regard Bertie since he left? Will be interesting to see.

My prediction is for a very close 1-0 to us, with a late goal coming from a midfielder.

Hopefully a decent crowd too.

If Dormer isn't fit I can see Henty filling the left wing role with Cuz staying as striker with Wareham and Kerrigan going left back...

 

But, there is also an arguement for Cuz going on the left and Nathan starting up front, with Henty over lapping on the left...Interesting to see what Justin does.

 

Anyone agree / disagree?

Id be much happier with Cousins up front than on the wing to be honest, from the games ive seen hes been much more productive up top. No reason why Henty shouldnt play left, will be interesting to see. I reckon 1-0 or 2-1 is a good call, Heybridge looked a decent side on the first day of the season and Brayley IS a good player. Could be our first 'double' of the season.

[Bill of Shenfield]

I also think that Cus is better in attack than on the wing, which is why I believe we lost our way against Staines. If Dorms isn't playing Gary Henty should take his place and Danny fills in at left back.

I've no doubt that our Village friends will come and try and kick us off the park. They have this annoying habit of raising it for our games.

If we're gonna get promoted we need to win games like this and I think we have reached a stage where we can grind a result out. My predictions:

 

Ricay 3 Swifts 1

Att. 500

 

and... plenty of stick for Brayley!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[extaffyjim]

Yeah, i think for promotion contention we should be looking at winning 5 of our 6 games in December. 2 out of 2 so far, lets keep the roll going

[btfc 4 ever]

i think that we have shown taht we have the potenial to get promoted by the way we played against stevenage and bognor, its jusst we have got to keep the stanards and when things start going against us not over react and start to get red card

 

billericay 2-0 heybridge

[Simon BTFC]

If I may quote from a sneak preview I've seen of the programme editor's collection of cliches for Saturday....

 

Of course league form counts for nothing in local derbies, and today's opponents are sure to be hungry to avenge their opening day defeat when we won 1-0 at Scraley road courtesy of a goal from Danny Hockton

 

And I reckon that's true. As Ryan says Heybridge will want to raise their game for this one, and will no doubt be prepared for a bit of a battle. It'll be tough and if you offered me a scrappy 1-0 I'd take it, but I think we'll have to defend a bit better than on Tuesday to win. Prediction 2-2, both sides to have a player sent off.

We can ill afford sendings off..just hope our lads can keep their heads if Haybrige decide to be "tactical"

[extaffyjim]

When was the last time we had a man sent off? Cant remember one this season

[btfc 4 ever]

i reckon that we will have 11 men on the field and heybridge will have 9 men because they will get frustrated with the quality football of us

The last player I remember getting sent off for us was Dave Reddington against Thurrock last October (03). He got booked for a foul (I think) and then cleverly received a second yellow 5 minutes later for kicking the ball away. It was 0-0 at the time and we ended up losing 1-0.

As for this game I suspect Brayley will be sent off for them for being a t**t and Kieran will receive his marching orders for kicking Brayley (along the ground natch <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />)

Although Hockers did get sent off as well that season for topically enough pointing out the error of the linesman's ways. - Can't remember who that was against tho.....

[Simon BTFC]

Harrow on March 13th.

Pretty sure that was our last sending off, but since I spent the end of the season in a bit a beery haze I can't be sure <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
