FT: Slough Town 1 Cheshunt 0 - Bryco Cup 3rd Round

[Rebel_Glen]

A Matt Murphy goal in the 85th minute sends the Rebels into round 4.

[GarySTFC]

Sixteen touches from two yards to get the ball into the net, well done Smurf 2!! Plenty of chances for us as we hit the woodwork three or four times as we dominated the first half. They came back into it in the second and some bad misses and good saves from Allaway kept the score goal less.

 

Murphy popped up at the end after Hodges had a shot saved by their mouthy keeper (silly boy) and Smurf stuck in the rebound.

 

Line up was: (4-4-2)

Allaway

Steer

Mi Murphy

Gyoury

Saulsbury

Haddow

Metcalfe

Hakki

Spencer

Hodges

Ma Murphy

Subs:

Carbon (For Spencer 70 ish)

Wilkinson

Parkin

Harris

Daly

Amber Nectar where were all your fans!

 

We did not need to feed Russell as you reserve keeper obliged and will he be sore when BFR finishes with him!!!

 

We scored more than you've got fans doh dah, doh dah.

 

Thats 2 cups we put you out off, is it not?

[Ted]

I suspect many will disagree, but I thought that Hakki played well tonight, particularly in the first half.We have missed someone playing a holding midfield role, and his return signaled a bettere midfield performance, and more chances created.

[GarySTFC]

Thought too often he tried to do clever little flicks and turns when a simple ball would have done fine. I though the better performance came from the 4-4-2, but then I would say that! Having just watched through the highlights (clips not really visible from the turnstile end mind), we did create a fair few chances....

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

Superb result! Hurrah

[Chris]

Veli played well especially in the first-half with the about 10 minutes remaining of that half when we created lots of chances. Hodgey and Matt Murphy both missed sitters and hit the bar in this period when they should have scored.

 

Trouble is if you play Veli I think you have to leave out Chopper as you will not get away with playing both of them in midfield at this level whereas you did in Ryman 1. You could play Chopper wide right in a 4-4-2 behind Josias, but I thought Spence played pretty well there tonight.

 

Personally at the moment i'd play Veli as we have been creating very little and he does create chances and he keeps the ball better than Chopper.

[GarySTFC]

I'd play Glen on the right side of the four in midfield in place of Spencer, and Wilko in for Mets. Think that would be more or less our best line up then IMO.

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

I think Veli needed last nights game to get him back into playing 90 mins. He just needs to sharpen up his skills and only competetive games will do this.

 

It was also intresting to see both Haddow and Steer on the left and their pace and crosses did cause the defence problems and I would like to see Eddie try this more often.

 

Putting Chopper on the right is one option but why not put him in Metcalfs role as I still lack confidence in him.

[Tom]

Can someone tell me who the guy was with Eddie last night?

 

Looked like a goal keeper that played 3 or 4 games with us last season.

[BFR]

You're right Tom, that man is Alan Judge, who is now on the coaching staff. This season he has been taking charge of the reserves.

[Mark44]

when is the draw for the next round.

 

Hopefully at home to either Burgess hill town or cray wanderers which is played tonite

[Dominic]

I think i remember BFR saying the draw is on Thursday!

[BFR]

The isthmian website the draw for the next round will appear on it tomorrow

How did Nick Gyuory play?

[Martin]

Nick did not really stand out which means he probably had a fairly solid game. I think the back four of Sauls, Gyoury, Murph and Steer/Haddow (who seemed to interchange) looked good. I think this could pose Eddie a few problems if he is considering a switch back to 4-4-2. But it is nice in a way to have "selection" difficulties.

 

I thought Hakki did well although at times he seems a bit ginger in going into the tackle which is understandable given his injury problems.

[GarySTFC]

Hakki did have one 50/50 in the second half which I thought he went right through. Good test for his knee which came out OK which is good news.

[A Rebel and a Saint]

good to hear we won, there was no way i could find out, it wasnt on any of the text services on tv and i couldnt get on the net either!

any idea when the fourth round draw is? i know the game should be on the 5th of february

[Mark (Flag) Braintree]

Are you sure about that date.

 

Just that F.A.Trophy is 5/2/5.

oops sorry, getting confused with the cups now!

 

interesting to see hendon get beaten 6-3 at home to leatherhead in the bryco cup, not sure if that could be a good thing going into the trophy match on saturday!
