Burnham 1-2 Sough Town

[Ian]

Slough took the lead with a sliced lob from Glen Harris after 15 minutes or so. Burnham equalised after 30 minutes with a neat finish at the near post. Ian Hodges secured the win with a scrappy goal that ricocheted off him and a defender and span into the net while he was on the floor. Matty Miller had a goal disallowed for offside in the first half.

 

Andy Ballard looked good at the back alongside Steve Daly who's clearly been borrowing Wilko's sunbed.

[Tom]

Ballard did look good along side Daly, especially liked his no nonsense approach to the game.

 

Only bit of concern for me was the left hand side. None of the players from my point of view looked great down that side.

[Woody SUFC]

No nonsense? Ballboy's around the league should be warned about him!

Brief report now online for those not there on the official site, www.sloughtownfc.net

I thought Matt Miller had left or is he playing with Burnham?

[Chris]

Agree Ballard played well. I though Sam Shepherd was the best player on the pitch though. Left hand side is a bit of a worry, but I understand Eddie has a few ideas for players in those positions.

 

I'm sure we will see a few different faces over the pre-season campaign as trialists come and go and Eddie makes new signings.

 

Also thought Johnny Mason looked good when he came on as well.

 

Congratulations to Christian Metcalfe who was missing as his partner had a baby I understand. Anyone know where Dan Cann is or if Eddie has invited him back?

[Tom]

Who was the guy who came on with Johnny Mason and slotted into the midfield. He looked alright.

 

Congradulations too to Metcalfe.

Burnham player now Mats.

[Ian]

Yes, forgot to mention Johnny Mason who was very effective when he came on.

[charlie]

thought Ballard looked extremely effective today, and Shephard, Hodges, Harris, Carbon and Masons all looked quality....and of course Parky but that goes without saying

[HorshamRebel]

Johnny Mason looks like he might be good for us. Another player who likes to take the oppo on.

 

I thought we played quite well considereing it was our first game, and most players looked extremely brown.

[Martin]

Mason did look good and is not afraid to have a shot which is big plus. I actually thought Larve looked quite good on the left hand side. Daly and Ballard look to have a chance of developing a useful partnership.

[Guest]

I think Lovegrove will probably play left hand side of the three at the back. He's on his way back from injury at the moment but should be ready within the next couple of weeks according to Kevin.Should fit in well alongside Ballard and Daly do you think?

How many we taking to tomorrows game?

[BFR]

Probably less than were there on Saturday, being a midweek game, but certainly a reasonable number. Already looking forward to the privilege of paying a pound to park in a field.

[Reading Rebel]

Unless I'm mistaken wasn't it £8 to get in last time on top of the £1 parking fee.

[Dominic]

I remember they ripped us off but i didn't think it was that much.

[GarySTFC]

Thought it was around that much as I got in for free as they didn't charge me for some reason...

[Ted]

A late observation, but was I the only person who thought that the old offside rules were used?

[GarySTFC]

Thought someone said at the game that the new rules weren't being implemented as they were too confusing for officials (not to mention everyone else).

[budman13]

I may be wrong but I thought that the FA and UEFA had opted not to change the rule but it would apply in England matches as per FIFA instructions.
