Today Vs Canvey

[EUFC superb]

Defence was excellent today! Only worry was the marking was slack for their goal.

[Stu M]

Echo everyone's comments, slow start, poor marking for their goal, but superb in the second half. MacDonald was excellent, as was McShane in goal... shame we have two full-time keepers as he'd be a good season-long loan prospect!

How does the video prove that Drury was using foul language and threatening behaviour throughout?

 

Firstly, I rather doubt the recording would have picked up the things that Andy said, even in the deathly hush of Canvey's ground, and secondly, I equally doubt the camera spent the whole 90 minutes trained on Jukebox!

 

If the penalty went in our favour, then asLiam said, it makes up for the (to quote Liam) the "stonewall" penalty we didnt get against Exeter.

Has jeff king moved house to the dugout? I don't believe i saw him move from there at all

Perhaps he is wedged in there and relying on seagulls to feed him burger scraps etc......

Are your eyes deceiving you - according to the Canvey message board, he was in the stand all game due to atouchline ban!!

[David Holden]

He was standing behind the barrier just to the right of the dugout wearing a yellow cap.

[Gordon T]

ah k, sorry, i was at the side kind of so when looked over thougt i saw him in the dugout! he wasnt realy banend from the side then was he?

We aint Exeter if you are gonna cheat cheat against them, you can clearly hear him on the tapes.

 

You have an Ex Hornchurch mercenery that has no interest in your club, bringing your clubs name down into the dirt for his personal short term gain.

 

It was not long ago he was 100% HX, money run out so did he, he cheated us today, as I said before WHAT GOES AROUND WILL COME AROUND.

made the long journey up from cardiff today after the first 10 minutes wondered why I had bothered however full marks to the team for a great 2nd half performance thought we bossed the game for 75 minutes their keeper made 3 one on one saves great finish from Charlie....thought the ref was good today for once did not flash the cards

Of course you thought the ref was good, he favoured your team of cheaters....

[Fleet fan]

sorry mate u missed a cracker

[Fleet fan]

i actually thought the ref was poor too, your only moaning because you got beat by a better team on the day how many saves did your keeper make compared to ours he kept you in the game until Macs winner

[Ian_D]

Who needs Tait when you got good ol Macdonald...

On the contrary, I thought that the referee had a reasonable game today. Other referees might have brandished a few more cards but he managed to keep everything on the level without having to resort to that.

[EUFC superb]

I felt the Assistant was poor. The ref had a decent game - he wasn't foul happy and played a good few advantages.

[Jimmy]

The "delayed" offside linesman was nearly as poor as Theobald for Canvey.

[Blinkjim]

Good game yesterday, although it did get off to a slow start. I feel that we deserved the win, its amazing how much of a difference it makes when we get the ball on the deck and give up playing the long ball. Some good linkage between jacko and skinner as well a proths and Drury.

 

Mayby the team starting to get used to each other now. Felt the GK was excellent, was very confident going up for the ball yet to see him make a proper save like a one on one, but felt he was very good. IMO drury played well, not brilliant, but well, but yet still heard some people moaning at him, dont think it'll be long before hes gone.

 

Onwards and upwards, lets see how well we do in the next few games.

On creation of chances, at least, one can hardly dispute that we deserved it, since Manny (at least twice), Surey and Jukebox all had efforts well saved and Ross Smith headed just over in the second half, amongst other chances. In comparison, McShane had little to do saves-wise, except smothering one effort.

 

The last minute winner (our first since Moussa's against Stevenage) reminded me how enjoyable watching the Fleet can be, after Tuesday's debacle.
