Tonights updates

[Cookie]

15 players out there(no names as yet) but kicking around in warm up was Darren Annon. Roughly the same line up as saturday it seems.

32 minutes gone still 0-0 but Staines are doing all the work I'm told but that may not be the full story. We are holding our own in defence up till now.

New Player on bench(GERMAINE BROWN)

Half-time 0-0

Being overun by a good opposition midfield.

Margate no worthwhile chances except one good shot by Hassim Dean(Seems to have a good shot on him appartently).

Closest to a goal was on 4oth minute cleared off Margates line.

They are quicker and looking more fitter and better organised at the moment so though its not looking bright we must take heart that we are still 0-0 at half-time.

thanks for the update Cookie, hopefully Kinnear will be able to talk sum life into the team at half time...

[TonyM]

Trust in CK,he and the lads will do there best,possibly let them run out of puff and then get the winner,all in all,up the GATE.

Staines 1 "Gate" 0 (54 mins) High ball into box and scorer puts it in the net from the header down. Similar goal to Braithewaites on saturday apparently.

3-2 to Dover! Go onto their site and read the live updates page...amazing comeback!

Seems a bit odd as it looked like Aldershot had only just signed him!!

12 August re Aldershot

 

Ex-Boston and Lewes midfielder Jermaine Brown, 22, who can also play up front, completes the quartet of signings

About 10 minutes to go still losing 1-0 and though trying to get forward & doing slightly better are not really threatening the oponents goal.

Mitten brings down opposing player in penalty box with 4 minutes to go. Penalty scored Staines 2 Margate 0 (latest).

[Cookie]

2-1 Jermaine Brown scores on as sub 1 minute to go!

Full Time Staines 2 Margate 1 Attendance 314

 

Margate never really in the hunt.No midfield and generally second best all night.

Staines by far the better team on the night.

Now for Bank holiday and lets get back to winning ways..we hope.

Football seasons a mathon not a sprint. Much work still to do me thinks but im sure ck wont be happy with that.

Above courtesy of Michael Michael and Barry the Barber.

General summing up says that Dean and Kola had good games.

Mitten looked rather nervous in goal and Staines superior fitness ruled the day.

Maybe we also came up against a better side too early in the season.They were streets ahead it seems.Not the end of the world but still disappointing nevertheless.

[TonyM]

Lets wait till 31st,thats when we will see CK do his best.

Why the 31st Tone?

[Paul H]

I dont think we expect alot this season apart from a mid table position or maybe playoffs. Infact playoffs would be a bonus. This has to be a team building season me thinks.
