Redbridge match thread

[Ian]

I'm pretty sure it was Mason too. The problem with 4-4-2 (which isn't a problem when you win 4-1, of course) is that Josias barely got forward once all game.

 

Obviously that was good from a defensive point of view because we looked much more solid at the back with a 4-4-2 formation but it limits us going forward.

 

Difficult to criticise a great performance and victory though.....although I'm sure Opti would find something to moan about had he been there.

[GarySTFC]

I think having Harris on the right hand side of midfield would allow Josi to feel a bit more confident about getting past the midfielder on the overlap. Josh looked a bit out of sorts positionally (is that a word??) in the first half when played at right mid, so I think JC was being cautious of this.

 

That said, we did look more solid at the back, but let's not get carried away too much as that side is probably the cheapest assembled in the league (rumours of a £500 p/w wage budget), so we'll come across much sterner tests, especially with the front two of Wealdstone on Saturday.

Much better tonight, but we need this kind of performance against the better teams in the division. Redbridge are almost certainly relegation fodder, but at least we've taken the six points from them.

 

Don't think we can go on playing 4-4-2 even though it worked tonight as it severely restricts the ability of Woodruffe and Carbon to get forward - although I suspect that if we weren't winning as comfortably as we were tonight, Eddie would have placed Ballard back into central defence and pushed the wingbacks up.

Great result - looks like Eddie got the boys up for it last night.

 

The 4 goals have helped the goal difference.

 

Now we need to maintain the positive outcomes to move into a more comfortable position.

 

Went to the Burnham game (as a neutral - well hoping burnham would keep some local intrest going) and was great to watch a local side beat canvey, real FA cup game with lots of passion and incidents, including a debateable last minute penalty which came about by a foul right on the line of the box - but the lino told the ref it was in the box!

 

Lets hope our boys are still up for the game Saturday against wealdstone, as they say one swallow does not make a summer or a bird flu pandemic!

[Barry Scott]

attendance given as 101 last night

[A Rebel and a Saint]

read that burnham got 607 for their match, wonder how many were rebels fans.....

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

I saw about 10 Slough, but I did not move round the ground.

 

Canvey took about 100, and Burnham had a sudden influx of chavs which the Canvey boys wound up a treat!!!

NO chance ! I was 3yds away from the incident & the boy was inside the box when his legs were taken clear away.

Back to Slough Town. Or am I on the wrong forum?

A great result tonight, and before anyone says that redbridge are not very good, neither have we been recently!

Daly, wilko, Miller, and Brooks were outstanding last night. Not that I am knocking the others!

Although opur fourth was good, as Ballard was going to take a long throw, a 'bridge defender stood right on the edge of the pitch were ballard was going to throw (the bloke wasn't off the pitch), and the lino made him go back 5 yards!!!!!!!!!!!! Top bloke

[Guest]

Out of interest who was the new bloke Wilson? on the bench?

[GarySTFC]

Johnny Wilson from Thame. Left sided player.

[Rebel Kay]

The Midweek Observer back page is a story about the fans calling Eddie to account for the bad performances etc. His response is to be in the Friday issue.

[Barry Scott]

well going back to the match, I thought the 4-4-2 worked well but needs a few more players in to fit the system. Any chance we could cut some of the dead weight in the squad to make room for some new arrivals?

[GarySTFC]

Only problem with that might be that the 'dead wood' in the squad might not be costing us anything, so by getting rid of them, we might not be freeing up any wage budget?

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

Phil yes it was clearly a foul - I was stood at the side, and from the side it was less clear which side of the line the offence took place as he was running into the area at the time. He defenatly fell in the box but at what point the foul took place was less clear.

 

Unfortuately Mr Thomas decided to go to Redbridge so no video evidence is available!!!!!

 

If you were 3 yards (9 feet)from the player, that would put you on the pitch?!?!

 

The ref gave the penalty, Burnham converted it - they are through to meet Aldershot.

[Crazy Fool]

Please! Enough already! If I wanted to talk about effing burnham I would go to their forum or watch them!

They won 2-1 . It may or may not have been a pen. Well done to them, good luck, hopoe they beat the shot's, this is a Slough forum, and the thread is about a SLOUGH TOWN win.

 

 

May be I am miserable, but, hey: mit fogsz tenni

[Guest]

No Seedel?

[Matt]

I agree Plinth. Come on people, I'm happy Burnham won too, and good luck to them, but we've heard enough surely... (well, until 1st Round day possibly)

 

And no, Seedel was not in the squad last night.

[BFR]

Seedel was out of the country according to Mrs Thomas

[Guest]

So Brooksy played well?
