Excellent Performance

[Dave Dixon]

On that form a play off place is very likely.

Apart from some dross at the start of second half it was a pleasure to be there today.

I would change 'flapper' Charlie but keep the rest as are.

Well done boys.

Dave.

[Andy .]

yep well done boys , but they have got to stop giving those nail biting 20 mins of worry , otherwise great stuff today .almost got my prediction right , hockton hatrick and Mckimm with 2 , Hopefully Mckimm can score the other one for me on tuesday night but not complaining about 4-1 at all . Up the Gate.

[Margate Martian]

yep a very good result. top of table is looking very interesting now. shame rams won tho. booooo!

tuesday game is a biggy and important. if we could pull off a win that would be brilliant!!

come on the gate!!!!

[Dave Dixon]

McKimm should have had 2 when he blasted over instead of chipping keeper.

You were close!

Danny could have had 6 and the team generally could have had 10 on a very good day!

Harrow were awful though.

The only shot on target was their goal from a Charlie flap.

[Dave Dixon]

I do think Pat was lucky to stay on after swearing at the ref, considering he booked others for swearing.

Contrary to some at the ground I thought he had a good game. Not that it was a dirty game.

I wonder if Pat will be there tuesday or will he do another vanishing trick?

Yes indeed a very good performance all but for that "lull" for 25 minutes after half time.When consistency was asked for I'm more than sure that that didnt include that "consistent "lull". However its good to get the positive consistency in order & now its time to do AWAY with the consistent "lull" when going two goals up.If we can sort that out then we will have one "hellava team" indeed.

Agree Charlie did himself no favours today but in general he did all others things that were expected of him.

Maybe giving both keepers a run of say 3 or 4 games each wouldnt harm things.Both are generally as good as each other.I also agree though that my preference is for Scott & thats not a criticism against Charlie.I just feel the extra athleticism that Scott has just shades it for me.

All players did well today & I pick out Smith today as the player who "came of age". A few out of positions,a few mistimed tackles but on the whole,bearing in mind his youth & inexperience,he impressed me most.Good to see Danny back on song again.That third of his was so so well taken from right under his feet.

A good effort again all round by all & thats the consistency that has been missing but of which we are now getting. If we can now clean up that

"lull" then we will be "firing" on ALL cylinders.

In contrast to last weeks "icing on the cake" with Ramsgates reversal,this week the opposite can be said but we must give them credit for such a good result today.Seems neither can shake off the other yet thats no bad thing.

Two good results for Thanet & both deserved. Praise to both sets of players today I feel.

Both Margate FC & Ramsgate FC are both doing their towns proud at this time. More of the public should be getting down there & seeing these two good examples being set.

Well Hockton done the biz today ran his socks off. Did Trotty give him the week off work. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> Great job by the team ref had a good first half must have lost a contact lense in the second.

[Chris1]

Yes, excellent performance all round. Sappleton just the ticket - hope he stays.

 

SCS deserves a regular start: it should increase his value too, if he gets spotted by a big club.

 

Hard to pick a MOM. Jackson/Skinner both great on the left. Ditto Smith/Saunders on the right. Perhaps DH for the hat-trick? Personally I thought Trotty was great today, particularly that perfect through ball for Danny's second goal.

[Cookie]

Trotty was indeed great as were ALL the others today.No exceptions from me today.

Lack of concentration for the full 90 minutes needs adressing but other than that a very very good day at the office indeed.Not just for the result but for the chances created & the performance.Being positive certainly improves things & defending with dogged determinaton has helped no end.

[Chris1]

Only disappointment, the missing 200 spectators. Or 450.

[Dave Dixon]

How many were there?

I never heard a figure.

It was good to hear the other half times over the PA though.

[Cookie]

542 I think or something like that. I must admit it looked a better turn out than that but lets not go into that this time eh? l.o.l.

[Blues with Soul.]

Attendance = 558 according to Ryman Website, Cookie.

[MargateFan]

What a great day out.

Fine display of good passing football.

Golden boots gets another hattrick.

I am in heaven, cannot speak too highly of any of them.

Well done all the lads.

[Dave Dixon]

Yes it was good to see a Margate side passing the ball well. Very well at times.

A few went astray but only a few.

If they didn't the lads would be playing league football.

[Dave Dixon]

It will be a good test on tuesday to see how far we have come.

I think with a positive attitude we will do very well.

[Wellsie]

552 in actual fact - announced as people were leaving (oops!)

[michael]

Not bad today, but personally i thought we were more impressive/professional when we beat Chelmsford 3-0.

Midfield lost their way a bit in second half after being outstanding in the first half

 

 

 

Overall pretty happy though ,and guess you can't complain when Margate beat a team whose squad includes Premier League players Henry, Bent,Ferdinand and sTerry.

 

Yet another good game from Pinnock who was so unlucky not to score.Fantastic player

[Frankie100]

I'm sure June only in heaven as she stroked my tum after the game.

 

Man of the match Louis Smith (another of MY boys) Skinns should not have been booked as the ref was naff to say the least (Justin tell me who hit you and I'll send the boys round)

 

Ref turned up with the biggest bloody bag possible after the game which must have had the rules of football in it...next time the [****!!****] should read them BEFORE a game

 

As for the attendance a lot of new faces there today just need the other 56,500 population of the town to realise we have a football team.

[Boney Crisp]

We were brilliant today apart from those 15 minutes in the second-half when we were soaking up a bit too much pressure, but it made me enjoy the 3rd goal more, which is a good thing in some ways. We need to go into Tuesdays game knowing that we can win it, because we can.
