MATCH UPATE: Chelmsford v Slough

[Emma-STFC]

 

Both Dell and Drake have left Slough Town FC. We do have a new keeper, although not sure of his name yet, apparently we have done a swap with Oxford City.

[Tom]

Something Farrow, according to the text I got about the keeper.

 

Edit: Lee Farrow after some investigation.

A quick Googling later, it turns out Lee Farrow used to be with Walsall and Stevenage before going into local football and being snapped up by Oxford City.

Yes, the keeper is called Lee Farrow and the score is currently nil - nil

[Balmoral Claret]

City 1-0 up now (Ibe, 30)

[A Rebel and a Saint]

HT Chelmsford 1-0 Rebels

[Tom]

HT: 1-0

Another half time score:

 

Hendon 0-0 Worthing

 

think we could do with that one staying as a draw! if hendon win we could go bottom.

[Balmoral Claret]

Now City 2-0 up (Minton)

[Balmoral Claret]

Now 3-0 (Ibe again)

[Balmoral Claret]

4-0 (Ainsley)

[Balmoral Claret]

5-0 (Hallett)

[Tom]

FT: 5-0

Battled well until about the hour mark and then the legs ran out really. The result was never really in doubt as Chelmsford dominated throughout but Slough did have some chances through Miller, Roberts and Daly and started brightly in either half.

 

Well done to all the lads who took to the field today and gave their all.

22nd place now <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

On goal difference, but with 3 games in hand. Ashford on boxing day is going to be crucial.

[Matt]

Before anyone gets carried away over the result (particularly any Chelmsford fans reading), the team was:

 

Farrow, Braith, Mills, Daly, Roberts, Perrineau-Daley, Nsubugu, Wilkinson, Moleski, West, Miller

 

And this was the team that went to the home of the league favourites looking for points. New keeper in goal - hardly going to be a confidence-booster. Rav at right-back - when was the last time he started a match? Mark West, the 40 year old manager, forced to start because there's nobody else. And then Westy switches himself to right-back for the second half to make up the numbers there.

 

The team changes every week and just gets weaker and weaker. Nothing we can do about it except watch teams walk all over us despite some valiant efforts. And there was plenty of effort out there today along with some pretty desperate defending. It could have been 15-0 today, but does that even matter? We still gave the players applause at the end and they appreciated it.

 

And I still maintain that if being relegated is the worst thing to happen to Slough Town FC this season, I'll be a happy man.

well windsor played on their pitch today, losing 2-0 to burnham i believe, so i wonder what state the pitch will be in for our crucial game with ashford on tuesday...

Well said Matt. Course you don't wanna lose 5-0, but were up against a team of players who are to all intense and purposes last years conference Canvey Island team, who have a hefty budget compared to ours of £0!

 

It was always going to be difficult as we lost Dell and Terry Davies was on holiday, but it's the Ashford and Walton type games that will determine how the season goes.

 

PS: Someone shoot the Parrott to put him out of his mysery!!

Seems Dell HAS gone to Basingstoke, not Oxford City - Drake's the only one who has gone there.
