Only 4 points behind 'Arlow now! Great news. We still have a chance of taking the runners up spot and bring a bit of silverware to the club.

Come on Rhymenreason. This seems a bit harsh to only copy and paste the top of the table down to Enfield FC. Whatever happened to the remaining seven teams? It was a great Town performance last night and we are thoroughly deserving of the third place in the table but let’s press on for 2nd.

[Mr Happy]

Agree. Those were tough conditions to play in and I think the summary on our site pretty much sums the game up. We just about deserved our win against a good Canvey side. Great to have some oppo fans to banter with too. Some good hearted singing and some friendly banter.

[Father Jack]

Have to disagree here - not a great performance, but a great win - the classic 'win ugly' in fact. I thought our second half performance was very poor, and the standard of passing diabolical. Thankfully, the one part of our game that is functioning fully is the defence, and Canvey didn't have a meaningful shot at goal all night.

 

Though I'd be happy to sail into the play-offs on a tide of sterile 1-0 wins, it doesn't mean that I have to enjoy them!

[townerboy]

I agree, nto a vintage performance. perhaps it was too cold. good effort by the canvey fans though, its a long way to coem on a horse.

[Steph]

Father Jack,

 

I disagree with your post. Our second half performance was far better than the first. You seem to have forgotten the first 20 minutes when we could barely get it out of our half!

 

In the second half Canvey appeared to change to a back 3 with their numb er 6 pushing further forward. This gave our forwards more room and, with a bit of luck, we may have got 2 or 3 more. I tought Dave Allen should have been on from the start he is the only defender we have that has pace. In the first half the winger on the club side was getting a lot of balls across and looked dangerous when DA came on he had him bottled up and served for breakfast.

[Father Jack]

I can't believe that we saw the game so totally differently. Defence excepted - we were awful in the second half; at one point I think we'd gone 20 minutes without completing a pass properly. Still not complaining about the result though.

 

As for the Canvey winger, behind the goal we spent the game giggling at his incompetence; he spent most of the first half dribbling the ball out of play or falling over for no convincing reason.

[Mr Happy]

I do agree with FJ about the passing. Some of it was pretty dire. However, during the foinal 20 we really started to look threatening and created a few good chances

[YELLOW]

Some nice comments on our forum and it was good to have some fans to banter with. Most grounds we go to the home support consists of two men and a dog!!!

 

Thought you just edged it. We defended well but didn't have a lot of ideas in attack. The winger you're talking about is Chris Bourne. He started well but faded later in the game although he worked bloody hard all game.

 

Good luck for the rest of the season. Think we might get you again in the play offs at some stage if we make it.

[Southport - TOWNER]

I think "young" Nick enjoyed the game and celebrated his birthday

Ilford are bottom now after losing 3-1 at home to Flackwell Heath last night.

[Mr Happy]

Let's hope that Ilford do drop. In the event of us not winning the play offs another trip to that dump of a ground would be awful. Shame Flackwell have had such a poor season. Nice club and people.

There are nice people at Ilford too but it isn't the most fan friendly ground.
