Match report v Goff Old Boys - Saturday 31st October 2009

League game Saturday 31st October 2009 away v Goffs Old Boys
Won 1 - 0

It was good to get back to a League game again after so many cup games. This was only our second league game of the season. Looking at the league table it seems that since we beat Belonians in our first game of the season they have improved a great deal as they are sitting on top of the league after having some good results. Or it could be that the teams they have been playing are shit.

On Saturday morning I got a call from Tony saying that the Vets had a cup game and only had 10 players. So I as I am an old git I went and made the 11th man.
Wasn't much use as we lost 4 - 3.

Therefore I couldn't be at the game on Saturday.

According the Shag they were not a bad side and Sean says they are the hardest team that we have played this season. I was also told that they were a physical side. Good goal by Niki by all accounts which gave us the lead in the first half. They also went down to 10 men by getting someone sent off, but still came at us in the second half.

Good three points and a clean sheet.

It is difficult to mark everyone out of 10 this week as I wasn't there, but I recon you were all shit this week as we struggled to beat a team with 10 men. So therefore I will give everyone a mark of 5 excepts for Niki who scored - 7 and man on the match, according to Chambers, Adam Barrett - 8.

or

We could see it as a good win against a difficult side away from home and everyone gets an 8, with man of the match Adam getting 9.

The choice is yours! Let me have your comments.

Next week is another league game away to Leyton County. I will post details in due course.

I also need annual subs paid as from next week I will not be able to pick you if you have not paid up - £65.
