30th March Home vs Strollers

Speaking to Dai after the game he pointed out that the Strollers pretty much strolled it. Which to be fair they did. I'm not going to hang around on here rolling out the funnies, making light work of what a ball ache running a Sunday football team can be when me inclination to be organised is slightly higher than my inclination to be intruded by a large Russian or being made to eat your own shit, or worse still someone else's.

So with that in mind. We lost the first half 5-0 - a mixture of them passing their way round us easily, a bit of luck, a few howlers and making it hard for ourselves.

Second half, Jeff had been on the side and we put some plans in place to play some football, restore some pride and limit the already considerable damage. 2-2. We are going to have to start scouting other teams' matches at this rate. Paul scored a great goal and the second was quite good too. About the only positives really - so MOM for Paul this week for battling all through the game. Gibbsy and Simon also deserve a mention. Also it was a welcome return for Chris G, Besty and Hectar Fahey if not such a happy result.

So for the stupid amongst you (which would include me if I wasnt writing this) we lost 7-2. We are always going to lose 7-2 to a team who does a warm down after the game.

For the record it was me in goal, Hectar at right back, Gibbsy and Chris G in the middle of defence with Besty at left back, Pete on the left wing, Iain on the right wing, Woody and Simon in central midfield, Micah and Paul up front. At half time we moved to a 3-5-2 with Jeff coming on for HF, and moving into midfield and Liam swapping with Chris G.

We've got a chance to put it right next week against the same team. Let it not be such a stroll this time please...
