Better cross that time.

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

H.T.
0-0

 

[Blue Yonder]

By far the better team so hopefully no 2nd half drop off. We can win if this carries on.

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Decent first half playing with confidence just need to be watchfull of a breakaway and there number 9

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Goodliffe is making Gubbins look like Rudi Krol.
Was worried when I saw his name on the sheet, and he's not given me a reason to think otherwise.
All very neat and tidy, as Norbot would have it - but nothing that says a glut of goals.
We'll have to score them all in the second 45.

 

[Simon Templar]

KAF definitely looks a good find. Like his positive move the ball forward approach.

 

[Shrimper]

Have had our chances. Need to take them

 

[Barling Magna]

An entertaining first half. We've had several half and even three quarter chances but no luck. Boston had one good chance and we could be going in a goal down

So let's go again in the second half but with more accurate crosses and with more than one of our players in their area.

Goodliffeskeeps falling over and looks unfit running back to position. Gubbins has been ok but always looks like he’s scared of the ball - or just bad anticipation :/

 

[Mad Cyril]

I have more than a feeling that we will win this.

Agreed! But compared with a player who slips over because he's too slow to react, he as you say done OK.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Yep, KAF is the MOTM first half. I like the way the game has panned out, with them not having many chances, and us regularly creating a few half chances. Keep creating them and one will eventually go in.

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Can see a 1-0 loss coming

It’s his combative nature too which I’ve been impressed with, as well as his strength. Hoped he’d come good and glad Maher had to play him in that period as otherwise he may have just tried to offload him.

 

[Uncle_Rons_Teapot]

That was the awful first half also hopefully a better second to come

 

[Swiss Tony]

We must test their keeper he looks nervous and fragile.( ****e)

Their keeper looks like he’s got a howler in him. I’m almost waiting for him to drop a routine save straight in the path of one of our forwards. If I were Kev I’d be telling them to chase every shot and back pass in second half.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Really? They're not great, but heard a lot worse... quite a few times.

They're OK, but I think it a dereliction of duty not to learn the correct pronunciation of names.

 

[JCB]

This is there for the taking. We need it

 

[SouthendSpence]

The HT highlights package showed it to be massively in our favour. They only had that one chance from the slip. We can do this just need to grab a goal
