       Thoughts and feedback

       Well a busy weekend of matches over and both tinged with
       differing levels of disappointment
       Anybody want to share their thoughts or feedback on the last few
       days?
       For me On Friday their was a lot of positives that probably
       outweigh the result, we grafted as a team and at times made them
       look very average. I honestly think that the final whistle came
       at the wrong time for us and given an extra five ten minutes we
       would have nicked it. One thing the whole day proved was how
       enjoyable those type of events are and it has made me hungry to
       get to more finals, next season we will be lifting silverware I
       am sure.
       On Sunday, I was left very disappointed . It is easy to point to
       the depleted numbers, but we should have had enough about us to
       beat them. I was not impressed by them at all, all they relied
       on was he long throw and hump forward. We added to our own
       downfall but freak errors happen and it is unfair to blame
       anyone, but we didn't play enough football, our strengths are
       when we get the ball down and play, at times we cut through them
       with ease when we played it simple, at times , myself included
       panicked on the ball and reverted to long hopeful balls. I don't
       know why this was the case, maybe the pitch, maybe tiredness
       from Friday. But I think moving forward we need to get back to
       basics, play short sharp passes that create space rather than
       trying to force the play, doing this I'm sure we will start
       creating chances and winning games.
       Still a long way to go this season lads, some very tough but
       winnable games starting on Sunday at Belmont, let's push on and
       see just how high up we can finish
       We have come so far in the past year so let's make sure the
       season ends with some high notes

       Friday we were awesome. We started slow and looked nervous but
       after the first 15 we looked solid and comfortable.
       We scored our goal too late and probably would've gone on to win
       it if we'd scored earlier. We can be proud of the performance
       though and take it into the rest of the season.
       Sunday I thought we were unlucky but we were poor at times (not
       as poor as the ref mind, the knacker). Johnny and Anth played
       well for their first game and considering the players we had
       missing I thought we did alright.
       Still plenty to play for this season so we'll need a big
       performance against Belmont and they always give us a good
       physical game.

       Biggest thing Sunday I noticed when I came on was the lack of
       simple passing. Picking out the simple ball was often neglected
       which is odd because this is our biggest threat. Keeping
       possession and playing neat simple passes creates space and we
       just didn't do it at all.
       Like Paul has said, I don't know if it was a hangover from
       Friday for some of the lads or what, but that game should never
       have been lost.
       Would also like to agree with Kev that Anth grafted well and
       worked well n the midfield, and Jonny took his goal well and
       looked a threat whenever he got the ball.
       Let's just get back the attitude and application we showed on
       Friday and win our remaining games!!!

       Friday speaks for itself, best effort av seen by us in the two
       years av played for the duck, the graft was unreal we were so
       unlucky. Sunday I was still quite impressed by us positives to
       take in that Johnny and Anth made there debuts and did well for
       me personally I felt I was getting up and down well just had
       absolutly nothing in me cos I ran me knackers off Friday and 2nd
       half showed I couldn't carry on really but still think we done
       ok so just take the positives have a bit of a rest and get
       ourselves ready for Belmont Sunday.
