Just been having a look at the league and wanted to share my thoughts with you lot. This week we entertain Barsham at home. A tricky tie but lets be honest everyone in this league deserves respect as there is no easy game. We have to keep the level of commitment we have been showing. We know we aren’t the best footballing team in the league – fact, but we are doing something right as when you look at who’s sitting above us, we’ve beaten or taken points from all the ones we have played. Norton, FC Hearts, Wrentham and Hearts of Oak have all played us and we’ve taken points off all of them. What this means is that we have to beat the teams below us or all that effort and hard work we have put in to beat the high flyers is wasted. We have literally shed blood sweat and trainers to beat the tough teams so we need to show the same amount of effort and determination to beat the teams sitting below us. This is the key to doing well or mediocre in this league, last year we were sloppy in these types of games and struggled. If we want to do well we can’t afford to do this. If we drop points here this week we will be gutted and I know that none of us want to feel that so let’s play like our life depends on it.
I don’t like singling out players because we are a team but you can’t deny that Scotty goes into every challenge like a man possessed, likewise Rosey and Birdy. I’m not suggesting we all do that because a; we don’t all play like that and we all bring different qualities to the team and b; the crab will have more paper work to deal with than the tax man but we can all take a bit from the passion they play with. I managed to pick up MOM last week, not gonna dwell on it too much (seriously I’m not..what a header though) because I thought everyone involved last week stepped up their game. I haven’t played for three weeks and I have been ill so I had the lung capacity of a shrew, which meant I had to keep things simple, pick out easy passes to retain the ball and make sensible runs. Food for thought lads, worked for me.
I’m really looking forward to this weekend and the game, let’s not let ourselves down lads and let’s go out Sunday night on a win.
See ya soon knacker grabers
