vs hereford

Bugga ... 0-2.. all good things must come to an end...not a good start to my Sunday.I await the postmortums...
 
Crap game.

Positives:
Phil Edwards and Darren Kempson had good games, as did Mr reliable Leam Richardson. Whalley played well when he came on.

Negatives:
Aswad was awful today- what's happened to him?
Mannix completed about 5% of his passes.
Craney/Mullin/Mangan completely absent.


Bring on the Shrimps eh.
 
Aswad was awful today- what's happened to him?
Mannix completed about 5% of his passes.

Aswad, as an eighteen year old centre half playing at left back, then left wing and finally centre forward, thought he did OK.

5% - so many? Of course, if you count the ones going sideways or backwards it would be much higher. :rolleyes:
 
higlights programe watch 2morro!! the liner is a disgrace in todays game how he can sy goal 20yards away with his back turned when the ball was CLEARLY no where near the line is beyond me fial score hereford 1- linesman 1
 
Their first goal was a shambolic effort at defending. Two people had a go at it within the six yard box before the Welshman scored beyond the despairing fingertips of Kenny Arthur.

The 2nd goal was a passback from 45 yards that Arthur had to chase. From the Clayton End it looked like he cleared it with a yard to spare, but even without the claims of the 6 or so Welshies behind the goal,the 30 yard away liner gave it. HE WAS THE ONLY WANKER IN THE GROUND WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOAL!

Disappointments were mainly that only about 160 Welshies were allowed away from their homesteads for this one and that we lost by one goal and a hotly duputed goal to nil. Also, at 2 nowt down where was the Leighton McGivern substitution?
 
So we have won two games in a row, but today we were beaten by a far superior footballing side. Remember Hereford came into the Football League when we did.
Although they get bigger gates than we do and probably have more money to splash out on players, is it due to good coaching and management techniques that they outplayed us? Their coaching methods are obviously poles apart from our "lump it up to Mullin" approach which never changes and gets us nowhere.
 
Oh dear, the negative vibes are on the rise again. We have only lost one game in 3 FFS, we have 2 winnable games coming up, in fact the rest of the seasons games are all winnable. So the team had an off day, we have never won 3 on the bounce since we entered the league.
 
TBH I thought that we played some half decent footie for the first 1/2 hr or so, but then we seemed to fade away. You could see the Lads heads drop when the first goal went in and you gotta feel for KA as He got his fingers to it but just couldnt turn it round the post.

As for the second goal, I couldnt tell from where I was standing whether or not the ball had crossed the line and the question over the Liners position has to looked at, if Roberts was the last defender, then the Liner should have been in line with Him, meaning that He would have been about 25yds from the goal lone, however was Roberts the last defender or was someone deeper than Him, hence meaning that the Liner would be closer than 25yds and quite possibly had a better view than we are giving Him credit for...........I cant recall, but no doubt we shall see tomorrow when the goals are shown on TV.


Once again we seem to lack the will to shoot at goal and at times today we seemed to want to walk the ball in rather than have a pop, is this a confidence thing, or something else? Again I dont know........

Finally, to answers Maccas question on another post, IMO we still have a way to go before we 'turn the corner'............sorry :o
