National League opening day fixtures - 21/08

[EnglishRed]

None of our midfield want to defend, but we already knew that.

Mullin 1-1 pen. Come on.

first of many

 

[EnglishRed]

2-1
Davey Jones pulled a screamer out of his locker

 

[BeesKnees]

Notts the better side but we've given them a couple of scares.

Happy to go in 0-0.

 

[Hollywood Red]

Typical match against Solihull except we are winning!! Goal of the season already? Jones!

Happy to go in 0-0.

We’re comfortable in possession and in control but not got Rodrigues/Roberts on the ball enough. Hopefully be a bit more shooting towards the away end second half.

 

[Shrimper92]

We look decent

 

[GTFCfish]

Might cringe a bit if I see Dave Jones starting in defence though.

Hehehe.

Edit: Shit just seen that your goal scorer started up front, that’s a different Dave Jones isn’t it?

 

[rudebwoyben]

Not a bad half from us although Notts have had the majority of the possession. We need a bit more impetus in midfield to change the pattern of the match though.

 

[BeesKnees]

Caught cold, suspect we are more likely to concede than score if this team pushes forward

Yeah, the lack of pace that Payne and Brundle display will be even more exposed.

 

[rudebwoyben]

Caught out by a perfectly executed set-piece.

 

[ForzaCounty]

Can't believe what I've just seen... Dag manager just ran on the pitch to stop play because they had a man down, not even a head injury... and only got a yellow. Yeah well done ref, I'm sure that stops him stopping play yet again.. then they go and score, not stopping play even though we had an injury. Absolute disgrace.

And now you’re 3-1 down hahaha

 

[Soup Ladle]

Rusk under pressure already

 

[jacobncfc]

Always felt we had several more gears in that first half, found the next one pretty quickly.

 

[Master D]

Hehehe.

David Jones is a midfielder, used to play for several teams in the Premier League. He's playing midfield for us today thankfully and has scored a great goal.

The initial worry there was due to him having played at CB most of pre-season, when he is just not a defender at all. Going to Solihull with him there would be asking for trouble.

Ahh right, I saw Chiefs post and thought he must be a defender who was a bit dodgy and then saw he had scored a worldie but then checked on the BBC website and it has him as playing upfront.

 

[Master D]

It's hilarious that. Cleworth is a young CB

 

[Optipez]

It's all gone Notts way today, star men scoring, Barnet down to ten men, clean sheet so far.

 

[rudebwoyben]

This has become very reminiscent of our opener against Eastleigh last season (albeit against a better team this time).

Who does those for the BBC? may as well not bother, they've got 3 right. Also we don't play 442

 

[OneDecentLester]

2-0 that boy Kabongooo

Second half has been a massacre. If we get going we look bloody good. Either way, a fun return to away days and some journey home ahead! Yeah

 

[Master D]

Motors have put a telegraph pole on up front. They're playing for lineouts from here on in, pure territory kicking game.

Flowers legacy lives on. We're never holding out here.

 

[Droo]

We're gonna piss this tinpot league

 

[rudebwoyben]

We're gonna piss this tinpot league

You will if you play a Harry Kewell team every week!

 

[jacobncfc]

What a goal that is!

 

[rudebwoyben]

What a goal that is!

The sort of movement that most teams won’t be able to live with TBF.

 

[Master D]

7 minutes of Ardley time.

 

[EnglishRed]

And there we go FFS
