Well I have very mixed feelings about the game. We did not deserve to lose this game and only conceded after a mix up at the back but apart from that it was a very encouraging performance.
The formation differed slightly as we ended up with both Ben's playing deep and bringing the ball up with them. Good understanding between the 2 of you so that there was always at least one person back to defend. As both of you have been playing further forward this was very impressive to see.
Ben F constantly monitoring the runs of the opposition and bossing things to cover, and the crunching tackles of Ben H which upset a few of the old timers but hey, what you gonna do.
With Ben F playing further back we then ended up with a front 3. Weasel pulling left and James pulling right to support the jellyfish. Some of the link up play between the 3 was very impressive smooth passes and helping each other out.
Overall the first half was a huge success and i felt going in at 0-0 gave us a huge chance of getting something out of the game especially as i think i only had 2 or 3 saves to make and their keeper was easily the busier of the 2 of us.
After half time though we were caught short at the back as they got break away down the middle and left their player one on one with me. I attempted to narrow the angle but he casually stroked the ball past me. A minor set back as we were still the better team in my opinion.
We seemed to lose our way a little bit after that and were not taking the chances or making the wrong choices in attack. One example is when we had a 3 on 1 with James and Weasel offering support to Neil but he chose to take it alone. Im not trying to single people out because I had said to take a shot if you had the option but just awareness of other people is something we have to work on as this wasnt a one off.
But overall a very impressive performance that we can build on for next week and then the second half of the season. I wont be there next week and neither will Weasel but I shall still be posting a team.
Good performance guys, did ourselves proud.
Go Balls Deep.

Weasel is 50/50 for next week. but im out for sure.
but some real positives to take from the game. some good movement and having ben and ben at the back really works i think
Yes, that was a really good match..shame you couldnt have been there paul and adam :(
Next week lads, next week..
improving every week I think, only a matter of time with all these positives to take away, chins up, I think we all deserve a win!
See you next week guys!
It was a game well played by all, a moment of lost concentration & a few spurned chances but the best Diggler performance so far by a country mile. Shame we haven't got our star goalie next week, & maybe no Weasel; is everyone else back next week? Bob, are you go'na pick the team? I'm happy to run things on the night in your absence, let me know man. Go balls deep!!!
you take over ben. im happy with that. ill talk to weasel and find out if he will be there and let you know. im sure you will do fine without me. im making less and less saves because evrything is getting tighter infront of me.
Go Balls Deep
You've all get lovely balls. Go balls deep, as deep as you can. A chance for pink floyd to show his managerial crdentials. I quite liked playing at the back and the 2-3 formation that we morphed into worked well. Is Chris de Burgh (Mandingo) going in goal?
