Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I seemed to have a bit more energy as the game went on... Think it must've been all the skittles I ate whilst I was linesman... Ah so that was you! Came on, marks me, offers skittles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Playing fives tonight. Left knee is still a bit sore from the unorthodox position of LB. Should be fun. I reckon we should try and have these games a bit more regularly if people fancied it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Matty - feel free to peruse the previous match threads, pretty sure the exact same thing is suggested by more than one poster after each one just a sign of how much fun these matches are IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah so that was you! Came on, marks me, offers skittles. The packet had split... I quickly realised I could be heard from a mile off when trying to close your midfield down...

TaylorJ_01 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Nixon, sorry I didn't get to speak to you much. Only realised half way through it was indeed you who asked me how many Scotland caps I had - just after spanking a shot 20 yards wide b****** Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Thought the blues had a really nice Balance to their team. 2 pacey wingers, one up against me was good tactics by Yorkie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I think just generally sticking to a formation did us a world of good really. 2nd half reds were all over the place, although that in turn did make it slightly more difficult to pick them all up when we were getting over ran.

Yorkie Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I can say this now - now that everything did go to plan... Coach Lane actually rang me at half 9 saying we'd been cancelled as the pitch was unplayable. Went through some serious mental torment for twenty minutes trying to decide whether or not to chance it, or start telling people not to bother. Was fucking nowhere near unplayable, either. Don't know why they put me through that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sole of my foot is still hurting, but I think that's more my inability to jump and land safely. Thought you played well Ian, stuck to your role well. Aye Ian kept things ticking over nicely in the centre of the park. He and LFEE both moonlighted as CMs/DMs really well; broke up the play and were basically always responsible for the start of counter-attacks. I liked Rich as a 'stopper' as well (FM-stylee) - won plenty of balls high up the pitch, and Joey was basically undeterred as a covering CB - in spite of the air-kick. The triumvirate of Rich/Joey and one of LFEE/Ian worked a treat tbh... in addition, Cunny arguably had the best stamina in our whole team and was always an option - in attack and defense. Great player. Full-backs-wise, Mattypnufc's a bit of an unsung hero - don't think he lost the ball once and even went on a few mazy runs in the first half. I was fairly disappointed with my performance in the first; I'm moderately capable most of the time, but CB isn't something I can hack at all. Don't have the awareness or sense to play that role. Tackling ability is non-existent either, typified by the blatant foul on OCK. I grew into it when moved to RB though - think I manipulated all runners to the inside where a competent tackler awaited. He's probably not most people's stand-out performer, but I thought Nixon was arguably our most important player in an attacking sense. Touch, control and passing was absolutely superb at times. I don't know if he and his brother play together often, but Nixon picked him out time and again, particularly in the first half. Completely owned the football whenever it was near him. We were really well balanced as a team, tbh - everyone played their role with confidence and just the right amount of rigidity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Indeed. Ian was a big dude with nice feet! I'm sure I over hit a couple of passes to you at least! In general I really enjoyed it, glad I didn't pull out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
