The reserves are away at Thamesmead on Saturday, so it's a bus trip to finish the season. We need to make the trip worthwhile against a side that has put a few decent results together lately.

Mixed feelings about this day and game. We struggled big time to actually field a squad, late on Friday night we still only had 9. But we managed to find players we haven't seen in months and new signings to help us out, and thanks has to go to them for stepping in and giving it a go. However, having managed to stuff a squad into a minibus the M25 served up an accident in the roadworks 30 miles from our destination and eventually we arrived at 3.15, having left at 11.45  . We were then given 20 mins to prepare and warm up - simply not enough for a team that hardly even knew each other - we only had 5 players that had played in any recent games and we signed on 5 new players on the day ... a recipe for disaster. The players gave it a go, but you can't get away with just throwing 11 bodies out against a decent side, and Thamesmead are a decent side. No point in dwelling on the actual play too much, but well done to the players for trying. Final score 5-0, with the 2nd half being better than the first, so a half time talk at least helped. A long, frustrating, disappointing day all round  |
