LAST MATCH



We got out first point on the road in a rather unforgettable game at Bristol. Chances were at a premium, Beadle made a couple of saves while we didn't trouble there keeper in the first half. Onto the 2nd half and we showed a bit more going forward, Bannan shooting wide and a Smith header saved easily by there keeper. Bristol had a chance to win it in injury time but Beadle made the save. 0-0 a fitting result for a forgettable game.

THE MATCH



Next up and we make the journey to the midlands to take on Coventry. The Sky Blues have made a disappointing start to the season and currently lie in 17th place, but did win there last game (3-0 v Blackburn) after going 5 without a win. I can see Rovers finishing around mid table, another team too good to go down but not enough to challenge for the playoffs. They are managed by Mark Robins who has been in charge for 7 years. There main threat is Wright who has 3 goals so far this season. We haven't won at Coventry in 29 years, so depending on your opinion, we are due a win there.

KATE BECKINSALE TRIBUTE PIC

Group A

Twerton 14
Amelia 8
Themaclad 5
A.A.A. 2
Zinman 0
Minizin -2

Well after posting the lowest total score of the season last week, Group A thought they would go a bit deeper and post an even lower score this week. Again like last week there was one outstanding performance, this week that was from Twerton who scored a decent 14 points courtesy of a CR on the Gamball and scoring on 6 other games as well. Shame he, like everyone else missed out on the Bonus or he would have posted an excellent score.

Amelia equaled her best score of the season with 8 points, like Twerton she got a CR on the Gamball but not as much else. Themaclad managed a weeks high 2 CSs but missing on the Gamball and the Bonus kept his score down to 5 points. AAA was 4th with just 2 points, he missed on all his balls but did at least manage 1 CS to keep his score positive.

Then we have the Zins, and I am not referring to the Seven Deadly Zins winery in Lodi, CA, that I had the pleasure of touring today (yes I know it’s completely irrelevant but I did have fun wine tasting!!), but the Mini and Man versions!! The Man Zin didn’t trouble the scoreboard with a might zero and the Zin Mini becomes the first Group A player to record a negative score with -2. Definitely a week for them to “wine” about their performance!!

72 Themaclad
62 Twerton
39 A.A.A.
38 Minizin
38 Amelia
29 Zinman

Themaclad’s lead is cut into by Twerton but the two of them are now way ahead of the rest!! AAA moves up to 3rd after Minizin’s negative points haul, and Amelia is now level on points with him as well. Zinman’s big fat zero sees him once again rooted to the bottom.

As we have seen for ever the playing of the balls is crucial if you want to succeed at this simple game. This is illustrated perfectly at the moment in Group A. Themaclad is 43 points ahead of Zinman, and guess what………..he is also 41 points better off on his balls than Zinman is!! This is not a coincidence!!

Cheers
SCO


Group B

BBB 4
SCO 4
Snooty -1
Derby -1
Stairs -1
Lady Jane -1
BaggieOne -5


Shall we just pretend the weekend never happened and just move on?

What carnage! Group B managed to generate minus 1 point in total - just 1 positive gamball, a wipe out on bonuses and a couple of negative score balls to add to the week's misery. Probably the lowest total of all time. Just 2 players added to their overall points total and we had one solitary correct score.

BBB and SCO share top spot with a truly magnificent 4 points. BBB got he only correct score while SCO was the only player to predict a Norwich win on the gamball. Everyone else should look away now.

Snooty managed 2 correct results but blew all his balls including a negative scoreball. Derby, Stairs and Lady Jane all managed just 1 correct result but at least gained the scoreball point while BaggieOne managed to achieve the lowest possible score - no correct predictions and all his balls testing negative.

Truly, a week to forget.

73 Lady Jane
52 Derby
49 Stairs
49 BBB
47 Snooty
41 SCO
39 BaggieOne

I think it's fair to say that nobody climbed the table this week, instead a few went backwards. Snooty dropped below BBB and BaggieOne chose to take over at the bottom of the table, kindly letting SCO move ahead of him!

Rob Elliot has been named Crawley Town manager on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

The former Newcastle United goalkeeper led Gateshead to a sixth-placed finish in the National League and FA Trophy glory last season.

The BBC reported yesterday a deal had been agreed for Elliot to move to the League One club to replace Scott Lindsey, who took over at MK Dons last week.

"When the opportunity came about, it was impossible to turn down," Elliot told Crawley's website, external.

"I heard there might be some interest, and we spoke to the owners and had such a positive conversation.

"It is so exciting to see the way these players play, and I am really excited to get to work with them on the training ground."

,
Scott Lindsey drew 1-1 away to Bromley in his first game in charge at MK Dons

Crawley currently sit 20th in the league with seven points from seven games, having won promotion via the League Two play-offs under Lindsey last season.

Lindsey's move to League Two Dons was announced on Wednesday, with Ben Gladwin put in interim charge for the Reds' 2-0 defeat by Bolton Wanderers at the weekend.

Gladwin and Steve Hafner will remain in charge for Tuesday's home match against Mansfield Town at Broadfield Stadium.

Despite reaching the National League play-offs last season, the club were barred from competing as their stadium contract did not meet the requirements of the English Football League.

The club then beat Solihull Moors on penalties to win the FA Trophy final at Wembley in May.

Elliot leaves the Heed fifth in the league with 23 points from 11 games.

His first match in charge of Crawley will be away to Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday.

Gateshead have named Ben Clark as their interim manager following the departure of Rob Elliot to Crawley Town.

Elliot has left, along with his assistant Louis Storey and first-team coach Antony Sweeney, to take up the vacant manager's job at the League One club.

Clark will be supported "for the immediate future" by Luke Clark, captain Greg Olley and senior player Jacob Butterfield.

This is the former Sunderland defender's third spell in charge, after previous stints in 2015 and 2019.

Gateshead are currently fifth in the National League.

Elliot led the Heed to success in the FA Trophy Final at Wembley in May.

Defender Regan Booty said on X, external: "A group of staff that would genuinely do everything possible to help bring out the best in you as a player and a person.

"They deserve the move more than anyone and long may their success continue. Time for us to carry on from where they’ve left off and keep kicking on."
