Thank **** for Ricky getting a start at last. I think he is the type that really needs to start. Why I first liked him was he made himself available, midfield played up to him, he'd lay the ball off, sometimes out wide and often end up on the end of what was created. He knew how creating and scoring goals worked. It wasn't just him scoring that attracted me, it was that our Juniors play seemed to revolve around him and when he wasn't there ...... well they were just powder puff.

He got an 8 for his performance and of course Alfreton scored 4. It does seem if you start Ricky German you are in with a chance of a bag full of goals. I wonder why it is so hard to select him if you are a football manager, what does he do to put you off? Well I suppose sending him off to another team doesn't help ....

Dylan Parkin made a vital mistake in goal for Ossett by the way.

Dorel kept a clean sheet for Torquay and played well.
