Last night was a strange one. My wife wasn't very well so I went on my own for the first time in about 20 years.
First half we were poor. Apart from a Boden header just wide and a bit of a goal line clearance there wasn't much to shout about. Halifax carved us open (again) for the first and the second was an unmarked header (again). When I say unmarked, it was from a corner and there wasnt a CFC player within 2 yards of him. They hit the crossbar as well and we were lucky we went in 0-2 half time. The team were rightly booed off.
Second half we went another goal down within minutes, another bit of scramble on the goal line but in this case it ended in the net. In all honesty I very nearly thought sod this I've got better things to do when all of a sudden a ch1nk of light appeared. We actually started to play football. Its not very often I get to say this so I will say it again, we actually started to play football.
We started passing the ball to our own players, we started to close them down, we started to look like we were interested. Fondops goal was a good one from a Mcglashan cross, and we started to pile on some pressure. Rowley (have to say he had a good game but 1 in about 60 isnt good enough) scored a good goal but too late and it looked like we might just nick a draw but it wasn't to be.
What to say after that, I dont know but:
Gerrard is still overweight and slow but looked a bit slimmer last night and had a decent game
Weston came on as a sub and had a big impact as did Yarney
Rowley gave the ball away for their first but second half he looked like the player we all knew was there but was hiding somewhere.
Coddington was at fault for their 3rd and his distribution was awful. Dont know what him and Jalal do in training but it obviously doesnt involve a football.
Hollis was terrible and I lost count of the number of times he gave the ball away.
Maguire was OK but will somebody please take him to one side in training and show him that that thing on the end of his right leg is a foot and teach him how to kick with it. He is so one footed its easily predictable where the ball is going - usually backwards.
The rest were about average but Sheridans decision to take Boden off and replace him with Mckay was just mind boggling.
I make that 13 since we won a league game. Ok it was better but still nowhere near a win and nowhere near good enough.
