Yep we won again :)

Well done all.

Fantastic result for the wings! with the small club from Welling trouncing that funny team from milton Keynes 5-1 all I need now is England to win 5-0.

First time this season that we actually looked a decent side who could pass the ball. Whitnell,Finn were sublime today and even Stoney put in a good shift. Was very impressed.

A good all round performance today, even Mr Stone.But would like to see him chase the ball down a lot more & when their full backs are been chased down by us, gets in there to stop the back pass to their keeper. But as a team we played some lovely passing football today.

A 3rd clean sheet & not forgetting how many players we have out today, take it Jack is back next week ?, anyone got any info on our injured players ?.......

Definitely our best performance of the season today.  Everybody played well.

Hard therefore to pick a Man Of The Match but I think my vote would just about go to Michael Deane.  Almost scored the goal of the season after his terrific run. 

Think Andy Sambrook also deserves a mention for a very good game in an unfamiliar position.

Man of the match for me was Mr Finn. Put in a lot of effort and is getting used to passing the ball, seems to be going from strength to strength.
Supporter of the match today was obviously myself, for being nice to everyone around me and giving constant support to our players.

There was only ONE MOM for me and that was Piggy for getting the game on...we needed to keep the momentum going and that is what happenned

Sorry Mr Trigger but you are wrong with your MOTM choice. Excellent as Mr Finn was his final ball wasn't always as good as it should have been.

My dear Andrew Nicholson aka Courtjester.
The good thing about naming a man of the match is the fact that it cannot be wrong. It can however be questioned.
The one thing you may be forgetting is that when Mr Finn reads my posting it will spur him on to a higher level. 

For me Chelwings got it right-Lee Clarke, held the middle committed tackles and good to see a poachers instinct.

More to the point glad to see him get a start and get some minutes back on the pitch

Far from it Mr Trigger, there is a simple mathematical formula which can be used to calculate MOTM.

Your posting may indeed encourage Mr Finn but may discourage those who are not the recipients of your largesse.

 

Interesting to see how many different players figured in MOM nominations.

Just shows how well the team played yesterday. I couldn't fault a single one.

There were several interesting performances yesterday from players who have not impressed much this season.

Sambrook was excellent at centre back.  Normally looks unconcerned by anything that happens on the pitch, but yesterday was quite outstanding.

Protheroe - very solid game.  Supurb going forward.  solid support for Finn

Finn - for the first time this season actually made the correct decisions more often than not (when to pass, cross, run, shoot etc).  Too often this season has taken the wrong option.

Stone, possibly MoM.  Won a significant number of headers.  flick ons caused many problems for Staines defence.  Also has started to genuinely run down defenders.  Looked like Staines like to "build from the back".  Both our forwards put a stop to that.  Also gives us a real physical prescences up front; something we have been missing since the days of the devine Mr Kedwell.

Clarke.  I believe his performance owed a lot to Daisy.  Because Mr Day played the "holding" roll, it allowed Clarke tofunction further up the field.  Simple intelligent passing, solid blocks and tackles.  Better than anything else we have seen from his this term.

I appreciate that we were playing an under strength team, but we beat them and beat them well.  If we could only get a 20 goals per season striker, then we could still reach the play-offs.

We've got one - he played central midfield yesterday.

Isn't life just great at the moment?
All positive postings and matron has allowed me an extra hour in the garden.

Super sub , load of toss IMHO

If he played every game he will score 15 or 20.

a striker's role is simple be supplyed the ball and put it away; thats what there judged on not how much running they do.

Stone seemed quite slow on Saturday. There were plenty of occasions when he could have at least attempted to run for the ball before Staines' goalkeeper got to it and he would just about jog for a bit, then turn around and slowly jog somewhere else. He was ok, but he hardly put in a great performance. He never seems all that bothered, almost as if he has something else already lined up.

Stone wins  a few headers and can lay the ball off but has precious few other striking attributes at this level. Did set up the og though and is a trier who sadly ran out of steam a bit. He did look isolated at times.

Whitnell is improving and can certainly finish. Must be consistent in his general play though.

We do need another striker unless Clarke can transfer his excellent performance further forward. Hobbs doesn't convince I'm afraid for all his running.

Everyone put in a good performance but the MOTM for me is either Finn or Clarke.
