Thursday and… back by popular demand…

Good to get back to winning ways on Thursday, although I think the general consensus was that we wasted a lot of good chances and in the second half lost our way a little defensively. Still a win is win. Some good performances too! Joe scored two excellent goals, the only disappointment being he didn't convert it into that rarest of things for a midfielder: a hat-trick. Superb battling by Steve and Luis in midfield, and Barry in particular was rock solid at the back. Also it was great to see Neill 'Sicknote' Robertshaw embarking on his latest comeback with a fine, authoratitive performance in goal. With Dave and Barry's recent excellent displays between the sticks the competition for the keepers jersey has certainly intensified.

Just to reiterate the point i made last week on the blog and after the game on Thursday: to be considered for selection i need to know you are available by 6pm on Wednesday. You can do this in a number of ways. If you are already on Stu's regular 'confirmed' list you won't need to do anything. If you confirm manually and you are doing it on Wednesday then it would probably be wise to copy me in on any email to Stuart (anaxagoras484@yahoo.com) just to be sure I get the info in time. You can also text me if for some reason you can't email me (07828 950790).

Finally, and as the result of a series of requests in recent weeks, i'm pleased to announce that the team warm up will return this Thursday. This week i will be taking it but thereafter Simon has kindly offered to help out. I appreciate that for some people parts of the warm up are not ideal but, unless you have specific warm up requirements, it would be good for team spirit if everybody could take some part. It will start at 8.05pm so please let me know if you are running late (no. above). Otherwise if anybody has anything they wish to discuss or anything they would like me to do differently I'll be more than happy to hear your thoughts. New team this week some lets get at them early and impose ourselves.

Up the Accies…
