On the Bounce

A few real life dramas have taken time over the last few weeks but hopefully will have more time now to bring back updates as fast as before.

As expected form bounced quite strongly and we played a couple of FA games both 1-0 wins against FC Couch Potato, I felt sorry for their manager as although I could see he had assembled a very strong squad I could sense from the last few games our luck had turned. This was really underlined in the dying minutes of the second game with it at 0-0, the game was getting stretched and there were three clear cut chances in injury time, eventually though Paulo Roberto broke on the right chucked a dangerous looking cross in for Grafite under considerable pressure to power in.

We dropped a few points here and there (noticeably to Macduff FC who must be favourites for the title), the best result so far has been against Hurtlocker FC who pro-rata were in 2nd spot. With us in 3rd spot it was a little bit of a six pointer I felt a win would dictate the seasons theme i.e. chasing Premiership or Championship football for next season. We were coasting at 2-0 and despite a 89th minute consolation goal never looked like losing.

Although the various youth leagues are way down my list of priorities I managed to win back to back games against Inter, M'Villa was the star of the show throughout!
