DAN McDONALD reports splendidly on Brinklow FC's defeat to CHRIST THE KING...

Grumpy? Nah, he's just seen the league table...

"Intro:

Having won two successive games and, more importantly, produced two strong team performances, we arrived yesterday with our confidence (arguably) at its highest, since the season started. However, we knew we were in for a tough game against Christ The King - a well-established team.

First-half:

From the first whistle, it was clear that Christ The King were a very physical team and, at every opportunity, were looking for the ball over the top of our defence, for their nippy striker to latch onto.

We weren’t at the races for the first 45 mins; our opposition had too much time on the ball, we were losing the physical battles, surrendering possession too easily and, if it hadn’t for our keeper Liam, the game would have been lost at half-time – as it happened we went in 2-0 down.

The first goal was a free header, from a corner kick, and, if I’m honest, we’ve been fortunate, over the last few games, not to have conceded more from corner-kicks. It’s definitely an area we need to focus on, when we’re back on the training ground.

The second goal came as a result of two faults – not picking up a second ball and leaving ourselves one on one at the back. It was a great finish by the striker but we could’ve done so much more to prevent the goal.

Fair to say we received a lot of honest (but constructive!!) criticism from the management team at half-time.

Second-half:

The second-half was a completely different game of football; one that, for most parts, we dominated and led to us getting ourselves back into the game. A free-kick, taken by Scot Lindley, was finished by Macca Richards, making it 2-1. Then, after chances at either end, a delicious cross from the left wing was converted by Blake, levelling the game at 2-2.

Now, with 10 minutes to play, it felt like there was only going to be one winner (us!), however, this turned out not to be the case. We were caught by a simple goal kick, over the top of our defence, which was finished by their nippy striker. Such a frustrating way to concede, especially given that the 'keeper received the ball from our free-kick (and was unchallenged).

Then, if that wasn’t bad enough, we were caught over the top again, when pressing to try and level the game, which ended up with a simple finish from the other striker.

4-2. Game, set and match.

Final thoughts:  

As a team, we didn’t do enough over the 90 minutes to win the game.  Christ the King were a good, solid team and I’m sure they’ll be challenging at the top come the end of the season.

The club/team spirit has really impressed me, since I joined in the summer, BUT there was a lot of whining yesterday (not just the players on the pitch), so that was disappointing to see.      

We’ve got another big game at the weekend and have a few players missing. So others will (again) get the opportunity to prove that they deserve the shirt.

We go again..."

COVENTRY UNITED COACH HARRY BARNES COMMENTS ON THE DEFEAT BY BOLDMERE ST MICHAELS...

HARRY: honest as ever...

"Hi Pete; sorry about not sending things lately. If you're still interested, here's the report for last night...

Having lost to Coleshill, ending our winning streak since Terry took over, the whole team knew we had to bounce back with a win. After starting well on Saturday against Wulfrunians and going 1-0 up, that game ended after an horrific leg break to Josh Shepherd and we wish him the best of luck.

This meant we'd have to wait until last night to put things right and unfortunately that never happened. I can imagine the game not being the most entertaining for any supporters, as both teams looked quite poor.

Only 2 chances fell to us in the first-half: the first being a Boldmere St Michaels defender almost lobbing his own goalkeeper, who came outside the box to try and clear the ball. Unfortunately the referee didn't award the handball that stopped it going in and gave a corner instead. The goalkeeper then made another good save from Kai.

2nd half was similar with not enough created in front of goal and Boldmere's 2nd shot on target of the game was a great one and curled into the top corner.

Sadly there was no reaction from the lads and this lead to going 2-0 down. 

Gutted to lose a game that we really should be winning, but it's as simple as taking however few chances you get and that's what Boldmere did. 

FA Cup on Saturday to redeem ourselves..."

BEN STURGESS, FLACKWELL HEATH SKIPPER, MUSES ON THE 2-2 DRAW AT HENLEY TOWN ON MONDAY...

HAS SOMEONE MISPLACED HIS SHORTS?
HAPPIER DAYS FOR FLACKWELL AND BEN...

"Morning Pete... 

After a day's reflection I'm still not to sure how we didn't win on Monday evening. 

After Saturday's poor display, it was vital that we got maximum points from Monday but we haven't done that and that's a concern. 

Enough chances to win 5 games for me on the night and that's something that needs to improve if we want to compete. Possession and stats will show only one team really should have won that game but credit to Henley, they were organised and dangerous on the break. 

Something that needs to improve for me is giving sides a start and chasing games. It's hard mentally to continue to chase goal deficits. 

I know this group very well. We will be fine I know that for sure. Let's not get carried away: its August. 

Onwards and upwards..."

BRINKLOW MANAGER EDWIN GREAVES WRITES HONESTLY ABOUT HIS TEAM'S LATEST DEFEAT, 2-4 TO CHRIST THE KING...

EDWIN: a brave face.
FACT...

"It is very hard for me to say this but once again we have been beaten by the better side.


The Bad:
Christ The King totally dominated the game in the 1st half and were unlucky to go in at half time only 2-0 up. A free header in the 30th minute and a 44th minute wonder strike from Sean Kavanagh was the difference between the two sides. But if truth be told if it wasn't for Liam it could easily have been 4 or 5 as we just weren't in the game.

The Good:
The 2nd half was a totally different Brinklow side, we responded in a positive fashion and put CTK on the back foot. We scored in the 54th minute when Macca Richards got on the end of a Scott Lindley free kick: 1-2. We looked threatening every time we went forward, although in the 62nd minute Nathan Ellis had to clear off the goal-line.


On 67 minutes Connor Tallett was replaced by Benny Adeeko.


On 74 minutes a cross from Danny Mcdonald was headed in by Blake Kassar to make it 2-2 and the comeback was on.


That was as good as it got for us though, as on 87 minutes and 91 minutes CTK scored 2 late goals to run out 4-2 winners on the night.

In summing up this game:


I would like to wish all at Christ The King the best for the remainder of the season.


As for me, I said before the game that we would have to be at our best to win this game and that proved correct, we weren't and we lost: FACT.


After Saturdays good win and with player availability good for this game I was able to name 9 of the players who started Saturday's game and we still lost: FACT.


Once again my players have shown me the good and bad in their performances during a 90 minute game of football: FACT.


We have now lost 4 out of our opening 6 fixtures and deservedly so; I have to look firstly at myself and secondly at my players that I have chosen to represent Brinklow this season. 4 defeats in 6 games isn't good enough and tells me that I havent got things right yet: FACT.


I have said all along that we are a work in progress but what I saw from my players tonight shows me I am right to say this: FACT.


Anybody who knows me will know I will leave no stone unturned to find what is missing in my team: FACT.


The games are coming thick and fast so there is no time to feel sorry for ourselves and the postion we find ourselves in; after all it's up to me to put things right.


I was brought in to to improve Brinklow, a lot has been done so far but there is still a lot more for me to do: FACT...

On to the next game."

EDWIN GREAVES, MANAGER, BRINKLOW FC...

My only visit to FLACKWELL HEATH so far: 2010-2011 & a 4-0 win v Reading Town...

It Was The Full-Back In The Goalmouth With A Hand

I drove to Flackwell Heath. It was raining. I had to go. Flackwell was such an engaging place-name. I positioned my car in the car-park, next to a long mini-bus but I guessed that I would be able to drive out easily after the game, despite cars being parked directly opposite. It rained more. The staff on duty made me feel welcome, despite the rain, on a Tuesday which provided European matches on TV, involving Manchester United, Glasgow Rangers and Spurs. And the rain intensified as tentative players began to warm up. And dampen down.

I met a male schoolteacher of secondary age girls with the stonking name of Dr Love and a recently qualified radiologist, wearing a woolly hat, who had seen junior games in Scotland and didn’t count any ground-hopping matches as ‘seen’ if no badge was available. He had even purchased one badge on eBay, to validate his attendance at a spectacle. Ah, at this point I must admit that I bought a badge at Flackwell Heath… I then had three: Blidworth Miners’ Welfare, Odd Down and Flackwell Heath. It was in the name. I can control the urge. I know I can… 

Reading were supported by a chanting contingent of er, one man. He videoed, used a tripod and he chanted… He impressed me. I know not if he was also afflicted by the plague that is badge collecting, however. Flackwell fielded a Henry Craven and a Riccardo Cannon, both fodder for a match reporter. Cannon’s shooting actually misfired.

The game was considerably affected by a bizarre sending-off, the second I’d seen in a matter of days. This time, a visiting Reading Town defender with the magnificent name of Alex Salmon, leapt in twisted form to hook a shot off his team’s goal-line but as only a linesman had spotted the fact that he had handled the ball, he must have noted the referee’s hesitancy and duly disappeared into the crowd of players hovering in and around the penalty-box and by the time the officials had discussed the issue, neither knew who the offender had been. Farcically, the referee asked the Reading skipper to identify the villain… He appeared to be less than helpful but could one blame him? As the minutes of uncertainty passed by, I was reminded of a Monty Python film: “I’m Brian…” “No, I’m Brian…” “NO, I’m Brian…” famously aping the crucifixion of Spartacus and his colleagues. Several players began bellowing, one after another, “It was me, ref…” “It was me…”  Hilarious. Eventually, the right-back owned up like a naughty boy in morning assembly and was summarily dismissed. The lengthy break in play denied the visitors their ascendancy and condemned them to an eventual 4-0 defeat, which could have been heavier.

The rain had stopped before the game had kicked off and a sunset had been stunningly daubed by black cloudy patches but when I returned to my car, some ignorant fellow had abandoned his car in between the two rows of parked vehicles and around a dozen cars were simply disabled by his selfish behaviour. We waited. It’s what English people do. Eventually, he returned to his car with no apparent concern and reversed to the end of the car-park, slowly, allowing me to drive clear and head for the M40. 

And it was raining again…   

HENLEY TOWN 2-2 FLACKWELL HEATH: FULL MATCH REPORT...

Profligate Flackers Thwarted By Resilient Red Kites…

Henley Town 2-2 Flackwell Heath

This game, played on a balmy, then turning cool evening near the banks of the River Thames, was dramatic, frenetic, inexplicable, remarkable and surprising. Dramatic due to a dismissal, plus so many misses; frenetic because Flackwell Heath play a high-tempo game, leading to desperate opposition defending; inexplicable because Henley were 2-0 ahead against ten men, yet had been dominated since the first whistle, and finally surprising, for despite their dreadful finishing, the flunking Flackers netted twice to take home a consolation point. The referee appeared to miss one or two key situations which arose, he became embroiled in a wafting of yellow cards and in truth, caused some of his own problems. An alleged spitting incident by a player at an opponent, the information relayed to me by the target of the flobbing was an unnecessary outcome of such an absorbing league encounter…

THE TOSS...

Thanks to the guy in the bar who made me a fine hot-dog, providing the marvellous brown sauce too… 

MORRIS: A MAN OF INDUSTRY...

Flackwell were ascendant from the start, were suckered into conceding twice and then contrived to squander so many chances that even two groundhoppers from Walsall began to display their frustration, despite their non-allegiance to any other team but the Bescot Saddlers. Strikers Dan Burnell and Jon Bennett really did not have the kind of evening they will look back on with any satisfaction, although Burnell’s excellent goal was one to savour, the situation not being helped by the buffeting Burnell felt he was suffering and the lack of interest he was receiving from the main official, who ignored virtually every fall. Indeed, the referee allowed a pull, 19 yards out, then an immediate trip inside the penalty-box to go unpunished during the opening 45 minutes, as the Flackers’ fury fired itself up. 

MOLLOY THREATENS...

Burnell had fed the fast, attacking right-back Liam Tack early in the match and his excellent 30 yard drive was superbly tipped over his crossbar by Henley’s arching Matt Hill. The ensuing corner led to a melee, during which Dan Bayliss had a shot blocked, then Burnell drove too high from the next left-side delivery. Jon Bennett was unable to head on target from the influential Adam Morris’ corner and drove wildly over the crossbar, following good work by Joe Blount but the new Flacker struggled to make an impact. The pull on Morris and then the trip on Blount, both by the same covering Red Kite-man, led to a free-kick maybe? A penalty? No, a corner. Check the video clip…

JON BENNETT: NO LUCK AT ALL...

In moments of real first-half pressure, home ‘keeper Hill did well, by flicking a Morris corner away, although not one visiting player moved towards the ball, he dropped right to hold onto a low Blount drive and also a downward header by Dan Hicks, as well as thanking Morris so much as a low Jon Bennett pass from the right deflected off a defender onto the inside of Morris’ boot, before trickling into the goal-minder’s gloves. 

STILL SEARCHING...

Mentioning Hicks, ‘Dismissal Man’, it has to be recorded how he received his first caution: he was adjudged to have fouled an opponent, yelled, as players do, when they miscue or mis-kick, “F*** off…”  and the referee dragged a yellow card from a pocket. Hicks had pleaded to an unimpressed official: “Not you, ref’…” He would be sent off later in the game…

THE EXILE OF HICKS...

James Tripp’s fine cross saw Burnell attempt to kick the ball, when Andy Gray in a Villa shirt would have launched himself into a thigh-high attempt to head for goal, Burnell headed over the crossbar at the left upright and was denied in another melee, before Hicks could get no direction on his glancing header from yet another Morris corner and the half ended with frustrated Flackers… 

THE COACHES: FLACKED OFF...

But what of the beleaguered defenders of the Thames, Henley? Well, they had scored a goal. Easy, yes? Nile O’Meally took possession of a pass from a colleague at inside-right, after Burnell had been mugged and with no real sign of danger, the striker turned inside and beat ‘keeper David Lyons too easily at his near post, as Tripp attempted to cover in vain. And? Well, Jack Thomson-Wheeler was offside when O’Meally passed to him and Thomson-Wheeler was allowed too much time on the right to turn but his low centre crossed the 6 yard box untouched. And Ben Blackwell was cautioned. He was fortunate to escape a second booking himself in the second period to come, when his trip on a rushing Flacker resulted only in a warning. Tripp was not so fortunate.

LYONS PAWED AIR...

O'MEALLY SCORED AT THE NEAR POST...

1-0...

Unbelievably, the visitors were a goal adrift, despite all of their offense but one has to commend Henley’s fine defence, in which Callum Carlisle, Mitch Cooper, Brad Hoy, plus Warren Baxter and Dan Davies were heroic. Indeed, after the break, Blackwell received his pardon but Davies WAS booked, which resulted in the second chance for the guests to score, post-interval. Jon Bennett had just glanced a Morris cross beyond the far stick from a couple of yards out, the free-kick led to a scramble, Hill reached for another, deeper free-kick but no shot ensued, a Jon Bennett shot was superbly blocked, Morris was cautioned and Dan Molloy, lively on the Flackwell left, drove too high. But the hosts had already added goal two. Rich Bennett was slipped into the left side of the penalty-area and he simply poked the ball inside the left upright, past an exposed Lyons.

2-0...

RICH BENNETT, I THINK. ALTHOUGH THE 6, 8 & 9 NUMBERS ON THE HENLEY SHIRTS LOOKED MORE LIKE SIMILAR EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPHS...

Bookings and substitutions happened for Henley, Carlisle and replacement Tommy Elmore receiving yellows but Lyons did earn his tea with a diving save to his left from Rich Bennett, in a rare eleven against ten break, but for the eleven men… After Hicks was exiled to the facilities, Bayliss miscued in another goalmouth melee and Tripp shot the rebound wide, the frustrated Burnell was cautioned for a high boot, Jon Bennett and Molloy were replaced and the latter complained to me about a spitting incident, with Jamie West and Joe Gritt replacing the two retiring Flackers. The visitors changed to a defensive back-three, with busy, infectious skipper Ben Sturgess helping out and Carlisle blocked a Blount free-kick on the end of his team’s defensive wall, then a Tripp header from Morris’ corner was hacked from the crowded goal-line by a home defender. Finally though, just when it seemed that the Red Kite which had hovered over the ground before the game had cast a predatory spell upon the Flackers, they scored a fine goal…

 

ANY RED KITES?

A left-foot cross, I think by Bayliss, bounced on towards Burnell, poorly marked for once and his instinctive left-foot volley flew over Hill and far away high into the left corner of the net. No time to celebrate after all of the team’s previous misses but soon, after Morris had been replaced by Matt Stockill, Tack tacked a course forward into the Henley penalty-area and beat Hill low with a left-booted effort and parity had been regained by the undaunted Flackers.

BURNELL: 2-1...

TACK ATTACKS...

...& EQUALISES: 2-2...

It remained only for Blount and Bayliss to fail to get accurate shots at goal in pressured melees and the game ended with the guests still in dominant, if not clinical mood… Sturgess and Morris were irrepressible in midfield, Burnell was always noticeable, being no shrinking violet and Blount and Tack kept up the lively raiding throughout. Tripp was a stalwart at the back but how the Flackers failed to win this will haunt their coaches for several days, coming on top of a home defeat on the previous Saturday.

Henley were tremendous in defence, with a host of players heading, blocking, hacking the ball away and generally keeping their shape to the very end and even tough they leaked two late goals, they would surely be pleased with a point in such a one-sided offensive game.

Me? Long way back to Solihull, but was home by 11.05pm and I began the long job of watching video clips from two matches, listening to dictaphone comments and editing images…

After all, it’s what I do…

ASCOT UNITED 1-3 BRACKNELL TOWN: FULL MATCH REPORT...

Bohane Boosts Bracknell, Eventually…

Ascot United 1-3 Bracknell Town

I had been made aware of some animosity between these two clubs, I believe due to several United players moving to Bracknell in circumstances which had displeased a number of people at the Racecourse. That and the hot weather did not excuse some unpleasantness on and off the pitch at times however, with verbal abuse mentioned within my earshot. Mustn’t dwell on such things though and with the Ascot racecourse’s grandstand as a backdrop, the football area was rather delightful, in truth. This would be the first of two games on the day for me, for I later moved on to Henley Town for their evening kick-off against Flackwell Heath, which was a lively and dramatic affair.

Bracknell always seemed to have a greater cutting edge, provided by forwards Terence Bohane and Adam Cornell but creative midfielder Jamie McClurg and the influential Kensley Maloney were very prominent in their team’s victory. Ascot were less offensive throughout and needed a central defender’s header after the interval to reduce the arrears to 1-2 but certainly Luke Wilson was lively and industrious for them in attack, although their main character was the interesting Charlie Samuels. The striker, favouring the right side, was so tough to shake off the ball, he showed commendable control in tight situations, some real spirit too but his finishing let him down on the day. A late fluffing of chances by Bracknell was offset by a decent strike from Bohane in the final moments to settle the outcome for good, meaning that three of their four most influential players, Bohane, Maloney and Cornell all scored goals. 

BRACKNELL: A LITTLE PUSHY...

Jack Smillie, from right-back for Ascot was the first to test Bracknell but a shot, then a free-kick from 23 yards rolled wide of the Town goal, before Ben Knight worried Town ‘keeper Chris Grace enough to see the custodian dive at the striker’s feet. Bracknell midfielder and set-piece executor Carl Withers was cautioned for three accumulative offences during the half but for United, both Samuels and then Luke Wilson squandered chances, as Bracknell’s defence held reasonably firm. Gavin Brainch’s left-side cross was fed to Samuels by Knight but the resulting shot was a miscue and a one-two involving Luke Wilson left him approaching the left post with only Grace to beat but like Arda Turan for Barcelona at Bilbao on Sunday, he poked his shot past the near upright. A caution for Theo Jones, otherwise a strong player for the hosts, who blotted his copybook but their two goals apart, Bracknell’s general attacking play had really been no more effective than Ascot’s before the break.

CHRIS SAYS GRACE...

Bohane’s 20 yard free-kick had struck Knight in a defensive wall, the industrious Luke Bowerman had shot wastefully wide, McClurg had drifted a shot past the goal-frame and home defender Wes Harrison had sliced a dangerous delivery over his own crossbar. The goals were snaffled well, however. First Bohane, on the right, slipped a pass inside for the insanely unmarked Maloney to latch onto on the 18 yard line and he beat Carl Dennison with a low shot, then Bohane switched play to the left, McClurg sent left-back Dan Wing (if he’d been a winger, would he have been called Dan Back?) into the penalty-box but Dennison was unable to hold the Bracknell man’s low cross-shot and there was Cornell to accept the crumbs.

0-1: MALONEY...

SAMUELS: IMPRESSIVE IN POSSESSION... 

0-2...

CORNELL THE SCORER...

PICKING UP THE PIECES...

Jesse Wilson’s far post lobbed header from a left-flank corner somehow dropped over Grace and into the net at the start of the second period but again, despite some really good foraging, footwork and fending off of defenders, Samuels could not find the net. During the half he fired disappointingly past the near post, then straight at Grace and also saw an angled effort deflected for a corner but after being fouled a few times, he reacted angrily when one of his team-mates was badly fouled and it was inevitable that he would be cautioned before the end. He was, at the death. Jones and Brainch had been booked in the first-half, but replacement Samir Regragui and Jesse Wilson (after he moved into midfield) also joined Samuels in the referee’s notebook.

AN UNPLEASANT MOMENT...

NOT GOOD...

1-2...

JESSE WILSON'S HEADER...

Bracknell’s forward play was spasmodic but after Maloney’s fine run, McClurg fired off target, skipper Carl Davies headed wide, Cornell drove too high, then replacement Joe Grant twice got into the 18 yard box for his team late on but was unable to shoot under pressure. Home replacement defender James Brazier did well to hook a long Town ball over his head and away from his goal but Bohane fastened onto the loose ball, only to see Dennison dive left to beat away his shot and Cornell blazed the rebound towards the straight mile track beyond on the racecourse. Bohane shot wide following McClurg’s fine run then Bohane and Cornell failed to score on a break in the final five minutes and so it was fitting that the bruised Bohane should complete the scoring, latching onto Cornell’s header and wrong-footing Brazier at 18 yards, shoving the ball from left to right boot and beating Dennison low to the goalie’s right from 15 yards.  

McCLURG: A BUSY MIDFIELD INFLUENCE...

ANOTHER BRACKNELL MISS...

CORNELL FLAT OUT, FRUSTRATED...

CRAMP ALLEVIATED BY A FOE...

1-3 NOW...

JOY FOR BOHANE...

3 POINTS FOR BRACKNELL...

DESPAIR FOR ASCOT...

RELIEF SHOWS IN THAT CELEBRATION...

A deserved victory for Bracknell, I would say, although had Samuels been more clinical, Ascot could easily have nicked it, I guess. Withers never backed off from challenges, despite his early caution, whilst Maloney was quick, ran well but also dispossessed opponents effectively on occasions. Davies and Alex Rodrigues worked hard to quell Samuels, and Wing ran well along the, ahem, wing…

CAUTION FOR SAMUELS...

Ascot’s efforts had brought no reward, despite the defending of Jesse Wilson and Harrison, who were well supported by the power of Jones. They used replacements Regragui, James Goodey and Brazier, although not Luciano Venturini, sadly and the guests used substitutes Grant and Khalid Senussi…
