Dave K and myself were at Fleetwood yesterday representing WDSA. It was a pretty good performance. Credit to the players for getting on with the job after the excitement of Tuesday.
Was pretty even for the first 70 minutes. Shea made his customary great save early on but after that neither team created much. LTB came on late and in the last 20 minutes it was all Dons with Barcham missing a couple of good chances.
Have to be pretty happy with a point at a promotion chasing team, though.

Rob. Thanks for posting those stats. I had no idea we had such an impressive record against the Cods. I’ll slightly disappointed now that we didn’t steal all three points.

Maybe we have a quota against the Cods?

Anyone not at KM was spared the worst of afternoons. Out-thought, out-fought, out-muscled, out-played, out-everything, we were dire. Slow, sloppy, woeful ,worst we’ve played this season. Just rubbish. How Will Nightingale was voted man of the match is beyond me. Both goals came through him or from his giving the ball away. But then the whole team spent all afternoon giving the ball away and not battling for second balls. There was no man of the match for me. Not a single outfield player impressed. It was a match and a day to forget. The team were embarrassingly poor, and owe us a performance on Tuesday night to bury the memory of today’s horror show.

Looks like I picked a bad match to come back after 3 weeks on holiday! :o(

Very poor performance, but sadly a typical match up of mid-table ‘also ran’s versus a team battling to get into the playoffs. We couldn’t match them for desire or commitment. They also had the quality of Nile Ranger and Simon Cox up top and Anton Ferdinand at the back – players of a quality that we are simply not in the running to sign.

IMO we looked dangerous and capable of scoring up until the point that we allowed Ranger to squirm through about 5 tackles slot a shot past James Shea. From then on, it was a little like boys against men and we lost our way.

Sadly the BBC stats summed up the tie: AFCW – 10 shots, 0 on target; Shrimpers – 7 shots, 6 on target.

Let’s hope we don’t get a repeat performance on Tuesday…
