Marine AFC 0-2 AFC Telford United
An excellent day in Merseyside with a great performance and crucial 3 points against a very good 3rd placed Marine side. I've got to say it was a great place with great people, even if the game had finished 0-0 it had been an enthralling game from start to finish.
The game started very finely balanced, each team had about equal posession and neither side had many clear cut chances and those that did come about were usually mopped up quickley, despite no real propsects of either side scoring it was very exciting encounter.
There were a few chances that stood out involving Telford wing-back dean Craven chipping the ball just over his own goal and centre-back Richard Teesdale taking a shot from the centre circle which was just inches wide with the Marine keeper seemingly not having it covered. Justin Marsden had a chance though the ref waved on from a hand-ball clearance by their defender, admittedly it did look like ball to hand to me but some fans were unhappy and thought it should have been a free kick from just outside the area. The few chances presented by Marine was easily blocked by keeper Stuart Brock and cleared by a solid display by all 3 centre-back, particularly Indy Khela.
Second half we began to dominate a lot more with chance after chance which their keeper dealt with very well for the most, there were a couple of chances where he ran off his line and got stranded but there was always a defender on the line to clear it again. Telford keeper Brock had very little to do but was always alert when called upon and dealt with everything spectacularly.
Telford broke the deadlock on 78 minutes when after a scramble in the box the ball fell to Jai Stanley just outside the box. The former Worcester man took a powerful shot which registerred as his first goal for the club. Lee Moore added a second on 85 minutes and was then booked for celebrating too long. In his defence it could be his last game with us with his loan having to finish now and despite him declaring serious interest in staying on we have to negotiate a deal with Tamworth first.
Wingback Lee Vaughan got a suspicious booking for what seemed to me an ok tackle, they had a player booked for prettymuch sitting on our player and another for a tackle that was blocked from my view by a pillar so I won't comment on. Overall there were few bookings, I make it 2 a piece. it was a very physical game but by no means a dirty one and credit to the ref for playing by this.
The game finished 2-0 to the Bucks, we'd picked up 3 points now away at 3rd placed Marine. marine were a very good side and few teams wil leave there with 3 points this season. If we and them are both promoted then I look forward to visiting Marine again.
That leaves us in 1st place with 47 points and no defeats, behind us is Hednesford who are 5 points behind on 42 points though we do have a game in hand. marine are still 3rd but 10 points behind us on 37 but we have two games in hand.
We had a run of poor performances but still managed to grind out results over October. We now seem to be firing on all cylinders despite top scorer Steve Foster starting a 3 match ban for a sending off im our 4-0 away win a Lincoln and powerful young forward Tyrone Barnett serving a one match ban for an incident in an non-Telford game previously. Not to mention pacey striker Justin Marsden just coming back from injury but managing to start today and play 82 minutes.
I'm not one to count my chicken before they've hatched but this is a good start by anyone's books if we can keep this up then we should have a very good season.
Final Score: Marine 0-2 Telford
My MotM; Tough to call today with 3 players standing out, will go for 7)Jai Stanley followed very very closely by 10)Lee Moore and 6)Indy Khela.

Oh dear Stephen  if it's any comfort we lost to a last-minute goal for the second game running...how pants is that! If you'd won, you'd have got Eastbourne, assuming (which you can't always of course!) that they get past Gloucester tomorrow evening |

It was just soooo depressing that game. I didn't bother looking at the draw...would it have been home or away? |

We attempt to empty the tin-pot Team Bath this evening - precipitation permitting. Today, children; Sesame Street is sponsored by the art of attrocious alliteration! IF we prevail, then we welcome back Liam Daish - top bloke, well spoken Tammuff-loving ex Hawks legend to WLP. I expect he'll bring the Graveyard & Busfleet mob along for the ride! The real and total arse of the situation is that I had looked at the LEAGUE schedule, carefully ignoring the Trophy dates; and booked a weekend in Weston over the 16th - because that's where we should have been! Still. THere are compensations to being stranded in an hotel with a gorgeous lady - and Weston have a home draw anyway!   |
