How poor were we? There will be an update on my blog later but I'll need to calm down first. Awful, just bloody awful. |

For what it's worth we had our worst performance of the season.
Hinckley United 1-1 AFC Telford Utd
Some great goalkeeping by Ryan Young earned us a point we probably didn't deserve. Wingback Lee Vaughan was sent off for two bookable offences, I did not see the second one but on the Hinckley forum they say it was a bad one so I'll take their word for it.
Hinckley should also have gone down to 10 men shortly after following a headbutt in an off the ball incident on Jimmy Turner by their number 14. The ref & lino weren't actually looking, coupled with the fact he went down after seemingly hurting himself in the process the ref assumed nothing was amiss and called on both physios. Lucky though their player was not to see red we also rode our luck for much of the second half.
The first half was uninspiring at best, we had 2 or 3 chances on goal, one of which went in though whether it was ofside or not is debatable, it didn't look it to me though. Hinckley equalised minutes later though again controversial, i thought the free kick seemed a very harsh judgement by the referee, who made several key bad decisions for both teams at the end of the day. Second half, particularly after going down to 10 men it was a case of holding out at times. We had some late chances to seal the points and perhaps with Vaughan still on the pitch and/or with Hinckley also down to 10 men we may have nicked it, obviously we'll never know and based on the overall performance we wouldn't have deserved it anyway.
A poor game overall i felt with neither team looking that impressive, in the end Hinckley were perhaps the better side and did seem to want it a bit more, we spent much of the game hoofing it forward and seeing what happened. On another note of our 3 available strikers for the game (Lewis, Reynolds, Moore) they all started but none finished the game, we ended with a 5-3-1 with midfielder Chirs Cornes playing as an emergency striker. Hopefully we'll play better at Blyth next week, it's a long way home otherwise.
Final Score: HUFC 1-1 AFCTU
My Motm: 1.Ryan Young - kept us in the game
FAO DJ How was your player after being stretchered off the pitch? Any news on how long we will be out for. All the best to him from me regardless.

Some great goalkeeping by Ryan Young earned us a point we probably didn't deserve. My Motm: 1.Ryan Young - kept us in the game. That probably says more about which team did most of the attacking. How was your player after being stretchered off the pitch? Any news on how long we will be out for. All the best to him from me regardless. confirmed as a 'stepped fracture' and two doses of morphine required in the ambulance before going off to hospital. haven't had an update since then. |

Yippee!  The pub next to Coventry Sphinx's ground has always had Hobgoblin on during my visits. I love the stuff. |

Second half I would agree you did most of the attacking and had a lot of chances, perhaps let down by your finishing. First half though I only counted one actual attempt on goal by Hinckley (though we only had about 2 or 3 at the most ourselves), admittedly that went in and at the end of the day that's what counts.

All the best to him from me regardless. confirmed as a 'stepped fracture' and two doses of morphine required in the ambulance before going off to hospital. haven't had an update since then. Sorry to hear it, couldn't see it too well from the opposite end of the pitch but you could tell it was bad when the stretcher came out. As i said all the best to him. |

Should mention Coops that, with your mighty fine blog and that of The Hawks Skif (He of Hobo Tread), there's a healthy amount of reading on the web for us hoppers - amateur or otherwise. Incidentally - are you CERTAIN that you cannot see Villa Park from a train? Are you getting the right trains? I've travelled through the area many times (without stopping I hasten to add!) and Villa Park is there. Well, we both know it's THERE - it's thereable from a train seat is what I meant!  |

I'm with you ISIHAC. I think you see Villa Park when you're diverted off the Main Line for Engineering Works.

You can see Villa Park from the New Street - Walsall line, as you leave Aston it's on the left hand side before you get to Witton (I will blog this journey another day, there are a couple of other grounds visible on this one!) but not on the usual route from New Street to Tamworth, although I am told that now the new owners have lit the ground up a bit you can see the glow! |

Have they set fire to it then? ;D Might be getting a little addled here, but is The Bescot visible from a Virgin; or would that have to be on the road!  What on earth do you mean, young Amber? |

Not you! I was merely going back to the original subject of this thread and expressing my dismay at Sutton's latest result.
I wouldn't dream of saying anything bad about Villa. They have too many fans on here!
