Redditch

Quotes of the Day
"Are you Milly in Disguise?" & "Who ate all the pies?" to the Redditch Physio.. Cruel but equal rights = equal abuse. This was along with our own serial "ten to two-er" starting the chant "Peggy's
Bird" to deflect from his own distinct taste in the female form !
umm ..
"Joachim will leap like a salmon and make it one nil" just before he did exactly that.. What a quote!
On to the programme for quotes , Don't panic i didn't buy one just used the on terrace library system.
"One more Year" Uncle Ken is still popping at those that dare to raise a whimper of dissent by labelling them as "Serial Moaners" ha! ha!.
Mr Clubshop is "Going Bananas" Do we have a video clip of that or is it too graphic to get a rating? Even from the Stewards!
Keithy Boy is telling us or whoever reads the programme to "Keep passing the Ball" a suggestion may be to tell the players that they can do this in the second half as well as the first.
To the match we go
Firstly it was a Great crowd even if the stand did look pretty empty , guess for many ten pounds is the limit at the minute with a grand total of null/zero/zilch/0/none Redditch fans spotted in the crowd. We started very brightly and played some lovely build up play with the final ball/ shot letting the whole move down. The front players combined brilliantly at times and Sedgemore controlled the midfield. The penalty that wasn't for handball was a definite penalty with the young fast tracked referee getting it very wrong.Never mind daddy will get that one removed from the record at his next assessors meeting.We totally deserved the lead and if it wasn't for making the wrong decisions in front of goal we should of been already home and dry.
Yet again in following on from last season we stayed in the changing room for much of the second half but should of put the game out of sight when Joe steamed forward to create a 3 on 1 situation and decided to go it alone. PASS THE FUCKING BALL when you need to.This should be made into an arrestable offence.Our Decision making last night at times was appalling. As will be the case in this league if you don't kill the game off when you have the chances then you won't get all of the points and an unstoppable strike from an open invitation to shoot led to this.
Positive from last night was the way we attacked . Frew,Jack(first half) JJ and DB all looked good and the centre halves's looked excellent. I liked the way when Sedgemore lost control of the game he was subbed for a very similar player in Bridgewater who did drag us back into the game -the sub was made 15 mins too late though.
Negative - Weaver was decidedly average and Charlie is left footed (i.e not a right back) and as for Ben Chapman who someone commented last night runs like a Cross legged Crab his distribution was as bad as it gets,it was awful.In fact so was Crane's but Chapmans took it to a whole new level of awfulness.
A game that should of been won comfortably against a side that will be in the bottom 6.
So will we if we don't get that winning mentality back.
