Solihull at Home

Well a win is a win and you can only beat what is put in front of you.We had some serious defensive issues especially in the first half which could be put down to the new players coming in, these seemed to resolve themselves when Weaver came on.He has looked solid enough when played at centre half.
Crane was woeful again yesterday and was at fault for most of the good things that Solihull created.Just as well The Moors were their own worst enemy in front of goal and should of put us out of sight in the first ten minutes.
What would happened if they had of gone in front?
The first JJ goal was worth the price of admission on its own.What a great piece of control to set himself up for a quality finish, guess he had read the over critical piece that Keith had put in the EDP on Saturday.Was it a bit of reverse psychology Keith as we all know that JJ is more than capable of scoring hatfuls of goals at this level given some decent service as he proved yesterday with his brace.
I like Ben Sedgemore and when he picks his fitness back up he can do a good job with Mitchell and Smith,glimpses of this were shown yesterday.
Michael Frew ummm...I was surprised to see him ahead of John Turner who has been the stand out player in the previous three awful performances.Was it the right decision,no simply.
Jacks sending off was appalling. Clumsy?Yes.Two footed and all studs showing?No.The sending off was a current reflection of the whole game of football where the physical element is being eroded weekly until the game will eventually be a non contact sport that is unrecognisable to us all.Mr George is and has always been above himself,We think he was being assessed yesterday so it was guaranteed that he would want to be the centre of attention by the end of the game.Muppet!
Yesterday was 3 pts which are more than welcome but we still have some major problems.
I applaud the fact that Joe Francis was sent with the reserves to try and find some form and confidence.
