Tamworth away

The minibus returned and a straight forward ish journey with the A5 used instead of the M6 for the last part of the journey and an alternative but more effective route to the ground.... A Chippy and offie spotted on route The general mood was of resignation with pockets of I fancy us to nick this ......Me included in the last bit... The king had a mardy on for some reason... moody bastard...but it did mean a quieter journey .... Rebelation did lead the back row on a bit of ballroom rumba but the the one eyed banker showed that his guilty feet didn't have any rhythm so it was back to a sing along badly Oasis - stop the clocks and dance mixes to boom us on our way... Rabbit returned to a round of applause ...to end the journey .....
£5 to park a minibus .....what is that all about .. but hey i got a receipt... fuck that made me feel a whole lot better ... The ground really hasn't changed over the the years ....and the clubhouse is no different to how it was ten+ years ago.One wag described it as a set from Dr who .....stuck in a time warp vortex.. Guess that is why the referee felt so at home and as is often the case leaned in that direction.
Well Keith shook up the hat and picked out some different names for the starting line up and their positions ....Frew on the Left ... umm isn't he right footed ? ... Camm on the left ?... Good to see Mitchell back in the line up.... did anyone else realise that he is listed everywhere as a right sided defensive player ... ie.. right back ??.... Crane started ahead .. why why why ?? of presumably fit again Peters ... if he is on the bench surely he is fit ?
The game...Well we played ok and held up well but they were much stronger, fitter and had an edge that showed why they are top of the league and showed the togetherness that Mill's sides have.They should of been 3 up in the first twenty minutes and attacking wise all game we mustered ... well nothing to be truthful and the only save and it was a very good one the Tamworth keeper had to make was from a set play ...
The actual physical performance of the players was not to bad but creatively it was poor ...It was just like a containment issue... There was a gentleman's agreement that we would not start on the manager until we were at least 2 nil down but the plainly daft subs that Keith made meant that the anger boiled over earlier ... Firstly Johnson was out of legs when Mitchell was taken off ...and if we were gonna go for the game then Camm or Johnson should of been sacrificed... Francis was not given any ball to even show what he could do.Then his masterstroke Hurran on for Jack with just ten minutes remaining. If that makes any sense to anyone then please contact me to explain it.Then to make it even more laughable and to illustrate his mistake Peters is brought on to play as a forward.Cue lots of webb out chants in various guises....
If you had seen the players faces as they came off , you would just know that they had lost faith in the manager...The no2 Mr what is it exactly that you do Glover stated that if Keith gets the sack and i guess he loses his easy ride he will blame the portly gentlemen amongst us..... well fattism is not big or clever and you clearly have lost your marbles.
Well the maths are now 6 pts from 33 , bottom of the form league and freefalling as those beneath us pick up points.
