Took 15 minutes to settle back in but performed well after that.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">8/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h3>Askey</h3> <blockquote><p>Not a lot he could do about the first 2 goals, showed how easy it was when moved to midfield the last half hour.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">8/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h3>Ford</h3> <blockquote><p>Gave the ball away too cheaply at times, should have had at least one goal, never gave up when all seemed lost.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">8/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h3>Maskery</h3> <blockquote><p>Outstanding commitment in the middle of the park, could have had a goal, never let the opposition rest.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">9/10</span></strong> </p></blockquote> <h3>Smith</h3> <blockquote><p>Struggled with the pace of the game first half, was more of a threat in the closing stages.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">7/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h3>Craig</h3> <blockquote><p>Managed to hit the post twice in the same move in the first half, needed to have the ball played simply in the second, made the runs, needs the ball.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">7/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h3>Woodcock</h3> <blockquote><p>Turned up after a late call, should have had 3 goals but was denied by an inspired keeper, passenger in the second half.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">7/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h3>Jones</h3> <blockquote><p>Should have had at least 2 goals, showed his lack of match fitness in the second half, still on the way to recovery.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">7/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h2>Subs</h2> <blockquote><p>None</p></blockquote> <h2>AWOL</h2> <blockquote><p>Tudor – Working in Germany<br /> Bagnall – Trip to Bristol via Gothenburg </p></blockquote> </blockquote> <p><br/><a href="http://thesmithfieldfc.co.uk/performance-v-signalman-h-cup/180/ ">Performance v Signalman (H) (Cup Qtr Final)</a></p> <p class="facebook"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=" target="_blank"><img src="http://thesmithfieldfc.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/add-to-facebook-plugin/facebook_share_icon.gif" alt="Share on Facebook" title="Share on Facebook" /></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook">Share on Facebook</a></p> Cyrix on "Performance vs John Marston (H) (Sub Cup)" http://thesmithfieldfc.co.uk/forum/topic/313#post-1824 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 15:06:02 +0000 Cyrix 1824@http://thesmithfieldfc.co.uk/forum/ <blockquote><p>Smithfield, yet to win in 2010, put in an excellent performance to stay in cup! A 2-0 win against Dision 1 outfit John Marston sees a 2-0 win, and first clean sheet of the season.</p> <h3>Stanway</h3> <blockquote><p>Clean sheet, distribution good and pulled off a self proclaimed “wonder save”. Good all round performance.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">8/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h3>Clarke</h3> <blockquote><p>Steady performance. Good in the air and strong in challenge. Helped with very pleasing defensive performance.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">8/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h3>Harris</h3> <blockquote><p>Strong performance from the centre half, strikers never had a sniff. Distribution good as well.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">9/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h3>Tudor</h3> <blockquote><p>Relationship with Chopper blooming, solid performance.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">8/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h3>Cobby</h3> <blockquote><p>Closed the wing down to release Ford to support attack. Never looked troubled all game.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">8/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h3>Ford</h3> <blockquote><p>Positioning and runs were excellent, scored, robbed of goal and assist through poor decisions from ref and linesman. Finishing should have been better, should have had at least a hat trick.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">8/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h3>Maskery</h3> <blockquote><p>Worked tirelessly throughout the game, distribution showed much improvement. Should have scored one-on-one.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">8/10</span></strong> </p></blockquote> <h3>Askey</h3> <blockquote><p>Enjoying his midfield role, worked well defensively and distribution was excellent.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">9/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h3>Craig</h3> <blockquote><p>Worked hard all game, supported defence and attack equally. Some good runs with bal first half.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">8/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h3>Evans</h3> <blockquote><p>Didn’t give the centre half time at any stage in the game. Worked hard and tracked back when required. Robbed by ref for a legitimate goal.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">8/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h3>Bagnall</h3> <blockquote><p>Playing up front and held the ball up well. Seemed to suite the deeper (behind the forward role more) won everything in the air and created numberous chances. Scored an excellent goal by rounding the keeper.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">8/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h2>Subs</h2> <h3>Jones (L)</h3> <blockquote><p>Came on last 10 minutes, held the ball up well to keep pressure off defence.<br /> <strong><span style="color: #993300">7/10</span></strong></p></blockquote> <h2>AWOL</h2> <blockquote><p>Baggo – Who knows<br /> Latham – Who knows<br /> Craig (T) – Mid-season break </p></blockquote> </blockquote> <p><br/><a href="http://thesmithfieldfc.co.uk/performance-vs-john-marston-h-sub-cup/169/ ">Performance vs John Marston (H) (Sub Cup)</a></p> <p class="facebook"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=" target="_blank"><img src="http://thesmithfieldfc.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/add-to-facebook-plugin/facebook_share_icon.gif" alt="Share on Facebook" title="Share on Facebook" /></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook">Share on Facebook</a></p> Fordy on "Smithfield prepare for battle against Blurton Club" http://thesmithfieldfc.co.uk/forum/topic/299#post-1796 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:39:25 +0000 Fordy 1796@http://thesmithfieldfc.co.uk/forum/ <blockquote><p>Blurton have got the most random results I have ever seen this season:</p> <ul> <li>V’s John Marston Away - 5-4 Win</li> <li>V’s Brittania @ Home – 2-2 Draw</li> <li>V’s Thistleberry Away – 4-0 Win</li> <li>V’s Draycott Potters Away – 3-4 Lost *</li> <li>V’s Brittania @ Home – 3-4 Lost *</li> <li>V’s Duke of York @ Home – 4-3 Win</li> <li>V’s Village Town Away – 4-3 Win *</li> <li>V’s The Place @ Home – 5-3 Win</li> <li>V’s Auto Direct Away- 4-2 Win</li> <li>V’s Angel Inn Away – 2-2 Draw</li> </ul> <p>*<em> Indicates cup fixture</em></p> <p>This looks to be a tricky fixture for the Smithfield as Blurton Club have cleary got goals in them scoring an impressive 34 goals in 10 games. This is similar to the Smithfields record who themselves scored 30 goals in 8 games.</p> <p>Both sides have got suspect defensive records with the Smithfield conceding 26 goals in 8 games and Blurton conceding 27 goals out of their 10. </p> <p>The big difference between these sides is the difference in opposition. The Smithfield comfortably beat the Duke of York ealier in the season and should have beat them by a bigger margin, whereas Blurton just sneaked a victory in a 4-3 thriller.</p> <p>The Smithfield are also on excellent form not losing over 90 minutes in 4 games and getting the 2 best results of the season within these fixtures. Although the defensive record is not good on paper, the Smithfield seem to be settling down defensively with the central partnership of Tudor and Harris becoming pivotal in the side. The full backs have been producing much better performances recently and the implementation of a holding midfielder seems to be giving the Smithfield a defensive edge.</p> <p>This mixed with the goal scoring ability the Smithfield with Ford, Jones, Askey, Maskery, Smith, Bagnall and Craig all netting goals for the side, it is no wonder the Smithfield are on favourites with BET365 offering 4/11 for the win. Jones will be missed after netting himself 7 goals so far but has been placed as doubtful due to injury.</p> <p>Currently 2nd in the Premier League the Smithfield will be hoping to continue their cup run and pick up a win this weekend.</p> <p>This pundits prediction: Blurton Club 2 v 4 The Smithfield.</p> <p>Lets see more predictions:</p></blockquote> <p><br/><a href="http://thesmithfieldfc.co.uk/smithfield-prepare-for-battle-against-blurton-club/133/ ">Smithfield prepare for battle against Blurton Club</a></p> <p class="facebook"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=" target="_blank"><img src="http://thesmithfieldfc.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/add-to-facebook-plugin/facebook_share_icon.gif" alt="Share on Facebook" title="Share on Facebook" /></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook">Share on Facebook</a></p> psycho on "T.B.
