  • Chopper : I meant my left leg is dead
  • Chopper : The 1 that u clattered into Ian is ok mate, got red marks down it form your studs or shinpad or watever it was. My right leg is killin, its completeley dead.
  • the gaffer : Well done today players, that's the real Smithfield and you were robbrd of a deserved victory because of a ref's decision that was staggering in it's effect on the result
  • Cyrix : My knee is killing me btw Chopper... how are both your thighs? Sorry about that :mrgreen:
  • Cyrix : Well done today everyone... we made a good account of ourselves... even if we were conned by the ref. I think even the management will agree this time!!!
  • Cyrix : I agree mate, I think that's ridiculous
  • Fordy : «link»
  • Fordy : Ford looks at his future at the club - «link»
  • Cyrix : And Fordy's rating corrected for the previous game «link»
  • Cyrix : Player ratings up «link»
  • Tone : suspension quished due to excellent legal team. result of the season so far, great tactics gaffer :D
  • the gaffer : The case of Staffs FA v Bagnall to be televised live on ESPN
  • the gaffer : Bagnall assailant throws punches again despite suspension
  • the gaffer : Grange Park v Signalman abandoned after mass brawl
  • the gaffer : Park Inn fold so Prem teams go around again
  • Fordy : Prediction - Game will be off tomorrow!!! Walked the dogs this morning at 11 and Birchenwood was frozen solid. It's colder tonight as well!
  • Fordy : I've got no problem showing the same commitment, just won't come training for a few weeks!
  • the gaffer : Guys
  • the gaffer : you'll never be Mask < but take his workrate and commitment on Sunday as a benchmark and you may get close
  • Fordy : if I was mask, I'd be insulted!
  • Fordy : ...but dont forget "player", the ratings are linked to the persons ability, so does that mean that Mask played 8/10 of his ability?
  • Fordy : If we recall, how many times has this been said in the past, "its not the defence, its the whole team", this season, anything negative is the midfields fault...
  • Fordy : More importantly, can we not use the word guys in the shoutbox, its power gay!
  • Cyrix : Guys, can I just point out that major discussions should happen on the thread in the forum, as the shoutbox posts get deleted after a certain amount of time!
  • Tone : the ratings dont really give a performance rating more of a pointing of the finger. maybe its the management that need to be more vocal instead of just passing the book.
  • Tone : "Over run in the middle" yes this may well have happened once again and it was given to the sidelines attention on more than one occasion by myself and other team members during the game and at half time but took until about the 75min befor anything changed.
  • Tone : "Should be more vocal to prevent players being seemingly unmarked and less critical when the inevitable happens because they are". on each of sundays set pieces, as in every game, all of the opposition players were marked by not just me but other team members being "vocal" so how does this become a reason to point the blame at myself when the players lose their man and consequently score???
  • Fordy : ... You did however make a couple of mistakes, pushed one of the goals into your own net where I think you could have done better. Plus kicking was worst its been for a while, some kicks bounced just over the defence and got intercepted.
  • Fordy : Ian in regards to your performance. You did 2 double saves that were excellent. Cant fault those....
  • Fordy : should have bought Mask into midfield but anyone can come out with tactics in heinsight
  • Fordy : that lead to wingers being forced to mark full backs and offer no support to midfield or defence
  • Fordy : Theforwards did us no favours on Sunday, they are supposed to split the centre half and full back to stop them getting forward but just stood marking 1 person
  • Fordy : Tried but everyone was apparently marking. Not true but...
  • Fordy : p
  • the gaffer : Fordy maybe cus you'd lost your voice, it would have been easier to talk to the players around you regarding the 3 in middle overrunning us situation

Performance vs Grange Park Rangers (A) (Prem Cup)

January 17th, 2010 the gaffer Leave a comment Go to comments

It was a welcome return to football as the Mighty Firestarters travelled to Cobridge for the Premier cup tie against Grange Park Rangers. Smithfield had their chances and on balance should have won the game, but a last minute extra-time goal for Grange Park sealed the win and Smithfield crashed out of the cup.

This game will be remembered for the cowardly attack on skipper Tony Bagnall by the Grange Park forward, who punched Bagnall in the back of the head, unprovoked, when a handbags scuffle broke out after a Grange Park made a two-footed tackle on the skipper.

The game will also be remembered for Fordy’s Hand-of-God-Henry handball that took the game to extra time.

Stanway

Did well in difficult conditions and under a bombardment of long throws, was beaten by 3 one on ones, a penalty and a fluke free kick.
8/10

Clarke

Battled well and put their defence under pressure with good balls forward, ran himself into the ground, only one goal came from his side where he got caught out positionally.
8/10

Harris

Asked to play left back and did a sound job, good balls forward, strong tackling, played safe when needed and looked confident on the ball.
8/10

Askey

Outstanding game in the heart of the defence, tackled well, good distribution and dangerous free kicks.
9/10

Tudor

Another good game at the back, unlucky to concede the 3rd penalty in 2 games. Made some great interceptions and played the ball well from the back.
8/10

Ford

Scored a hand ball goal, but should have had at least 3 others, guilty of wasting the ball in extra time when players were free and in good positions.
7/10

Bagnall

Gradually gained control of the midfield and battled well until he had a little sleep in the 89th minute. Only player not to know he was sent off.
8/10

Baggeley

Scored and battled well in midfield, good passes and strong in the air, ran himself to a standstill and was replaced in the 71st minute.
8/10

Craig

Kept possession well and was involved in most of the goods moves down the right, kept the pressure on the fullback and could have scored in extra time to win the game.
8/10

Maskery

Good all round performance, scored a cracking goal, was always willing to chase down a lost cause. Always a threat up front.
8/10

Jones (L)

Scored a cracking goal, but should really have sown the game up in extra time, needs to work harder when he hasn’t got possession.
7/10

AWOL

Harris – Sickness
Cobby – Working
Mark – ???
Matt G – ???
