Bramhall Rangers 6 - 6 Slim Jims

Ok, rascle index again.

Not bad. Tho match turned into a rough game. With people on their side fouling a lot again, and the ref being crappy and useless. Anyway, onto the stats, which might shock some people with its findings..


1-0 01.06 - John collects ball, rolls to Justin. He turns his guy, and shoots through the legs of another to score.
2-0 03.36 - Free kick. Justin rolls to open mini down the wing. He Passes back to Justin who shoots and scores.
3-0 05.04 - Shiz crosses ball to Russ, who squares it across the face of goal for Justin to miss, and then score with his own rebound.
3-1 09.23 - Pete intercepts the pass, but poor first touch Gives it to striker. Pete gives up running back with him, and he scores one on one with pie.
4-1 17.34 - John rolls to Justin, who runs down wing, and takes the shot. Keeper palms it out, and Russ taps in.
4-2 20.40 - Ball passed to striker, Justin gets turned, and striker shoots, he scores with his own rebound.
5-2 26.23 - Piggy passes to Russ, who shoots first time and hits the far post, Justin nails in the rebound.
5-3 27.54 - Justin passes to Piggy, whose poor first touch gives it to a player. He then passes back to Piggy's guy who is in acres of room, and scores.
5-4 32.10 - Free kick. Pie palms the shot out, strikers shot too strong for piggys tackle, and the ball flies into the net. Piggy was unlucky not to win the challenge.
5-5 37.28 - Mini passes to Piggy, whose poor first touch gives it to the striker. Despite good sprinting from piggy, he gets a shot in, which easily beats a stranded Pie.
6-5 42.56 - Player is subbing off, but hasnt told ref. Meanwhile, Justin takes free kick to mini, who flicks on to shiz, who scores off screen. Despite protests, goal stands as they didnt tell the ref they were subbing.
6-6 48.32 - shiz concedes free kick for tackling in the corner. No-one moves, and Russ's guy gets beyond a static Russ to score.
49.56 full time.


Justin had 17 shots, 1 assist, and 4 Goals.
Mini had 9 shots, 2 assists, and NO Goals.
Piggy had 6 shots, NO assists, NO Goals.
Shiz had 9 shots, No assists, and 1 Goal.
Russ has 7 shots, 2 assists, and 1 Goal.

We had 48 shots to their 51 shots.


I know we're not supposed to be Piggy bashing. But he scored no goals, had no assists, had less shots than the 2 defenders, and looks like 3 goals were a result of poor first touch. Although obviously, at times other players could probably have left their guy and sprinted to cover his error. So the goals aren't specifically his fault. He merely put other players under pressure. So he NEEDS to imprvoe this for next time. However, that said, he was tracking back a lot more, and you could see passion in his game! First time in long while! But he is FAST, and closed people down well at times!

Our 6th goal against was purely tiredness. Only justin moved, and i take responsibility for not covering my man. I was exhausted as i played a lot longer than usual. But i will aim to be better at this in the future.

Nice to see shiz return to form! Great tackling, and a goal to boot. And i'm proud that i scored a goal, and assisted 2 others. Seems practising now and again is really helping my attacking game! Although i need to call for the ball more, and call when i'm making a pass.
So, make of that as you will!

Good surmising. I thought yesterdays game was different to the last time we played them as rather than get rattled by their tatics we gave as good as we good. There were a few times when it could have blown up but we kept it under wraps, so well done.

I can assure you that my performance will improve for next week and I was very personally disappointed with my game.

Russ having to play more was probably because I didnt have as much match time as i wanted, tho I wasnt feeling 100% or playing that way.

Good too see goals coming from other areas. Hopefully we can build on that. I thought Pete played well in battling and strength so it shows he is picking up the suggestions. Next week if he remembers this and also focuses on passing and touch then he will gradually improve further.

What about my assist Russ? You seem to missed off the first goal came from me. I want recognition!
