Goodfellas 2 vs 1 Studz

<p>Andy Mullen

<p>First of all, last time I wrote a report I was told off for not saying<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />that we suck enough, but I will have to disappoint again, as today was<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />another performance of the non-sucking variety. These performances are<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />becoming the norm now....we better be careful otherwise we may actually<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />be considering a football team soon and we wouldn't want that!!<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />Anyway, the score is at the top so if that's all the information you<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />require you can stop reading now, well if that's all you wanted to know<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />I doubt you will have got this far.<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />For those of you still with me the&nbsp;Fellas&nbsp;turned out on the&nbsp;Ho Man Tin<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />pitch resembling the face of the moon (if the moon had grass on it)<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />decked out in our brand new classic kits. I'm sure the picture will do<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />the rounds soon once it has been zoomed in a bit after Bulldog stood on<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />top of the Peak to take it!!&nbsp;<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />The Fellas were reminded to continue the hard work from last week's<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />battling 1-0 win over Legal Head, while we were also wary of Studz which<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />saw them sit level on points with the Fellas after winning three of<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />their first five games and only losing one.<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />I may be a little biased when I say this, but we had to need to worry.&nbsp;<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />The Fellas lined up with Andy (weird referring to myself but Ill roll<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />with it) in goal, with Bear and Parker in central defence supported by<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />Ikes and Doug. Garrow, Shaka, Justin and Cedric lined in midfield with<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />Derek 'I am a striker honest' Killburn up front with Howard as the<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />Fellas stuck with the 4-4-2 formation.<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />The Fellas controlled the possession from the off although Studz had an<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />early shot on goal which dropped just over the crossbar from the edge of<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />the area. The Fellas also suffered an early blow as Bear was forced off<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />after ripping his nail off his big toe, and has to be replaced my<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />Mauritian Dave.<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />David stepped straight into the action and made his mark with an early<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />tackle.&nbsp;<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />The Fellas continued to dominate possession with Studz happy to sit back<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />and attempt the odd long ball.&nbsp;<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />Derek had the best chance of the first half as America's 113th best<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />export surged down the right wing and fired a shot just off the mark<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />from inside the area, while the Fellas were also denied by several<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />suspect offside calls!!<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />The Fellas were reminded to keep it up during the half-time team talk<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />before Seb replaced Doug at right back and Japanese flyer Koh stepped in<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />at left midfield in place of Garrow.<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />And the move paid off shortly after the break as Koh capitalised on a<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />goalmouth scramble to open the scoring after the goalkeeper decided to<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />use his legs to block Parker's flighted free-kick before his defence<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />stood around looking at each other.&nbsp;<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />The lead though did not last as a Stud (??) was allowed time on the edge<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />of the area and shot into the corner of the net past a static Andy, who<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />really should have done better.<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />But the Fellas did not let their heads drop and the Blue clad army<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />regained the lead as Shaka coolly flicked the ball over his head and<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />hooked the ball home.&nbsp;<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />Peps came on for Shaka and managed to foul a Stud soon after as the<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />Fellas stood firm and fourth win in six games.&nbsp;<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />After losing the first game, the Fellas have avoided another verbal<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />battering with a series of battling, hard working displays, which were<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />achieved as a team.&nbsp;<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />Positives - the new kit.&nbsp;<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />Team work - everyone kept their heads up and kept working for the entire<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />game. As they said in Field of Dreams.....build it and they will come!!<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" /><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />Negatives - Bulldogs camera work.<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial;" />- the new kit, the shorts are a little big!!
