Staffs Knot 1 vs 2 Prince Of Wales FC

<p class="MsoNormal">Well&nbsp; Well lads here is the second month &nbsp;of 2013 and what a January we have had . An unexpected arrival in future left back Mansell-Roberts ... Gaz&rsquo;s revelation that an op was needed .....an earth shattering last minute cup opt-out from our normally calm mild-mannered ginger custodian of the sticks.....an unbelievable show of support at The Prince for the Race Event raising &pound;250............. and young Barrington Botos the midfield playmaker for 2030 about to pop his lovely bonce into daylight to raise or spirits even further . What more could you wish for boys - u could put your manager in hospital at this rate ...........................doh did you spot that ? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So as I said its Feb and a &lsquo;Local Derby&rsquo; to boot versus Staffs Knot . My &nbsp;team talk was short , sweet and effortlessly &nbsp;easy as one of their tubby &nbsp;midfielders had &nbsp;happened to comment to me on the Dog Night that &lsquo;only Gaz Holder would merit a place in their side&rsquo; . The dressing room now bristled ... the warm up was done ... the stage was set ............the aforementioned &nbsp;&nbsp;Gary now adopting a managerial posture (he looks the part) . Wednesfields pitch was heavy (very heavy) &nbsp;and the Knot controlled the first 10 minutes as we got used to our&nbsp; 3&nbsp; 5&nbsp; 2 . We came close ..they came close . A&nbsp; fine block by Cassidy kept it 0-0 . When Andy got caught in possession on the left it gave the right winger time to drill it in for their only goal of the game . They went close again (once) but that was all they had to offer as Prince began to dominate ..wasting a few chances to equalise before the break . Just before the interval a defensive mix up left Casso in a heap as play was held up as the paramedic arrived . They had to call for back up as they realized the car wouldn&rsquo;t hold Casso and an ambulance (with stretcher) came to whisk him to New Cross hospital. &nbsp;Toone &nbsp;took the gloves and the position admirably and never look flustered as we absolutely pissed the second half&nbsp; hitting Knot with wave after wave of attack . Toony could have had a kip tbf&nbsp; as &nbsp;Squizz controlled a long ball , flicked it deftly over the defence for Colin to lob the keeper and swivel round him to finish 1-1. Enter Vaughan-Campbell , on to replace the curmudgenous Roberts for fresh blood on the left . We bombed again but took a while before Acker White our seasoned midfielder steered in a pacy cross for Squizz to neatly glance in the winner.&nbsp; By now Colin was &nbsp;running the shell shocked Knots in circles and almost set up the much chagrined &nbsp;Luke Lloyd for a third . Smiles all round again boys as we trooped off with a deserved 2-1 victory . The rotund Knot player who dissed us at Monmore looked visibly shaken and glanced pathetically &nbsp;in my direction, perhaps awaiting &nbsp;a smug comment .. not my style&nbsp; mate - I&rsquo;m saving it for Hydes Rd !.&nbsp;
