Venue: Away
Opposition: Pastures


Man of the Match: Butters; Our best player with an average performance just about says it all.

All Pastures had in their armoury to beat us was a will to win, a strong work ethic and a fat forward with a little bit of pace - that was enough.
I admit that it was a home teams pitch - that bounce was bad but we should have come to terms with it.
You failed to control the tempo and slipped into the old bad habbit that I thought we had got rid of by playing the way the opposition plays - in this case unimaginative and with a bit of pace which again goes back to the tempo issue.
You didnt put your mark on the game at all.
The Results Secretary had to ask me to repeat the scoreline when I rang it through, asking me what went wrong etc when I normally just get a matter of fact hello and goodbye from him - thats the measure of what a bad result it was.

Positives? Well, Ads got through 90 minutes unscathed, Lee showed hes still capable of coming off the bench and scoring and Butters kicking was great.

Youve let the club, me and yourselves down big time.
