Great performance first half, gave a footballing lesson.

Good to see the players willing to mix it until they were given the chance to play their football, played some good stuff with the initial 3 up front. Fell apart a bit with the injuries and changes.

Looked a yard quicker to the ball than FCUM and took quite a few whacks on their ankles for it.

Interesting to see that the FCUM fans on their forum believe the ref was soft on our 'diving'.

Funny game, when I felt that some of the FCUM players were lucky with their late challenges and 10 was a very lucky boy to survive a few kicks out at players when a fussy ref would have sent him off for the first one.  They were the only team not to play the muscle card last year, strange how they felt the need to bully this year. Much like we've changed to a more physical game, must say something about what both teams learnt after a year in the Unidump.

I think they only came into it when our players started to believe the game was won and took their foot off the gas, lessons need to be learnt there as other teams will punish us if we do it again.

Not going to go over the top with this one, but job done at one of the harder places to go, and we'll be home and dry by half time if we play like that some weeks.

Onwards and upwards.

great result , not getting over excited, as the last 15 mins or so we could'nt stop them attacking and other teams will punish us if its a constant thing

but its early days , hopefully a lesson learnt about not taking the foot off the gas

Great result, the lads did well, it's hard to hold a lead especially away, and they had two tricky wingers. First competative game for a team of players who have only been together a few weeks. If they can keep working for each other we have a chance of a decent season. The team and management will have learnt slot today

Great performance apart from last 15 mins when we played far too deep.Other than that out-played them after a quiet first 10 mins.Can't believe the Mancs are accusing us of "diving",some of their tackling was nothing short of assault.Other than those already mentioned,good performances from Camm and Cullingworth as well I thought.

A couple of quotes from the Pink 'un site. (Norfolk-based football news.)

14th August: "King's Lynn boss Carl Heggs insists the Linnets fear no-one ahead of the Unibond Premier Division kick off."

15th August: "King's Lynn boss Carl Heggs slammed his under-performing players for the worst display of his managerial career after a 3-1 Unibond Premier Division opening day home defeat to Stocksbridge at The Walks."

Agree with that.
I recognise that "football's a mans' game" and this league is a physical one, but there's a line between "competitive" and nasty play.
FCUM's 5 & 6 I thought were excellent today (which meant getting 2 past them was superb). All of their forward players: 7, 8, 9. 10 & 11 however,all overstepped the line one way or another. I've not seen many players as petulant as 10. Can someone tell me how a ref can make a great show of giving him a last warning, only to do exactly the same to him a short while later and still not card him ? Late tackles, Kicking out, and shirt pulling were rife and the ref didn't clamp down on it.
I had a lot of respect for FC how they've set their stall out to do things the right way but I'm afraid I don't any more if this is the way they are going  to perform this season.
Has anyone heard how Matt Austin is?

Title: Re: FC United vs. Boston United - Match Thread
Post by: Pilgrims67 on August 16, 2009, 09:07:20 AM
Yes, we must have at least 3 players for every position, however financial reality is that isn't going to happen, players have to play in more than one position.
I see premier teams hanging on to a lead with last 15 minutes to go, momentum is always with the team chasing the game, that's why teams make comebacks. The effort of the players to hold on was first class, the defended in numbers and threw everything at the ball, it has been a few years since I have seen a united team work so hard, and so committed to keeping a lead, in recent past seasons we would have capitulated and lost. We didn't and that shows real team spirit.
Title: Re: FC United vs. Boston United - Match Thread
Post by: woad_pilgrim on August 16, 2009, 09:32:19 AM
Personally thought for an hour we where superb, we stopped them playing their passing game, passed the ball well and scored 2 good goals. Davidson had 2 other great chances and Sleath also had a very good chance and on another day we would of been out of sight. This led to frustration from them and they where very lucky to finish with 11 as 2 or 3 of theirs should of gone. In this time I can't really recall them opening us up at all.

Last half hour was a different matter, not sure whether it was the substitutions that changed the game or us thinking the job was done or maybe a bit of both but they laid siege to our goal and it was a combination of good luck, good goalkeeping, poor finishing from them and defenders throwing themselves in front of the ball that prevented us from losing the lead. As Pilgrim67 has said it is a rare attribute to have a team that committed to the cause to not lose the lead and this cannot be underestimated.

As someone else has said we went far too deep in that last half hour but for me a more telling factor was that we stopped passing the ball and started hitting it long. All this did was build pressure and momentum for them as they just stroked the ball about and came back with wave after wave of attack.

It was a great result and not many teams will go to there and take 3 points but there is always lessons to be learnt and I'm sure Rob and Paul will be working with the team to put right what went wrong in the last half hour. For me the biggest thing is we musn't revert to a long ball game as it really doesn't suit this team and on another day we may get punished.

Finally must mention the turnout from Boston, as has been said must have been over 300 and maybe even as many as 400 well done to all on a fantastic opening day let's have more of the same.

Post by: Seenbetter on August 16, 2009, 10:16:51 AM
First of all what a great result. Terrific effort and congrats to the lads for not retaliating under extreme provocation. It's interesting that some of their supporters I spoke to thought that we were the bad guys on the day. Their number 4 should have seen red card for violent behaviour for the way he kicked our lads legs away from behind after the ball had gone. It was done right in front of the ma(sorry, nearly put man) person in the black fancy dress. What a tosser. All he did was warn the player about the tackle when he should have at least reached for a card. That person was a poor excuse for a ref and shouldn't be put in charge of a blow football game. At least two of their players should have been sent off for late tackles.

Now, what happened in the last 30 mins?. Played just like Boston played under Evans. Just kick it long and hope theres someone there to get it..We were very lucky to win that game despite the efforts of our gladiators. Good job we have no mid week game, will need the break for the players to recover from the assaults.
Roll on next Saturday.

lovely to see so many of you yesterday at the estadio gigg. i know our players may have upset you a little, certainly tunji 'son of remi' moses proved himself to be a chip off the old bone, and si carden tried his best to replicate houdini's amazing bending bone trick, but in our defence, or rather in a childish sense of 'yeah but', your number two was a shithouse, and your number 11, in the red boots, was, apparently 'a tart'.

so there we have it.

you totally deserved the win. first half you bossed our midfield despite the bruise brothers. and while we pegged you back for the last twenty minutes or so, the damage (errm, literally I suppose, in the case of the guy stretchered off with swamp fever) had been done. fc united are good at this whole going behind, getting the crowd going, before losing valiantly. it's shit.

good luck for the season. it's always nice having a proper football club come visit.

Thanks for the kind words itch,but I must take issue with a couple of points.First,I have it on good authority our number 11 (Clarke) is not a tart,and second,his boots were not red,they were a sort of candy pink.............. ;)

Title: Wingers and Tactics
Post by: father Ted on August 16, 2009, 01:37:27 PM
 Just a word about about  wingers .or our lack of them..
   FCUM  had 2 .. who made a nuisance of themselves..
     We had no pure wingers on show ..but used others on the wing  
        We would agree our attack yesterday was basically a fluid arrow head formation with players constantly swapping postions..this got us  2 goals..
         With the wide men ..FCUM had more attacking ..and possibly defensive ..options which told in the last Quarter..
        So it looks like 4 3 3  .. Chelsea style .. for us 4 now , and don't play it too deep ..!

I hate to say this after such a good result but If we had a weakness on the field it was our Number 2, but in fairness to him their 10 was a bit good on the left, shame he was such a pratt and ended up with the majority of our supporters on his back instead of having them thinking he was a bit good. We could do with him in the team with his talent.
It was good to see H or S, the tall one anyway, with his fist in the air at the end. Made you feel that this club is about winning and success now instead of screwing it. After yesterdays effort next Saturday deserves a crowd of around 1500+ so lets get those missing from the terraces to turn up and support the club instead of turning their backs when things went wrong because of the Scottish virus.

 Who was our No 2..?
    Thought Woodie was very tidy ..tho not quite fulfilling the wing -back role he tried at times..
     If its Cullingworth .. did n't really notice anything from him..
        Thought he was supposed to be a centre back ? no way I think ..
          Hope he's not another Tom Matthews..
  I kept confusing him ..Newsh  .. and was it Sleath ? as they all look boyish..
     Maybe one young head too many for future games..

Last season I tended to use both the Unibond League and the Sky Sports sites, but neither was totally reliable - both of them were posting incorrect results at various times.

The Unibond site seemed to have the results up fairly quickly yesterday. They were certainly all up by the time I'd had a pint in the Rose & Crown after the match.

Try http://www.livescores.co.uk/  They normally do live scores down to conference level but I noticed yesterday they were doing the Unibond. It's a good site for general stats too.

Thought I'd throw in my opinion about the match on Saturday.
To be honest we were lucky to win that, a combination of poor FCUM finishing, good goal keeping and a bit of luck kept us in it for the last 20 mins.  First 25 to 30 mins we didn't really get started but then we began to play some decent stuff and carried this through to the second half.
Davidson is far from a brilliant striker despite scoring two.  The first I'm not sure he even knew what he was doing and the second anyone could have scored.  Having said that if he carries on banging in two a match I will have no complaints even if I do think he is overrated.
Our two full backs, particularly Wood, were absolutely awesome.  Canoville was a little light weight but that may be resolved with better match fitness. Overall the back four were pretty good.
The midfield was superb and did definitely boss the FC boys through a lot of the match.

All in all a good weekend and a very good result to start us off.  I would also just like to comment on how impressed I am with the FCUM set up and what they are trying to achieve there and to wish them the best of luck for the rest of the season.

fcum + team and fans. The ground is bury, i wish them good luck in getting there own ground as i beleivee without the rent they will become a larger and stronger team. There one of the few teams i beleive have the potencial to show some of the big spenders up.

we won,all be it it was like the allamo at the end but were gonna be in scraps like that and it is good to know that we can rely on the lads to dig deep and also keeper to make them all important saves.did fucum think that they had a young new side visiting  and rough stuff would be ideal on the day.great win no matter what

Agreed..
  Also I  think   D.D  was taken off 2 early ..
   I saw Scott shouting at him to tackle back ,, but thought he was beginning to get the message
      Then  Suarez  came on and looked like a boy among  men ....
