Our Worst: Nobody lower than 6.9
With many of our players still tired from the match three days earlier, I started a number of different men in today's fixture. The results look good, don't they?
Price was oustanding in his Alfredians debut. He was solid defensively all match long, and the header he fired in was a beauty.
The supporters weren't as happy as they might have been with the result, however. They "were disappointed to see a weakened team fielded." They obviously looked at the roster, not at the result. I'll take this outcome from a "weakened team" anytime.
Note to self, however: When we have fixtures scheduled close together from now on, try to start the stronger side at Alfredians Park, rather than away.
