Blyth (5-1-0, 1st BSBN) vs Vauxhall (1-3-2, 16th BSBN)
We're 1:3 favorites at home, hopefully we play like it. Deen-Conteh is away on int'l duty, Musungu still not back from injury but mostly the regulars today as we don't play again for a week. We'll start out 4-4-2 Standard.

GK: Dovey
D: McGovern, Kerr, Seidu, Boateng
M: Shulton, Baker, Smyth, Moke
F: Rickard, Cofie
Subs: (Seery, Paratore, Desgages, Ahmed, McDonald)

6' - Good early pressure, good crossing, nothing comes from it yet
21' - Switch to Attacking
25' - Shulton has an open shot, misses a little wide to the far side
44' - Boateng foul gives Vauxhall a free kick, shot it wide

Halftime: We need to find a goal soon I think. Just letting them hang around isn't going to cut it no matter how okay we appear to be playing, that's how bad things end up happening.

62' - Sub Desgages (for Rickard, )
69' - Smyth whistles a free kick over the crossbar
74' - Sub Ahmed (for Shulton, tired)
80' - Sub Paratore (for McGovern, knocked?/exhausted) ... shift Smyth to DC, Boateng to DL, Seidu to DR
83' - Counterattack, Vauxhall misses wide
89' - 3 minutes added time

Full time: Blyth 0 - Vauxhall 0
Nobody sucked but nobody did the one last thing to win it either. Kerr (7.4) is MOM. Lowest ratings were 6.6 (Smyth & Shulton). Rickard's 25th league appearance, our 11th match without a defeat.

It's two points that got away, we should be winning matches like this & I let Coach Whitfield calmly make that crystal clear.

AssMan tells me that ML Jack Harrison wants first team playing time. Eh, not worth the worry frankly.

We've added a mediocre physio (8 rating Physio, 17 Discipline) David Killock mostly to help with the workload.
