We got a horrible draw for the FA Cup of course, but more on that later. Energy issues and not international callups caused a savaging of today's lineup on short rest - as well as using one of our backup formations.
A highlight-less first half, and
Williams goes in for exhausted, yellow-carded
Santiago at the break.
63 -
Kirwan's scheduled day of rest ends as he comes in for dreadful
Lloyd Simon at DL
72 -
Jarvis also sees his day off end, going in for
Hughes-Mason, who has been strong (7.0), but tiring rapidly.
73 - HORRIBLE JOB AT CLEARING THE BALL! KEPT GIVING RIGHT BACK TO THEM
0-1
81 -
Kirwan hits
Jarvis on the corner, and with some help from the underbar, that's his first Fort Road goal with the late equalizer. Good work, backline subs
1-1
90 -
Williams totally fucked us with two complete shit plays, and
Luke is never going to be a full-time starter for us because he should have stopped that
1-2
Fucked over AGAIN by a late goal. The press blames me for a tactical error in switching to this formation. FUCK.YOU. WE DIDN'T HAVE THE HEALTHY STRIKERS FOR IT!
Anton Farrell is out 3 months. We continue to get fucked by the injury bug.
vs Freemansville (3rd)
G: Lloyd George
D: Lloyd Simon/Molvin Hughes-Mason/Walter Williams
DM: Eugene Jeremy
M: Luke Simon/Alric Cochrane/Elvis Williams
S: Chesley Willett/Junior Cochrane/Kelly Nesbitt
*Now* comes the internationals ravaged lineup.
20 -
Elvis Williams launches a long free kick into the box that plants the ball right at
Nesbitt's feet for the score
1-0
37 -
George's free kick was absolute shit. Fuck this bullshit
1-1
43 -
Lloyd Simon has been shit this half, but he charges a throw-in to steal the ball, lateraling to
Alric Cochrane. On to
Nesbitt, then
Willett, and
Junior Cochrane is completely alone to receive the pass and pop in the go-ahead goal before half
2-1
60 -
Elvis Williams slips over to MC and
Peters comes on as MR
76 -
Kirwan comes on to replace
Willett as the DLF
85 - That double yellow on their dude may have just saved this game for us
86 - FUCK YOU!!!!!!!
2-2
92 -
Walter Williams to
Peters as times is running out. Our reserve right winger races down the flank and crosses to
Kirwan, who rises up to put in the header with seconds to go!!!!
3-2
Elvis Williams was great, with a 7.8 PotM. But the real heroes are
Reece Peters and
Quinton Kirwan, who both posted 7+ performances off the bench and gave us the monster upset that is so, so vital for promotion playoff hopes.
@ English Harbour (2nd)
G: Lloyd George
D: Lloyd Simon/Molvin Hughes-Mason/Marc Jarvis/Janiel Santiago
M: Brentton Kirwan/Alric Cochrane/Jermaine George
S: Quinton Kirwan/Calaum Henry/Kelly Nesbitt
Juggling the lineup around some, because we play these guys twice in a short time frame - once for league, once for FA Cup, and they've been murdering everyone. Both games are on the road. Like I said, we got fucked in our draw.
Bullshit home cooking
as we're hit with 4 yellow cards in the first 45 minutes.
50 -
Cochrane and
Willett replace
Henry and
Nesbitt respectively. I wanted to give the strikers more rest than that, but it's just not meant to be after Nesbitt blew an open shot, and Henry not only had a yellow, but is playing like it's his first time ever playing soccer
68 - Okay, I guess it doesn't matter who we put at striker. They're all going to fuck up easy shots
88 - Of course
Hughes-Mason gets a double yellow. Of course.
91 - How many times have we been dickfucked by a late goal?! sjkdfoasdhoagsdfgohgarghauiogharu FUCK THIS GAME!!! SUCH FUCKING ABULLSHIT ATE EVERY FUCKKCING TURN!!!!!!!
0-1
@ English Harbour (FA Cup First Round)
G: Lloyd George
D: Brentton Kirwan/Marc Jarvis/Walter Williams
DM: Randolph Abraham
M: Luke Simon/Elvis Williams/Reece Peters
S: Chesley Willett/JKelly Matthew/Kelly Nesbitt
I can't wait to see how we get fucked in this one.
4 -
Walter Williams throws to
Nesbitt in the box. In a crowd of defenders, he pushes it to
Matthew, who fires a gangsta shot between two defenders as a nice fuck you. Feels like forever since he's been able to play for us. But at least he's played, not like fellow expensive
Jermaine George, who still only has one appearance for the $6k we paid him - and he was shit besides, despite getting lots of reserve work as he came back from injury.
1-0
9 - 1, 2, 3... 3 straight
George kicks right to our opponents. The fucker pulls that shit constantly. If
Luke wasn't such ass as a keeper, he'd be getting starts because I'm sick of that bullshit.
12 -
Elvis Williams has a brutal intercepting header he knocks down to
Willett. First touch give to
Matthew who charges into the box, fights off three defenders, and powers his second goal in. We got denied promotion playoffs because of him, and it's safe to say, kid is a soccer god.
2-0
60 -
Santiago is literally the only other body we have that can play DC, so tired or not, he goes in for wiped
Jarvis. Sliding up to MC is
Abraham, with
Jeremy popping in at DM.
75 - So, we get fucked by injuries again.
Simon is playing with a groin injury, and now
Jeremy goes off with injury 15 minutes into being on the field.
Abraham back down to DM,
Matthew all the way dropped to MC, and
Junior Cochrane in at Poacher.
Kelly Matthew's 8.8 and PotM carried us, but begrudging respect to
Lloyd George's 7.3 despite his kicking fuckery.
Chesley Willett's 7.2 was third best.
Eugene Jeremy - Out 2 months
Luke Simon - Out 1 month
Even when we win, we get fucked.
Oh, and Brentton Kirwan will miss the next match with yellows, giving us one person who can play DL and nobody who can play ML. Screw job piled on top of screw job.
U-20 Callups
DL/ML Brentton Kirwan

So 3 out of 4 starters on the backline, and 2 of our 3 starting strikers. Fucking wonderful.
It's not next game that'll hit us with it, but it's still damned frustrating.
