Transfer In - DL Miles Mitchell (28)
Guys who are decent at Complete Wingback are hard to find. Miles will be an upgrade in the role over the disappointing Luke Williams.

Transfer In - GK Jordan Yorath (30)
*Finally* a good keeper to put in the net. Huge improvement and instant starter.

Remember when I was geeking about Gaz Wilson?

This just hit my feed:

You may remember Martin Crawford as the St. Kitts & Nevis central midfielder as the guy who posted a 6.61 average rating, but in actuality played better than that most of the 16 games he was in. He's been with Cadbury Heath since then, which has finished 5th and 6th the last two seasons in the Eastern Counties Division One. They're slated to finish in the promo spots, but are currently a poor 14th mid-table through 10 games. Crawford has yet to appear in any games this season, after 37 his first year, and 16 last season.

9th vs AFC Stanground (14th)
G: Jordan Yorath
D: Miles Mitchell/Jamie Hopkins/Ian Penney/Ryan Leggett
DM: Paul Nisbet
M: Justin Cooper/Chris Dickman
AM: Vernon Francis
ST: Gaz Wilson/Adam Cornell

57 - Unacceptable. 0-1

59 - Mitchell at AMC, Attwood for Hopkins, Mbeleck at DR.

75 - Mitchell to Cooper to Wilson. The shot is blocked, but Wilson gets the ball back and kicks it in, despite stupid ass calls of offisides 1-1

78 - Brilliant pushout by Nisbet deep in our end that starts a Cornell run down the pitch. The others catch up, and the end move is Nisbet to Dickman to Cornell in the box, who centers it to Sam Mitchell, and the 1 v 1 is good!!! 2-1

92 - One of their guys is red carded in the closing minutes.

So, really nice comeback win after I switched from Counter to Attacking at half, then Overload with Shoot on Sight. 7.4 for Adam Cornell as PotM, 7.2 for Gaz Wilson, and 7.2 for supersub Sam Mitchell, who might be pushing to get a start if he can keep that up.

8th @ Middleton Cheney (2nd)
G: Jordan Yorath
D: Miles Mitchell/Jamie Hopkins/Ian Penney/Ryan Leggett
DM: Paul Nisbet
M: Justin Cooper/Chris Dickman
AM: Vernon Francis
ST: Gaz Wilson/Adam Cornell

43 - Francis takes a potshot outside the box. It's pushed away, but Francis gets the rebound inside the box and crosses to Wilson, where all the goalie can do is watch the shot go by. 1-0

49 - Leggett with the crazy long throw to the box that's bounced away. Leggett gets the ball back and passes to I forget who. The cross to Wilson is intercepted, but it bounces in the middle of the box, and Cooper drills it home. 2-0

62 - Cooper slides back to DM to replace the tired Nisbet, and Kenny Collett, a youth pull last season who was waiting for his chance at the senior level, hops in at BWM for his debut.

77 - Collett slides to BBM, and Attwood comes on as the BWM, because now Dickman is wiped.

89 - And just like that, Collett is knocked out. Cue Wilson as BBM, Cornell switching to AF, and Chitty at DLP.

Vernon Francis's 7.5 is good for PotM, but just behind at 7.4 were Justin Cooper and Ryan Leggett.

The good news: With the win, we're 3 points away from 2nd place.
The bad news: Kenny Collett is out 3 months with a torn hamstring.

Transfer Out - DLC Simon Bryant - N/C
I'm surprised he stayed with us as long as he did. Played three seasons in a Thorney jersey, and totaled 24 appearances, most as a reserve.

7th @ Wilmslow Albion (13th)
G: Jordan Yorath
D: Miles Mitchell/Jamie Hopkins/Ian Penney/Ryan Leggett
DM: Paul Nisbet
M: Justin Cooper/Chris Dickman
AM: Vernon Francis
ST: Gaz Wilson/Adam Cornell

The heavy favorites to win the league have gotten off to a rough start, finding themselves in the drop zone. Which means they'll probably start roaring back here.

2 - In 2 minutes, Cooper gets a yellow and knocked out with injury. Dickman moves to BWM, Francis shifts down to BBM, and Mitchell goes in at AMC.

31 - Putrid free kick defending 0-1

38 - Francis lobs it up for Cornell and it's intercepted, but they don't hang on to it, and Cornell runs past everyone, steals the ball, dribbles, and sinks the perimeter shot. 1-1

54 - Sam Mitchell is stinking out there, so Francis and Dickman go to their original positions, and Attwood comes in. Mbeleck replaces the equally putrid Leggett.

78 - Dickman to Atwood to Francis, and then a beautiful ball in the box that Wilson gets to first and spears home. 2-1

84 - LOL. So Yorvath, who is playing with a knock, by the way, goal kicks it, and it bounces to the other goalie. He waits, and then lazily line drives it forward, where Wilson intercepts and sends it into the wide open net. 3-1

87 - Mike Mitchell hangs on to the ball too long and gets it taken away, and then everyone falls asleep on the cross, allowing them to literally walk it in. 3-2

But we hold them off after that. 8.3 for Adam Cornell, and 8.8 for PotM Gaz Wilson. Suddenly, we're up to 3rd - 3 points out of 2nd, 6 points out of 1st. Can we really pull the double promotion?!

But it's going to be tough. Jordan Yorath is out 2-3 weeks with a thigh strain, and will miss our next game.
