February 4

Vauxhall (12-9-10, 11th) vs. Kidderminster (10-7-13, 17th)

Another snoozer that looks like it's headed to a scoreless tie. The defense is playing well, but for whatever reason, the offense has forgotten how to score goals. We do finally manage to win a match when Alan Byrne heads a corner into the net in the 76th minute.

Final: Vauxhall 1, Kidderminster 0
Goal: Byrne
Assist: Dey
Top Three: Byrne 7.4, Walker 7.0, Dey 6.9
Worst: Blakely 6.2


February 11

Vauxhall (13-9-10, 10th) at Forest Green (16-4-12, 4th)

Prescott ends his slump by putting a header through in the 13th minute. We manage to hold that until the end of the first half when Kennedy puts the ball in his own net. Then we try to hold on for the big victory, but Byrne misplays a long ball and allows the opposing striker to have a free run at the striker. The result is another 2-1 loss after going up 1-0.

Final: Forest Green 2, Vauxhall 1
Goal: Prescott
Assist:
Top Three: Prescott 7.1, Walker 6.7, Blakely 6.7
Worst: Hubbard 6.2


February 14

Vauxhall (13-9-11, 12th) at Southport (16-9-8, 3rd)

Khan sends a great pass in to Worsfold, who beats the keeper on the near post. And that's all the scoring in the game. We have 9 more shots on goal, but can't put any through. Dunn, Prescott, and Hubbard all have terrible games.

Final: Vauxhall 1, Southport 0
Goal: Worsfold
Assist: Khan
Top Three: Worsfold 7.1, Khan 7.0, Walker 6.9
Worst: Dunn 6.2

February 25

Vauxhall (14-9-11, 11th) at Eastleigh (16-11-8, 3rd)

After trading goals int he 1st half, we take the lead in the 46th minute when Fry heads home a Khan cross. In the 54th minute we cannot properly clear a cross and the equalizer is scored. Then we have trouble keeping up with the opposing striker who gets wide open and makes Walker look silly. Missed opportunity to make up some points.

Final: Eastleigh 3, Vauxhall 2
Goals: Byrne, Fry
Assists: Dey, Khan
Top Three: Byrne 7.3, Dey 7.2, Fry 7.1
Worst: Walker 6.3


*So I was excited to be able to sign Willie Dunn, who was so good for us last year, but he has yet to score a goal in six matches.
