Friday Night Mayhem !!!

As another year passes for the inspirational captain of the Oaks, he would like to celebrate reaching the supposed 'prime' of his football career by inviting the team to Mayhem.

I will be meeting in the last post in the evening time for a pint or two. Everyone's welcome of course, even milesy. They'll probably have a side door that they can sneak you inside !!!

08/01/07: Sockett's Heath 1 Vs Oaks Athletic 2

It wasn't the prettiest game of football, but we we got our first three points of the season and thats what matters I suppose. We have Sockett's Heath again in a couple of weeks, and I'd like think that we can raise our game to how good a lot of our players think they are...
The resilience and battling on the pitch is important when defending, but the best form of defence is attack. Therefore, players need to create space for themselves to receive the ball under control and make decisive passes. The other team gave us a game, but if we can sort out our passing, their salad-dodgers will have no chance.
Jacko set up our first goal with a goal-kick that was launched into the 18 yard box at the other end, this allowed Nathan to make a monkey out of their keeper. The second was just as comical with Gollum playing a one-two with the crossbar to slot in his first goal of the season! We were caught cold in the second half, giving away a soft goal following a couple of mistakes. We managed to hold on to our lead, just. Sockett's Heath hit the bar and had many other attempts cleared of the line by eye-ball and myself (I know I kicked two off the line, one in each half), so it was a narrow victory that's not really worth shouting about.

No game next week, at blackshots the week after ok (21st).

Sunday's game build up...

Tensions are running high as Oaks Athletic look to secure their first win of the season this Sunday against Sockett's Heath. With Milesy's inspired tactical changes implemented, the starting line up could be something like this:

  1. Parker (GK)
  2. Dolly Gray (RB)
  3. Eye-Ball (LB)
  4. Deano (CB)
  5. (c)Homebase (CB)
  6. Robo-Rob (CM)
  7. O'Kerin (RW)
  8. Jackooooooooo (LW)
  9. Curns (CM)
  10. Daniel Allen (ST)
  11. Gollum (ST)

(Of course this is just a possible team, and I haven't spoken to Milesy about this at all!)

Congratulations to Robo-Rob for becoming a Granddad just before Christmas !!!! -There's a nick-name there somewhere too.....

Let's get it sorted this year lads, COME ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
