Inver Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Ouchy...Andy and Glendale started the season on Saturday....off a flying start...NOT....beat 6-2...! Quote
Sedge Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 He's got something to work on there, but it's still early enough to fix any problems. Your goalscoring seems promising. We completed our friendlies last week, making it 6 wins from 7. Our first game is at home to last season's runners-up on Saturday. We start as title favourites - yikes! Quote
Inver Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Mid week fixture.....4-4...bit of a better result...Andy missed a pen though...stupid goalie dived the right way...! Quote
Sedge Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Six goals in two games - nice! Some more work needed in defence though. We had a similar issue a few years ago and tried throwing everything we had at our opponents' defence. We worked on the premise that we were going to concede many goals no matter what, so we might as well just attack. It helped us to beat the champions 6-4 in our first Premier Division season! Quote
Sedge Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 We had an excellent start to the season yesterday with a fantastic 4-0 win over last season's runners-up! Our despicable local rivals threw a spanner in the works though by losing 5-0 to the champions. We'll have to make do with 2nd place for the moment. Quote
Inver Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Great start Sedge...hope that is setting up for a good season. Glendale lost 3-0 Quote
Sedge Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 They need to keep plugging away Inver. Disappointing results bring more opportunities for experimentation and then they might suddenly discover a hidden strength. Quote
Inver Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 They have been taking on a few new players, so will have to wait to see if/how things improve (hopefully). Quote
Sedge Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 A good 2-0 home win over Newquay this evening. Its been a smooth ride to the top of the table so far and we start on the road to Wembley in the FA Cup on Saturday! I'm enjoying the good times while they last, but it will make our first defeat all the more painful when it happens. Quote
Inver Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 You are doing better than Glendale.....Andy scored his pen tonight...but another defeat...4-3.... Quote
Sedge Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 The FA Cup starts here! St Austell are at home to Bishop Sutton from the league above. I'm bracing myself for our first goal conceded this season! Quote
Sedge Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 And after a 5-0 victory,I'm starting to feel quietly confident about the season ahead. Quote
Inver Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Great win for you this weekend Sedge....go the Austell. Andy wasn't playing this weekend as it was the start of the Culter Colts season at U'17's. They had a great start to it too with a great gutsy win of 3-2. Have to say Andy was well chuffed with their performance and here is to many more over the season. Glendale did slightly better too...1-1 draw...hoorah! Quote
Sedge Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Glad to hear better tidings from Glendale! Technically we lost our 100% winning record as our opponents on Saturday couldn't raise a side. The official result was 0-0 but we were awarded the 3 points. I think that the game should have been re-arranged, but league rules say otherwise. We missed out on a useful increase in our goal-difference there. Still, we're back in action on Tuesday against the league leaders. Then we'll see what we're really made of! Quote
Inver Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Mixed results for us today. Andy was coaching the U'17's today in their 2nd game of the season and after going down 1-0, came back and had an great win of 4-1...setting up for a good run hopefully. Glendale however had a cup tie today....took it to 3-3 to in to extra time and then their goalie couldn't get a touch on a screamer in the last minute of extra time to lose 4-3. How has your week been Sedge. Quote
Sedge Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Last weekend didn't go as badly as I feared. We were in the FA Cup against a side 2 leagues higher and managed to equalise twice before they put us out with an 88th minute winner. We still have another chance to reach Wembley next weekend though as we play a lower division side in the FA Vase. Quote
Inver Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Sounds like you were unlucky there Sedge. Mixed results today.....Andy not playing for Glendale again today, with his U'17's. It was local derby again the other Culter team. 2-1 down at half time, and they came back to win 5-2.....definitely a game of 2 halves....first they were playing a lot in the in and hoofing it, but once they settled down into the second half and started passing it about the goals came. Their first 2 admittedly were penalties, but they all count....so Andy is well chuffed....3 wins in a row... Glendale on the other hand were 3-2 up at HT and then were binned 8 -3...! Quote
Sedge Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Sounds like Andy has more reason for optimism than he had last season! We managed a pleasing 8-1 win in the FA Vase. Technically that made two victories in one match as our opponents in the next round have been removed. Quote
Inver Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Looks like U'17's have a Scottish Cup tie against on of the other teams in their league. Haven't played them yet so will be interesting to see how they get on. I suspect Andy won't be playing again this weekend. 8-1....oh my....you could do with more scores like that this season Sedge. Quote
Sedge Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Just 2-1 last night, but I'll never complain about three points! Quote
Inver Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 On a winning streak at the moment aren't we....well done. Quote
Sedge Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 We've had more than our fair share of good fortune this season. I'll send you some! Quote
Inver Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Disappointing day today....two defeats. Well not totally unexpected by Glendale given their recent record.....went down 5-0 today...! U'17's had a Scottish Cup tie, but they just weren't the team of the last 3 games gone.....lost 6-1. But Andy says, put it behind you and just concentrate of getting back to the league games and getting more points. How was your Saturday today. Oh and the Scottish Women's footie team had a great 9-0 win over Faroe Islands tonight in their qualifying sections for World Cup. Lying second in their table with the next game v Sweden who are top, if they can do something against them in with a chance of topping the table with a better goal difference...fingers crossed. Quote
Sedge Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 So mixed feelings for you yesterday then Inver! We expertly avoided defeat by not having a game, but our main title rivals went down 2-0, so a good day was had! Quote
