D & B Builders 20/04/2008

V's D&B Builders
Venue – The Fortress

Odd things happen in three's. Firstly our 1st clean sheet of the campaign, secondly Neil scored his goal and, they really do happen in 3's, Wozzer rose above a defender and won a header!!

I really did not think I would ever be writing these words in one match report, with Andy and Steve Mac missing I did not expect it to be today's. What next? The mind boggles.

Today's side, a side that is becoming very familiar, lined up 4-4-2. Ross in nets, Defence (right to left as always) Toby Colson, Daz Clarke, Scholesy and Neil Harropp. Midfield – Merce, George, Fiss and Dance Mat. Strikers – Wozzer and Sean.

D&B looked like the same side that gave us a tough 2-1 win early on in the season, same faces – unforgiving dentists and skin colour an epicentre of a nuclear explosion white. We knew their game plan from last time. Hump it long then tackle hard, a familiar shout among most 3a tacticians. Ready to lock horns, toss up won and playing with a slight breeze behind us. In fairness D&B had most of the ball for a good 10 to 15 minutes but rarely turned possession in to something more worth while.

After that brief spell we started to turn the screw. Possession was becoming more and more frequent and our play down the flanks was beginning to undo the D&B back line. The first two goals came to us through sheer determination and true Excelsior grit. The first was something quite special. Dance Mat picked the ball up just a short way inside the D&B half, on his territorial left flank he jinked past 2 or 3 players, each one taking a size 7-10 shoe sized chunk out of him on his way past.

Just the centre half left to rinse, he took a chunk as well, then the finish was blasted in to the corner for 1-0.

The second was team Clarkey really. He did everything but tap the ball in, Wozzer did that bit for him. A loose ball popped out of the D&B box to their striker, Clarkey read it like an open book, dispossessed him and delivered a through ball that just needed the one more touch to be in the back of the net. 2-0.

Half time. A relatively easy half, we let the ball do the hard work. Any half chances D&B had were soon snuffed out by one or more members of our back line. We got rehydrated and off we went to finish the job. It seemed to get easier as the game went on. We got more and more of the space, which brought us more of the ball. This all stemmed from our back line. With the back four job stitched up we were allowed to play further up the pitch and throw on the pressure. We had D&B at the point of submission.

We scored again. The constant pressure won us a corner which was taken by Merce. Usual thing, right footer bending out to in. This one went out to in the back of the net. A freak but deserved goal. 3-0 up and we scored again. Sean Lonsdale with his 28th of the season. A nice through ball allowed Sean freedom in the D&B box, the keeper committed himself and Sean finished well to give us out forth.

With the game almost over and the opposition begging for full time we got another. Some nice work down the left flank carved open a nice gap in the D&B back line. Fiss ran on and was brought down for a clear penalty. A noble Scholes elected Neil as pen taker as a one off gesture. Just so he'd get his goal and stop abandoning his post during the game or was it because Scholes had just shouted, at the top of his voice 'I am sick of
getting it up the arse' that he didn't really fancy another shot in the lime light.

Anyway, Neil did not disappoint. A well taken penalty in off the post. His first of the season, against a keeper decked out in Liverpool replica, a dream for any Blue Nose. Final Score 5-0

Man of the Match – Scholes. Played well and commanded the back line really well. Scholesy was the eyes in the back of my head on Sunday, it was very reassuring. Clarkey was up there with Danny, Neil and Mercer. It was tough to pick one man out of 11 that played so well.

Moment of the Match - A couple to choose from. Mercer shoulder charging their left back in to the mud without even feeling him as if he had an RSJ for shoulders was pretty funny. However there can only be one moment of the match and the one that takes it was Scholes shouting at the ref. A clear infringement on Scholes and the ref, to Scholesy's disappointment, didn't give a thing. A frustrated Scholes picked himself up and shouted at the Referee “I 'am sick of getting up the arse” – I bet you are pal!!

3 left lads and it's looking good. We must be doing something right at least because we are getting results. I know there are frustrated players amongst the side; frustration comes from hunger so I am glad to know people get frustrated/hungry from time to time. As long as we all remember that personal goals or achievements can never stand in the way of a team victory. See you Weds.

Fiss

PS – Why are we having so many posts saying well done, good season, blah, blah, blah. We've 3 more left to play lets save that lot for when we have finished.

Wo wo wo Mr Topham let's get

Wo wo wo Mr Topham let's get it right it was "I'm sick of getting nailed from behind" which you should probably agree with after your sore arsehole the other week.

Scholesy (not verified) | Tue, 22/04/2008 - 10:58

Which was it?

Scholes+Gaffer - It sounds better 'up the arse' I thought pal. Either way a comical moment.

Mercer - Flippin harsh on ratings again I see Merce?
You're a hard man to please.

Everyone - We've had our clean sheet now lets have double figures against Ansdell on Wednesday!!

Fiss

Fiss (not verified) | Tue, 22/04/2008 - 22:22

I dont think so

..if your referring to your mark Christopher it was because I thought you were quieter than normal thats all. If it was marks for leadership and bravery then 10. That better? Someone text me the score tomorrow and let me know who scored and if poss who played so i can update the site. Cheers.

Well said skipper, its not

Well said skipper, its not over yet, we have to stay focusd. Just a few thing s to point out sean scored the third goal and it was 3 -0 at half time but minor points.
Good performance boys some really good passing moves, n u can see the differance. Using the wingers giving them space to run cross, shoot brings us to our better game, everybody had a good game, so lets take 9 pts from our next 3 and finish up that league.

N I THINK IT WAS " I SICK OF GETTING NAILED FROM BEHIND"

Report

Good match report. Although I wasn't there I get the gist and can visualise the events.

Thought it was a bit harsh refering to Mercer as a 'freak' though!

Andy Mck (not verified) | Tue, 22/04/2008 - 12:27

too right pal!!!

Finally man!!!(am I sounding sad?? who cares!!), It's like waiting for the postie wi your giro waiting for these match reports man, such is the hunger, for your fair minded and unbias journalism!!I think we can blame young Andrew for the premature ejaculation buddy, with his hair stroking, ball tickling essay, which I clearly did participate in, and respond to, in my defence it was during a far too mellow hyllucagenic moment!!!, you know the SP pal.....
I take it all back, your all shit!!!,

Tried to avoid being drawn into the ratings game, but fuck it!!
Rossco p coltrain,7 (quiet day for ross due to the solid performance of the back 4, did what he had to do well)
Toby, 8 (first game for us in a good long while, only excelsior player who looked at the races for the first 15mins,Toby played at the same intensity for 90mins excellent bud)
Clarky, 8 (filling in at centre half for ("Andrew and Steve 'sorry lads, the christening of a child who I will probably never see again is more important than my team' Mcenzie");-), experience personified, the trademark 'over-me' apparently replaced by the cool back header,never looked in trouble, first class man!!)
Scholesy,8.5 (very little to seperate the back four today, Scholesy's talking and use of the ball just edges it for me, and therefore my MOM. quality pal)
Neil,8 (Becoming Mr.Consistency buddy, Energetic as always, well deserved goal, thought the goal from open play should've stood myself!! Offside Merce, not you man??
Merce, 8.25 (another great game for Merce, not far behind Scholesy for MOM, always looked dangerous and apparently much stronger than you look??)
Fiss, 8 (Strong, commanding and disiplined as ever, could be MOM every week, if more of the ball came through him!!, In fairness it is all about the team, and it seems to be working), still like to see us pass it more!!
Dance Mat, 8.25 (Great goal, great game,hitting a bit of form the last few weeks, another one not far behind scholesy(looks like a bit of a gang bang linin up here my ginger friend!!)
Wozza, 7.75 (Started well enough, but trying too hard let frustration get the better of you pal)
Seano, 8 (Started very well, but Woz's frustration, started to rub off, in fairness the game completely died away towards the end)
Ali, 8 (contributed well to play when introduced and never put a foot wrong, excellent pal)
Simon, 7 ( showed good energy, just needs to relax a bit)
Very little to separate anyone for me on Sunday chaps, hence the fairly high ratings throughout, good solid team performance, Roll on Wednesday!!, Fiss is dead right thought boy's let's save the bummin' for the night out, Flamingo's dressed as actual Flamingo's is Seano's very good shout,(anybody interested, speak to my missus Sara, who will supply you with a 'make your own costume template' highly sought after as my daugter won first prize on National book day, dressed as huge Gemima Puddleduck, she was subsequently awarded, by the Mayor no less!! a well deserved 20 pound WHSmiths book token, for her trouble!!, Alternatively Sara will personally tailor the costume for you for a very reasonable 147.00 each plus materials!!
Take it Easy boy's see ye wednesday!!

Ratings

A big thank you to those who waited for the match report to be posted until banging in your ratings. Those who didn't - shame on you.

Here we go.

Ross - 7 - Little to do, some nice takes and good kicking
Toby - 8 - Great game, contributed really well
Scholes - 9 - Best game of the season for me
Clarkson - 8 - Made light work of making us look good
Neil - 8 - Top performance. Over lapped all morning and caused them problems. Defensively sound
Merce - 8 - Gave their full back a torrid 90 minutes, great game.
George - 8 - Did his job. Did the messy ugly stuff, that goes unnoticed by the glory boys, really well.
Dance - 8 - I told you he had it in him. If he didn't win the ball he kicked them. Perfect for me.
Wozzer - 7 - Played well. Starting to show that greedy side too much.
Sean - 7 - Didn't see much of the ball. Played well. The goals will come my friend, just let it happen.

Ali Kat - 7 - Not much time to do anything. When did played the easy stuff. This time next season.....
Simon - 6 - Just that header really. It looked easier to score than miss?

See you tomorrow
Fiss

Fiss (not verified) | Tue, 22/04/2008 - 15:37

Ratings game

Another good solid performance. I did think they were one of the poorest teams this year though. Fuck all up top.

Ross - 8 - Did everything he could well, clean sheet
Toby - 8 - Superb first game back, felt comfortable playing in front of him which doesn tget said about Toby very often!
Scholes - 8.5 - Faultless but not really tested
Clarkson - 8.5 - Composed as ever, again not overly exerted.
Neil - 8 - Full of running as ever, unlucky with the disallowed goal, never offside!!
Fiss - 7.5 - Solid as ever, not the most influential game he's played but thats because we are used to high standards.
George - 8 - Won the headers and broke up play well, just what was needed.
Dance - 8 - His best game for me, good goal, keep it up!!
Wozzer - 7 - Always a threat, bt too greedy at times.
Sean - 7.5 - Again not his most effective, but great running as usual.

Ali Kat - 7 - Didn't see much of the ball
Simon - 6 - Can only remember the header from him, enough said.

Good luck on Weds boys, got Wi-Fi access in hotel so will keep approving your comments and checking for updates.

Merce the Freak.

Steve Mercer | Tue, 22/04/2008 - 17:01

Yeah I agree with everyone

Yeah I agree with everyone Saturday wasn't exactly a hard game but in those games you can often drop down and play to your opponents level which we didn't end up doing and obviously it paid off.

Ross - 7 didn't have to do anything just some kicking practice for Mr Parker.
Toby - 7.5 played extremely well think that could be his position after only seeing if play in midfield this season.
Neil - 8 getting more and more confidence in Neil now looking to give him the ball more often.
Daz - 8.5 superb performance by my centre half partner made my job very easy today.
Merc - 8 didn't have to get out of second gear as he already seems to have the left back beaten before he even got on the pitch.
Danny - 8 superb performance from Dan, took his goal well would like to see him finish a game though cause still think he has more to give.
Fiss - 8 captains performance enough said. Dominant and never looses the ball along with George they are usually most peoples outlets.
George - 8 again superb performance in the centre of the park think it's the best midfield partnership we've got as himself and Fiss compliment each other.
Sean - 7.5 did what he had to do and got another goal.
Wozz - 7 Little greedy but I don't know what it's like to be within grasp of the top scorer award?
Ali - 7 didn't have much to do but when he got the ball looked accomplished.
Si - 6 erm.............header.

By the way Neil to your question no you can't have the next penalty I'm getting withdrawal symptoms from giving them all away. Got to give the next one to Ross as well not impressed. Think next season I might want to be the Ginger Ledley King Centre Half/Centre Midfield what you reckon????
See you all tomorrow lads let's rip into Ansdell form the start.

Scholesy (not verified) | Tue, 22/04/2008 - 18:09

Ross's pen/opportunity for a goal

I have to say pal, maybe you should rethink that decision?? I agree with oor Andrew, It would be much funnier, if we don't!!!

Steve Mercer | Wed, 23/04/2008 - 00:15

Simon's Score.

There is no doubt it was a poor header pal, but NO SCORE on the rating, does seem a bit harsh? Nothing like instilling a bit of confidence in a player eh???

George (not verified) | Wed, 23/04/2008 - 09:48

Moment of the match

The shoulder charge was never a free kick (were we playing basketball? I dont think so), the moment of the match for me though was near the end when we got a free kick on the edge of the box. Wozza stepped up to take it, only to be pushed away by Fiss. Woz protested to which Fiss replied pointing at his beloved armband "when you've got one of these you can take the freekicks". Quality!

Newsflash

Interview with Manager taken from Auto Weld club website.
Thought you Excelsior lot might want to read this.

"He was then Asked, should Autoweld go up, will he be looking to strengthen the squad?

"I feel that the squad needs to be strengthened certainly. We have players that are not committed as others and to be honest I don't have room to allow for that. We are in talks with one player from another Club who is their Captain about a move next year. I have seen him play and he would fit into the side perfectly"

- who could he mean?

autoweld (not verified) | Wed, 23/04/2008 - 09:23

I don't know if you are

I don't know if you are suggesting it or not, but I am sure anyone in our division and above would want our captain leading their team out.

And the other thing I am sure about is that he isn't going anywhere!

Carey | Wed, 23/04/2008 - 10:39

sounds to me like someone is

sounds to me like someone is getting a bit twitchy and whose only hope is to upset the proverbial applecart.

however, the captain he is talking bout could be willem gallas as he is about to be offloaded by arsenal and he would indeed fit right in at autoweld cos is also a cock!

jonno (not verified) | Wed, 23/04/2008 - 11:37

Controvertial

Controvertial pal, but no biters from this direction!!

George.. (not verified) | Wed, 23/04/2008 - 10:53

apart from Shcoles, hook

apart from Shcoles, hook line and sinker!!

Andy Mck (not verified) | Thu, 24/04/2008 - 08:14

I'm stitching my sides back up...

...ever thought of doing stand-up?!!! Please try harder.

Steve Mercer | Wed, 23/04/2008 - 22:26

Autoweld you must be having

Autoweld you must be having a laugh there is not a sniff that our captain is gonna sign for you lot for quite a few reasons.
1. Because it's a treck and a half to play at your ground every week.
2. Because the team spirit and banter is ten times better then yours just look how you were arguing with each other on the pitch, even if your winning that is terrible.
3. Because it would be too easy for him to get in.
4. Because why sign for a team that is going to finish lower then your own.
5. BECAUSE YOU ARE TOSS.

Come down and watch a decent side finish out there season.
