Nice work Merce, you got the facts in. All I would like to add...
"The lads that need a haircut lets get them done, we looked like the fucking Monkey's out their today"

Hunty - 8 - Another top draw performance. Made the one on one save that nobody remembers and dealt with the dodge back passes really well.
Nico - 8 - Class. Nothing got past him and played the ball well.
Per - 9 - I just love the way he throws himself at ball or man to stop us conceding. Won everything.
Greenday - 7 - Wasn't well, started off alright just ran out of puff. Great shot in 1st 1/2.
Neil - 7 - Nearly an eight. Did really well for 90 minutes against winger and a full back at times.
Mercer - 7 - Played well and did us all proud, playing well out of position.
Hopes - 8 - Hero of the week. Really gave his all for the cause and won us the game. 2 in 2, watch out Woz and Sean.
Lizzy - 8 - Played well skipping past players and looking for passes. Was our main outlet and threat in the 1st half. Links up well just need more movement/support.
Sean - 7 - Also nearly an eight but playing up front you are judged on your goals. Some nice passing, turning and general play just lacking that sure touch of a finish.
Wozzer - 7 - Like Sean, played some good stuff, did well running at players and got involved in some rough stuff which is always good to see. The form comes back when the confidence does.

Man of the Match - Per - Class for 90 minutes

Subs
Carey - Looked a little lost at times but over 12 months out will do that to you. We all saw the glimmers of the old Carey so keep going.
Smudge - Played well, saw a lot of the ball and made Talbot work down their right. Looks more like a striker than a winger.

Well done, mission accomplished and 3 points nearer.
Not the prettiest and we rode our luck a couple of times. However we still won and managed to oil the pistons after the xmas lay off so I say nice work.
Next week will be much better.

Fiss

I agree with fiss... If Merce is being honest as well I think the only reason he gave me a 6.5 is because I kept yelling at him for his constant poor control, bad passing, bad decision making, lack of pace etc through-out the 90minutes. Carey got his cause he's stolen Merce's position, simple. Besides that pretty accurate reports, can't be arsed singling players out cause I think it's a team game.... On the whole not bad for 6 weeks off, 6.5 on 10.

Im not going to do the comments and ratings thing anymore...

For the first game back i didn't expect anything glam, however i did expect effort and that was not wanting, forwards where a little rusty but its going to happen, we no they can bag goals for fun. It wasn't going to be easy after 6 weeks but it was done, we put it to bed, 3 points in the bag, and i also though there was a great togetherness of the team...

Lets try and just keep our shape thoughout the game, at times the midfield where disjointed, but hey we will be back to our best, Well done fella's...

I think constructive feedback will benefit the team... thats why im not doing ratings... all i see it do is cause bad feeling - i think where all old enough to know when we have had a good, poor or average game, if people are havin a poor or average game, during the game support them, after all where quick to give out the applause! encourage them! from the side lines too! after all were seeing the game differently too. but listen!!!

No body benefits from negative comments and there is a fine line between banter and havin a dig!

I may be hydrolics at footy but i feel i know the game, what harms it, and what benefits it... i mean fuck me even cameltoe harrop knows the basics!

One last thing i will give MOM though....

I will give this week to Hopsey - Per was close but i dont think he played out of his skin i think thats Pers game just good all the time...

So yes Hopsey supprized as i am it go's to you but only cos i want your babies! and a few quid to take them to the baths!

What can i say fellas a new year same result a win !!!!
Thats all it was really not much quality but 6 weeks without a game dont help much. Sometimes games are won with determination and thats what we had in abundance sometimes thats better than quality. As for the squad its looking strong for next year id say especially when were in div 1 cos every game is a hard 1 as we will all see shortly no doubt. But what i will say is noticed a few digs and comments around about team selections wud any of you guys like the gaffers job and pick a stronger team i no i wouldnt so lets all stick together and encorage each other.

Just to throw my comments in....

I think we're being a little harsh on ourselves. Talbot were no mugs n lets face it, if we'd have struck early - like we were doing early in the season, I think we'd have gone on to win comfortably. I think on the bigger pitches we need to be more compact; from the side it looked as though there were no short passes on and we were being forced in to playing 20+ yard balls all the time.

If we'd put as much effort into moving into a position to receive the ball and keep it moving instead of pushing on we'd have more joy. Fiss and Ben suffered a little bit casue they were being forced down the centre or into long balls. Anyway cleansheet and 3 points was the order of the day and we got it.

Vant Huntlear of Anchorsholme - not too many saves to make but attacked the corners well and came of his line well - 8
Nico - Solid as per, adjusted to centre half easily and kept the talking going across the back - 7
Neil - Did as required gave the right winger nothing and showed composure - 7
Big Per - my MOM. Won everything and dominated the aerial battles - 8
Greenday - Soldiered on despite the man-flu and kept it tight unlucky to only hit the post from 20 yards - 7
Merce - Some good attacking play in the first half and played well at right back - 7
Thin Lizzy - Strong running down the right and looked dangerous cutting inside (sorry Per!!) - 7
Fiss - Industrious performance didn't have many outlets but gave nothing away in the middle - 7
Hopesy - Same as Fiss, solid across the middle struggled with outlets, mint goal though - 7
Sean - Despite sporting a buffont had a lively game, by his own admission could have bagged a couple but can't fault the work rate - 7
Wazzle - As with sean, could've bagged a couple but on the plus side showed aggression in the air in the box and battled for the ball - 7
Carey - Getting that ftness back - different game from 5 a side, showed some nice touches just needs more mins - 6
Snudge - Showed some good touches and put some good balls in the box - 6

Well boys it wasnt pretty but you got the 3 points thats what counts you are not going to destroy teams everyweek some you will have to dig in and pull your socks up and fight for the win cause that is what they are doing, they raise there game to play us. You seem to forget 2 years ago we wanted to beat the better sides in the division, we now are that better side, we are the ones they want to knock of so, remember to dig deep and be there for each other.
We must Stop all this silly bickering about ratings this is ment to be for banter and team messages.

Glad to see that you all read my message Esp Dez. about being patient and sticking together and supporting me for the bigger goal. I said training would be taken into account not that it would give you the right to play so keep your little digs to yourself cause to be honest im getting fucked of with it.

I do this for enjoyment not to have sly digs made about me if you want me to be honest i will, i picked what i thought was the best team end of if you dont like then go,

ALL OF YOU BE APART OF A TEAM OR GO AND STOP DISRUPTING THE TEAM.

Well rant over thought Per and hopesy was close for man of the match but will Give it to per for a constant solid display. I will say this we need to listen more, support more, better service to the forwards, instead of waiting for them to do some magic, and forwards you need to take your chances.

Last thing guys BE A TEAM it will win you the league!!!
