Here is the Table As Of October 1st
"We started the month in third and wanted to end it top, that was our monthly objective." Gook readjusts in his chair as he begins on his monthly interview for the Blue Square Preview shown on Sky Sports.
"The month begin brilliantly as i said last time we spoke after we beat the then top of the table Hucknall. Our next match was to be a tough one as we battled against a tough Harrogate side at New Bucks Head. The match began horribly and we allowed them to hit us on the counter attack and as young Pots rolls the ball back to Brocky and he totally fluffed the kick to allow Holland to score and put the Away side ahead after just 8 minutes. We hit back immediately which show great drive and commitment. It came from a well worked free kick and Jimmy Turner drilled in a cross for Birchy to hit into the back of the net after just 12 minutes. The game died down for a little while before we got awarded a penalty which my opponents management team disagreed strongly against but i wasn't gonna complain! Asa scored it just to rub in salt into the wounds but Hey thats football! The game died once again but we battled hard for our 2-1 victory!"
"We then had our second home game in a row as we faced Burscough. The first half was a gritty performance and was a battle especially against their midfield. However, in the second half we dominated from start to finish, we won a corner in the first minute of the second half. Jaggers took it and put in a beauty of a cross for Teesdale to nod in with a thunderous header. We doubled our lead 2 minutes later as Palmer found himself with the ball at his feet from six yards out with a tight angle. He still managed to bang it in the net though in the 50th Minute. We played out the rest of the match just hoping that the game had been won. Then in the 90th minute we got a third, Palmer got it again but i didnt see this one. I was arguing about why the fourth official was signalling that there were 4 minutes of added on time!! Anyway it turned out to be a great 3-0 victory."
"Next we faced a low Workington side and what the media predicted as an easy win for us, we struggled. They took the lead through a dodgy decision by the linesman as he was blatantly offside. Anyway the bloke went through and slotted his side ahead much to the delight of the home fans. The half-time whistle came and i changed the team round slightly as we went for the win. We totally dominated but it just wasnt our day and after we hit the post and bar i just could tell nothing was going right. As we went all out attack Workington hit us on the counter attack and ended the game by scoring a second in the 90th minute."
"We kept our heads high as we went into our next match against Vauxhall. The game turned out to be an enjoyable game but i was cursing when in the 25th minute we gave away a penalty which i personally didnt agree with! Luckily for us Rooney, blazed the ball over the bar from just those 12 yards. Just before half time Pissy got a fantastic goal for us and boy did it fly in! He hit it on the volley and it went like a rocket between the sticks! In The second half we played great football and one move produced the result we were so desperately searching for, a GOAL! a great through ball by Jaggers made Moorey through one on one and he took his chance with full conviction! Once again the game died of as we came out winners 2-0!"
"Next was our Big game of the Month! The FA CUP first qualification round! we had a tricky tie against the strong Tamworth team who are 5th in our league! Just before half time, slack defending allowed Tamworth to take the lead after Stephenson nodded in from 1 yard. After the break, Jaggers again provided a great through ball for Birchy to log their keeper and take us level in the important tie. Once again, awful defending cost us as Tamworth played a long ball over the heads of our defence to allow Thorpe have a free shot on Goal. However, Brocky made a world class save which fell to the feet of Stephenson again to tap in. We threw everything and the kitchen sink at them but nothing happened. That was it, our dream of the FA Cup third round tie at one of the big 4 dashed."
"Lets Hope for a better October"
