Thanks Wozza. It certainly is looking that way :D NOVEMBER BEDFORD 3-1 Fisher Booth continues his October form with two more goals. Morgan scores the third. Bad news though as Booth is carted off the field with a torn calf muscle. 3-4 months on the sidelines. Sutton Utd 2-1 BEDFORD ----- FA Cup 1st Round A weakened Bedford side were shocked by non-league Sutton Utd... the weakened side became much weaker, with midfielder Craig Young sent off in the 10th minute. Beresford scoring for the BSP leaders. Kettering 0-2 BEDFORD After the cup shock, Bedford got back to winning ways with Rayner marking his return with a goal. Adams seals the win with a late strike. BEDFORD 2-0 Gateshead McPherson and McCallum gift Bedford another 100% league win record for November. A routine win. Manager of the month again... 62% win record in my stint at Bedford. DECEMBER Cambridge 1-1 BEDFORD Bedford's winning streak is stopped as McPherson keeps getting tallying them up, bagging another goal. Unbeaten in the league in nine now. BEDFORD 2-1 Ebbsfleet Bedford return to winning ways with Rayner and McPherson on the scoresheet BEDFORD 2-0 Nuneaton ----- FA Trophy 1st Round After crashing out the FA Cup, I wanted to have a good run in this cup at least so fielded a strong team. Rayner was targeted from the start and was taken off at half time to prevent a major injury happening. Nuneaton turned their attention to Morgan who was stretchered off in the second half. Goals from Leigh Jones and McPherson gave us the win. BEDFORD 2-1 Weymouth ----- Setanta Shield 4th Round Rayner scores twice for Bedford to send them into the 5th Round. BEDFORD 3-2 Wrexham McCallum, McPherson and Rayner net the goals in the Boxing Day match to send Bedford 5pts clear. BEDFORD 0-0 Kings Lynn The -9 conditions took a toll on the quality of play as the game bored into a 0-0 draw, with Leigh Jones missing from the penalty spot. JANUARY Hednesford 2-4 BEDFORD It seems a few players had a bit too many drinks for the New Years Day clash. The Hednesford defence obviously did too as Bedford ran riot over them. Rayner, Adams, Beresford and Roberts score the goals. Nuneaton 0-2 BEDFORD Beresford has really grown this season and has stolen Hartley's place in the team on the right wing. His 4th goal of the season set Bedford on their way. Holmes grabbed the 2nd goal in a never threatened win. Farsley 0-7 BEDFORD ----- FA Trophy 2nd Round Bedford run riot in the cup as McPherson (4), Rayner (2) and sub Ricketts (his first app all season) all score in a demolition of Farsley. The third round will be the furthest Bedford have ever got in the FA Trophy. Stevenage 1-1 BEDFORD Holmes went from hero to zero as he scored, but then saw a second yellow card and was sent off. Stevenage equalised late on to deny Bedford all 3 points. BEDFORD 3-2 Worcester McPherson notched his 20th and 21st goals of the campaign as Bedford make it another victory. Rayner seals the win with the third goal. Bedford end January 11 points clear at the top and unbeaten in 16 league games. I also claim manager of the month... surely this is our year to give Bedford their first title (playoff final doesnt count of course) in their 34 year history. |
