[Perton Pitman]

Very unhappy to see Knoxy on the bench. I don't know what PS is up to but we need to win today and in order to win you need goals. We seem to be going there with the intention of keeping it very tight - Hawthorne has been really ineffectual, but continues to get picked
The bloke will be getting really brassed off now

[lamby]

Well if rumours are true and other teams are putting 7 days in for him PS has is not giving him much reason to stay.

[Dobba]

Knoxy on the bench? Bloody hell.

[Bod]

yeah but he hasn't looked like doing much of late :(

[Perton Pitman]

As you should know, forwards are only effective with good service. Michael Owen being a prime example. Mind you, you were never an Andy Bell fan, but now that he is playing for a side that will create openings he is showing that he is a true goalscorer - as is Knox

didn't say i wasn't a fan of Knox,but your probably right he doesn't get any service and as for Andy Bell enough said :)

[Keith H]

Half Time - North Ferriby United 0-0 Hednesford

Hednesford in control against a very robust NFU side. Ward headed a cross a foot wide of the post, and a run from Mario Pedro lead to him chipping the ball over the bar, but still goalless.

PS - I have taken over from my Dad for the 2nd half in recieving updates from Fozzie due to the unexpected events noted above.

[John P]

Well done Bod!

[Bob C]

Well done Andrew thank you :)

[John P]

Excellent. Shows the commitment from the H family, that in time of personal trial they still think of us.
They should get a KnightHOOD for services to the Hednesford faithful.

[Pitman Trev]

Just got in from work, thanks for the updates

[Andrew H]

North Ferriby United 1-0 Hednesford

Continued early 2nd half pressure from the home team has resulted in a goal.

[Andrew H]

North Ferriby No.4 takes down Heath in the box and a penalty is awarded. Ross Dyer steps up to take the spot kick and it is saved by the NFU keeper and cleared for a corner. Still....

North Ferriby 1-0 Hednesford

[Bod]

speechless....

[Perton Pitman]

Time to get Knox on and try to score a goal

[Perton Pitman]

Why are we exposing an 18 yr old to a high pressure situation? Are we in such a state that we are having to rely on kids?

[Andrew H]

Apparently, NFU keeper was useless in 1st half and could barely catch a ball. 2nd half he's saved a penalty and 2 certain goals....

[Bob C]

A Sickener... I just don't know whay to think :tape:

[Bod]

A Sickener... I just don't know whay to think :tape:

i know what i'm thinking,but i'll keep it in my head :o

[Dobba]

Good decision

[Pitman Trev]

Hi Bod

Will PS be in-charge on Monday

[Bod]

Hi Bod

Will PS be in-charge on Monday

stand behind me satan :D

[cliff edge]

Disappointed that we have no recognised penalty taker.A lot to ask of young Ross.

[Perton Pitman]

I think he may be on the bench Cliff

good old toe bunt straight down the middle works nearly everytime !

[Pitman Trev]

Perton "Time to get Knox on and try to score a goal"

Tooooooo Lateeeee

[cliff edge]

PP....I think we should have more than one option to cover for times like these.

[Andrew H]

North Ferriby 1-0 Hednesford

Chris Adam on Mario Pedro

Not created much in chances since the goal, their keeper has been upto anything that has come his way. Couple of bookings for NFU, they seem to be getting a bit overexcited.

clutching at straws come to think of it !

"Disappointed that we have no recognised penalty taker.A lot to ask of young Ross."


Should he really be playing football if its a lot to ask for him to score a penalty against a team bottom of the league? Isn't this his third full season?

[Del]

Hi All

Sorry I'm late....local beer festival and you know how it is!!

:cheers:

[Perton Pitman]

A fair comment Mark, but we do seem to be asking boys to do the work of men. Ross is still learning and probably hasn't been in the situation before, i.e. we are on the slide and playing a critical game with a lot riding on it.

[Bod]

i'll tell you one thing thats clear to me ....the last few rungs on the bottom of the non-league ladder

[Andrew H]

82 mins - Peter Knox on for Gordon Simms

Gilmartin made point blank save. Gone to 3 at the back and its now....

North Ferriby 2-0 Hednesford

[John P]

Yes, PP, I agree, but the men are sitting on the bench....

[Del]

........ sod this, going back to the beer festival, only another 147 to try!

[Dobba]

Cheers for the updates, bye all.

[Bod]

a penny for my thoughts..... :D

[cliff edge]

Because of our dismal form of late,I would have thought that a more experienced player could take them.Not all players are good penalty takers and Ross doesn't even take free kicks that regularly.

[Perton Pitman]

That says it all - if for nothing else, PS should be lambasted for leaving it so late to bring on a forward. His judgement is strange to say the least, particularly given the tactics against Stratford last week. The question is do the club have confidence in his judgement?

Masha does the free-kicks, err...on 2nd thoughts...:doh:

[John P]

According to the Mercury, the Board have given him their full backing.

[Andrew H]

North Ferriby 2-0 Hednesford

About 3-4 mins left, Knox gone close twice, Dyer appears to have injured his hamstring again.

it wouldn't have nothing to do with his capabilties as a manager would it..
before i get blasted just take a look at the league record since xmas....it says it all

[Perton Pitman]

What, both of them??:D

[Bob C]

He's a good talker, but anything else? it must be questioned

[Markeg]

He's got enough experience in games like this. We were in a promotion battle last year and a relegation battle the year before that. I can't see how its any different now. He will play regardless of his form which gives him no incentive to improve. Please tell me if I'm wide of the mark but I thats my opinion.

[Andrew H]

Full Time -North Ferriby 2-0 Hednesford

[Bod]

he should do the the right thing and .....

[Del]

tata all

[cliff edge]

What is going on?As each game goes by we are all feeling worse and worse.Is there any light at the end of the tunnel.

[Bob C]

extremely disappointing... thank you for the updates. Keith, Andrew, Bod amd Fozzie... cya all soon byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :mad::mad:

[Bod]

the thing is this will have a knock on effect for the club socially....

[Perton Pitman]

Thanks for the updates.
Don't know where we go from here. I fear we are on a terminal decline and something drastic needs to change.
We have too many mediocre players, those that are capable (and there are 3 or 4) are being dragged down by the others. We have made one or two good signings, but we have signed a couple of turkeys too. The squad is not capable of competing at this level

See you all Monday

[Bod]

any way who am i to question authority ?....see ya monday :D

[MikeM]

See Mario gets subbed when things go wrong. No change there, then. Thank heavens for the points we got when we were trying to play attacking football rather than 4-5-1, or we'd be in te relegation places.

[darrenw]

Just came on here to get the result and read through all the posts. Thanks for these updates as even if I've not been on here in real time I like to read them when I can, so thanks Andrew/Keith and the fozz.

[harv]

where do we go from here?
