Sir alot of us didn't come , its like York last year we are boycotting clubs who charge £6/8 more on the day than us.Swansea Harrier wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 10:45 pmI think the tone was set for this in the first minute. If Tom Owen Evans leaves Zak Brown's pull back, Shane Byrne has a tap into an empty net and we win by three, four or more.
It was just one of those days. A 0-0 battering if ever I saw one. Leamington weren't great at all and will no doubt end up lower midtable again at best. But they knew their limitations and stick to their plan admirably. Callum Hawkins in goal was man of the match by a country mile, and their two centre backs and Maye in front of them held them together.
If we play like that every week, we'll win eight games of every ten. So I'm not worried. Yes, we need a cutting edge and we're crying out for AMS or a similar presence. But we've clearly recruited very well. The two centre backs were superb today. Byrne and Lowe ran the show - Lowe shades man of the match for me for his range of positive forward-looking passes. Both were class. Yes, maybe a few unnecessary taps to each other, but there is such a strong base there.
When not playing in a heatwave, I hope perhaps we can raise the tempo of passing a little more. But the touches and close control especially in close quarters around the Leamington box were at times excellent.
All we were missing today was a goal. All in all, very encouraging. If someone could remove the invisible forcefields from the goals we shoot at before Tuesday night that would be lovely...
Leamington only managing 51 fans for a local derby?! Embarrassing... To see some of their fans try to criticise us on National League Facebook groups? Even more so.
York were surprised last season we took 170 2 seasons ago but 35 last season for exactly the same reason if you add on you both charge £5 for car parking it's £11/13 more.
The club were made aware and as was shown on the club website decided against booking two coaches.
We will do ok and I'd like to see you do as well on our budget and unlike many clubs not be boom and bust.
The decision to not come was ours and we got a good point like the 3 we got last season I hope you finish one place below us this season.
