‘winning (or losing) the first game doesn’t define the season.’
My local Counties side lost their first home match 4-2 last Saturday due to some slack defending, particularly the new centre back who was tree like. Opposition centre forward was vertically challenged with a low centre of gravity and skinned him twice in the second half. I’d been chatting to his dad before half time saying goodbye as I headed for the obligatory steak pasty. He said he usually plays on the wing but the first choice striker was injured. Managed to whip past his dad on the way out to avoid his smug mush. Anyway, Tuesday night resulted in an unexpected away win, so yes, case in point Brian. The tree has vanished from the squad it seems. Probably for the best.
