Fabulous another win at home, with some goals and lots of great optimism, but some dreadful defending and poor managerial decisions in the mix, but Alfie fired in a great solo goal for his hatrick! Brilliant! Onward and upwards, to 18th spot no less, and if we can get a valuable away win at Dagenham on Tuesday our season will begin to flourish nicely i think.
However, the poor decisions i refer too were the substitutions. Poor poor & poor. I got the Sekajje for Lewis, and really like the energy and strength Ibran brings to the team, but Huggins came on for Djemal who played alright, and by which time we were 3-0 up i think but for me there were too many changes, and the final straw Kebamba for new debut chap Jonah Ayunga who was brilliant was disappointing. Those players went off and we looked out of it, and despite taking a 4-0 lead started to look clueless upfront and vulnerable at the back. It took Huggins a good 10 minutes to touch the ball, and then low and behold we were only 4-2 up. Maidstone had all they could give and Rutherford's 3rd kind of finished them off. I would have brought Ibra on for Lewis and left the rest. Williams looked to be struggling but was unable to come off because our team had made in my view needless unecessary changes.
Kebamba looks lightweight, he runs and does little, he can't tackle, he can't pass, he struggles to get the ball, and then gets pushed off it too easily. He's a squad player i wouldn't even use unless we had some injuries of course. Sadly Pavey has departed, shame Kebamba couldn't go with him. I am probably being harsh but he offered nothing, and its documented that he wants to use his time at Westleigh Park to get a move back into the football league. LOL. Rutherford looks a far more confident, allround better footballer and hasn't had the opportunities Kebamba has had. Rant over, 3 well earned points and brilliant overall.
Welcome to WLP Djemal & Ayunga - great debuts chaps. Fingers crossed for 3 points tuesday night.
