Chasetown FC Latest News

From a Hednesford Town forum, what I would describe as a quality posting (unlike the arsing about that I mostly get up to)...

Last Night's Game

Very enjoyable and entertaining evening at Chasetown. Stareted well with a nice hot chocolate and the lady who took my money thanked me for my custom - little things like that do make the difference.

As far as the game was concerned we played all of the football - slick, fast passing on the deck. Chasetown's tactic was to knock the ball wide to Branch who then stuck in a load of quality crosses to the group of big blokes waiting in the box. Not pretty, but very effective and I can see why Chasetown score so many goals and bully teams into submission.

Thought we were excellent going forwards - Clements, Osborne and Robinson were outstanding and at times we were able to showboat - the Chasetown right back had a very tough night.

We had to be brave at the back under the relentless high ball that Chasetown seemed intent on getting into the box at every opportunity - Craney did well under immense pressure.

All in all it's nice to hammer one of your local rivals on their own patch - we were very worthy winners. We now need to carry this on to Tiverton which should be a relatively straight forward game, but we have shown ourselves to be bery inconsistent this year so we need to forget the hype and continue to work hard if we are to get a good result.

On a final note, last night made me realise that the case for a Midlands League is even stronger - I'd rather play fixtures like that than against the likes of Swindon Supermarine in front of barely 300 souls. Last night was a cracking atmosphere, the kind you only get when local sides lock horns and it makes perfect sense from all angles - financial, footballing and generating local interest. It might be some years before the penny drops, but it can't come soon enough for me. the pyramid is fine for those with big money and aspiration, but for me nights like last night are what the game should be about

Harsh!

The ref WAS a bit cr*p and that's not just because we lost. Some defensive errors and Pricey wearing his gloves on the wrong hands ( ) is why we lost. Should only have been 4-2 though.
