A great through ball from our keeper, to Richard Vicelich, and my young winger slots it home...1-1 and we're back in it.
League Banter - The Matchday thread
Madness after half time away at Linwood.
1 - 1 at the break, then goals fo The Trains in the 46th and 47th minutes to make it 1 - 3.
Then one back to Linwood in the 51st minute, before Soren got his second of the game in the 53rd to restablish the two goal cushion... only to have Linwood score agin in the 56th minute.
Currently 3 - 4, which puts the Trains top of the table again, provisionally.
Wow that is a crazy set of goals going there, going to be hugely close. Good Luck.
...meanwhile in other YF news, Los Halcones are up 3 - 2....
BOOM! The Fafe equalise. GET IN!!!
And Halcones back to 3-3 at the same time. Great battles going on tonight.
GOAL!! Halcones back to the lead now 4-3, dropping Fafe to 7th.
Looking good to make it 4 wins from 4 with a 3-0 lead currently.
Goals galore for the fever tonight!
The Trains have scored more, now 6-3 for them, LHL are at 4-3, while we struggle at 1-1 ;)
Though my opposition are 6th, Trains & LHL facing 17th & 18th.
Morale is high at Homebush Road!
After winning 7 - 0 last game The Trains are up 3 - 6 away at Linwood.
Craig Jones came on as a sub in the 69th minute, and in the 75th latched onto one from 30 yards and almost ripped the net off the goal frame! Then Soren got his second hatrick in two games with a header to make it 3 - 6 in the 78th minute.
CHEW! CHEW!!!
5 - 3 Los Halcones! It's raining goals!
Happy enough with a 1-1 away win at The Grudge. Still in touch with 1st only 2pts ahead, going to be a tough battle all season at the top I think.
Winning 1-1, I have to admit that's pretty impressive.
2-0 loss for me drops me to 9th. It was against a team lower than me which isn't the best.
3-0 win for the main team and 0-1 loss for the 'b's sitting 4th on 10 points = with 2nd,3rd.
Pretty stoked with my 2-1 win agsinst a playoff team from last year, completely dominated but went down 1-0, two late goals in six minutes got me the win, Dellar with yet another goal. Into second now.
Anyone for a quick match? These added free tickets are always nice.
always keen......
Sweet, will run out a few youths and send you a request.
wow biggest margin I've had in a friendly before, ahppy to play your stonger guys too if you want.
Going to be a huge night in League 1 Group 1 tonight.
We have a top of the table clash as the Trains take on the Hamilton Tiger Cats
Los Halcones (5th) face KCU (4th) while my own AD Fafe need to get a win at home against ANE2, one of our bogey teams last year, our all time record is 1-1-2 (7-6) => Including a 3-0 home win in season 31.
The Top Half of the Table is crazy close
Indeed! I am gonna be driving from Wellington to Turangi during the game so I will have to live in suspense. (Although I might be able to convince SWMBO to drive and let me keep tabs on things via my phone...)
Chew, Cheeeewwwwww!
I'll probably be shooting Photomac at Laser Tag during the games tonight, but will catch up when we have a break.
wow biggest margin I've had in a friendly before, ahppy to play your stonger guys too if you want.
Yet another 2-0 win, Seghers with his first of the season and 33rd for the club while Dellar now has 6 goals in just 5 games. The only downside is that my starting CM is out for four games, but thankfully I have enough cover and should still go alright.
Tied at the top of the league! Think that's the first time ever.
We took our first loss of the season going down 2-1 to ANE2 (Told you they were my bogey team), Leilei scored again though, that's 4 goals in 5 league games this season for my new striker. It's 6 in 10 since joining the club as well, very happy with that buy (14.6m), and he is only 24.
Though dropping to 9th is a bit disappointing, we need o turn that around.
oof! took a 5-0 walloping with the same squad setup I used for my 5-4 win last match!
Must strengthen the backline, can't run 3 at the back with what I've got, and the keeper could do with a refresh.
Slowly building, slowly building
No promises of a good result from AD Fafe tonight, the Manager took a head knock during Youth Selection on Saturday, and may have a concussion.
Tonight we face Linwood, they are struggling near the bottom of the league, but have scored 13 goals, more than our 8. Our loss in the last game dropped us to 9th meaning we need this win tonight. I have a young left back who I am pondering whether I give him a run off the bench (Simon Walton). Other than that no changes to the normal team and we'll see what happens.
The other Fever teams in the division: The Trains face AO Dunedin, while Los Halcones take on the top of the table Tiger Cats fresh off beating the Trains.
Down 1-0 after 5 minutes, now up 4-1 after 40, usual suspects with the goals, Dellar now with seven in six games!
1-0 up vs a bot team I think.
We're struggling at 1-0 down, bit disappointing, but the Trains are charging 3-0 up in their game, and Halcones are holding the Tiger Cats to 0-0
Unbeaten through six games, atop the league, getting good contributions from all my players, I'm starting to get concerned about potentially making the playoffs!
How come I can't win to save myself in the Fever league?!?!?
Because we're better than you? :P
Probably because we actually have tactics to stop your team.
Normally I would just agree with the first statement but I think my division is one of the harder ones in League 1, there are a few shockers, I think 3.3 and 3.11 or something are just woeful, I have a lot of active teams and play pretty well against them. Then in the fever league, I can't score any goals. Who knows, maybe I'll be more competitive this season.
Yeah not sure.
I am pretty sure 3.1 is in the top half, with only a few B teams, and most teams active, always tough battles. Who knows in Fever league though.
6-2 now, in my last three games against the same opponents the scores have been 3-1, 5-3 and 4-2, exciting stuff every time.
Well we are still at 1-0 here, unable to crack their defense.
And now it is 6-3. What entertainment for a Sunday night.
Right 80 mins gone time to kick it up a gear, very attacking til we score...
