Exeter at the Horseshoe Won 5 – 6
A 6 – 5 victory over Exeter last night sees us second in the league. With the opening team game won, Paul and Nick won their doubles Due to each team only having five the next game was a triple with unfortunately Mick, John and Jenni losing. On to the singles Paul lost a close […]
Wolverhampton Away Drew 1 – 1
This year’s ‘third’ kit was unveiled at Wolverhampton and, like its predecessor, it is more pleasing, to my eye at least, than the second choice version. What’s more important is how those wearing the outfit perform, and charged with the task at Molyneux were three centre backs, with Vestergaard restored to the team. Ralph’s teams […]
Chelsea Home Lost 1 – 4
Having had a week to think about it, Ralph decided that Valery was the best choice to replace Soares after his warm-up injury at Tottenham, with last week’s replacement, Vestergaard, nowhere to be seen. Opponents, Chelsea, have a more home-grown look this season due to their transfer restrictions, and two English players were behind their […]
Spurs Away Lost 2 – 1
Early setbacks on and off the pitch for our first visit to the new Tottenham ground. The stadium looks great but it’s only as good as its infrastructure and fans turning up after about 2:45 were frustrated by gates that didn’t work (and security staff who didn’t care), but already Southampton’s plans had had to be altered after […]
EFL Cup 3rd Round Portsmouth Away Won 0 – 4
True to his word, Ralph picked a strong team at Portsmouth for his first real south coast derby despite his unfortunate experience with injuries during the last round of the Carabao Cup. It still meant a change in goal and if McCarthy may have left a gap at his near post that Marquis almost found, he made up […]
Bournemouth Home Lost 1 – 3
In Ralph we trust, including some of his idiosyncratic line-ups in an attempt to win three points, but left-footed Danso at right back and right-footed Soares at left back against Bournemouth seemed at best to be over-complicating things and at worst a deliberate slight to Bertrand. None of that excuses the visitors’ first goal on […]
Sheffield United Away Won 0 – 1
Without suspended Danso and with doubts about the fitness of bench warmers Valery and Bertrand, Ralph started at Sheffield United with Soares and Djenepo as wing backs in front of three big men. It didn’t work out as we soon found that defending isn’t amongst Djenepo’s talents, but the problem was spotted midway through a ding-dong opening […]
London Saints vs Ex Blues, 30th August 2019
Ex Blues 261-6 (McIntyre 3-17) London Saints 162 all out (Rogers 62, McInytre 16) The London Saints arrived at the picturesque Ex Blues ground for the 30th meeting between the sides with the confidence of back to back wins. We also had great sunny conditions and White Viv’s birthday eve to celebrate, so today was […]
Manchester United Home Drew 1 – 1
Southampton were left licking their wounds after being hit by injuries in the midweek cup tie, but that could have been an advantage; opponents Manchester United would have had to rethink and guess at their defensive game plan, whereas at least Saints knew what they were about. Actually it was no surprise to see Ings […]
EFL Cup Fulham Away Won 0 – 1
You never know what to expect in the League Cup and the game at Fulham was Ralph’s debut in this competition, so who would he select? Quite a strong team as it turned out, given that Bertrand and Valery are carrying injuries and you feel that Vestergaard doesn’t really fancy two games in a week, […]
