Things have been a bit disjointed lately. I’ve been feeling a bit ‘under the weather’, like most people it seems, and been quite busy too. Between my last posting, and this, i’ve played my first game for Bloxham, that was experience!

We lost 4-3, but it was a quality game. We played ‘Broughton & North Newington’, a team 2 leagues higher (Premiership), and currently 3rd. We, on the other hand, are in League 2, languashing at the bottom; I take no credit for that, I didn’t play in any games that got us there! Anyhow, so yeah, the game… We actually went 3-0 down, and then a spirited comeback brought the game back to 3-3. We had our fair chances to take the lead to be fair, but it didn’t quite happen. Then in injury time, they snatched a winner, quite literally from the keeper’s hands from a corner. So So harsh, but all in all a really good performance, from a rejuveniated group of lads. I have a feeling we’re gonna come good, sooner or later. How did I get on? Well, I was put upfront, which is ‘kinda’ my role. I’m more, really of a ‘Scholes’ like player, usually playing attacking midfield really, and playing ‘last man’ was tough. We also didn’t have a natural left midfielder/winger, which left me playing left midfield one minute, and then sprinting to make flick on’s from the other forward. It was DAMN tiring! Apart from that, I guess it wasn’t bad, I fought quite well, won a few balls I didn’t deserve to, and unfortunately squared a few balls to my strike partner, I shouldn’t of. I’ve always been very unselfish as a player, and as ever I looked to set someone else up, for an easier chance than I had. Sure enough they didn’t come off, and i got a bit of an ear bashing for not shooting. I’ve got to try and get out of that habit, I guess and be a little more selfish. The pitch was rather muddy, it rained throughout, and I was wearing my moulded (FG) Nike Total 90′s; needless to say, I was all over the bloody place, which didn’t help. So I made it my mission this week, to get a DECENT pair of studded (SG) boots, i’ve never had a ‘decent’ pair really. What else? Oh! I got stamped on, that was fun!?! The player, post match pleads that he didn’t mean to do it, but pssha, “whatever mate.”
I enjoyed putting him on his ass, in exchange, despite it being in my nature to ‘cheat’, I had to do it, red mist decedes over me in times like this…

So yeah, It wasn’t a ‘bad’ debut. I didn’t score, which is a bit annoying, but that’s my own fault, as much as anyone elses. Training looms tomorrow, I know i’m gonna hear more of… “When you get near the goal, just hit it… Yada yada yada”, and I’ll nod and go, “yeah I know…”

Looking forward to Saturday, league debut, i’m gunning for a goal; assuming I get a start?!!
