Pakefield Re-United v. Ellingham (League) (Saturday 13th March 2010)
It was always going to be an interesting game when you're playing at home and have to travel away... everybody decamped to Dip Farm for another round of "up and at 'em!" with what was expected to be a physical Ellingham side. It panned out pretty much as expected but unlike the early season game Ellingham seemed to be lacking a bit of quality up front and this made the day slightly easier for Pakefield. It wasn't quite "Last Man Standing" as the squad came together but it was the team that is likely to have to take Pakefield through to the end of the season. So Dippy made it clear that we neede to up the workrate, focus on doing our jobs and playing for the team so knowing what we normally do when Dippy speaks it was good that the team did respond...
In terms of goals Moorhen thumped a ball straight and true and through the upstretched hands of the keeper, Jan made a dart down the left and drove a cross in and straight under the bar on the right of the goal and finally Tillsy stepped up and slotted home a penalty late on. So I'm going to wait and see how the Boss has called it...

Pakefield Re-United v. Ellingham |
Arrival Time – Planned: 13:45 Actual: 13:48 ... I think!! | RESULT: Won 3-0 |
SQUAD NUMBER | NAME |
1 | Boris - Didn't have a busy game, did what was required and found a voice to actually call for the ball, most of the time! 7/10 |
2 | Catelogue - Busy game with no lack of effort in shutting down the options on the right and trying to support forwards 8 /10 |
3 | Beagle - Played the part of chief enforcer and generallisimo in strong defensive performance that secured the win 8/10 |
4 |
Tillsy -Some really good touches and as always very strong in the tackle saw a good alround game that shut up shop 8/10 |
5 | Jan - With the defence setting the tone he didn't disappoint and also scored a rather "splendid" goal when pushing forward 8/10 |
6 | Barman - Always causing problems, running hard and fast and linking up play but lacked quality on crosses for top mark 8/10 |
7 | New Town - Perpetual dynamo spinning and popping and trying to link it all together while still tackling and mugging for ball 9/10 |
8 | Fergie - Early doors was a bit disjointed and missing the pass but came onto game as he got the pace of the ball 7/10 |
9 | Rocket - Some deft touches and real quality when given the space but defence was stronger on the right 7/10 |
10 | Deckhand - Football brain saw his quality create space for those around him but bit rusty in front of goal so no top mark 8/10 |
11 | Moorhen - Bish! Bash! Bosh! A thumping drive for his goal and an equally venomous shot for miss of the game but needed 8/10 |
12 | Moonwalker - Came on pushed off the ball then settled and offered and ran on well to create chance late on 7/10 |
