Eyeson F.C.

[demondude]

Score a goal then go all out defencive so they cant get one back.
Or you could strengthen your defence and go for a 0-0 draw.

[Rocket Edge]

If we beat Chesterfield we could feed of that morale sandwich for the rest of the season.

[Loony BoB]

04:31 - Some clever movement by Ward to pass by a defender and he shoots, but it's put over the bar by smitten.
05:42 - Rooney puts a through ball in for Ward who has a shot saved by smitten, but he was offside all the same.
07:30 - Two shots from within the penalty area, both parried by smitten. And there's another player to the ball again, but he crosses it to an offside player.
12:56 - Rooney gets a shot in, but it's wide.
15:14 - Sustained pressure pays off for Chesterfield as Ward finds the far corner of the netting from an angled shot. 1-0.
17:31 - Leven collides with Ouch! and he's off already, injured.
20:45 - Jess and Lester are both caught offside within seconds of each other. Lots of offsides in this match and it looks like the defenders are playing tight lines on both sides.
21:44 - The ball is in the 6 yard box but smitten falls on top of it.
24:53 - Ooh, smitten tips another one over the bar...
32:06 - Ouch! has a cracker of a shot from distance but it's too high to really trouble the keeper.
35:35 - Some really slick, quick passing by Chesterfield showing why they're top of the table, but the shot by Ward was a few feet too wide to push the point home.
42:22 - Ohhh, what a finish from Craddock! Great play, Psychotic did really well to get to the ball and head it to the forward under pressure. Craddock made sure that effort meant something, letting the ball sail just out of reach of the keeper and into netting. That's his first goal for Eyeson.


45:00 (+0:35) - A nasty foul on Heath there by Ward and the ref calls him over. Oh! It's a straight red for the goalscorer! Ward is looking around with his hands on his head, he can't believe it!
40:00 (+6:45) - The Chesterfield players are still having words with the ref but they're cut short as one of their forwards makes a good run, they forget about the incident for now and Austin shoots, ohhhh, so close, but it's over the top.
45:00 - A highly eventful first half sees two goals and a red card for Ward and Eyeson will feel they have an opportunity to take advantage of here against the league table toppers.

Let's see if our players know how to spell 'upset'...

EDIT:
58:25 - Psychotic crosses from out wide, blim has it, passes-- it's in! Jess scores! It's 1-2 at Saltergate and the Eyeson fans are loving it, Jess leaps into the air and thumps her fist, she's delighted to put her side ahead!

66:13 - Jess striikes but it's too tight, it was never going to go in from there.
68:48 - Craddock makes a run to the edge of the penalty area but Forecast (keeper) gets there first and gathers the ball.
69:02 - Oh no! It's 2-2! 10-man Chesterfield have equalised! Austin makes a nice pass and Lester has the perfect run in, he just has to hit it with his shin and it flies into the net! Game on!
73:00 - Dyer is off for Jackson, that's all three of Chestefields substitutions as Eyeson have run them ragged.
75:06 - The six yard box is packed with forwards and defenders but Ouch! manages to clear.
78:21 - Oh dear! A great chance is wasted as Craddock finds himself with a nice pass from Dude in front of goal, he's skied it.
78:31 - Spatvark comes on for blim for a three-man central midfield.
88:15 - Craddock is up against the keeper now but Forecast does well to put that over the bar.
90:00 (+2:57) - Eyeson make one last change as DK comes on for Edge who is hobbling around in the midfield, but it's only wasting time for goals.
90:00 - That's it, it's all over here! 2-2 and while BoB will be disappointed with the inability to hold on for the win, he'll know that his team have done well against the top side and a point is never easy to get at Saltergate. The players clap to their fans as they head off the pitch.








Gutted, but still happy with the point overall.

[Cz]

Away from home, I'd say that's not a bad result. I know I'd have taken it before the game began.

[Ouch!]

I scored? OH HELL YEAH!

[smittenkitten]

Oh yeah, Who da man? I the man. Well done Ouch!

[Loony BoB]

01:23 - A good start by the Chocobos as Psychotic receives a cross in the six yard box but somehow keeper Shearer is able to keep it out.
09:50 - GOAL! Jess strikes once more, that's her 7th this season and Spatvark picks up the assist.


15:07 - Oh dear, Manus allows Reid to get into a wonderful position but he's lucky to see smitten make a brilliant save. Manus picks up the ball from the parry and boots it high into the stands.
36:26 - Dangerman Torres makes a good run in but Heath makes a fantastic tackle before he can get into a shot-making position.
36:41 - Sutton's header flies over the bar.
41:26 - Corner for Eyeson, and blim sends it in-- GOAL! Edge picks up his first league goal of the season with a brilliant header! The Eyeson players are quick to run to their captain to give their congratulations as he kisses his badge and thumps his chest.
45:00 (+0:40) - Reid gets a shot on goal - smitten saves but the ball is still floating around the six yard box. Heath clears.
45:00 (+1:08) - McGleish scores! It's 1-2 now as he did well to outpace the defenders on the counter, shooting into the far corner from a 45 degree angle. He picked the ball up from an awful backwards header by Edge.
48:02 - That's Edge with a yellow, and he's gutted as he knows he'll be missing a match now.
49:03 - Antwi with a chance from a corner but the header bounces over the bar.
51:49 - Manus makes a rough tackle in the penalty area - and the ref points to the spot! It's a penalty kick for Wycombe!
52:16 - GOAL! That's in, smitten went the right way but not fast enough to beat Williams' shot.
53:24 - Eyeson want to make a change... it's McAllister coming on, and it look like Spatvark will be heading to the bench.
59:38 - smitten does well to save a shot right down in the corner.
66:04 - Jess and blim work well to get the ball from one end to the other between them, Jess controls the ball around the right back - shoots! But it's gone wide.
72:56 - Fine save! A strong shot from the Wycombe midfield but she somehow gets to it.
75:08 - Manus makes a vital clearance after smitten saves a shot by Torres.
76:05 - Jess strikes wide from distance, but it's a goalkick and BoB seems to be wanting some changes. Jess is off to applause as Craddock joins the fray, and Cz is making way for Leopold.
80:26 - Torres crosses to Reid who makes a thumping shot dead on target, and the shot bounces right off smitten's chest - and Reid is already in the six yard box, he's got it in! I didn't know he could run that fast!
90:00 (+3:24) - A last chance moment here as blim takes a corner - but Shearer has it covered.
90:00 - It's all over, and Eyeson have thrown away a solid halftime lead. They'll be very disappointed with themselves for this, and the Eyeson fans certainly even more so.







Meanwhile, in grumpyville...



Saunders is such a whining bum.

And finally, .

[blim]

4 shots on target in each of our last two games and a point from each!!

Somewhat fortunate to say the least!

[smittenkitten]

Get well soon Dan!

[Rocket Edge]

I'm a filthy player.

[Loony BoB]

17:39 - GOAL! Not much had been happening but Jess has changed that now! Eyeson's first real chance of the game and they've put it away, 1-0! A real cracker of a shot, that. Good long ball from Manus, too!
24:09 - Tonge plays a good ball forward but Holmes can't do it justice, sending it a few feet wide.
24:44 - Great run by O'Grady, evading a lot of defenders there! The shot is over, though.
30:12 - Jess tries to blast it from distance but it's too high to bother Steele.
45:00 - A rather uneventful first half aside from Jess' goal and it should heat up from here.
50:13 - Some very cool, classy passing amongst a congested area of the field by Eyeson, but the end result is a shot that goes too wide. Jess shows her appreciation for the work done with a thumbs up to her midfield.
55:19 - Ooh, nice shot by Spatvark but it's too high.
63:00 - A rare chance for Rotherham as Todd makes a nice pass, but the resulting shot is right into smitten's arms.
65:10 - Craddock sends Psychotic forward with a superb through-ball - Over! Wow, that shot was incredibly fast. What a strike!
69:08 - Holmes shoots, it's curving, it's - wide! It curved right out of the danger zone!
73:38 - Milsom and Holmes combine in near-deadly fashion, that's a nother strike gone to the left of goal for Rotherham.
74:11 - The goalkick goes straight to Holmes who makes a run and a shot from outside the penalty area, it's wide again!
74:25 - Looks like Spatvark is huffing and puffing, and it's Leopold who comes on... it will be interesting to see how this team plays. It looks like Leopold is going on Dude's left as the midfield move a bit further back.
77:13 - Holmes goes for goal but it's wide (again!).
78:22 - Holmes is really troubling them right now, he shot that ball right from Manus' feet and smitten put it over, this is a lot of pressure being put onto the Eyeson goal and BoB will want to do something about it.
82:30 - O'Grady smashes the ball wide.
83:00 - Craddock is off, Harvest on.
90:00 (+3:00) - blim has collided with a Rotherham player and it looks like he'll be going straight off. Saunders trots onto the field for the final minutes of the game.
90:00 - It's over! A hard-fought game, this one, and Eyeson will feel pleased with a 1-0 victory.











Time for Levian to step up. Happy with the three points, though, and it'll be good to have Edge back in for the next game - Spatvark seems to tire very easily.

---





07:32 - What a shot! Fantastic effort from Dagnall from almost 30 yards out, and it was inches over the top!
08:24 - GOAL! 0-1 to Eyeson as they score to take an early lead, almost a tradition for the Chocobos! BoB had been asking for Craddock to perform better lately and he's got a goal to show his boss he can do just that. A nice ball in from Cz who will get the assist, and Craddock left the defence behind him, edging the ball past the keeper.

10:07 - Dagnall heads the ball over the goal from a set piece.
45:00 (+0:06) - Great save by smitten from a thumper by Dagnall.
57:51 - Etuhu on a counter after a dangerous run by Psychotic with no end product, and the cross comes in from the Rochdale player but Heath manages to clear the danger. ...It's gone all the way to Craddock, actually, and now it's a counter-counter! Passes to Psychotic... Ouch!... ooh, the cross whizzed past the face of goal but there were not Eyeson players there to put it in.
67:43 - Free kick outside the area for Eyeson, and Dude takes it. Passes to Edge, then to Ouch! who fires in! But it's high and wide, that's why he's a defender.
73:59 - Heath puts a ball back into midfield but only as far as Jones who opportunistically smashes the ball over. He had a lot more time than he thought, one feels.
75:44 - Both sides make a substitution (McAllister comes on for Jess).
78:48 - The home fans are jumping in the stands, it's a goal for Rochdale! That was a great free kick from Dagnall, he'll be well pleased. 1-1.

80:37 - McAllister gets into a good position but it's a good tackle from a Rochdale defender who sends it out for a corner.
85:47 - Dagnall on the counter and he shoots it high into the stands from outside the area.
90:00 - And that's it, full time and the Eyeson faithful will be disappointed that they didn't get a result here.








Stop getting injured, bitches. >=O





! Off to the Failridden for him so he can get match fit.

[Heath]

Wahey. Team of the week!

[Loony BoB]

G'job, Heath. Well earned, too, you've ben making some key tackles pretty often lately.

[Psychotic]

Apparently the team of the week selectors have a thing for me.

...nothing to do with the wads of cash that I happened to drop in their presence, either!

[Loony BoB]

09:47 - Ooh! First real chance of the match, Jess doesn't strike it cleanly but it's still on target, and it takes a fine save from Brain to stop it finding the back of the net.
13:46 - Eagle tries his luck at a long shot but it's wide.
22:00 - Two forwards on the edge of Eyeson's penalty area but Heath does well to get between them, tackle the ball-holder and clear the ball from the area. Good stuff.
35:54 - Husbands shoots wide from a cross. Poor effort.
38:00 - A double save there by smitten, or was it a triple? Either way, the ball is out eventually and she'll be relieved at that. Eyeson struggling to keep hold of the ball here, 42% possession to them in a home game. BoB won't be pleased.
39:40 - Psychotic finds Cz's cross but it's straight at the keeper.
45:00 (+0:40) - Ooh, best chance for some time there as Craddock puts in a nice cross for Jess, but Macclesfield's Dimech gets between striker and ball and puts it out for a corner.
45:00 - Half time at Aiyonfield and it's all level.
45:00 - It looks like BoB's going for more up front as McAllister joins Jess and Craddock at the expense of blim on the left.
45:30 - Instant attack by Eyeson and Brain is forced to make a save in the lower right corner of goal from a Craddock shot. Good job by Levian in splitting the midfield with a nice pass.
45:53 - Macclesfield get a shot wide on the counter.
50:46 - Great play by Jess and McAllister but it's to no end product thanks to some packed defenders in the penalty area.
50:56 - Dude has a shot but it's well wide.
69:24 - GOAL! 1-0 to Eyeson, a great cross from McAllister and Jess is tight up against the goalline, it's just a tap-in required from her! Wait-- the assistant has his flag up! It won't count! Jess is gutted. she thought she'd timed her run well there.
70:37 - One minute later, and it's 1-0 for sure this time! Craddock is flooded by his teammates and the Chocobos get their goal, Macclesfield can not believe it and there are a few by the assistant hoping for a second favour. It was a great first touch that made that goal. Jess fed the ball for him from just outside the penalty area, he took one touch with his right foot and brought it to his left to make some space, took the shot with his weaker foot and scored.

74:27 - McAllister makes a fantastic run into open space with the ball, and he's up against the keeper now - oh, his shot is parried. Another! Dude strikes the loose ball into an open goal! It's 2-0!

76:39 - Almost a third goal there as Macclesfield struggle to get the ball away from their penalty area. The three strikers are working together with fantastic play.
79:28 - Amidst the constant attack, Wiles manages to get a shot in for Macclesfield but it's gone wide.
80:00 - Saunders on for Psychotic.
86:31 - Harvest feeds McAllister - Ooh! Nice shot from the Irishman, but it's just over.
88:39 - Corner, and McAllister powers a header at goal, but it's grazed the top of the bar and heads out.
90:00 - The whistle goes for full time and that's a 2-0 home win orchestrated by substitute McAllister, who has really done a job for the fans today, who are happy to applaud their team off.






Finally, a win by more than one goal.
