Fleet 0-0 Tooting

I was rather hoping somebody else would post on the Forum but to no avail, so here's my take on the game if anyone's interested.
Not a thriller. as you might have guessed from the scoreline. We hardly troubled their Goalie. Defensively we looked pretty sound apart from the last 5-10 minutes when we came under quite a bit of pressure, they got in behind us a couple of times and Theo in goal had to come to the rescue. That's the best performance I've seen from him, he was excellent and made a couple of very good saves. For the first 80 odd minutes it was a 50/50 game neither side created many clear shooting opportunities. Brennan didn't travel with the squad and we ended up drawing a blank for the first time this season. Warren Coleman was as industrious as ever, Lewis Goncalves had a solid game as did his central defensive partner whose name escapes me, good to see Shawn Lyle back from his shoulder injury coming on as sub. Everyone put in a shift.
Nice tidy little ground about a squillion miles walk from the station. hence the blister on my big toe. Huge slope on the pitch, I would've had to put my old Ford Escort in 2nd gear to get up it. Lovely to see Paul 'The Terror' Piggott with his gammy leg there ( I didn't ask, but he was on crutches ), I hadn't seen him for a long time and the top half of him was looking well. Cheapest Club Bar by far I've been in for a long while. Another healthy turnout from the Bog End. 
A thousand times better than the Knaphill debacle. Man of the Match.......Tom Theobald.
