2014 September.
England beat Albania 3-0 In the Euro Qualifying Group 7.
N.Ireland beat Israel 1-0 but
Hughes didn't make the match squad :thdn:.
Home to Tiverton. Despite going behind early on, a goal from
Saunders and a brace from MOM
Oli gave us 3 more points. The player who really impressed was skipper
Gary White playing at right back. He set up 2 of the goals and was a constant thorn in Tiverton's side.
After 6 games we sit 2nd in the league

behind Chelmsford. Havant & Waterloovill are 3rd, (first 3 seperated by goal difference). Weymouth and Eastleigh are the other teams yet to face defeat.
I've managed to nick a couple of players from Barnet on loan

.
Peter Jones is a 22 year old striker who looks like he should score at any level. He's already found the net for the Bees this season and is unhappy as he has only made 2 starts. He will start on the bench against Billericay during the week.
Peter Graham is a the 23 year old striker who joined me at Boro last season but was injured in his first and only game. They both played for the Reserves today and while Jones grabbed a brace and the MOM award, Graham looks a little short of match fitness.
Ben Saunders is rested away to Billericay and is replaced by
David Thomas. Billericay haven't won in their last 6 games but they haven't been beaten either. We haven't lost in our last 6, but have drawn our last 2 away games. Could this be a bore draw?
Mark Hughes Snr puts us 1 up 5 minutes before half time and we make it to the break with our lead intact but their left winger is causing us all sorts of problems

. He's made 7 key passes in the first half and is clearly a danger himself as he has scored 5 goals from 6 starts already this season. I decide to put a marker on him and
Joe Bruce comes on to do a job for me at the expense of
Oli. 2 minutes in and we get a penalty for handball.
Miller isn't playing so 16 year old left back
Chris Matthews steps up and converts comfortably for his first senior goal :thup:.
Adam Hall makes it 3-0 and in doing so secures the MOM award. Ashton hardly got a kick in the 2nd half as my tactics paid off

.
That was our best win so far :thup:. Nullifying Ashton so completely was especially pleasing. Chelmsford dropping points away to bottom of the table AFC Wimbledon made my day even better. We sit top of the table for the first time

.
This time
Peter Graham bags a brace for the Reserves and
Peter Jones has to settle for a single goal. Things are coming along quite nicely up front
