Planet Stevenage : Where Putting The Ball Into The Net Seems A Struggle
Fans of Stevenage, fans of the Boro its been a bit of a frustrating couple of sessions at camp Stevenage, we dominate our opponents completely and just struggle to find the back of the net, why I don't, how to conquer it.......well thats another good question!
Anyway, plenty of exciting action!
Premiership Down by the Riverside to play : Middlesborough
Once more a frustrating game for moi the manager, a game that we saw three easy points last season saw us only get a point this time around despite us enjoying complete domination, but once again despite making a hundred and one chances, they just cant put it into the back of the net, why does it happen to me?
Final Score : Middlesborough 1 -1 Stevenage Juliusson Uefa Cup Visiting Broadhall Way is : Gent AA
Its time for the Uefa Cup! Our first season in the clubs history and we've done extremely well in it already with progressing via the Inter Toto Cup and beating some very top class opponents. It was time for the first round and we got given a tough draw against Belgium side AA Gent. Well we very much enjoyed overall possession and it was a suprise the score line was kept so low, more "world class" keepers for the opponent and our strikers must just be getting so frustrated. Anyway, it was pacey Slovenian striker Borut Semler who gave us the lead and that effort was followed up by the man who, no one else but captain Juliusson with a cracking 30 yard piledriver.
Final Score : Stevenage 2 - 0 Gent AA Juliusson, Semler Premiership Visiting Broadhall Way is : Blackburn
Rovers havnt been doing at all lately and its a game I expected maximum points from too, well the lads delivered but it did take till the second half despite a handful of chances going close with every part of the goal being hit apart from the back of the net! But finally it was the swedish youngster and brazillian wonderkid who brought home the bounty and relieve some of that stress!
Final Score : Stevenage 2 - 0 Blackburn Lindqvist, Silva-Viera Visiting Molineuxl to play : Wolves
I swear they do it on purpose, having thrashed Wolves last season and enjoying complete domination in this game too and looking on course to thrash them once more.....they miss a thousend chances infront of goal and then out of the blue, Wolves somehow get a goal from their first ever shot on goal! Just typical, bloody game, just does my head at stupid times like this! We did get a goal eventually, Semler was the one who broke free from the Wolves defence to deliver the goods.
Final Score :Wolves 2 - 1 Stevenage Semler Visiting Broadhall Way is : QPR
Its going from bad to worse in the league at the moment, teams that we completely thrashed last season, and dominate all over this season too are getting points off us for no good damn reason at all. There is nothing much but dominating a game anyone can do, for some reason we cant score more than one goal, we got very talented strikers who definately know where the net is but the ball for some odd reason doesnt end up in the net. The score line doesnt reflect anything in this game apart from that QPR had as many shots as they had goals, which is absolutely zilch!
Final Score : Stevenage 0 - 0 QPR Uefa Cup Visiting Belgium For A Beer Trip & to Play : AA Gent 1st Leg : 1-1 2nd leg
Well its time for us to complete the first round of the Uefa Cup with us travelling to Belgium for some Chocolates and Beer.......to celebrate a fine victory of course. They did play a lot better in this leg than they did the first but still it wasnt good enough to get too near our goal. Despite the strikers missing hatful of chances it was Portugese international Marco Ferreira who struck a sweet low shot past the helpless keeper to bring us into the second round!
Final Score : AA Gent 0 - 1 Stevenage Ferreira Visiting Ashburton Grove to Play : La Gunners
We didnt perform aswell in the first half as we have done in previous games and the Gunners did enjoy some very nice space with the ball and got their goal. But the second half was all us, we were shooting at the Arsenal goal like a firing range, but we only got rewarded once which was amazing considering how many chances we had at the end of the game.
Final Score : Arsenal 1 - 1 Stevenage Hidalgo League Cup 3rd Round Visiting Broadhall Way is : Wolves
Well as tradition goes, when domestic cup comes round the reserves get a nice day out to amuse themselves, today they did that in style an all. Wolves with a very strong eleven out including the likes of Miller and Chopra looked favourites to win this but to a suprise, our reserves played them off the park completely and it was the two youngest players on the park for us that scored the goals. Gibson got the ball rolling with a fierce 35 yard strike and then McDonaldo went round three helpless Wolves defender to slot it past the keeper and into the bottom right corner
Final Score : Stevenage 2 - 0 Wolves Gibson, McDonald Premiership Visiting Broadhall Way is : Man City
What a superb game it was, finally for some reason we started scoring an all which really made me happy for a chance cos we just seem to keep missing so many great chances week in week out. The Citeh defence just couldnt cope with the pace we put out and it was funny watching them trying to keep up with both Semler and Rommedahl who just flew down the wing to setup some fantastic efforts.
Final Score : Stevenage 4 - 0 Man City Rommedahl, Queudrue, Ferreira, Semler Uefa Cup Visiting Broadhall Way is : M.Netanya
Arghhh!!! What have we done to deserve this, just as things were getting better with a cracking victory over Citeh we just cant score again! We hit the bar twice and each post too. It seemed that superman has flown in to help the Israeli side keep a clean sheet! All to do in the away leg now but it should have been at least 5-0 and over in this first leg, very disappointing to say the least.
Final Score : Stevenage 0 - 0 N.Metanya Premiership Visiting Villa Park to Play : Aston Villa
Its getting worse and worse, the frustration is really at a max, after completely walking all over Villa they suddenly score from no where! Yes you guessed it, we still hadnt scored and it was more of a mystery to why we hadn't managed it, need to call in a Priest, its a curse I swear it is!! However, the come back kings tag was tied around our neck as delight was brought to my face after a very frustrating game, it was young midfielder McDonald who levelled things before a 90th min corner came to seal the fate for Villa, a rare good cross was delivered which Hidalgo headed into the near post to bring home the three points!
Final Score : Aston Villa 1 - 2 Stevenage Hidalgo, McDonald Visiting Broadhall Way is : Norwich
It was time to play Wayne's Assistant, the assistant won the first division and has taken Norwich to a great league position in the top 4, if we win, we'd leap frog them into the champions league spot. Norwich enjoyed some chances infront of goal and were close to scoring, however the score line was kept so low due to of course "the curse". I brought Poole into the squad to see if it is the strikers that are causing the problem but it didnt make it any better or worse, thankfully after having beat the offside trap on numerous ocassions, Poole broke free to slot it home cooly.
Final Score : Stevenage 1 - 0 Norwich Poole
A very frustrating time at the moment for me, dominating games completely against our opposition but for some reason the lads just cant put it in the back of the net...........then it just gets followed up by the AI getting one shot in and scoring. Its difficult to see what needs changing, cos everything is going perfect apart from the chances just not going in for some odd reason!
but then again they might just want to play a game with me and the coaches to see how far they can push us shall we win one game today lads or shall we go for a draw or a loss thats how it feels like
