Rushden - Weekend review

Well after last seasons 5th place and fa cup win i had high hopes for the season, and so far its not dissapointed. Season started with a home game to Goldy's boston and ended with a comfortable 5-1 victory to me. Things continued to go well after that with wins over boro and vince's man city, before i lost to steve's assistant at villa [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif" alt="frown[/IMG]. Things picked up again after that with some more impressive wins over chelsea, spurs, cardiff and the mighty man u. A 3-2 loss at home to wba soon followed, but wins against Fulham, newcastle and Liverpool put me to the top of the league. In Uefa rushden suffered a dissapointing 3rd round defeat against psv, in lc we were knocked out by cardiff, and in fa knocked out by blackburn. With a couple of games still to go before the end of the session, hopefully i can stay top before i go on holiday next week and let new assisstant Des Walker take charge

Well I said consolidation was the aim this season and that looks likely to be about the best we can hope for. However i have looked at strengthening the squad
with the aquisition of Postiga,Tevushenko and Ricketts from Boston (Thanks Goldy [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="big grin[/IMG]) and Bridge from Villa (Thanks Steve R [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="big grin[/IMG]).So no fireworks this season but building for the future. Not a bad session though.

And of course having applied for several jobs no one seems interested in giving me a shot in 1 of the bigger clubs. Never mind I'll prove them all wrong , just youwait and see [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="big grin[/IMG] [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="big grin[/IMG] [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="big grin[/IMG]

No, thanks for that compliment, all credit to the rest of the group. The game is fun which is the main reason for playing.

The game will keep going until the fun is gone or till CM4 comes out, which of course there are new plans for [IMG]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif" alt="smile[/IMG]

EFB Summary

It was another action packed weekend at EFB. With the new season starting everyone had their own expectations for the new season. We have managed to play half the season over the 2 sessions we have at the weekends.


Paul - Barnsley : Well the division 2 champions havnt found it so easy as last season but its not going too bad. Currently 17th in Division 1, a good mid table team and looking very good on avoiding the drop. In the cups they were knocked out the 3rd round of the league cup by Rushden (Dave). The FA Cup saw them lose on penalties to Burnley in the 3rd round.

Mark - Coventry : Although absent of late and will be for another week or 2 his Coventry side have tried their best to get promotion to the premiership. With a squad of unhappy players and players disliking each other they have done really well by getting their current league position of 4th place. Not a lot of transfer activity of course due to the managers absent and also saw them defeated in the 2nd round of the league cup on pens. The FA Cup they have managed to progress through to the 4th round.

Dave - Rushden : Although he will be missing this weekends session as he has gone on holiday he has left his team top of the premiership. Looking strong to making Champions league football and maybe even sneak the league title if the assistant keeps up the good work done already. Knocked out of the UEFA cup at the 3rd round by PSV. Fielded a reserves side in the league cup which saw them knocked out in the 4th round. This followed with a 3rd round exit from the FA cup for the holders. Lost in the charity shield to WBA (Kris) after going down to 10men.

Kris - WBA : The champions are up there, currently in 3rd place and right behind the top 2 and is looking to win the league again. A strong side no doubt and will certainly be pushing all the way. Champions league see's them progress to the 2nd phase in a very tight group so far with Barcelona, Inter and Porto. Also opened the season with the charity shield in which he defeated Rushden (Dave), a close match until Rushden were down to 10 men. The defending champions of the league cup crashed out on pens at the 3rd round which ended their efforts for trying to win it 3 times in a row. In the FA cup they progressed easily into the 4th round.

Steve R - Aston Villa : Well its going a lot better so far with his new club, currently in for a UEFA cup place,5th in the league. Well another club to suffer an early league cup exit by also going out on pens in the 3rd round, he won the cup before with his former club Wolves. The FA cup saw him squeeze through on a 3rd round replay to face Boston Utd (Steve).

Andy - Cardiff : Survival is the aim this season and they sure are doing it by a mile, currently 7th and might snatch a european place if teams form keeps up. Managerd to get to the league cup quarter final in which an extra time goal saw them get knocked out. Another team that has managed to progress to the 4th round of the FA Cup.

Vince - Man City : Early season form suggested that they would finish top 3 this season, but their form of late hasnt been too good. Currently 8th but is capable of catching and competing with the best in the league. In the UEFA cup they progressed past the 3rd round against Deportivo to play Brondby in the 4th. In the league cup they were another team to go out on pens in the 3rd round. In the FA Cup they also managed to get to the 4th round.

Steve - Boston : Once again surivial is key for the smallest club in the premiership. After massive negiotiations managed to bring a couple of fantastic players in to help progress from 14th that they got last season. Its looking promising but have recently suffered a lot of bad decision against them and suffered the CM 1 shot 1 goal ratio. Managed to hold onto 10th place in the league but could of been a lot better. Only fielding reserves in the cups they managed to get to the league cup quarter final before being knocked out by a 92nd minute goal. The reserves continued their good form onto the FA Cup which has lined them up for a 4th round clash with Aston Villa (Steve-R)

Thats all folks.
