Walton Casuals 1 WTFC 2 - 18.04.09

Posted by Per Laleng on Wednesday, December 2, 2009, In : Archived match report

In a game in which neither side had much to play for and after a gruelling Cup Final against Welling United on Thursday, a fairly low tempo opening was perhaps not that unexpected. But it was also heartening to see that Seags decided against fielding a team made up exclusively of fringe-players. Many who started against Welling also played on Saturday, and surprisingly played with an unexpected level of energy for which they should be commended.

There was an interesting lesson t...

WTFC 1 Worthing 2 - 22.11.08

Posted by Per Laleng on Tuesday, October 27, 2009, In : Archived match report

Despite the freezing conditions, or perhaps because of them, this was on the whole a good game of football. The impartial observer would also probably agree that Whitstable were unlucky not to get anything out of the game after Worthing scored from the spot in the dying minutes of injury time. But had Jake Gess scored from the spot in the 10th minute on his 100th appearance for the club, the final result may have gone the other way completely. It has been suggested elsewhere that the penalt...

WTFC 2 Crowborough 1 - 25.10.08

Posted by Per Laleng on Saturday, October 17, 2009, In : Archived match report

The Oystermen put in a good shift against Brackley Town last Saturday in the FA Trophy. Having taken the lead early in the first half, they gave a team of well-paid players a good game until Brackley took the lead with a soft goal some twenty minutes from the end. At that stage, it was obvious (and understandably so) that no-one really had the appetite for a replay somewhere near Northampton. But at least Whitstable had started scoring goals and they played some excellent counter-attacking fo...

Kingstonian 3 WTFC 0 - 08.03.08

Posted by Per Laleng on Saturday, October 17, 2009, In : Archived match report

A miserable day on a number of counts, but predominantly due to the weather and the score. Whitstable have had a reputation for playing good football in the rain, but perhaps it did not rain hard enough to motivate the players? Whatever the explanation, most of them weren't at the races (or maybe they were at the races but should have been at the game!)

Cray Wanderers 3 WTFC 0 - League Cup QF 22/01/08

Posted by Per Laleng on Friday, September 11, 2009,

We lost 3-0. The score flattered Cray slightly, but they were the better team. We didn't play as well as on Saturday and I think I'm right in saying we had one shot on goal in the first half, which the Cray keeper saved very well. In the second, we played better, but were hassled out of possession when we got it (which wasn't very often).

Much more attacking in second half. Two Town goals disallowed in the game. At least one was good. Cray always looked like they would win it. I thought all ...

Dulwich Hamlet 4 WTFC 3 - 28.10.08

Posted by Per Laleng on Wednesday, September 2, 2009, In : Archived match report

This was never going to be an easy game, but last season this game away at Dulwich Hamlet proved to be the turning point as Whitstable took all three points after a fantastic 3-2 victory against a team flying high in the league. Tommy Martin's free kick was the pick of the bunch in that game. On a blisteringly cold night at Dulwich with sheets of sleet hammering at the players, many fans decided to take advantage of the warmth of the fantastic bar. But a hard core of travelling Oysterboys, w...
