WTFC 1 Whyteleafe 1 - 27.10.09

Posted by Per Laleng on Wednesday, October 28, 2009, In : Match Report

Whitstable played some good football yesterday against a team of a pretty even standard. Apart from the giant 'Tinkerbell' in goal, few of the players in yellow really stood out - though their Nos.8 and 11 were by far their best players. And as they attacked down the left hand side all night, it was perhaps a little unfortunate for the Oystermen that their biggest weakness on the night was in the right back area. Smith had an ok game, but he had to handle two of Whyteleafe's best players -...

WTFC 2 Fleet Town 4 - 20.10.09

Frustrating, to say the least. The scoreline flattered Fleet slightly, but not by much as they had some real quality running throughout their side. It was especially frustrating because we played better than we had against Chatham, and after coming from behind twice it looked as if we might at least secure a point.

There is discontent on the terraces. Fans rightly have high expectations. It is understandable, especially in times of recession. For 70 odd minutes, this was a shocker of a game. Make no bones about it. The last 15-20 minutes were better. Oysterman of the match, by some distance, was Paul Lamb. At least he showed he wanted to win for the full 90 (or most of it) no matter what the score. But, what, if anything, can we take from the game beyond the doom and gloom afflicting the Whitstable fai...

WTFC 1 Leatherhead 2 - 10.10.09

Posted by Per Laleng on Sunday, October 11, 2009, In : Match Report

Whitstable had a relatively good record against Leatherhead before this game, and for most of it they were in control. Signs that Leatherhead might snatch victory however were apparent in the first minute after winning their first corner: how a completely unmarked number 10 headed over from point-blank range remains a mystery. On balance, the Tanners’ 3 points were achieved against the overall balance of the game and courtesy of one bad pass and a failure to mark properly when temporar...
