An attacking formation by
Munday’s Oystermen coupled with a new-found ability to pass the ball (at one
point, we counted 6 consecutive passes) ensured an ultimately comfortable win
for the home side in this ‘six-pointer’. Munday fielded a fluid 1-2-4-1-2 formation
with Vahid and Pulman up front and Cory in the hole. This left Parker and
Gooding in the middle of the park and the rest of the line-up as before, GS
sweeping up imperiously at the back as per usual.Whitstable played some...

It's been a while, but well worth the wait! Whitstable emerged victorious on a heavy pitch after recent postponements, and on balance, the win was deserved. Walton & Hersham probably displayed better technique, passing and composure on the ball, but Whitstable's solid defending masterminded by GS and desire shone through here, especially in the second half. Whitstable started brightly enough and took the game to the visitors, but within the first few minutes it became clear that most of ... Continue reading ...

The scoreline suggests we were hammered. And we were in terms of result, but at least four of their goals can be explained by defensive errors - and one was a real shame as it followed some really neat, short, crisp passing and moving on the deck by the Oystermen culminating in one loose ball from debutant Ben Smith, who otherwise had a pretty good game, which was intercepted, leaving Tanner flat on the floor and a Met player successfully one-on-one against Fewell. Maybe there is an argumen... Continue reading ...

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 -... Continue reading ...

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. Alas, when Fleet's third went in, some heads dropped for a while even if the Oystermen put in a good final 15 minutes or so. Interestingly, this coincided with the fans singing ...

It was a hot, sticky day in Surrey. And hazy. It’s always hazy at Walton & Hersham. But the grass was shorter than we’re used to. Short on support too, mind. And players. Dan Tanner arrived late and was warming up whilst the rest of his team-mates had their pre-match talk. With Gess and Wisker on suspensions and no sign of Dom Elmes, Munday played the same formation and team as last week except that GS and Tanner swapped round at the centre of defence.
Both sides came into the gam...

Stuart Vahid celebrates his goal
Oh the magic of the Cup! On paper, Carshalton should have thrashed Whitstable. The Swans had had a pretty decent run in the league above the Oystermen, but Whitstable just raised their game and played some good football for 75 minutes. Loan signing Ben Brown played wide right in what looked like a novel 4-2-3-1 formation with Clint Gooding, captain for the day, in the ‘hole’. Gareth Cornhill dropped back to right back and was joined at left back by Ste...
