Report courtesy of R Austin 78 Well yes it was "Heart attack stuff", first half they took the game to
us, had a shot come back out off the inside of the post, and (by now
obviously) PK stupidly, and needlessly getting sent off after reacting
to a challenge I wouldn't personally call X-rated. Second half, we came
firing out of the blocks, ballooning a few shots over the bar, and
putting them under the cosh for long periods, they scored first after a
cross to the far post wickedly turned ... Continue reading ...

Report couresty of steveparsons Excellent result against a high flying Bognor side. PULMAN could have given WTFC an early lead, but shot over. After this
it was really backs to the wall, with HAWKINS and LLOYD solid again at
the back and SMITH L and ULPH having to deal with the constant wing
threat. S.SMITH was called on to make a couple of fine saves and the game
was all square at the break (my 39 minutes on the first goal a
loser). Bognor now applied more pressure, but CORNHILL could ha... Continue reading ...

By all accounts, the performance against Welling on Tuesday was very good notwithstanding the fact that Welling fielded a number of academy players. Whitstable continued their impressive recent performances with a good draw away at Burgess Hill. They scored both the goals. Unfortunately, only one went in the home team's net. The first was an impressive own goal from Ashley 'Butch' Ulph, scoring with a looped shot over Shaun Smith (now installed, for the moment, at least, as Whitstable's No.1....

There is a buzz around the Belmont: the appointment of Peter Nott seems to have lifted everyone at the Club (except Kevin 'Wonder'-Fewell, who sadly, as decided to call it a day after his 218 appearances for The Oystermen. Cheers Kev: I'm sure you'd be welcome back any time). That buzz was transmitted into this game against Leatherhead. Whitstable's record against the visitors was not good: played 6, lost 4, conceding more than two and scoring less than one goal a game. But, the opposition st...

To coin the aphorism: she’s a
cruel mistress. The Oystermen were undone by a goal in the 92nd
minute as Dulwich returned to London with all three points and a 1-0 victory.
On the balance of play, especially in the second half, it was an undeserved
victory for the visitors – but you got the sense that the hosts would have been
happy with a 0-0 draw in the last twenty minutes despite their sporadic yet
incisive attacks. That said, the final quarter was testament to an exciti... Continue reading ...

Match report by yourcanterbury By Glenn Pearson
An opportunist strike from hitman Ian Pulman 12 minutes from time
earned Whitstable Town a derby point in an entertaining game with
in-form Faversham Town at Salters Lane.
Supporters were still queuing to get through the turnstiles at 3pm as
a Bank Holiday crowd of 330 squeezed in to watch the visitors, under
caretaker boss Steve Nolan, dominate the first-half. Whitstable almost
took the lead on 21 minutes when a headed clearance found TJ M... Continue reading ...

The team is going through a transformation of personnel: new signing Lloyd Blackman partnered Pulman up front; Gooding played on the right hand side of midfield, and put in a good shift with Yianni on the opposite flank; Sherman captained the side playing slightly deeper than Wisker and in front of loan signing Groombridge and new signing TJ Monkur in centre of defence; Morris played at right back and Cornhill at left back and Fewell was back between the sticks despite Smith's man of the mat...

The red men started the game in blistering form, playing some really decent passing football and were rewarded within the first five minutes as Stuart Vahid dinked a lovely ball onto the far post and in for the home side's opener. The goal came so quickly and unexpectedly that I failed to get a picture (and I was enjoying a nice pint of Guiness). The back line looked assured on the ball, and the loan signing, Groombridge, marshalled the back four with a good use of his voice. The Oysterme... Continue reading ...

A decent enough performance against a team in the top six...
Not too much goalmouth action in the first half, although we had a couple of good chances, but the opponents got on top for a spell in the middle period.
After the break, more chances came and went and we should have been awarded a penalty when Vahid was knocked over as he was about to shoot. Eventually Pulman ran on to a through ball and rounded the keeper to give us the lead with 10 minutes to play. W... Continue reading ...

Report by steveparsons
A meagre crowd of 91 witnessed a spirited Town performance against their premier league opposition.
With DALTON back in the Town line up at left back and PULMAN being handed the captain's armband, the Oystermen started brightly, with PULMAN and VAHID both guilty of missing early chances created by the industrious HEARD and WISKER, which on another night been converted and we could have gone to the bar and watched England (or not).
SHERMAN made his intentions cle... Continue reading ...

Report by steveparsons WTFC took the lead in only 3 minutes, when a good cross by CORY, saw PULMAN beat the keeper at the near post to tuck the ball away.The keeper 'rolled around a bit' trying to claim a foul but the ref was having none of it 0-1.
Minutes later CORY again tried to whip in a low cross which was hand balled, some saying it was a penalty.
The free kick by WISKER was played in low, eluded the defence and SOUTON was at hand at the far post to poke it home 0-2.
Chances came think a... Continue reading ...

It took Whitstable a long time to get into their stride in this game. I'm not sure what the formation was last Saturday, but the combination of Denly and Gooding in the middle of the park looked disjointed: it's kind of the reverse of the Lampard-Gerrard problem in that Denly and Gooding are too similar to play alongside eachother, and both lack pace. But if the Manager is to accommodate Louis Smith, Denly and Lloydy, as well as satisfying Gooding's desire to continue playing football, then... Continue reading ...

First off an apology to Dave Soutan as I thought he was Craig White in Tuesday's game. Soutan played again today and shored up the middle of the park with Dan Wisker whose stock is rising by the game. Manager Mark Lane faces a luxury problem: the squad looks strong, but it is unlikely that he will be able to keep everyone. There are some difficult decisions to be made, and rather him than me! Whitstable look like team reborn. They played some first class football today and could have beaten ... Continue reading ...

Finally! At the third time of asking, Whitstable finally lift the shield that honours the footballing legend that is Bruce Smith, and even better: his grandson, Louis Smith, played a big part in securing victory (despite his penalty miss). For me, it was a game of two halves. Herne Bay had the better part of the first half showing some crisp pass and move. With Seags seconding Simon Halsey in the dug out, Jake Gess in the holding midfield role and Danny Lawrence displaying some trickery... Continue reading ...
