Yes, but lady luck didn't

Response to Ref did us some favours

 

You have to wonder about good old fashioned good fortune, it really does seem to decide who will be up the top of the table and who will be down the bottom.

Take last night, when we had a shot at goal it was squarely blocked, a little fotunately on occasions, and yet when their bloke hit's one from distance it takes a wicked deflection off the back of one of his own players straight into the top corner!! Davies had no chance. Even when you look at how the ball arrived to him you have to wonder. The fella on the wing did show some good skill to get past two defenders, but then he slips over squirting the ball along the ground, which manages to find it's way through a sea of legs untouched to the bloke who had the shot to score!! City rarely get run of the ball like that.

At the end of the day I'm happy with the point, the game was anybody's in the end, at least it means two games unbeaten which is certainly an improvement. Jack Wignall apparently did well on Saturday, he did great again last night, as did Colin Vowden. I thought the team, considering how results have been going for us, showed great attitude last night to come back from what was a lucky goal in a game upto that point Dover had not looked like scoring in.

Lastly. I hope the poster further down the board who said Stafford were relegation material (and in doing so devalued our win) noticed that they beat Newport County last night, a team many think to be the best in this league, so our victory over Stafford wasn't so bad eh?
