Report by Hunty:
A mainly academy team apart from van der Kwaak, Murty, Hodges, Brayson!! I counted 3 RRRRRRRSSSSS fans in total including the coach driver!!
First Half
We had a few attempts at goal - but keeper not having to make any saves - sound familiar??
Then they broke through and Alford who made Caskey look Anorexic on a bad day fell over VD keeper - penalty - he scores 1-0!! (Alford scored) Stevenage look like scoring 2 or 3 before half time but apply Royals finishing!!!
Second Half
We start brighter - Brayson, Smith go close but no luck then usual defensive mix up gives second goal away to a bloke called Kersey!
Then Vd flaps and almost gives 2 goals away - complete crap!!
Hodges in central midfield makes a good run & goes close. Murty goes off moaning about how bad he was(makes a change from us) Tyson on Francis knocked out - Oh sorry wrong Tyson!! he looks quick but does not do much!
Brayson has 2-3 attempts on goal - unlucky(honest)
Then that crap bloke who can not score umm - Arkins scores with a good finish! - I asked Dillon why he & Beesley are on transfer list " Managers decision" - Nuff said!!
Stevenage had another couple of chances as did we but no luck!!
THE TEAM!!!
VD Kwaak - one save good - gave away pen,flapped at others- BYE!
Hadland - Promising attacking play - dillon did his nut a couple of times about defensively poor he was -
Smith(chris) looked calm & collected at back
Lockwood - ok but a bit of a Barry at times!
Sumner - got stuck in - a future Parky?
Murty - did not do much but moan about how bad he was!
Beesley - Not involved much in central midfield
Brayson - Usual loads of effort - usual end result
Arkins - worked hard & goal -cheers then
Gee - Dillon/Bell both raved how good he was - did not look that good
Tyson on for Murty - looks quick and that was that!
