Fine start, but I see IC’s point about mistakes. Seen highlights of most teams now, and haven’t come across any frighteners yet ! BUT, Notts County have 3 excellent attacking players who I’m sure IC will be have a big think about over his Xmas Pud ! Reeves is a tenacious Billy Bremner type with a great shot, Wootton is a tall CF who is great in the air, but also has clever feet on the floor, and Roberts is a slippery match-winner of real skill. But we have the talent to spoil their appetite for their Xmas Pud as well.....

There must be a lot of terracing, seating, and/or roofing that might be for sale at Boston United’s excellent York Street ground. As The Walks needs quite a lot of improvement considering the level we have now reached and hope at least to consolidate, shouldn’t we be interested in acquiring some stock, with that in mind ? Finance permitting, of course....

OK, I relent. My suggestion for funding success in the National League has been beaten, I have to admit, by the Chairman’s hope for funding. Mine was basically £7.50 per week, but his request for £5 per week, ( ie £20 per month) from 700 supporters is more affordable for most people, and he’s asking for 700 donors. I go with that. This awful period will reduce the income of many people, but most should still be able to afford the price of a coffee and a biscuit. The competitive ability of the team is in our hands. IT IS OUR CHOICE whether we have the most successful season possible. Of course, the donations must be regular, and the DD details are already on site. Don’t go to matches if it is not safe, but go to all of them when it is. Let’s make the first objective to beat the York attendance of 4,000 !!

A word to all players, all levels. In the current environment, not shaking hands before a match is a good idea, and being well observed all over the country. BUT - it’s a pointless exercise if all sorts of kissing and cuddling occurs on a goal being scored or at the end of a match with team-mates and opponents alike. That, it appears to THE FONT, is also taking place all over the country, every game I’ve seen.....Don’t get that, at all....

Chester, Boston, and Brackley all look to have tricky fixtures this weekend, and for a long-shot I think Curzon A. might frighten York. They looked a good side at the Walks, despite the score, and although in a lowly position have had some surprising results. I thought they looked good here earlier in the season....

Must be “W” formation, because that’s how they lined up then.....
Stretten; Mackey, Gidman; ?, Howe, ? ; Baxter, Davies, Bridges, Wignall, Jones.
Any fellow old buggers able to fill in the Question marks ?

Congratulations to Royston FC for their victory in the FA Trophy yesterday, taking out Ebbsfleet United, our opponents in the previous round. Looking at cup results in general, and taking nothing from Royston, there is an obvious trend that the higher up you go in Cup competitions, especially the FA Cup, the lower the interest in the competition. What used to be known as “shocks”,( and indeed they were), are no longer real surprises, let alone shocks, with players routinely rested for the important league fixtures coming up. Pity, but now a fact....

Injury update, anyone ?

I appreciate what Steve the groundsman said on an earlier post, ( that the pitch should be fine for the top of the table clash), but even with my glass half full for the first time in 2020, I can’t remotely imagine how the match can go ahead as I look at photos on Facebook of the ponds all over The Walks itself, and hear the ruddy rain trying to knock a hole in my conservatory roof for what seems the 50th day on the trot. Fingers crossed, of course, but we must have a helluva drainage system in the stadium !!

On football in general, and KL in our case, it was great to hear Pep Guardiola, in answer to another of these complicated questions about “formations”... “What is the thinking behind today’s formation (sic) ?”. Following a mystified shrug of his shoulders he said, “Nothing - sometimes we have 3 , sometimes 5, and sometimes 7. We just try to pass the ball and score goals ! The players move !” I’ve always thought that only in Subbuteo do these formations matter, because on the grass pitch the players MOVE ! Hope KLTFC keep passing the ball and scoring goals ! Don’t think you’ll see Pep talking balderddash with Carragher and Neville any time soon. Talking point for a drab Sunday afternoon !!

Just had a look at the Membership benefits on the Club site - Could the inclusion of “non-club” benefits be advantageous ? Perhaps tickets to a game at a higher level ? Or vouchers for a money-off or half price to a local hostelry for a meal ? Cinema tickets ? Concert tickets ? Just a thought. Can’t help thinking out of the box cos I don’t have a box !.......

Another excellent performance. Our front eleven are currently proving to be too good for everyone. BUT - Any news on Adam Marriott ? A very important question, I’m sure we would all agree.....

Happy New Year to all those interested in KLTFC, including those still only thinking about coming to see this excellent team in action.... Special thanks to Steven Cleeve, IC and Mr Bastock, (it hasn’t gone un-noticed how you “ping” a new ball into play when one is heading down Tennyson Avenue after a Hawk-launch ! Hard and low please Hawk, in 2020 ! Not forgetting our fine team , and particularly it’s terrific on the floor pass and move football ! As well as NY greetings, a special thank you to Mr Chairman for his superb sponsorship of our club, ambition for its progress, and.... his humorous programme notes. Steven - Don’t let the buggers get you down..... Off now for a third Crafty Hen - the last one before the toast !!!

Can’t have any over-confidence vs Leek Town. They are joint top of their league and haven’t lost a home game all season. ALSO - Sutton Coldfield, who are 2nd from bottom of the same league, last night knocked Kettering Town out of the FA Cup, so playing at Leek’s home ground may be problematic. Our regular performance will be needed, and ought to be enough......
