This week saw the Albion being knocked out of the season’s first cup competition. Despite leading at half time 2-1, a forgettable and shambolic second half performance saw old Southern Premier league champions, Portland FC comeback to win 6-3 in the Surrey FA cup.
Last week’s pitch : Gave a returning McPhee plenty of opportunity to hide his latest dirty protest.
“Man of Match†was cut and dry, for the first time in a while. Attacking duo Nick Milne and Harry Carlile were third and second with 2 and 3 votes respectively. Whilst the out and out winner was returning centre back, Alek with 4 votes.
The fact Alek won and we conceded 6, tells all you need to know about the rest of the team’s performance.
With the ground being in the back of beyond (well Bromley) and on a pitch never previously graced by veterans Don, Dave and Stew (despite 30 plus years of Albion service between them), it was inevitable we’d lose a few of the team on the way!
With this in mind, Walter voted for himself in this week’s Henri Leconte. Arriving 5 minutes after the game had started, having gotten lost somewhere between Shirley and Beckenham and having driven past the ground more than twice.
In other voting the pitch was nominated, for having “comically long grassâ€. Their team collectively received 2 votes, one for their strange conversation regarding their teammates ginger pubes and one for “all their team†– which could have been for any number of things.
The way out winner, was Ross. Despite a start to the game which could have been described as anything from “busyâ€, “lively†and “probingâ€, 15 minutes into the game Ross left the field of play for an impromptu rest. Thus giving Bill all the impetus he needed to bring himself on in a forward position in search of his first Albion goal.
