<BUMP> Be there!

I'm on holiday so would appreciate some match reports from supporters who were there please. What was the attendance, who stood out etcetera

It was a bit of a After the Lord Mayors show performance following the excellent display against the Wobblers, quite a few personal changes and St Ives were the better side for much of the game. Gave away a couple of soft goals but to be fair Goldilocks took the 1st one very well.
It's another 90 mins game time, no real stand out performances for me but I'm possibly not the best person to comment I'll leave that to others.
Didn't hear the crowd but I'd guess at 300 which given the rain and it being 1st day of factory fortnight wasn't bad, the good thing crowd wise is I've seen some already from Nene Park days who didn't venture down to the D&D.

Same here Andy i,ve also seen some that have not come since the Nene park days which is good

I thought John Dean looked lively when he came on (number 14).

as brownie says,,,,bit of a non entity game..no real stand out performances..punter looked ok at the back(apart from the first goal)fairlamb has given lots of effort in the 2 games ive seen,gyasi stand out player for me(ben farrel was good against ntfc,but didnt see much of him against st ives) downside(contreversial ,i know)..i dont get dillon,i dont see how he improves the squad,i would much prefer tom lorraine up with nabs.ollie b-hill,another one i dont get,fits and farts for me,when he switches on is a good player but often wanders out the game,,heared bully a few times during st ives game say "ollie,you aint doing nufink"..........only my opinion,feel free to knock me down,i really hope they prove me wrong ps the NTFC game was one of our finest games

One player I certainly will not miss.
