August 2022
Quite the month! At times, some brilliant football, with the opening two games making me think it could be a cake-walk. The two draws were hard earned, but to only lose twice in a packed month, with such a small squad was a great achievement for us. The 7-0 drubbing in the FA Vase can't be ignored. We were battered from start to finish, but it was all about resting players. Was it the right call? I'm not sure, but we were running on empty come the end of the month, going all out in the cup wasn't really a priority. The 5-2 defeat was heartbreaking. I'll let the screenshot do the talking:
Nico Butroid is the stand-out player thus far, chipping in with five assists (and five yellow cards). He's the only consistent run out too. The squad lacks any kind of natural fitness and stamina, so we're in a constant state of rotation. With September looking a bit more friendly to the players legs, I'm hopeful we can charge forward with this form. We've formed a backroom team. It's not a good one, I'd even say it's a bad one, but it'll do the job for now. We'll look to try and fill out the squad to allow for a more consistent line-up, but for now, we are top of the league. Let's see how long it lasts.
