nine_iron Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 A bit sad Duffy, Hull and Netto are not getting any games. Hopefully they can get recognised for good performances in the reserves. It is mainly down to the preffered formation of 4-1-2-1-2 using a DM and AMC without wingers. But with any squad there are preferred and not preferred players and formations. I can say with confidence that Luke Doyle is about to get his big first team break as Netto goes away on international duty when Immingham play their first leg at home in the Humber Cup knockout rounds.

Tactic Master Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I think Mike Nevo's problem is the defence... When they do rubbish it puts tons of pressure on Nevo and he just isn't good enough yet to cope with that. However, when we do brilliant in defence like that recent 5 - 0 win, that's when Mike Nevo performs Regardless of results, I seem to be 1st choice no matter what.

Even has a contender for goal of the season.... defenders never win with towering headers though .... but there is still time to pop in a screamer from outside the 18!!! haha.

EDIT: The match summary said he was dismissed but he wasnt, no idea and I did not think to double check! The game does make the odd mistake I guess.

nine_iron Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Looking good. Best defense, 5 points of the leaders and a win at Hull, all very promising It needs the top teams to falter a few more times, Cleethorpes have been over achieving beyond belief and I doubt it can continue. Grimsby Borough have slipped up of late and Bottesford Town have recovered from a slow start. Immingham have just drawn too many times, they need to start winning those games. It has been a case that the opposition score just once, a penalty and Immingham score just once and draw the game. They have lost about 6 points (over 3 games) to penalties doing that, if they can stop conceding so many penalties and score more themselves then they have a chance to top the league!

nine_iron Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 The Immingham fans have almost stopped celebrating the momentous win at the KC, now focus turns back to improving on the 5th position in the league as the return fixtures begin. Additionally the leagues winter break is approaching in a few weeks, in this time the Humber Cup concludes and the FA Trophy starts. When the league resumes the FA cup starts up (might be the other way round lol). Currently the qualifying rounds of the FA Cup are progressing, local village sides and lower league towns battle it out for games against more established sides. In the FA trophy the Championship and National League one clubs do battle. An early exit from the cups can leave a Championship or National Division 1 side with a simple schedule, do well in the cups and there can be some fixture congestion, just like one or two weeks during the Humber Cup group stage. Can the Immingham squad cope with all this knockout stage pressure? Will the winter break prove to be adequate in recharging the performances? Can the strikers start finding the net with greater frequency? Will the defence hold out as before? So many questions! So much action to come!

nine_iron Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 I love it that one of our biggest offensive threats is the very defensive minded DM David Ginsberg. Most are penalties, he seems to be the go to guy from the spot. Add on that 35 yard goal and the season long trend of good performances means you should be pretty happy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Player Interviews #1 With the winter break looming at the end of the month and a few days off after tomorrows game at North Ferriby the squad is a mixed bag of feelings. The team is expected to turn up, play there part but generally roll over and let the premiership side progress into the semi finals. However the squad harmony and moral at Grange Lane is rumoured to be at an all time low as the club is languishing in the relegation zone after two thirds of the league season. Immingham manager has decided to help the players blow off steam. They have been allowed to do some exclusive interviews for this blog. This has not happened until now due to the age of the main squad, the expectations heaped upon them and the sheer number and frequency of fixtures. Add on social and home lives it is to be expected that the players are somewhat protected from media intrusion. As the squad has proven itself to be wise beyond its years time and time again this season as well as being able to cope with the pressure and exposure such interviews give I have been allowed to do this for any willing players. I have also been given the opportunity to print any future interviews a player wished to give. Each player has chosen to participate, no one is expected to but within a day of opening up the offer I have had a strong response. I had prepared four questions I was to ask each player and then open the last question up to suit the players unique situation. Using my media degree learnt interviewing skills I teased out the key issues (OK I left the floor open a bit here for them to fill in the blanks as I barely scraped a 3rd when I graduated) First through my door was the giant 18 year old Jake Stothard, specially made crutches and all. He is currently resting for two more weeks with a severe twisted ankle. His buoyant and almost cocky nature was apparent from the start. I was sure to have my hands full here! Stothard is Doncaster born but is eligible through proximity clauses in the nationality laws. He has played in 19 competative fixtures, scored 5 times but is yet to win a man of the match. Question 1. What do you find most satisfying or least satisfying about life with the club? Stothard: Goals, I like goals. I like big ones small ones but most of all scoring spectacular ones. I don't like passing, end of. But I can't quite decide. My response: Yes you can score well, one in every four matches! But I am surprised, I have seen you in training and you are a superb passer of the ball, I cannot believe you have only had two assists so far! I hope to see some of that skill in a match and I bet the manager is yelling at you constantly to set someone else up? Stothard: .... He smirks at me from across the table and I hastily move onto the next question. Question 2. What is your proudest achievement so far? Stothard: My screamers vs Louth Town and Hall Road Rangers My response: I agree those were two fine, well taken goals. My money is on your volley for goal of the season! Question 3. Who are you really getting along with or who do you dislike? I don't like anyone, but no one dares confront me... I wonder why? My response: Not sure why, I really cannot think. I have heard people do respect your skills on the football pitch, they frequently comment on your deft touch and good technique. Question 4. What are your hopes and aspirations in football within this country/league structure? Stothard: I want to captain my country, be the all time top scorer and basically win the league. And being goal of the season would be great too. My Response: I do think you have a good future in football, you are still a way behind in the scoring charts but your injury has hampered that. I expect you might get a chance to win some caps in the near future as well as stick plenty more in the net! Stothard: You better believe it! Question 5. Who will get player of the season? Stothard: Me. Are there any other contenders? My response: Well there is a whole team of players, I personally do think you can acheive a lot more as the season reaches its climax. Get well soon and good luck when you return to training in a few weeks. Stothard ducks under the door frame and hobbles out the office and heads off to join his team mates in the club lounge. I get the sense he is quite frustrated by his long injury layoff and nothing but eager to get back to playing again. As he leaves I get an email saying Lincoln have recently shown interest in his skills. It wont be long before he finds out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Player Interviews #2 Next up was tall 16 year old Kevin O'Harper. A plucky young lad from Skegness south of the country. His Celtic roots are clear as he enters the room. The young central midfield has played a part in 21 fixtures this season, been a key part of a lot of build up play with some slick passing as well as assisting in three goals. He is yet to find the net in a competitive fixture! Question 1. What do you find most satisfying or least satisfying about life with the club? O'Harper:Overall, it's pretty great. We're doing great in the league and I've been playing pretty well. I'd just like to sneak a goal in one of these games. I scored in the friendly against the reserves so I know I've got the ability if I get the chance. My response: You seem to be key in working the ball forward, your 67% pass rate, 90% tackle rate and 93% header rate mean you help the team win the ball back frequently. Hopefully that makes you feel better? O'Harper: I still really want to experience scoring a goal in a league or cup match, to me nothing will match that feeling. I do know I contribute but I still feel a pang of jealousy when someone else finds the back of the net, even if I played a key role in making the goal. Question 2. What is your proudest achievement so far? O'Harper: The MoM against my hometown of Skegness! Haha! My response: I heard they ran a piece about you in the local school paper, nothing good said however Question 3. Who are you really getting along with or who do you dislike? O'Harper: I get along really well with Ben Talbott. Feeding him the goal against Skegness was pretty awesome for both of us. My response: I know that win meant a lot, your friends and family from the area were all there to see the game. Made up most of the crowd from what I heard (only 20 saw the game from inside the ground)! I still think you wish it was you who had scored, especially after seeing fellow midfielders net that game. O'Harper: The whole experience really made up for not finding the net on that occasion. Question 4. What are your hopes and aspirations in football within this country/league structure? O'Harper: Ultimately I'd like to represent England and help win an international Cup. I just hope that I'm good enough to make the squad some day. Maybe if England isn't interested in me, I'll declare for Ireland! My response@:You never know, I watch a lot of training going on at this club and I see potential in all the squad. I just hope you get noticed one day! Be glad you have many years ahead to impress. Question 5. What's the worst thing about playing for Immingham? O'Harper: The food! Ugh! My response: I admit the club does get most of its food discounted from the local food factories, it means we can pump more into hiring nice coaches to take you across the river to play in Hull. The bridge toll is not free either remember! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nine_iron Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Player Interviews #3 As soon as Han Sol Geni strutted into my office I knew his kind already, thinks he is James Bond but really isn't. At just 16 he can blame the hormones but he is really kidding no one. Every team has one of these and Han is ours. His poor to average performances have been countered by two goals in the 17 first team outings. Question 1. What do you find most satisfying or least satisfying about life with the club? Han Sol Geni: The most satisfying thing at the club is the lady masseuse the least satisfying in the strikers ability of not being in the right place at the right time when i cross a ball. and the Managers inability to play wingers is really messing with my mojo Question 2. What is your proudest achievement so far? Han Sol Geni: Playing for Luxembourg U21s and being in the starting 11 for Immingham. My response: Congratulations on you youth caps, also congrats for your stunning goal against Skegness. Making it dip under the bar but over the keeper like that was a superb piece of skill on your part. Question 3. Who are you really getting along with or who do you dislike? Han Sol Geni: I dislike the manager for playing me out of position My response: I understand your concern, I hear the squad is retraining players to fit into new positions to better fit with the preferred formation. I do hope soon the manager will try some wing play, I do find this "down the middle" game a little boring at times. We shall have to wait and see. Question 4. What are your hopes and aspirations in football within this country/league structure? Han Sol Geni : Well isn't that obvious to win everything with Immingham and take them on to bigger and better things My response: I think the recent turn in form and the way our rivals have stumbled recently can make that happen. Question 5... Before I could ask my final question Han Sol Geni interrups me. Han Sol Geni: This is a question for you the journalist who do you think is the best player on the team and also if you had to who would you... (I interrupted him before he could finish) My response: OK kid time to go, I have lots of work to do! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine_iron Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Player Interviews #4 Another youngster pops in next, I guess these guys are eager for media exposure. I doubt my little online blog is front page material but at least the fans will have a good read. Martyn James from Market Rasen is a well rounded, promising striker who is good both off and on the ball. This is reflected in his 3 man of the match performances from a recent up turn in form. Question 1. What do you find most satisfying or least satisfying about life with the club? Martyn James: Playing with so many other players of the same age means we have a real tight bond and coming into training is something we all look forward to. It is not really work and feels like hanging out with friends in the park as a kid. My response: With so many players of the same age its obvious you would have met some of the others before and have similar interests. I wonder if that does alienate some of the older squad members perhaps. Question 2. What is your proudest achievement so far? Martyn James: Winning away to Hull in the cup was a proud day for everyone at the club and really gives us the appetite to be successful and experience more days like that. Also the 5-0 in Skegness was a wonderful day and after the game the players went to the beach and, although the sea was freezing cold, we all braved it and had a right laugh. Even the gaffer joined us. My response: Yes I heard about Mr Hockless getting his trousers dirty and wet! I wonder why I was not invited, I guess I was having fish and chips after playing mini golf while that happened. Question 3. Who are you really getting along with or who do you dislike? Martyn James: Well I sometimes feel that Ben Smith would be better off elsewhere. His is much older than the other lads and sometimes looks a bit isolated off the pitch. I wouldn't say I actually dislike him but as younger player having the only senior player at the club in the same position can be frustrating, although, to be fair, he is a very good performer. I am determined to become the number one striker at the club and will continue to try and prove to the gaffer that I am worth my place in the side. and if that means Smith moves on then even better. My response: I have been impressed with your turn in form, you had a period where you were winning points for the club almost on your own I think you would be better forging a stronger bond with a senior player, Ben's wealth of experience is something you can draw on, even the student eventually becomes the master! Lets hope you can build on your 6 goals going forward. Question 4. What are your hopes and aspirations in football within this country/league structure? Martyn James: It sounds somewhat cliched, but I want to play for club and country as often as possible and win as many trophies as I can. I do try and remember though that I only just starting my career and can't see a move away from Immingham in the near future. I don't want to look too much into the future and prefer to concentrate on the next game so I can help the lads try and catch Grimsby and snatch the league title. My response: Yes the next game is a biggie, its probably nearly time we wrapped this up so you can go rest. Question 5. The current manager seems intent on playing without wingers. What do you, as a striker, think about this and do you think it harms your chances of scoring goals with little service from wide positions. Martyn James: I have to admit I prefer playing with wingers and when I joined at the start of the season I really struggled for goals and I felt this to be part of the reason. I do respect the gaffer though and will do my best regardless of the tactics. I do think I am slowly getting used to our play style and will be looking for a strong finish to the season. My response: We can all see the change in form, he is sticking to his tactic firmly, choosing more to integrate players into it rather than fit a tactic to the squad. The whole team took time to adjust (except Stothard and Ginsberg who it benefits) and the early league form shows that. The change in form I agree is as the squad learns the style and adapts.

nine_iron Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Now thinking about it, I see why people don't confront me... My specially made crutch broke this morning. Oh dear, not good for the clubs budget. More discount fish fingers for lunch I guess More interviews to come tonight and maybe even the 2nd leg of the North Ferriby game. I will be making good progress on Saturday and Sunday however so stay tuned! I have a feeling interesting things will happen. The winter break will bring a variety of news and a transfer window! I fully expect to be in or almost in February by the end of this weekend. With lots of progress to be made it will mean there will be just 6 rounds of the league left and the remaining knockout competitions after this weekends updates. This signup is progressing a lot quicker than I expected, I hope I am providing enough detail or not going too fast so people cannot keep up! I apologise for not having a posting schedule, I have plenty enough spare time for this so far and its so exciting I just cannot wait for the next match or snippet of news. That means I have just ended up posting and posting and posting! If this is OK for you guys please let me know, if not I am always open to suggestions and improvements, so far I have incorporated as many as I can and I try to listen to what you need and want as followers. I would say if your player has not yet participated or hardly participated you should still keep reading this, I still have a few surprises up my sleeves to keep you all engaged!
