Oh Dear, where to start. One player off, on, off during the day but finally not attending, Our Sub letting us down to play a local league game, leaving us a player short, a fine and a 2 point penalty to start the evening against Thurrock.
I think the mood through the uncertainty of making a full team left everyone a little stressed and as in the Knockout cup, Thurrock turned up big time to give us a really hard time on the board. Players who normally do the business for us fell short and it rounded off a perfectly bloody aweful day with a punishing 9 - 3 loss for Maldon. Everyones trying so hard, I dont know quite why we are struggling as we definately have enough quality players, its just not falling into place so far this year.
