SUFC 2022/23 Game #31
Difficult to sum up that Rotherham defeat. After a rip roarer on Saturday against Burnley. I think I just feel - it's all knife edge stuff. Catch a break. Get some gee up. Confidence grows. The players think they can do anything. If they're on the other side of the knife edge - they think they can't do a thing.
Sure, the other teams want to win as well. Sure, they work on things to nullify us. We can be a bit one dimensional. That game just felt pedestrian. None of the relentless recycle and repeat phases. Very little build between the lines. Relying too much on Norwood cross field pingers to the wing backs. No one trying to slip anyone in. We had chances. But, it felt like we were barely in the box.
Pedestrian sums it up.
So, that was a nice recovery session the day after up at Handsworth. No rain. A bit of sun. Double header with just long enough in between to be driven to the Chip Shop to grab lunch. Sat in the stand between 10:40 & ten past three. Talking bollocks with the CBF.

Great way to spend a day.
As "keen" readers may recall, I'm currently on a Minimal Ale Schedule. And Blogging about my health. Or rather … I've not felt as healthy as this for years … so, I'm Blogging about what I fuel with.
My name is Phil, I'm a Type II Diabetic.
My BMI is 25.3.
I have not eaten any biccies, sweeties or cake since my last Blog.
I've completed Run 2 of Week 8 of Couch to 5k - essentially a 28 minute run.
My 7 day average units of alcohol is ZERO.
My 30 day average units of alcohol is Twenty Fucking Two. And, that is the problem we are working with.
I will be drinking at Cardiff City away.
Stay Tuned.
