Message from Mick ..... and the pain goes on and on and....

Dear Coxhoe Branch,

Up until Birmingham scoring, they had only had one shot. There was not a lot in it in first half.
But when you concede a goal on 39 minutes, it does knock the stuffing out of you. We started well in the second half, we had a chance early on then.
Kelvin Davis was superb. He made two or three great saves.
They got a goal from a free-kick, and I'm not so sure it was a free-kick. When it was put in Danny Collins was barged in the back.
I'm not too happy about the goal - the way it was conceived and finished; but after that they have had more chances to be fair.
We always had the opportunity at 1-0 and they were nervous up until the end. We were still in the game because of that.
We didn't really have any goal threat. Stephen Elliott made an impact as did Rory Delap, but we didn't have too many goalmouth chances.
Rory's a good player and he proved today what a good player he will be for us.
It gets harder to talk about it [the defeats]. I don't think there was too much between the teams today and I don't think there has been between us and the teams above us. But you can always argue the points difference.
You need to have a goal threat to win games, which we didn't really have that today.

All the best,

Mick

Mel, the only thing MM leaves us scratching is our heads, and he's been doing that since the day he took charge and put Mickey Gray to right back.

It was obvious then that at the top level he hasn't a clue. It make s you wonder how we ever got out of the CCC in the first place.
