What a funny game football can be. Only a few days ago I’m weighing up possible loan options and within a week two injuries mean that I’m back in the firing line after coming on against Sheffield United.
The result itself was disappointing, similar to the Plymouth game this felt like a game that was there for the taking. Conceding a goal within a minute wasn’t ideal but the game was made more frustrating as we actually managed to get ourselves back ...

Well it was quite a thrilling end to the week after a quite bizarre yet enthralling encounter against Reading; a game that literally had everything but unfortunately there was only a point to show for our efforts.
I actually have to be honest in that I missed Reading’s opening goal. I was inside speaking to Poomy after his nasty fall in the opening minutes but, by all accounts, it sounds like one of the most ridiculous decisions ever given and one that I&rsq ...

A good week ended with a disappointing result and performance, by all accounts, as we lost 0-2 away to Sheffield Wednesday.
The week itself was an odd one for me, after all of the squad having some time off Friday through Monday I returned early on Tuesday to find myself in a squad to fly off to Valencia for one night and a game against the Spanish giants on the Wednesday morning. The trip went very smoothly, it was a young squad we took over there - in fact I was the oldest mem ...

A break is upon us which has meant a gruelling week of training followed by a few days off.
The training itself consisted of Tuesday and Wednesday being football-based and gym-based and then, for a change, on Thursday we found ourselves in a boxing gym in St. Albans being put through our paces by a trainer there. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who felt a bit sore the next day!
We also had a reserve game earlier in the week wh ...

A great end to the week as we get the better of Ipswich in a thrilling game at the vic. Although the winner came late on I don’t think there could be many watching the game who could argue that the win wasn’t deserved. On another day it could quite comfortably been 4 or 5 had Jobi’s chance gone in or the penalty appeal been awarded in the first half along with a few other chances that went begging.
It’s unusual for me to single out any pla ...

Unfortunately not the desired result after a good week's training - the loss to Forest was a blow in a game where there was little to separate the two teams. A draw probably a fairer result in my eyes. Once again I’m sure we’ll pick ourselves up and bounce back on Tuesday night against Darlington.
It was a good week for me as I played in my first game since the end of last season. It was in a reserve match against Leyton Orient at Brisbane road. I have ...

A pleasing week for all involved with WFC; a fine performance from our younger pro’s midweek and a thoroughly deserved victory over Charlton yesterday.
I think it’s fair to say too that the new style of football we displayed was widely appreciated by all those who were there.
There was also another boost with the signing of Greg Raziak. It was only a brief appearance against Charlton but he quickly showed his ability in the a ...

As hoped, when the pressure was on the lads produced a good performance and came away with a creditable point at Crystal Palace - a point which could quite easily have been three on another day. I think most are in agreement that Crystal Palace will be contenders this season so I think it sets a good benchmark for games ahead.
It’s been a good week of training for the lads, after defeat last week the boss was keen to make sure we went into the Palace game with no stone ...

A disappointing week on the field for the lads after suffering defeats to Barnet and MK Dons.
I went up to Milton Keynes on Wednesday and despite the defeat there were some encouraging signs for the Palace game next week - although from what I understand there were less promising signs from the Barnet game yesterday.
That being said I remember years gone by where our pre-season games haven't quite gone to plan, in terms of results, and then we've started the sea ...

A busy week at WFC with Darius making the move up north and with the club and the local paper at war with each other - there's not a moment's peace right now!
Regarding the Darius transfer, it's a shame on a personal level because Darius was a popular figure amongst the lads and the fans alike. I can only assume the offer was too good to turn down and with football how it is, money talks so to speak. Again we wish him all the best.
On a personal note this has be ...
