Enfield Town Updates

Hopefully this is a “safe space” where I can air my thoughts and so I need to tell you that I am gutted by that result today. Given our form, and the quality of the squad, I really thought we might make the first round this year. And, typically, them lot up the road are still going.

However I will say that performance would win 90% of games and it was mainly down to their goalkeeping heroics that we didn’t. We created plenty, the effort was there, we threw the kitchen sink at them. So I left the ground deflated but with the feeling we were unfortunate.

With a few hours of reflection, I do wonder if we missed too many key players out the starting lineup and I don’t know why Ezewele, Hayward and Morris didn’t feature. There might be a good reason but if it was purely for squad rotation that would be an error in hindsight.

Good to see over on Twitter some of the usual suspects are keeping things in perspective and calling for Paul Smith to go. I genuinely despair.

That'll learn ya. Idiots on the internet. You wouldnt see it on here....

Played well enough, their physicality caused us issues but their keeper was unreal.

Hopefully the fine isn’t too big as a result of the moron who lobbed a half full can of pop at the second goal scorer.

Great atmosphere first half in the shed, edgy but all shaking hands post match en route out.

Thats good to hear. It only takes one idiot and at the end of the day they have supported their team as we do. I think we weren't cheated or outclassed and neither were they. A proper non league game in fact, and a proper cup game. Lot of respect for everyone today

For context: Non-League Paper Man of the Match: Rhys Forster (Enfield goalkeeper).
As for the PA system, the work on the new LED floodlights has meant the speakers on the pylons at both corners of the open terrace town side of the ground aren't currently working properly. Hopefully this will be rectified shortly. Also when we originally set up the system there were four pylons on that side of the ground on the old Thorn-EMI structures, removing two sets of pylons & attached speakers has meant balancing issues and a bit of dead space around the dugouts for years.

Speak English man. Jibber speakers jabber

I thought Halesowen were unlucky not to get a draw in the end. There was plenty of endeavour and creativity shown in both the first and second half and if not for the cross bar and their goalkeeper, who knows we could have got the draw.
One or two subtle changes, next Saturday, in the Trophy game I think and we could get the start of a run going..

George Cater got MOTM today. Well deserved, I thought he was superb

Agreed. From what little I paid attention to, he looked great. Well, apart from the perm.
But, as most weeks. Jack Holmes. O. M. G.
Worth the admission fee just to watch him. The most exciting player I’ve seen down The Grove for years.

His grandparents were on FB this week looking for pre-match parking, and I believe that the extended Yeltz family sorted them out.
If they still need help, I’m happy to adopt Jack and carry him to the match every week.

What do you mean, creepy? Not even in the slightest.

You'd kill for a perm...
Mind you so would I

You’ve Westyed the fuck out of that.
