FOGS THOUGHTS:

Firstly, last week was another case of getting the job done. Job not done particularly fantastically but happy with the overall performance from us. Kept the ball very well (apart from Rusty) and the only real danger to our goal would of been from a mistake on our own behalf. Still work to be done and we aren't too far away from the finished article, but positive performance none the less. Tireless performances from Darren, Alex, James and Clarkey to name a few. We got the job done, 3 points and a clean sheet on a very hot day.

Reserves hit for 5 from a very strong Bletchingdon side, who will be looking for promotion this year no doubt. Plenty of positives to take from this and good luck to the reserves this weekend. You will grind out points in a tough league this year, it's just all about being confident and continuing to work hard for each other.

Onto this week and the same old Aston story with the selection. A fair few missing, myself included, which means a reshuffle with the first team squad. Players coming back in include Vince, Molony, Sam Rowe and Warren the pig. Luckily the quality and depth is something that we will rely on this year, and especially for this game, which will be another tough fixture. Stonesfield have always given us a good game, and their early season results reflect their ability to go forward with 14 goals in 3 games. We will need to be organised throughout, and especially defensively. If we make ourselves hard to score against, and the attacking players are on song to "do the business" the other end 3 points won’t be far away. This will be a tough fixture so we need to not be over confident with our start and do the basics correctly, the rest will follow. We have a week off next week, so let’s leave everything on the pitch and keep the momentum going.

Good luck lads! Sorry I can't be there to rally the troops, but stick together as a unit and I'm confident the 3 points will come.
