Was a good game for the neutral. We can't complain about a point after being behind twice. Merson was clinical, Banton brainless.

Didn't really get going until we went a goal down great ball from Tom and finish from Sam for our first same XI started this game again I wasn't at the game, but l guess disregarding that it was our most hated local rivals we played, l guess that l'd have taken a point from a losing position like that. Let's take the 1 point on board and regroup for the return game on New Years Day. Today's result will be forgotten if we can go to their place and grab a victory, COYS! |

I was at the game and thought we were lucky to get a draw. Hemel had a lot more chances than us and were more of a physically imposing side. If we get a draw away, that would be a good result.
We played best when we kept the ball on the ground.

We played best when we kept the ball on the ground. agree with this completely, they had much better chances and a lot more of them. Some clinical finishing by Merson and great keeping by snedeker was the only reason we got the draw. Good result in my eyes and another point away will be a good two points to carry forward for the rest of the season |

We definitely rode our luck a bit yesterday. Hemel were comfortably the better team for the first hour and we could have conceded 4 or 5 on another day.
The team (and crowd) only came to life after the first equaliser. It was a completely different game after that and we were really in the ascendancy. Hemel still looked like carving us open, so wasn't a great surprise when they scored again against the run of play. Definitely happy with the point, especially after Zane's reckless challenge reduced us to 10 men.

Murrell-Williamson is very good at cutting back and getting a shot off but if he can't do that or get a cross in he needs to understand he has to pass back rather than try and beat several men.
When Zane's out maybe Shaquille Hippolyte-Patrick can show what he can do if he gets in ahead of Shaun

No one should be getting in ahead of Shaun, he should be the first name on the teamsheet. Player of the Season, no question.

Shaun player of the season? He's scored a couple worldies but apart from that he has been injury prone and only come of the bench. For me rhys us player of season,especially getting in the league team of the season in the paper

Well l know that this is diversifying off this topic a little bit, but still relating to Hemel, l can't see why our away game at Hemel couldn't have been played today, Saturday 29th Dec as l write this post. As far as l can see there are no NLS matches and yet everybody else is playing. It's daft. Monday there are no Buses from St Albans to Hemel and if you can't drive and rely on public transport you are stuffed ! I wonder if any other fans of other clubs are affected in a similar way and feel the same

lagerman. i have often thought that it would be an idea for us to post a list of people who are able to offer lifts to away games- i have posted this before- maybe its something we can get set up say on a Wednesday for saturday games and Sat/sun for midweek- unable to offer lifts for monday as Ive car problems. on your point about playing games, it has been traditional for us to play Boxing/NY Day-other than that dont know

Well it is what it is, probably the Bus Companies are as much to blame, if there
were Buses on Monday then it'd be no problem, l'd be there.
So as l'll still be cheering the boys on, albeit by watching the live scores on my Mobile ... COYS !!
