Didn't go to yesterday's Boxing Day derby at Sittingbourne, but a strong Chatham side were well beaten by the Brickies in a match that, according to the Sittingbourne match report at least, we again were off the pace and short of options up front.
To be beaten for the twelfth successive time by local rivals must be some sort of record - I'd like to know of any other regular derby that so often ends with only one result - and must also be corrected next Saturday when they visit us.
I note on the official forum there are calls for Rob Denness to be given his chance back up front for Chatham. I'd echo this, but there were no glory days with him and Cass as some would have you believe. There is a place for Denness in the first eleven, and its on the wing. Shame he hates playing there, but we need someone with his control and eye for a pass, and most importantly, his passion. He bleeds red and black, and deserves his chance to shine. With Barnett coming back fit, it has to be Cass and Barnett leading the line - and AOB needs to get them scoring.
Chatham were undone by three goals coming from players who could have been wearing the MTS shirt yesterday - two from Reeves, who turned us down earlier in the season, and one from the apparently freescoring Hicham Akhazzan, who had a spell with us on his release from Gillingham a few years back.
Heads must not drop after this defeat. Our dubious home form is our next hurdle, with the visit of Folkestone on Tuesday a do-or-die game. Again, former Chats at the ready in the form of Darrren Smith and Siiiimon Austin, let's not get undone like a cheap Christmas sweater from Strood market. Lets show what a good weave will get you.
'Mon les Chats!!!
