No matter if Tommy gets his class 2 driving license to park one of the shuttle buses in front of net on Wed, we still need to score a goal, and may need 2. Or 4 if we concede 2.
A better team vs Halifax, just couldn't finish and was able to slice through their defence with ease when we got a step up front.
That said, we've proven we're the best team in the league with players and starting XI and tactics and ability to close games out, and are in the finals already for the league because of that quality.
Let everyone else try and play catchup the rest of the season, I'm just fine, after the CC, with a proper balance of solid play which I know will continue, and secondary player development, so that the guys on the bench get honest playing time this last month or so, for their and the club's benefit next year. We will lose some players, as will other teams next year, but if we have a head start on getting a handful of developing guys that are mainly on the bench, quality playing time in league games, we will be better set up for next year, as all the teams the rest of this season roll out their top 11 the rest of the year to try and win to get to where we are already at.
Wednesday and hopefully the Finals though trumps any sort of league championship by 10 fold, though, results wise, for the history of the club and legitimacy of the league. Which is why it baffled me we had so many regulars start and play a full 90 yesterday. Only when Brown and Minatel got seonc d half knocks, did they get subbed, and left a sub out there unused.
