GTFC v Matlock match thread

Managed to see the first half last night (Don't ask!). The middle-aged Matlock fan sat three along from me asked who our number 9 was (after he'd failed to beat the keeper in virtual one on ones for the third time). When told it was Ironside he said we'd be better off with Detective Ironside complete with wheelchair. (You do have to be a certain age to appreciate that comment.....)

First impressions:- Brown looks the business. Plenty of running, good tackling and decent passing on display...

The scorer of their first goal will NEVER score that good a goal again if he lives to be 100. Our new found Matlock friend nearly had a coronary...

Neilson took his goal very well.

We still don't shoot anywhere near often enough for me...

Very few crosses put into the box...

*Disclaimer* I didn't see Mackreth's stint so that may not be the case for the full game.

Agree with those who said it was a lovely ground. Far better IMHO than several of the teams in our league i.e. Welling, Braintree, Alfreton..

You could have kept the telly banter going + told him "well I came to Matlock under the impression it was a 1980s US drama about a campaigning attorney. And turns out it's just a tiny town up a hill in the midlands".

int that right, Kojak m8?
