Clitheroe Today

Alvin the chipmunk · 01-05-2006, 17:24

Hello, watched the kick-a-bout today and was wondering 2 things. Who was the keeper who started for us and who was the guy wearing the number 16 shirt? (Before anybody says it, the shirts didn't match the players, eg Cooky wore Welchy's). Are they triallists/youth team players of some sort?

PS: Hobby on the touchline with the Coley mask was hilarious, as was watching the Ultras rip the Clitheroe chavs to pieces

We played 5 trailists in all today, Mike Benayima was the keeper in the first half, apparently he is Jimmy's postman but he played quite well and didn't let anything in during the warm up at all!!!

Number 16 was Julian N'Da a friend of Boco's, they used to play together at Niort in france and he is an international for the Ivory Coast, although I'm not sure at what level. I thought he was immense, I know we were playing against Clitheroe who are several divisions below us but you just know when you see a player who's just that bit special and he's it. He is the first player I've ever seen look completely comfortable and non-pluss playing at centre half with Rocky, and to top it all off he was marshalling the back four without being able to speak english!!!

The other 3 lads I didn't catch the names of but I was impressed by the number 17 up front he worked his socks off and deserved his goal even if it did come from the penalty spot.

Coley please, please, please can we sign N'da. Pretty please!!!

I agree, I was very impressed with N'Da, even if I didn't know his name. The keeper also impressed me, kept his concentration well to make a blinding save in the first half from one of Clitheroe's rare attacks. And number 17 played quite well although I was dissapointed Cooky didn't take the penalty...

The guy that took the penalty did as Cooky a cuple of times if he wanted to take it but Cooky said no.

Oh well. Remember when he scored twice against Burscough and then missed the penalty for his hat-trick? Ouch...

could someone tell me the team list please, i cant find it , or if they have a link.

Alvin the chipmunk · 01-05-2006, 19:06

Players were switched about alot mate, but basically every first team player got on and Cooky made a superb cameo. If only that free kick had creeped in...

good to know that some of the potential signings are making a good impression
