2 weeks ago, FC United hosted Rushall Olympic in what was seen as a even tight game which could go either way. However, by the end of 90 minutes, seeing us concede 4 goals I can honestly say that I have never seen such a poor performance from United in the three years I have been following them.
I think I can talk for most of the fans who attended that game in saying, it was not the fact that we lost that was disappointing it was the complete lack of passion that led once the first goal went in. The defending was woeful, and I don't think we strung 5 passes together without loosing the ball all game. There was no tempo, no urgency, no movement.. I could go on but, this is going to be a positive post!
Now, fast forward 2 weeks from that game, and the reds have claimed 2 wins on the bounce against very credible opposition in, Chorley and Blyth Spartans who thanks to Deano and Norton we managed to beat yesterday.
United now sit in 7th with games in hand and looking up. And with 2 games next week, picking up maximum points would put us right back up there and make us serious title contenders, especially if the boys can pull off a result away at Hednesford on Saturday who are currently 2nd in the league.
Can we do it?
Hasta La Victoria Siempre
