Being an old Willaston player myself I saw yesterday as a great way to get back to where it all began for me as a player, a fair while ago now i must admit. What i witnessed was a complete disregard for that old saying "pride in the jumper". All i saw and heard was a bunch of blokes abusing each other, not willing to go in and get the footy when it was there turn. There so called "big game" players went missing when the heat was on with one of them not even bothering to chase his opponent out of defence, preferring to sit at home in the confines of the goal square.
Plain and simply the coaching staff of Willaston were out coached. Seelanders ability not to make any moves whatsoever shows what the club has got to work with this season. 5 minutes to go into the last quarter, what a great time to put someone different on Centrals full forward, after hes already kicked 10 goals. That was one of many that left me and my mate that tagged along with me scratching our heads.
There are some players in that Willaston side who dont warrant a-grade footy, lets be honest.They are only there for the royalties after the game. I hope that those "big game" players i talked about previously donated there little envelopes back to the club; cause if they thought they deserved any sort of recognition for a performance like that they need to take a good hard look at themselves.
I really shouldnt of expected much more as looking through the results who have Willaston beaten lets be honest. The first sign of any sort of heat or competition the Willaston side of years past would of stepped up to the plate, this new side went into their shells yesterday and it was there for all to see. The exodus of cars at 3 quarter time was testimony to that.
I cant wait to read the responses, or should i say excuses from Pinchitter and Daysofourlives for what i saw yesterday. They were very quick to run me down a couple of weeks ago when i was last on this blog.
I went back to the club yesterday boys hoping to see a good game against a cross town arrival; what i saw and heard was a team of blokes abusing each other and not willing to do the team things. It's like a cancer it spreads very quickly, Seelander needs to put a stop to this as it has been brewing for a number of seasons. I heard alot of abuse yesterday from the sidelines, with the two main culprits not making many friends amongst the playing group. After listening to Seelanders 3 qtr time address im not sure he can talk to the boys loud enough for his message to be heard.
i was there also and wfc were smashed in every position bar nottle at full back and lone hand by harvey in the middle, the tigers were great from start to finish and the donnybrooks had no answers on the day.
a 15 goal smashing would have been a hard pill to swallow for any player in the team so who cares if they were frustrated with their efforts all this other rubbish your going on a about is just an uneducated spectators opinion which you are entitled to.
speaking to the players after the game they were disappointed with efforts and respectful of how good centrals were on the day which is far from the kemotherapy penuts like you suggest they need.
Hopefully the result will ensure you don't attend any more games if your the type of supporter willaston has to rely on when things don't go to plan, they don't need people who just jump on the bandwagon when they win and try derail it when they don't.
