If Uxbridge were accused of over celebrating 10 days ago, today they were guilty of over-scoring as they took full advantage of a completely gutless display from a well-backed Leatherhead side.
I can't describe many of these goals. Firstly, I am too disappointed and secondly, I missed half of them. Two goals spring to mind though. Their first goal came after Uxbridge's No 4 misplaced a pass and we gained possession. Rather than build anything we played an lazy ball forward that was intercepted and they went on to score for their possession. Their fourth goal came from our corner and a good ball in needed someone brave to get a head on it. Bravery wasn't on the table today and he pulled his head away and Uxbridge marched up the pitch and score.
No head injuries for Uxbridge today. That would need us to get near enough to touch them; not a bit of it as our hosts cruised around in second gear.
Into the bar at half time and some light relief as we watched the Grand National. Oh, how I wished someone would come out onto the pitch and set out a white tent around the stricken Leatherhead team and put us out of our misery as it was about to get a lot worse. By the time I emerged from the bar, walked past Sonny Wheeler who was enjoying a kebab, and got to the half way line it was 5-0.
We did dispatch a few shots – one shot even hit the bar – but in reality Uxbridge were not coming out to tread water and went on to score another five – five! - goals. You can point to not having our first choice 'keeper in goal, but if that is really the case you should be working harder to protect him, but I saw precious little of that.
Miracles do happen, but with our impressive goal difference affectively halved it is going to take a lot to make the play-offs now…
