I do hope our lads are focusing on tomorrow's game against Gillingham; I just can't! Imagine this. We're 3-1 down to Crawley with 15 minutes to go. Elliot has just been sent off for 'diving'. A capacity Plainmoor is in uproar. What to do?
We're playing good flowing football but decision after decision has gone against us. If only we had a target man. We need goals, we need them now and losing isn't an option.
So this is what happens next. Bevan, Robbo, Ellis, Branston and Nicholson guard the goal with their lives. Some lovely one-touch football appears as if from nowhere - no trickery, just skill and good old-fashioned team-work. it works. Kee smashes one in. 3-2. Then another in quick succession. Our luck has changed but now we're in the 4 minutes time added on and we need another goal to clinch it. They're in possession now, looking dangerous.
But suddenly the break is on. Mansell to Zebroski - O'Kane out to Stevens, on to Wroe ---- Zebroski looking for Kee . ELLIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark has just run the length of the pitch and heads in the winning goal. The crowd goes wild. Steve Evans is crying as the final whistle goes.
Who said we need a passionate pacey agile tall target man? Perhaps we already have one. Mark, I believe, started his career as a striker. The wise man's treasure is buried beneath his feet.
