final league position...

guys,

we have 8 games left, and season-long form of course suggests 4 wins, 4 losses. but these games are against tendrig twice(2 wins, surely), dulwich twice(based on 5-1 form, sadly 2 losses), brentwood (anyones call, 1 win 1 loss), TH lynx (poss loss, but it depends on what team they bring up the M11/A14), and CVC 3, (an easy 3-0). therfore depending on the form of Dulwich (who have only played 6!), i predict 5th, (missing out by points difference on 4th)

anyone care to comment? other team comments welcome too, we know you look!

Re: final league position...

i think perhaps we should just take each game at a time and be as confident as possible and try to win them all!! forget all this bloody guessing, no point, it's our first season in the national league and i think we have done a lot better than most teams in their first season.

we could win all these games but equally we could lose all these games! lets just play the game and have fun!

i am quite sure we had a lot more fun than cambridge on sunday, despite our loss. i don't want a Leek, he's annoying.

love matt

Re: final league position...

having studied play whislt being liberoed on the bench with Rob Dov, and knowing that my foot is feeling good i predict 8-0 with some more mvp for me.
Since Christmas the whole club atmosphere and team spirit sems on the up, both training and games are much more enjoyable and the good ole days are back. Playing volleyball is fun again which is very important at any level.
I also predictthat we will dominate in all other leagues and cups cos we is DO ME SOH PEH LAAAA.

Re: final league position...

i think as long as we stick to the policy of picking the strongest team, we can do better than #6's predictions. if not, we will ruin all the good work.

Re: final league position...

who the bloody hell is no. 19?

is that a newmarket player or a secret intruder, i would really like to know??

is it a cambridge player? i know they all have huge squad numbers

either matt or #7 is correct. i predict is it the more intelligent one of the two.

lets get into them on sunday, 2 wins crucial!!

Re: final league position...

whoever no 19 is, he is clearly unaware of how well we played against brentwood using subs regularly. perhaps "no. 19" should reslise that all players have to spend time on the bench and no one likes it. the team would be nothing without a good squad and a lot of confidence. i personally spent my first 7 years at newmarket on the bench, my lack of intelligence says it is just part of the game and no reflection on ability. we have to pick a team for each opposition. keep your confidence high and stop knocking other players on the team as this just lowers the teams self-esteem.

Re: final league position...

matt,

you appear to have gone off the thread somewhat.

the OP (origianl poster, #6) stands corrected on their prediction of the brentwood score, and that of the Tendring result. luckily, i hear he is not a betting man...
this thread was merely a place for predictions on the forthcoming matches, if you dont have any opinions, then dont post.

yes we all need to take our turn on the bench, what thats got to do with you being 12 and a novice, god only knows. this is the national league, and the club policy is to play to win, in this highly competitive environment, otherwise oppositions will take advantage.

if you care to ask the team captain, then he will tell you that after the 1st set win against Bwood, i offered to stay off for the good of the team. Sorry that i didnt relay that to you at the time.

matt

Jan 25th, 2007 - 12:32 AM

Re: final league position...

I agree that perhaps i have digressed from the original talking point, but the point I am making is that using secret numbers on the message forum to give the coach some pointers but keep your identity hidden through fear of offending people is unneccesary and somewhat cowardly. from reading the "top secret" message it is clear that this is what you where trying to do. say it how it is and stop being a gay. i agree that in the national league we should play our best players and play to win. if you were at full confidence then you would deserve to be on court for every point, and i would in my oppinion put you in our top three players but on current form i would not. work on your game and your confidence, and stop worrying about refs decision and other people then you will be easily our best player in the two position

Jan 25th, 2007 - 7:05 AM

Re: final league position...

it is eight days since i comically used the #19. matt, change the record. and question, how many 2 touches was i called for on sunday? NONE. i am over it, as i have spoke to various people about it, and have been working hard in training to set the ball from a higher contact position.
thankyou for your comments that i would be in your team if i was "on form"
but spare a thought, i was playing fine until we rejigged the system, took away my hit option. Not once has one of the committee spoke to me about this change. i have been dropped unceremoniusly to the bench since the arrival of KC. the decision for BC to start every game has been made by the committee, and they are welcome to run the club anyway they see fit. obviously though, everyone has a tolerance level. the fact that i have to collect and drop off KC only adds to the drama, and can be galling, especially as its my place hes filling. My gripe with team selection isnt so much with KC, he is an awesome player, but with the decision NOT to stick to the TEAM decision we made at the start of the year to TRY win every game. we could have beat Tendring on sunday, if we picked the team to win. most people know that.

rant over. i look forward to playing a few sets on sunday in the local league.

#7

Jan 25th, 2007 - 8:36 AM

Re: final league position...

i might add that i also learnt a lesson on Sunday.

When 6 players are chosen, and there appears to be a weaker link, the rest of the teams head goes down. It ought to make them try harder, encourage the lesser light, and enjoy victory more. As #4 said (#12 local), we need a big squad. We should and could have beaten Tendring with whoever we chose. We didnt, because as a team, we didnt play well, regardless of individuals.

Having learnt from this, i elected to pick the best 6 for each set on current form. We beat BW, so it proved the correct decision. We will never know for sure, but i firmly believe we would have also won the 5th set had KC or RD played through 2, as long as the team played as a team, and not with the feeling of carrying someone.

Despite the lesson, the weakest member of our squad, could have played a blinder, and been better than someone else whose game was below par. No one could have foreseen what happened at the end of the tendring match, with 3 below average sets from yours truly, and 2 poor attacks from PG. It happens, cos we're not perfect. Thats why its a shame, we didnt beat Tendring with any 6 from 9.

#6

Jan 25th, 2007 - 9:08 AM

Re: final league position...

i think heads drop because players never know if they are on or not.

CVC2 with their squad of 12 will be an interesting dynamic next year when they arent winning every game. this is where we are now. you look at the warm ups, and the mention they get on other websites and reports, we are awesome, (when PF keeps his discipline), then when it comes to selection people get disappointed (yes me inc.) because there is no consistency. probably the same reason why we struggled previously in the local league against the bum teams. this is the national league, and we are in the mixer, definitely next year, and must play, train, and warm up like National Leaguers. We do this in fits and starts.

Re: final league position...

firstly, two people pointed out to me on sunday that you were digging a lot of balls that could be set, which i can only put down too worry about being called for double touches. i am not trying to be critical here and i know that my game has a lot of room for improvement. I did spend time on the bench whilst i was on the books of the england juniors and a better player than i am now, i was not a 12 year old begginer. then the team was not being picked on ability but on age and who you were mates with, i can see, from experience, that its frustrating. but you have been with the club for three or four years now and you are clearly mr. commitment, i would be the same if my job permitted. this will in the long term pay off but at the moment you are just in a tough situation. but this has not been going on long and perhaps if it continues until next season you should concentrate on the local league and take on the "honour" of being local league captain. ha ha. just keep your chin up and take on the advice that people are giving you, none of these comments are personal, and i can empathise with how frustrating it is. good luck

Jan 26th, 2007 - 11:13 AM

Re: final league position...

i have nothing more to say, matt. you have quite clearly won this thread with your bullying, arrogant comments. Well done. but you were right about JJ.

local league is an area i am hoping to get more court time. Myself and RTC had a good chat on the phone last night about said issues regarding team selection. He gave pleasing answers. i am going to continue my hard work on the setting.

ps begginer is not a word. i think the one you are looking for is beginner. (e.g. "Matt is a beginner at spelling")

no. 4

Jan 26th, 2007 - 12:02 PM

Re: final league position...

i can see no arrogance in there apart from two comments about my intelligence and my spelling. if we talk about bullying and arrogance then i think one should remove the plank from ones eye, before being critical of the saw dust in anothers. perhaps if we were to read back through previous messages on here we would see that this is not the first time you have made comments like this and you certainly have made these comments in conversation. i have not tried to be personal in here at all, and the captain remark was more of a play on the word "honour", i thought you would get that. i only want to say that you are not the first person to be in this situation and we all know it's frustrating. I do however believe that you are big enough and old enough to cope with it,and realise that this will certainly will not go on forever, you are a better player than to let that happen, but i would prefer it if you didn't make this conversation personal.

I will continue to hit your balls Rob, I will also cuddle you if you need it, but only if you don't get cross when I play around in the warm up. Set me up Sunday and together we will seal our places in the squad for ever and I will get your name in print as reporters MVP if I don't get it!
P.S.Stop setting to Matt he makes you look bad.
Good to see that as always you can rely on me to be sensible.

Jan 28th, 2007 - 7:18 AM

Re: final league position...

"comments in conversation"...

not at any point have I mentioned on here anything you have said about fellow NVC players... its probably best that "what goes on tour stays on tour" for everyones sakes. You disappoint me matthew, as it was definitely a two-way dialogue on the bench (my home).

Paul, i totally agree with your comment that setting to #4 makes me look bad. it promises to be a middles fest today vs perkins. if the pass is unacceptable, then a mega will be set to the middle, possibly dislodging a few chards of dust from the ceiling...

Sorry for not getting your joke matt, in fact i still dont get it, please explain when you get a chance.

RIGHT NOW!!!!!---all team energy focussed on beating Perkins, who did us in 3 earlier this season.

Re: final league position...

i hope that tim and pete got there fair share of sets today, as i would hate to see rob get too bitter to not set to all outside players. maybe i do make you look bad, it's difficult to see that when i am told that the outside hitters are winning the highest percentage of attacks and when my focus is on winning every point we can. i also feel that you should look at the match ups to see who is against the weakest block and who is hitting best and if the ball is suitable to be set to a particular position. selection is as important as the attack itself. a talented cricket batsmen i felt would understand that, don't select the shot until you see what ball is coming to you, i am not a talented cricketer but i do know that. I still stick by my comment that you are taking this far to personally, that was never my intention. Making top secret remarks is silly and i think you should not do it. that is why i have got annoyed about this. It is the coach and the club captains job to pick the team and i think it should stay that way. If you were the coach i would give you the same amount of respect regardless of your decision. it is acceptable to talk about it in private but to do it on the chat room is unnacceptable. the captain and coach should have 100% support in the public domain, and it should stay that way. if not, at least be man enough to put a name on your comments. i will continue to hit your sets as best i can if you set me. and i want you to know that i am not being critical of your ability, but purely your anonymous remarks on this site. Love you

Jan 28th, 2007 - 12:42 PM

Re: final league position...

matt,

#19 made 2 comments, one that we should pick the best team, which you agreed with last weekend.

the other said lets focus on 2 crucial wins. get over it.

if work commitments or the wife or whatever that stopped you from playing today (you were missed) would have allowed you to be hear, hopefully you would have been impressed by the setting combo of RD/CR, who indeed seeked to set according to matchups. it wasnt perfect, but hey, we are local leaguers.

i of course back the Runners of The Club, otherwise i wouldnt turn up every week and pay my money (Ben ignore that).

We are on the same team, and need to show at least a front of cohesion.

As much as i am a fan of banter, it has indeed got too personal, and trust has been breached.

I will from now on be very wary of how and with whom i discuss team affairs with.

C'mon NVC, big finish to the business end of the season.

thats all Bye Bye!

i don't think i have given out anythings that you have said to me in confidence. i have said that you make comments similar to the spelling and intelligence remarks in conversation regularly. I am sorry that you feel that i am being personal but you clearly have misinterpreted my comments as perhaps i have with yours. and i do believe that we should play the strongest team in the national league at all times, as agreed at the start of the season but i also feel that it is not my decision, and i would only make the comment if i was brave enough to put my name on it. i'm sorry you feel i am being personal but i can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that you are wrong!!!!!!!!!

Lets go out on wednesday enjoy the game and rip it out on the opposition.
Oh yes Matt it was I that said you make Rob look bad, but I thought it was funny and knowing that you would be away Sunday I wanted to push for more ball in the middle (you can never have enough balls).Never would i diss you, abuse maybe!

matt Jan 28th, 2007 - 11:43 AM	Re: final league position... i hope that tim and pete got there fair share of sets today, as i would hate to see rob get too bitter to not set to all outside players. maybe i do make you look bad, it's difficult to see that when i am told that the outside hitters are winning the highest percentage of attacks and when my focus is on winning every point we can. i also feel that you should look at the match ups to see who is against the weakest block and who is hitting best and if the ball is suitable to be set to a particular position. selection is as important as the attack itself. a talented cricket batsmen i felt would understand that, don't select the shot until you see what ball is coming to you, i am not a talented cricketer but i do know that. I still stick by my comment that you are taking this far to personally, that was never my intention. Making top secret remarks is silly and i think you should not do it. that is why i have got annoyed about this. It is the coach and the club captains job to pick the team and i think it should stay that way. If you were the coach i would give you the same amount of respect regardless of your decision. it is acceptable to talk about it in private but to do it on the chat room is unnacceptable. the captain and coach should have 100% support in the public domain, and it should stay that way. if not, at least be man enough to put a name on your comments. i will continue to hit your sets as best i can if you set me. and i want you to know that i am not being critical of your ability, but purely your anonymous remarks on this site. Love you

We are on the same team, and need to show at least a front of cohesion. As much as i am a fan of banter, it has indeed got too personal, and trust has been breached. I will from now on be very wary of how and with whom i discuss team affairs with. C'mon NVC, big finish to the business end of the season. thats all Bye Bye! xxx
no.4 Jan 28th, 2007 - 1:25 PM	Re: final league position... i don't think i have given out anythings that you have said to me in confidence. i have said that you make comments similar to the spelling and intelligence remarks in conversation regularly. I am sorry that you feel that i am being personal but you clearly have misinterpreted my comments as perhaps i have with yours. and i do believe that we should play the strongest team in the national league at all times, as agreed at the start of the season but i also feel that it is not my decision, and i would only make the comment if i was brave enough to put my name on it. i'm sorry you feel i am being personal but i can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that you are wrong!!!!!!!!!
#6 Jan 29th, 2007 - 2:09 AM	Re: final league position... matt you have made it impossible to communicate with. you say that people should be honest, then you contracdict yourself and say nothing should be said. oh, and where i have used #19 in previous posts, i have since realised, is beacuse the site remembers you name from the last time. end of. i look forward to a lovely cup match on Wednesday. water under the bridge. jog on. thats all bye bye xxxx

Stuff me boys, much too serious, and talking of stuffing Eric stuffed me more in one game than any other national league team have ever done in a season, ****** that hurt. Lets go out on wednesday enjoy the game and rip it out on the opposition. Oh yes Matt it was I that said you make Rob look bad, but I thought it was funny and knowing that you would be away Sunday I wanted to push for more ball in the middle (you can never have enough balls).Never would i diss you, abuse maybe! P.S Rob you bloody perfectionist check your spelling here not hear!!!!Struth man your a teacher, . Love you all equally Paul. Email:** bluntishamcars@v2net.co.uk
