Season 77 - Week 4

Day 4 - Palace Casuals report.

Palace Casuals played away to the League leader, who won 6-1 away yesterday. Starting XI Quality slightly in Casuals favour, but Management cautious of home advantage and what might happen if opposing manager turns up, so dusted off 4-5-1V defensive/longball. Management finally turned up 15 minutes into game, opposition not present. Was tempted to change tactics, but the first goal squashed the temptation and so just let the team get on with it. A brace from right-winger Maarten Wiegman, single from DMC David Fitzharris, and hat-trick from striker Massimiliano Gerini...



Three hours later, Cup Qualifying Round 1st Leg was away at lesser-Q team, but Management had trained up subs in between matches so left the squad 'as is' but replaced the goalkeeper. Gerini and Wiegman scored, and new triple-role attacking midfielder Angelo Musto played left-wing and opened his account with the second goal.
