Started the day at 0500, then went off to Stalybridge to say "Hi" to the Alfreton Town mob (I was only 14 out on their "Guess the Attendance" sweep in the end) - returned to Mossley - some might say "Why ?" - I too am asking the same question.
First 36 minutes saw good Mossley pressure - chances for Eyres, Turley and Shillito come to mind - but then it was the usual "sucker punch" moment, although it was three minutes before half-time rather than the usual three minutes from full-time. Kendal's Dave Foster received the ball on the edge of the box - turned - and just smacked it - a truly superb finish I have to say. Once again half-time arrived and Mossley were chasing the game.
An early free-kick for Kendal - spot the "hole in the wall".
The second half really contained few moments of note - a header from Wright which went just over - a Kendal effort from afar which "caught the wind" and dropped on the Mossley bar - a Turley free kick late on which hit the post - and a lot of rain in the last 15 minutes. Somewhere in the middle of all that, Kendal's Beattie found time and space in the Mossley defence to receive, swivel and score to make it 2-0. The last couple of minutes saw the ball in the net at both ends - but both cancelled out by flagging officials (they may have been tired as well - I was certainly flagging by then).
The Kendal goalmouth did see some action - but ...
Another defeat, this time by a club that hadn't won a game since September. Mossley are in deep trouble - once again there was some "tinkering" at the back re team selection - but it's not "tinkering" that's required - it's something a bit more fundamental than that. Enough of this - it's starting to hurt - serious hurt as well....
"I wandered lonely as a Kendal 'keeper" - there were 21 others - somewhere.
