The Fat Controller reporting from the ground.

For those of you who decided to finish your Christmas shopping, it looks like it was a wise choice. This was a first 45 minutes in which almost nothing happened.

Whilst the back four and the goalkeeper have coped well with the aerial assault from the three big strikers, the two front men have been receiving very little service so far.

The reason, as usual, is the midfield. Mark Wright has been having a bit of a mare, to say the least, while Dobson and Fox have been under a lot of pressure from their more direct opponents. That also means that Bedeau has struggled to get into the game.

It looks as if changes will have to be made during the second half if we are to get three points.
