A fantastically expensive week personally ended with me scraping my car against a wall, to add to the emergency repairs my house needs, apparently the gable end could collapse at any time and Lancaster failing to see a side who had to play with 10 men for 70 minutes before eeking out a 1-1 draw in the F A Trophy match against Droylsden at City's Giant Axe ground.
Droylsden's recent history has been quite entertaining, they reached the Conference about seven years ago, since those lofty days they have rocketed down the leagues mainly due to not being able to defend, last season they conceded a whopping 160 goals including two 9-0 hammerings by Champions Spennymoor.
The Bloods play in Manchester at the quaintly named ground the Butchers Arms, a pub which was next to the ground, decent pub it was as well, however due the absence of a cellar the pub is no more. The Bloods have improved at the back only 21 have gone past their keeper in 11 games so tbey are improving.
They were soon one behind early doors as City's Gregory ran on to a long pass/ball to easily beat Coates in the Blood's goal the goal came against the early run of play as they had gone close with two headers from the gigantic ex Prestron player Heaton from early corners. Bloods dominated and were playing some great passing football, the pacy Hassler-Cregg was giving city a nightmare down the left flank whilst well built forward Lewis looked a danger.
City were handed a man advantage after 20 minutes, when ex City player Winder tangled with Wills, the upshot being a red card for Winder, fair play to the visitors kept three up top and still even with a man light looked dangerous, Hale being forced to tip a header against the post to revent the scores being level.
City were extremely ponderous and just before half time Heaton headed home to level the scores no more than they deserved.
The Bloods started in the same vein in the second half although City were slightly better, in truth there was not a lot of goalmouth action in the second half as both teams seemed to be relying on the quick break, sadly City's passing let them down whilst the lack of a player hindered the Bloods, cannot recall a shot Coats had to save whilst Hale dealt with everything that came his way.
When City did get through Rouse stopped Mayers with a super tackle in the box, would have been un just if Droylsden had lost. They replay on Tuesday should be an interesting game.
