Predictions please?

[Lefty]

A good write up there!

 

I am going for 2-0 Canvey goals from Leon and Kingy (from the spot).

[YELLOW]

Kingstonian 1-2 Canvey. Rhodes and Healsey with the goals.

[Eastside Urchin]

1-1

[Matt H]

Canvey Island Starting XI: Russell, Alaile, Dumas, King, Ward, Easterford, Dobinson, Game, Gonnella, Heale, Rhodes

 

Subs: West, Sheehan, Kerrigan, Everett, Matthews

 

On paper that looks slightly worrying that we don't have any attackers on the bench!

What's happened to Akwasi Edusei?

 

What formation do you think we've started with Matt?

[Matt H]

Kingstonian 1 - 0 Canvey Island, Traynor 12'

 

@CIFC - 1-0 to Kingstonian, Bobby Traynor given too much time and beats Russell diving to his left from outside the box.

Charlie, I'm probably totally wrong but on paper that looks like we're playing with Heale up top on his own and Rhodes and Gonnella playing wide either side of him. Have Dobbo, King and Game in midfield with the usual back four.

[Canvey Fan 1926]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

I'll hold back my feelings on that formation until after the match...

"Alex Rhodes goal disallowed for offside after Rob Tolfrey saves Danny Heale's shot. K's have header disallowed for offside soon after." - @CIFC

 

Lively start by the looks of it!

Personally, if this is the case, I find it even more worrying that we don't have any attackers on the bench. But, lets see how the 90 pans out...

[Matt H]

@CIFC - Good football from Canvey, Antonio Gonnella slips Ashley Dumas through but his shot is saved by Tolfrey.

 

Looks like it could be 4-4-2, if Gonnella is playing on the left with Dumas and Rhodes up top with Heale.

[Canvey Fan 1926]

Yeah, from that post it does sound like it.

[Matt H]

Saw from the Ks' tweets that they had a player booked for pole-axing Rusty in the first five minutes. Good to know they haven't changed their tactics in that department then!

@CIFC - Canvey putting the pressure on, two consecutive corners. Russell then tips a cross/shot over the bar up the other end.

GOAL: Kingstonian 1-1 CANVEY ISLAND - Rhodes (37)

 

@CIFC - 1-1, a magnificent individual effort from Alex Rhodes, turns the defender inside out before firing across Tolfrey.
