Last Time Out
“We changed things at half time but concede a horrible goal. It deflates
everybody. It came at the wrong time as we had a couple of moments which
gave me encouragement to see we’d pull ourselves back on level terms. We’ve
had too many of those goals this season. Letting them in at crucial times.
There’re too many players that don’t react the right way. It wasn’t good enough
in terms of our own quality. We can be better than that.”
James Bracken following the 2-1 defeat at Moatside back in February.
Played for Both
Striker Andre McCollin began
his career at Mole Valley
before joining the Casuals
at an early age. Progressing
as high as League football
with Yeovil, he’s also turned
out for a number of local
sides including Kingstonian,
Merstham and most recently,
Whyteleafe. Here he is in the
amber colours harrassing
Casuals defender Joe Hicks.
A Bogey Side?
Casuals have played Merstham 16 times in the Isthmian League
winning just twice - 3-2 at Moatside in 2009-10 and 2-1 here the
following season. The home game in the 2009-10 season was
possibly the worst for Casuals fans. With four minutes remaining,
Casuals were leading 3-1 against a Merstham side reduced to ten
men. However, the away side went on to pick up all three points!
