Rest of January Update
Lowestoft 0 – 3 FM Base (13/1/15) (VCN)

Ratings: Redgrave 7.1, Thunderfoot 7.5, Palmer 7.7, Harrison 7.5, Whyte 7.4, Mason 6.5 (Litmanen 6.9), Yakin II 6.4 (Peters 6.8), Patrik 7.8, Hogg 8, Goyzueta 7.6, Roberts 6.3 (Baker 7.1)
One of our worst performances of the season, but we get the points. Both our left wingers score as they try to assert their dominance for position.

FA Cup game to be televised
Williams resumes full training

Another clean sheet, and plenty of goals. Nice and simple as we prepare for our next cup match. Baker continues his impressive form; Williams returns to score.

Really poor defending, not at all happy with that. Pleasing hattrick for Litmanen though, and Roberts returns to the scoresheet as well.
-------------
Whyte strains knee ligaments – misses 6/7 weeks
Thompson resumes full training
-------------
West Ham 2 – 1 FM Base (24/1/15) (FA Cup)

After an insipid first half display, some tactical genius got us level, Dance finishing a fine move. Unfortunately the Hammers got a winner, but we had our chances. A good performance against a good team, we can travel home with a measure of pride.
-------------
Mason out for 5-7 days, Williams out for 2-3 days.

Nice and easy. Lincoln away in the 4
th round, a nice homecoming for the manager.
-------------

Scorers: Biggun (21), Baker (73)
Ratings: Redgrave 6.9, Schwarzenegger 6.7, Harrison 7.1, Harrison 6.8, Thunderfoot 6.9, Patrik 6.8, Palmer 6.5 (Yakin II 6.7), Litmanen 6.5 (Hogg 6.8), Biggun 6.8, Baker 8.5, Goyzueta 6.4 (Roberts 6.6)
Pretty easy win to end the month. Baker continues a ridiculous run of form to score yet again, and Biggun gets one on his return.
-------------
SUMMARY
We’re still on for the non-league double, and we put up a respectable performance in the FA Cup. With a good lead in the league, we should have that wrapped up. A minor rumbling in the players camp as Arnie tried to get more money, but nothing too serious.
PLAYER OF THE MONTH
Nathan Baker
