Joe flows for Albion

[Dizzle.]

Aldershot Reserves 0, Albion Reserves 2 Joe Anyinsah's Albion career is up and running.

The winger on loan from Preston recovered from his red card debut at Yeovil on Saturday to score one goal and create the other as the reserves made it two wins out of two in the Football Combination.

Anyinsah put Bob Booker's side ahead in the 64th minute, side-footing in a right-wing cross from Dan Royce from close range.

Victory was sealed eight minutes later when Anyinsah fired the ball in from the left and Steve Cook, instigator of the opening goal with a cross-field pass, stabbed home at the far post.

It was the second goal in as many games for rookie leftback Cook, who rounded off last week's opening 3-0 win at home to Crystal Palace.

Striker Jonny Dixon had few chances to shine against his old club, although he hit a post with a first half header from another Royce cross.

Booker said: "It was definitely a game of two halves. We were poor in the first half, when we weren't really at the races.

"It was way off the quality of last week against Palace, when we set our standards. We were a bit all over the place and lucky not to be a couple of goals down but we dug in.

"In the second half we competed better, passed it better, created more chances and got our just rewards in the end.

"Joe got in a few good positions to score and he got his goal. He will have enjoyed getting 90 minutes under his belt after Saturday."

Albion Reserves: Sullivan; Wills, Pearson, El-Abd, Cook; Royce, Fraser, Loft, Anyinsah; Hart, Dixon.

sounds promising

We beat Aldershot reserves 2v0. Not sure how that sounds promising.

Better than a defeat but if Dixon was the best their first team could offer when we signed him would anybody really expect anything other than a comfortable win?

[Lord Large]

Ah, I get you.

Although the same comments about it only being Aldershot Reserves still stand...

I find your writing style quite contrary Lord Large, are you related to Conboy?

Immature I can be, but I am not contrary, or as negative as Lord Large.
