A very good performance today against a side who have higher aspirations (and budget) than Step 5 on and off the pitch.
Aside from the 4 goals we hit the post twice and the cross bar once. Had a very strong shout for a penalty turned down. Faversham gave us a good game in the first half but we kept stretching the play, tiring them - I think fitness was a big factor today. When our midfield of Bradley and Whelps began to tire, we brought on Archie Tamplin and Ayo, and stepped up a gear.
Great to see Tommy score - he’d had a shot hit the inside of the post then rolll along the line earlier, and Archie’s face was a delight when he smashed his chance home in the 90th minute.
8/10s all over the pitch today.
Thanks to be 25 or so Rooks fans who made the trek and weren’t seduced by the HopFest in the town centre.
The win today means our game vs Hastings United on the 16th will now have to be rearranged

Yep great day out, nice club and very nice people with the result never in question. Agree with 8 and 10s all round but in truth Faversham considering their well paid newly assembled squad were very average. Well done to you all.

Great to see that Tommy scored his first goal for us today, he has definitely worked hard for it. Surprised that Egan wasn’t on the team sheet today - has he picked up an injury?
Looking forward to the draw on Monday - COYR

Looking forward to the draw on Monday - COYR Agreed - Tommy played well today in lots of ways but his goal and one assist will do him good! |

I’ve been impressed by his ability to hold up the ball and link up with players around him, leading to him earning several assists early into the season. I think he was just missing that edge to score chances when they came to him. Hopefully his goal today can spark a scoring streak for the next few games.

Early start paid off with a few hours of Hop Fest before a thoroughly professional job on the pitch. Really warming to this new look Lewes. Struggling to pick a motm...excellent from 1 to 11 and subs. I'm giving it to Wood for working his socks off, a lovely assist and a much needed goal. Faversham weren't a bad side but they hardly got a sniff. Fingers crossed for a decent draw on Monday.

Have Ramsgate been spending big or am I being overly cynical? Very big… This puzzles me. Where does the money come from for the (Hey!) Big Spenders and how much do the 'investors' expect to get in return? Genuine question. Looking at some attendances in this division, I wonder how some clubs survive. If that's confidential, I understand that. |

Looking at some attendances in this division, I wonder how some clubs survive. If that's confidential, I understand that. As one of the Faversham directors said to me yesterday, “We’ve got a bit of cash - the chairman has a few bob spare and wanted to invest in the team and facilities for the community”…. |
