I never thought that winning a game so comprehensively could make for such a boring game.
Romford never even bothered to show up, ustering a pathetic 7 shots on goal during the entire game. So comfortable were we, that after the first period, Adam Summerfield was sent out to play the remaining 40 minutes, although rumour has it that Fone had tweeked himself and was rested as a precaution. Either way, it was good to see Adam out there for a spell.
I did feel sorry for the Romford fans who travelled the not inconsiderable distance to see their team. They were rewarded with a poor display from a team who ran out of ideas after about 30 seconds of the first period. They were piss poor tactically, resorting to dumping the puck on almost every play. They had no answer to Payette, whom they could not handle at all, and could not match the pace of any Phoenix player (with one exception).
And speaking of exceptions, Ed Courtenay was once again incredibly dissapointing. Showingost no desire to even be in the building, he once more failed to do anything of merit bar scoring an easy goal. And even then his 'celebration' was insultingly poor. No passion whatsoever. And when his commitment was questioned on the official Costigan stepped in and basically told people not to criticise him! Bullshit! If we can't criticise the players, whats the point? endless backslapping? Not for underachievers, thank you very much.
But to finish, another 4 point weekend, placing us 2nd in the table behind Milton Keynes.
