Nice to get a bit of luck today. With so many injuries we did better than most people expected. Matlock were the better side in the first half but we restricted them to only a couple of real chances which they failed to take. I'm not sure what exactly happened with our first goal but the ball ended up at Montel's feet with an empty goal in front of him. Just before that the excellent Tom Solanke almost scored a debut goal. Our second goal was well worked and we almost got a third moments later when the ball struck the post.There were some really good performances. Deeney was commanding and never looked like being beaten. Joe Wilson played like he'd never been away. He settled in straight away defended well and made some great attacking runs down the right. Ollie also did well on the left defending and getting forward. Willock and Fenton were solid at the back. Midfield looked much better than of late with Jack Thomas, the tenacious Eratt-Thompson and the classy Solanke. O’Grady playing out of position wide left did all that was asked of him. Campbell and Gibson worked tirelessly and got their reward. Bennett and Troke brought fresh legs onto the pitch to secure the win. There, i’ve mention every player because they all contributed to our first win. So pleased for Martin Carruthers who must have felt under a lot of pressure. Hope the win restores confidence because we now need to replicate that form in the league.
Wilson and Solanke both look to be excellent signings.

Much better performance and you have to say they all put a shift in. Looks like they’re all still playing for the manager, and probably all players scored at least a 6 for their performance. Wilson and Eratt-Thompson did well down our right flank, but the standout for me was Tom Solanke. Neat and tidy player who can play football. Plays it nice and simple and actually tries to pick out one of our players, rather than playing a hoofball. And one thing he did was to link the midfield to the attack, he actually had a pretty good chance in the second half but he dragged his shot wide. Not a big OBH fan but he did well yesterday, snuffing out attacks down our left side. I think our team is always better when Billy Bennett is in it. I thought Deeney looked solid, and scoring a goal has got to help Campbell’s confidence. Hopefully Dan Bradley is back next week and really looking forward to see Arlott-John play.

Yes I thought we looked nervous in the first half and Matlock had the best of the play. Matlock look to be side who are also lacking in confidence. This made it a first half measured by mistakes rather than excellent football. We started to get forward more in the second half and got our reward when we forced the Matlock defence in to a mistake which Reamaye and Montreal capitalised on. Our confidence surged after this and we were on top from there onwards. All the new players looked useful especially Wilson, Errat-Thompson and Solanke. The whole team worked hard but I was impressed with Montel and Remay up front who ploughed on despite getting few quality balls early on. As mentioned before I was so pleased for Martin and Wayne because they have had a lot of unfair criticism (in my opinion on social media) in the recent weeks. The Matlock officials were lovely like Mickleover and are also a great advert for Derbyshire football.

Alex · 04/9/2022 9:18 PM

I wouldn't say unfair. Fans are aloud to have a say.

Great team performance but i wasnt happy with our captain yesterday. For the 1st 20 minutes he got his pants pulled down by there number 10. Fenners was happy to blame everybody else when he got skinned a couple of times and that was it for a 1st half of nothingness from both teams. Second half matlock looked lost but this is where you have to give our players a lot of credit because the work rate was brilliant. Ive said all season when this team clicks we will thrash somebody. I know its because of injuries and yes we do look a little thin on the ground but take your hats off to mc and wh for juggling the team about to keep us a strong team. Man of the match joe wilson. Gave the team balance and always looked positive on the ball.
We have a couple of had league games ahead over the next week. I would take 2 draws. We have a strong squad but this squad needs to turn into a strong starting 11.

Matlock's Match Report

Matlock Town FC vs Ilkeston Town Attendance: 695 Referee: Callum Parke Date: 03 September 2022

Match Report Matlock Town 0-2 Ilkeston Town

At the end of a difficult week, this was precisely the result Matlock didn’t want.It was again a too familiar tale of failing to take chances when they were on top and then being punished for it.

So for a second successive year Matlock went out of the Emirates FA Cup at the first hurdle at home to a fellow Derbyshire club and while the performance was not as deflating as against Belper Town twelve months ago, it was still a horrible result for the Gladiators who are badly in need of a pick me up.

With Paul Phillips having departed the club on Thursday, his assistant Kayde Coppin and goalkeeping coach Steve Shuttleworth oversaw team affairs, recalling Jorome Slew in attack with Jake Day dropping back to the bench .Simon Njaria replaced the injured Alex Wiles in midfield.

The early signs were again encouraging, Slew robbing Tom Solanke in the Ilkeston half to fire a strong twenty five yarder which the well positioned Saul Deeney held. Then Callum Chippendale fired narrowly wide and after Reece Kendall had shot tamely at Deeney, Kendall created a good opportunity which Slew screwed wide.

A hamstring injury brought an early end to Chippendale’s afternoon, Kallen Murphy, now with the required international clearance along with Leigh Whelan, taking his place. Al Byrne’s 19th minute header was off target before Ilkeston created their first chance on 25 minutes, Montel Gibson heading over a cross from the right by Joe Wilson.

A fantastic Byrne cross from the right deserved better than no-one being on the end of it, Slew just being out of radar and then another centre from Byrne might have got greater reward than Kendall heading at Deeney. This followed a brief flurry of pressure from the Robins who forced two quick corners.

A Kendall cross bounced off the bar on 51 minutes before Ilkeston, growing into the game, might have gone ahead when Tom Solanke found space on the left and his shot narrowly beat the far post.

It was going to take a worldie or a bad error to break the deadlock and sadly for Matlock it was the latter as Jim Pollard came charging out of his box to challenge for a ball that had unfortunately deflected off Mark Lees’ head. Remaye Campbell managed to knock the ball into space leaving GIBSON with the easiest of finishes on 61 minutes.

Three minutes later there was worse to come from Matlock although this was a well worked goal, the impressive Declan Eratt-Thompson scampering down the right to cross low for CAMPBELL to convert from close range, this being the kind of incisive finishing Matlock lacked.

On 67 minutes Pollard allowed a routine back pass from Qualter under his boot, the ball bouncing back off a post. Slew chased a long ball only to fire high over the bar on to the cricket area and Deeney pushed out a Jordan Barnett free kick with again nobody reacting but Ilkeston cruised through until the end.
