Interview with Adam Thurgood

No blog yesterday. It was boring. I went to the gym after school and that was it. I interviewed Adam earlier about The upcoming local derby between cougars and GPR.

Whitby: As gpr against cougars is a derby do you think it has the potential to get aggressive?
Adam:i think that off the field it may become aggressive however on the field the takles will fly in at the end of the day who ever wants it the most will be walking out the tunnel in the final at Chertsy Town FC.

Whitby: Who do you think will pose most threat for cougars?
Adam: i think the threat from cougars will come from the face up top and on the wing simon and pendry have good speed and simon can produce a good ball on his day however i think we have a Strong team and good players who will deal with the threats.

Whitby: After Cougars won 3-1 in a friendly earlier in the season will gpr approach the game differently?
Adam: i think gpr have an excellent manager in Mark Niven who has been around in his football career. i can see gpr approaching the game with a more attacking purpose, especially after the recent defeats which have found us bottom of the premiership. however i feel we will have the eager and desire to come back strong after the surprise beating in pre season. It will be down to the players fitness and desire on the day

Whitby: Who do you think is the key to sucess for either side?
Adam: i think a few players will shine on Sunday, however if they don't they may be sitting at home on the day of the final. in goal for cougars is Daniel Whitby an excellent shot stopper with a commanding authority of the box also with his penalty saving record I'm sure gpr will be wanting to get the game done after 80 mins. another key player of cougars is there key in defence as well as there captain, Mark Boylett good in the air and can pick a pass I'm sure cougars will be hoping he is on form. (Whitby: He was shit on sunday) Goldsworth however also have some key players... Brad Bayliss in the heart of the midfield will be pulling the strings of cougars, not afraid to make a tackle as well as an excellent ability to hit a 40 yard pass he could be a key player for goldsworth. furthermore im sure 'Goal'dsorth will be hoping someone turns up with there shooting boots on Sunday, with a poor scoring record this game looks like it could be very close. (Whitby: With our defense you will get plenty of shooting practise)

Whitby: Finally a score prediction please
Adam: As a gpr player i think that we are going to edge it, a more experienced team. cougars have been weakened with the loss of matt coomber and the shaky games being played by mark boylett as well as the return to adam thurgood which may mean goldsworth may be able to move adam charman into a more attacking position where people sense he is more of a threat I predict this game is going to go down to the spot kick where I feel goldsworth have takers with the ability to finish more. 1-1 after extra time 4-2 on penalties
(Note: There is no way way ill lose on penalties)

Well for what its worth as long as Cougars turn up and defend like before in the friendly. We have a great chance and the only problem is creativity however I think the cougars players will be up for it but however this time so will GPR eager for revenge. I can see this going to extra time but no further. At extra time the team who wants it more win.
