Here’s two simple steps to go from Hero to Zero.
1. Score on your Crowborough Athletic debut with a delicious lob of the keeper from outside the box.
2. Three days later play Eastbourne Borough’s striker onside in the last minute for him to nab a winner.
I feel gutted. Gutted we lost (although we were on the back foot for most of the game). Gutted it was my fault we lost. And furious at myself. I feel like I’ve let the whole side down. And only a few days after being the toast of the team – scoring on my debut.
But that, as they say, is football. And the refrehing thing about the game is that chance keep coming up to redeem yourself. We have a game in a week’s time and I’m determined already to make up for tonight.
The thing is, I am very paranoid and convinced that the smallest slip-up will see my crucified and out of the team. But the truth is, the manager likes me. He sees something in and and even knowing that gives me a boost.
I just need to repay that faith. Starting next Tuesday…
