The Weymouth FC “run-in”…2023/24!
INTRODUCTIONI know @footballcliches will not be happy about about the title of this post but I’m afraid with 20 games to go I’m still going to say this is a “run-in” analysis! So…straight to the point…how are we doing this season…?…20th and just the 5 points above the relegation zone! STARING INTO THE CRYSTAL “FOOT”BALL……

How will Weymouth FC remember November?
An analysis after 18 league games… How are we doing?… A short question…but possibly a long answer based on your outlook and our final position last season following our “great escape”…but let’s look at some of the current arguments… Argument no.1 – “We are doing far better than this point last season” Unarguable to be…

Drawing conclusions…with Weymouth FC after 12 games in 2023/24…
Last season Bobby was threatening to break the record for fewest league draws for a Weymouth manager ever with just 4 in 38 games at 11%. Fast forward to this season and he has already reached that total of 4 draws…in just 12 games! At 33% that is obviously 3x the rate of last season!…

Weymouth FC men’s – First 10 games review – 2023/24
With almost a quarter of the season in the bag let’s analyse our start…at the point every team had played 10 games! 1. Position – 18th (+1 from Apr 2023) Only one place higher than where we finished the “great escape” last term so obviously mildly perilous! In the “home table” we are also 18th…

“I can’t play as a GK in front of those massive goals!” – a study of an U13s girls team moving up from 9v9 to 11v11
My goalkeeper was terrified. After just one year of 9v9 football she was facing the prospect of 11v11 matches and we all know what that means…bigger pitches but…crucially for her…bigger goals! Why only one year at 9v9 you cry? Should it not have been two? Well it would have been until the Bristol Girls league…

My Weymouth FC 2022 statistical team of the year!
A few days late I grant you but we haven’t played a game yet in 2023 so still valid! Many frown about these sort of “calendar year” analyses but after a fairly dismal 12 months I thought it would be nice to see who came out on top statistically for the club. And…I can’t stress…

The day Weymouth “Town” slew the Cardiff dragons…40 years on…
The year was 1982 and it was a cold November afternoon in Weymouth when star player Trevor Finnigan incongruously stood in the dugout wearing merely a towel loosely tied around his midriff. Earlier forced to leave the field of play with a calf strain, he was therefore powerless to help his team as they found…
