By Tom Pink AAGGGHHHHH!!!! A small insight into my internal monologue from Saturday night there. That covers all bases as well; the good times and the bad, the giddy highs, the soul-crushing lows. I had to give my head a wobble on Sunday morning because I left the Palace on Saturday seeing red. If I’m...
MATCH REPORT – PETERBOROUGH HOME
By Tom Pink I can’t stress enough just how good that was. If you wanted a performance for the last home game of the year, then you were in all sorts of luck on Saturday. My word. I couldn’t agree more with Pete Taylor’s analysis in his Coach’s Corner this week and I’ll reiterate some...
MATCH REPORT – GUILDFORD AWAY
By Tom Pink It’s the same problems for Haringey, the same old story; turn up at the Spectrum, play well, lose. You could go back over most of the old reports against Guildford and they probably wouldn’t be very different from this. They’re a very good team and they’ve won most of what there is...
MATCH REPORT – SOLENT HOME
By Tom Pink I love fast starts. It always helps if you can score within the first minute. The first 21 seconds is ideal. As we found against Peterborough, it’s a suckerpunch. It drains the energy out of the opposition, having to start the game for all intents and purposes 1-0 down. Matt France comes...
WEEKEND REVIEW – 9th/10th NOVEMBER
By Tom Pink What a weekend. Different competitions, different games, different results. It’s played two, lost two for Haringey in the EJMC (Eddie Joseph Memorial Cup). I’m a bit torn on this one, because although there were several things I didn’t like about Saturday, I still thought we mostly played well and there’s some really...
MATCH REPORT – CARDIFF HOME
By Tom Pink Welcome back Haringey Huskies. All is forgiven. That was so much more like it, an absolute cracker of a game. It’s a more familiar performance from the Huskies, in a game they dominated for large parts. It wasn’t entirely plain sailing, however. Cardiff had moments, they hit the post a couple of...
MATCH REPORT – OXFORD HOME
By Tom Pink You can call it a lot of things at the moment, but you can’t call it boring. Eighteen goals for, 18 goals against in four league games makes for a wild, wild ride. At 3-1 up on Saturday I was thinking “we’re so back!”, but that very quickly fell away at 4-4...
COACH’S CORNER (7th October)
Hi Huskies Fans! I hope you’re all well and enjoying the start of the hockey season. It was great to hang out with some of you at the Huskies fans summer meet up in July and even better to see you all back, packing out the stands and cheering on our team at the Palace....
MATCH REPORT: HUSKIES 3-4 LIONS
By Tom Pink I was ill for most of last week, some kind of bug or virus. There’s something going round at the moment. I honestly wouldn’t wish it on anyone. By Saturday morning I was up and about, feeling much better and very much looking forward to the game. I thought this might be...
MATCH REPORT: HUSKIES 4-3 LIONS
By Tom Pink I expected a closer game than we’ve maybe previously seen against Lee Valley, but I wasn’t expecting it to be that close. I certainly wasn’t expecting to see Lee Valley take the lead against us twice, but maybe that has more to do with my own naivety and my own blinkered view....
