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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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....
“Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time. What we really want is for things to remain the same but get better.” – Sydney J. Harris To mix a couple of metaphors, this is essentially it in a nutshell; we want to have our cake and eat it. There’s...
By Tom Pink Not everyone gets their fairy tale. There simply aren’t enough of them to go around. Some land plumb first time, some have to be worked at. Some of them are in direct conflict with others. We knew that Basingstoke Buffalo and Haringey Huskies couldn’t both have it their way. The third attempt...
By Tom Pink This isn’t the game we all wanted, but it’s the game we get. We would have loved to have had the league riding on this one, for that one last push, that do or die. As it is, that’s all been tied up beforehand and we’re left with Haringey playing for pride...
