25.10.08 CARMARTHEN TOWN v AIRBUS UK BROUGHTON
Town coach Mark Aizlewood reflected on Town's change of tactics. "We decided that whilst we have been playing some attractive, fluid, passing football it hasn't been turned into points on the board. Today we went back to basics and went route one and organised the team accordingly".
"The game plan was to get the ball into the final third and hopefully the little bit of quality that we have in the team would tell. I think that proved to be the case as we saw with the goal. The most pleasing thing from my point of view was that we kept a clean sheet".
"Yes they put us under a little bit of pressure second half but it didn't result in strikes on our goal. I think our keeper only had one save to make the whole match. They didn't have a shot on target first half. I thought our back five were excellent".
"We asked Nicky Palmer and Paul Fowler to do a job that dictates that you run yourself into the ground untill you stop.That's why we took Paul Fowler off because he actually had stopped. Nicky Palmer was just about ticking over so we left him on".
Of the opposition Aizlewood said: "They were a workman like side. I think they were probably the best organised and disciplined Airbus team we've played against for a while. They were a reasonable outfit, I thought the left back No3 (Felicello) was a good player. What you mustn't forget is that had they beaten us today they would have gone above us in the table".
