Stephen McCartney reports from Middle Park Avenue

STANSFELD manager Billy Shinners says he wanted the ground to swallow him up and he will suffer from a sleepless night after his side threw away a 4-1 interval lead before playing their part in a 12-goal classic in Eltham.

 

A crowd of only 81 were treated to a remarkable game as they witnessed the highest draw in any football match played in England this season, with nine goals coming down the slope at Middle Park Avenue and 11 players getting on the scoresheet.

There was even a referee change at the interval as Michael Jones suffered a hamstring injury during the first half, so assistant referee Luke Thomas took the whistle for the second half, with observer Valentine Anekwe taking the flag.

Rusthall manager Jimmy Anderson is away on holiday for a week and assistant manager Lee Chambers took the game, with Joe Charlesworth beside him in the dug-out.

Midfielders Ollie Andrews and Robert Hughes gave Stansfeld a 2-0 lead inside 25 minutes, before Rusthall pulled a goal back through Louis Anderson’s quality free-kick.

Stansfeld right-back Ibrahim Barrie tucked home a set-piece before striker Chris Alhassan notched his fourth goal of the season to seemingly kill the game off.

However, Rusthall produced an almighty come back with striker Louie Clarke, centre-half Robbie Bissett, substitute left-back Jack Lyons all scoring to make it 4-4 after 77 minutes.

Italian left-winger Yassin Fares scored two clinical strikes, which were sandwiched between a 40-yard free-kick from Stansfeld winger Harvey Mead, who like Fares had scored his third of the season.

Rusthall felt they had snatched victory through Fares’ strike (46:48) before former Rusthall striker Greg Williams’ scored with a glancing header (50:30) to restore parity.

“I don’t know where to start.  That was a very entertaining game of football for the spectator.  As a manager though, there’s not much worse than that,” admitted Shinners.

“But 4-1 up, cruising, second half, conceding five goals, as a team that is not good enough at all and that is probably attitude on and off the pitch.

“However, I will finish, before the game I said whatever happens we must not get beat.  There were good attitudes there as well to make sure that we didn’t get beat.

“It went 5-4, five-all, six-five and six-all, so we did not lose the game.  We kept going but I can’t help to be very disappointed with going in 4-1 at half-time and then drawing the game six-all.

“I can’t remember the last time Stansfeld scored six goals. I’ve bever been involved with a six-all game, in men’s Saturday football.”

Rusthall’s assistant manager Chambers added: “It’s an absolute mad game to be honest with you.  The cliché of a game of two halves but I’ve just said to the boys after the game, we never got going in the first half.  We were 4-1 down at half-time.

“At half-time we turned round and said 'we’ll be lucky to get something out from the game.'

“At 6-5 with a minute to go, it’s gutting to concede.  The boys have worked exceptional in the second half. It’s just unfortunate at the end to concede an equaliser with the last kick of the game basically.

“It was absolutely bonkers. It was like watching a basketball match really.  Everything that everyone hit went in the back of the net. Was it some sloppy defending or was it some good finishes? A bit of both today really.

“We’ve got to look at it from half-time. We wrote that first half off and we looked at it at half-time and we’ve come away with a point.

“I didn’t think we could achieve that at half-time being 4-1 down? It was a bit of a mountain to climb.

“We came here on the back of two good wins against Snodland (3-0) and Holmesdale (2-0 on Saturday), so to come here and get a point wouldn’t have been a bad result on the back of it now. In hindsight, it’s not a bad point to be fair.”

This breathless Southern Counties East Football League Premier Division clash was played at a high tempo, with neither goalkeeper having a great night.

Rusthall created their first opening after 195 seconds when Anderson whipped in his side’s first corner towards the near post and with goalkeeper Hugo Webb flapping, centre-half Daniel Blunn’s brave towering header sailed over the crossbar.

Rusthall centre-half Bissett gave the ball away to Dario Sesay-De Luca, who cracked a left-footed drive from 25-yards, which bounced in front of Rusthall keeper Serine Sanneh, who dived to his right to push the ball away.

However, just 29 seconds later (11:19), Stansfeld had taken the lead as an unmarked Andrews unleashed a right-footed drive across the diving goalkeeper to find the bottom far corner with a clinical strike from 25-yards.

“I’ve been questioning the midfielders from the start of the season to chip in with more goals and Ollie Andrews is one of them,” said Shinners.

“He’s our skipper, so he does play most weeks. As a team, collectively, especially the boys in midfield, we need to chip in with more goals, so Ollie shooting from there and scoring, I’m really pleased with him.”

Chambers added: “I think they were two sloppy goals from us. We didn’t go and press the ball quick enough. They’re probably good goals from their part but they’re sloppy on our part.

“I think we just need to engage the ball a little bit better and probably stop those shots happening really.”

Stansfeld were playing some brilliant attack-minded football and central midfielder Harrison English played the ball down the line to Mead, who drove down the line before cutting the ball back for Hughes, who took a touch in the middle before forcing Sanneh to dive to his left to parry.

Impressive Rusthall left-winger Fares was pressed by Luca, who gave away a free-kick before left-back Mustafa Hashemi played a quickly-taken short free-kick to Fares, who’s dinked pass got in behind Stefan Kempton and the recalled Louie Clarke drilled his rasping left-footed drive over the top of the near post.

Chambers had this to say about Clarke, who suffered an ACL injury last pre-season while playing for Erith Town.

“Clarkie has been back in the group for the last few weeks. This is his first start really for us today, just getting back up to match speed. He’s been coming off the bench and doing a job for us and deserved a start today.

“That effort that we had just in the first half was probably our best bit of play in the first half and it was just unfortunate just to put it over.”

Stansfeld produced a three-man move to double their lead with 24 minutes and 38 seconds on the clock.

Left-back Frank McCormack threw the ball to English, who easily cut inside Anderson to reach the by-line before cutting the ball back and putting it on a plate for Hughes, who swept his first-time shot across the keeper to find the bottom far corner from six-yards.

Shinners said: “Rob Hughes is the same category as Ollie Andrews.  Rob has had that in him before. I’ve known Rob for quite a long time now and he used to have a lot of goals in his game when he first came into the club.

“I don’t think he scored at all last season so he was another one that we highlighted we need to get more goals out of him because he can do that. He’s definitely a confidence player because I think that’s his third goal now this season, so hopefully he’ll crack on and get some more for us.”

Chambers added: “Once again, just a lack of concentration from us, switched off and you can’t switch off at this level and fair play to him, he’s tucked the ball away.”

However, Rusthall pulled a goal back with 26 minutes and 50 seconds on the clock, following a free-kick down the left-touch line and some poor goalkeeping from the recalled Webb.

Anderson whipped a quality right-footed free-kick towards the corridor of uncertainty but Stansfeld allowed the ball to bounce in front of their goalkeeper and no one got a touch to a great ball in as it caressed into the back of the net.

Chambers said: “Louis’s got that in his locker. We were at Faversham the other week and he puts a ball on a plate for Yassin so he’s put in to another good area and an area where we ask the goalkeeper to come and make a decision and he’s put it in the right area there and unfortunate for their part it’s gone straight past the goalkeeper.”

Shinners added: “Look those ones are so difficult to defend, so difficult for the keeper.  How many times do we see that during the course of the season, where you do a great free-kick between the defenders and the centre-halves and no one really takes the ownership and deals with it.

“That’s not Hugo’s fault. I want my centre-halve to go out there and head it – don’t let the ball bounce.”

Bissett played a sublime low through ball out of Rusthall’s defence on the half-hour mark into Fares, who played Hashemi in behind Stansfeld right-back Barrie and Webb narrowed the angle and used his legs to deny the Rusthall left-back scoring from a tight angle

“Another good bit of play from us, overlapping down the left-hand side. Good ball into a good area but we just didn’t capitalise on it really,” added Chambers.

Stansfeld raced into a 3-1 lead with 32 minutes and 52 seconds on the clock, following their third and final corner.

It's very rare for a centre-half to take a flag-kick but Kempton whipped in a right-footed delivery from the left and Rusthall failed to clear the ball at the near-post and the ball fell at Barrie, who placed his left-footed shot through a crowd of players to find the bottom left-hand corner from eight-yards.

Shinners said: “A good reaction from him. The deliveries are good but a good reaction from him.

“You kind of think this is going in the right direction, where we’re playing good attacking football. It’s a joy to manage and watch and you feel like you’re going in the right direction at 3-1.”

Chambers said: “I mean we just got ourselves back into the game at 2-1 there and you’re hoping that you’re going to go on and kick on and then to concede again so soon after and pulling a goal back, it’s a sucker-punch for us.  If you’re going to switch off, you get punished for it.”

Stansfeld were dominant in midfield during the first half with the likes of Jack Kirby and Jack Smith (who was later forced off with a knee injury) and attacking midfielder Charlie Clover often dropped back to help out but the Rusthall trio looked lost.

“I thought we did boss the midfield in the first half and that’s essentially while we were 4-1 up and in the second half they got the goal reasonably early so they got the bit between their teeth,” said Shinners.

“Essentially, in the second half, the (Rusthall) forward dropped in and dominated and got on top in the match.”

Chambers replied: “We addressed that at half-time. There was definitely a gap in our centre midfield.  The slope obviously paid dividends in both halves today.  Stansfield got their goals playing down the hill but we tweaked the shape at half-time and it proved to help us in the second half.”

Kirby went missing during the build-up to Stansfeld scoring with a clinical strike with 38 minute and 23 seconds on the clock.

An unmarked Hughes had time and space to feed the ball to Mead, who cut inside and put in a low cross and Alhassan took a touch before clinically stroking his left-footed shot past the diving keeper to find the far corner.

“Chris is probably our most natural finisher in the club and that finish was very natural,” said Shinners, a former Stansfeld talisman cente-forward during his playing days.

“He’s picked the ball up from kind of a loose ball and right in the corner, a great finish. He’s got that in him. I’m not surprised with those types of goals from him. We just need to get him some more really.”

When asked about the impressive first half performance from his side, Shinners admitted: “It’s been coming. We do play some nice attacking football.  At the start of the season it was about gelling this youngish team but in the last few weeks it’s been, we are a good attacking team.

“I felt there’s been times where we could’ve scored the third or fourth in games previous to this, so to be 4-1 up at half-time we weren’t 100% surprised, we’ve seen this coming!

“I was over the moon at half-time because that was a perfect half to a point, obviously scoring four goals in a half is a great attacking display.”

Chambers added: “Once again, there were gaps appearing in the first half. That’s what we addressed at half-time. It was another good finish from the lad to be fair.”

Hashemi threw the ball to Fares, who burst forward before the very quiet Kalani Barton stabbed the ball to Fares, who unleashed a right-footed rasping drive from 18-yards, which was comfortably plucked out of the air by an untroubled Webb.

Stansfeld were very impressive during the first half, while Rusthall looked like a side destined for relegation as the half-time interval arrived.

“At 4-1, we thought the game was won,” admitted the Stansfeld manager.

“I asked the boys to manage the game, manage expectations but it was very, very difficult to explain. I can’t really comment on it now if I’m being completely honest.

“I think we thought the game was won and I think the players thought the game was won, so there was definitely complacency and them scoring within five minutes really put the bit between their teeth.

“We kind of dropped off and panicked. Maybe showed a sign of being a young squad, not too much experience and we panicked and we dropped off and invited more pressure and allowed them to get more goals.”

Whatever Rusthall put in their players’ tea during the interval had the desired effect, as they looked like a completely different team in the second half.

Chambers said: “There’s no point me going in there ranting and raving and that. It’s not going to achieve much, so we went in there and we spoke about tweaking the shape, which we did and just said a quick 10 minutes from us in the second half, try to play on the front foot, which we did and if we can get an early goal, who knows what might happen and that’s what we asked for and that’s what the boys delivered.”

Rusthall came out with all guns blazing and set the tone with an air of dominance and confidence and pulled a goal back with three minutes and 48 seconds on the clock.

Kirby woke up from his first half slumber to slip a lovely through ball for Clarke, who skipped past the advancing goalkeeper before placing his left-footed shot into the bottom left-hand corner of an empty net.

“A typical Clarkie finish, he’s clinical in front of goal,” said Chambers, when reflecting on Clarke’s first goal for Rusthall this season.

“He just needs to get up to speed, which he’s getting closer and closer to at the moment. He was under pressure as well, it was a little clinical finish from him.”

Shinners added: “I think their midfield, Kirby got more and more into the game as the game went on. All their players got on the ball and their forwards were dropping in quite well, good rotations and got goals.”

Stansfeld boss Shinners made a tactical mistake opting to switch formation to 4-5-1 in the 51^st minute, with Willams coming off the bench at the break to be the home side’s lone striker.

“As soon as it went to 4-2, I changed it to 4-5-1 but they were scoring and it felt like we were just inviting more and more pressure on,” explained Shinners.

“Originally, I went to 4-4-2. I changed the shape to try to get us up higher the pitch but it’s actually worked the benefit of scoring the final goal.”

Rusthall brought Lyons on at the break to slot in at left-back and played a 4-3-1-2 formation, which gave them the momentum to produce such a miracle comeback.

Stansfeld weathered the early storm but some woeful goalkeeping from Webb following Rusthall’s fourth and final corner, with 22 minutes and 41 seconds on the clock, gave the Rustics’ a shot in the arm.

Anderson whipped in a right-footed corner from the left and Webb stepped to his right and punched the ball badly and the ball bounced off Bissett’s head on the line and dropped over the line and into the left-hand corner for his fourth goal of the season.

Chambers said: “Rob’s claiming it. I think he was the nearest bloke and he said he got a touch on it.

“We needed to keep putting balls into good areas and if we could put it into a good area and make defenders make a decision or keeper’s come and make a decision, anything can happen. It can nick of somebody’s head or fall into a right area and fortunately it fell to Robbie and it got us right back into the game.”

Shinners added: “Hugo’s a young goalkeeper, hopefully he’ll learn. Those ones have got be cleared, punched or whatever it may be to get it away, punch higher and further up the pitch.

“What I will say, at four-all, maybe four-three, the game got silly really on both sides. It was all guns blazing really.  I’ll probably review it on video but the game got silly at that point if I’m being honest.”

Stand-in referee Thomas showed Kempton a sin-bin yellow card for dissent after Kempton claimed he had won the ball as he slid in to tackle Clover on the edge of the Stansfeld box, as Stansfeld were temporarily reduced to 10 men (28:39).

“I will always have a go at my players for getting sin-binned because essentially it kills the team and I think he was sin-binned at 4-2 and when he came back on it was four all,” added Shinners.

“I’ve asked him, he’s a grown man and he’s said he’s got the ball. I didn’t hear what he said to the ref.

“As a club, as a team, Stansfeld very traditionally have a very shocking sin-bin record and since I’ve come in (at the start of last season) that was something that I wanted to improve, so when we do get sin-bins it’s not acceptable really from our point of view because everything that I try to do is make the club as professional as we can and sin-bins are not very professional.”

Webb lined up a four-man wall but they allowed Lyons’ clinical left-footed free-kick to go underneath them and past the diving Webb as the ball nestled inside the bottom left-band corner, as Rusthall somehow restored parity with 31 minutes and 4 seconds on the clock.

Chambers said: “Jack’s got that in his locker. He’s a young lad that came up through the under 18s and it’s not the first time that he’s struck a free-kick in the back of the net and it won’t be the last.  But he’s got an eye for goal and fair play, he took it and got us back in.”

Shinners added: “You see it don’t you.  You see those people laying underneath the wall. Obviously, I don’t tell my guys to do it.  Goals like that, you now understand why people do it.

“Was it under the wall, around the wall? It was low, so maybe it’s something for me to look at again.  You’ve got a decision to make essentially, that’s one thing I’ll look at moving forward.”

The Rusthall fans, players and management went berserk as they celebrated taking the lead for the first time – with 35 minutes and 27 seconds on the clock.

Blunn hit a long sublime 60-yard diagonal out of defence over to Fares on the left and the talented winger cut in from the wing before drilling a sublime right-footed angled drive into the top far corner from 20-yards.

Chambers said: “It seemed like it was a day for attacking minded players.  There were lacklustre defending in there from both sides and some clinical finishes from the attacking players.

“Yas is a good player. He plays off both feet. He can play on either side and he got us in front in the game,” hailed Chambers.

“It was a good little finish. We missed him. He’s another one who had a long-term injury. He had to go back to Italy for rehab and we’re lucky to have him back at this club and he’s another one, a bit like Louie Clarke, that we’re trying to get back up to speed and hopefully we’ll still see the best out of him.”

Shinners added: “I’ve got to say, attacking wise they were very, very good in the second half and essentially once you went 4-3, 4-4, you could see it coming, if I’m being honest.

“What I will say, when it went to 5-4 to them and 6-5 to them, for us to actually get an equaliser after leading 4-1 at half-time, going down to 5-4, that is good character.  I will say that is very good character because we were down and out, completely down and out. The game was ridiculous but to get the fifth and sixth goal that is good character.

“Last year was a very difficult year for me and for the club.  We would’ve lost tonight 100% last season.

“Somehow we got the fifth goal and the sixth goal and somehow got the draw, so you’ve got to give the boys some credit for that, although we should’ve have been in that position.”

However, Stansfeld showed great character to score the tenth goal of the game, timed at 40 minutes and 30 seconds on the clock.

Mead stroked a right-footed free-kick into the top far corner of the net from 40-yards, as the ball came in from the right and Sanneh allowed the ball to sail over his right shoulder.

“That was a very, very good goal. He’s not our natural free-kick taker, however. As soon as it left his foot, it was going in," revealed Shinners.

“Harvey’s grown into the team. He’s a new player for us (signed from Kent County League side Metrogas). He’s very different to a traditional Stansfeld player, so he’s a good joy to manage and watch and goals like that, it’s a joy to watch.”

Chambers added: “It looked a real tight angle to be fair. I think he’s gone for goal or he’s tried putting it into an area. It was one of them and it’s found the far corner again and got them back in the game.”

Rusthall’s fans, players and management once again went berserk as they scored the eleventh goal of the game, one minute and 48 seconds into stoppage time.

Clover hit a diagonal over to Clarke on the left before Fares cut inside and placed his left-footed angled drive across the keeper to find the bottom far corner with another clinical strike.

“You’re thinking your tails are up at that point, minutes to play really and once again it was just disappointing that we just couldn’t see the minute out,” added Chambers.

Shinners admitted: “I wanted to go home at that point. I wanted the ground to swallow me up because my initial though was how are we losing?!

“I told the boys before the game not to lose and when we went to 5-4 and five-all, my emotions were everywhere and at that point I was like we’re we going to nick a draw and get away with this?

“When it went to 6-5, I just wanted to go home and I thought that was game over.”

However, there was to be one last sting in the tail in this remarkable game – I have run this website since 2003 and never reported on a game that finished in a 6-6 draw before – when Stansfeld grabbed a dramatic last-gasp leveller (50:30).

Late substitute Kameron Mendez clipped a superb right-footed cross from the corner of the Rusthall penalty area and an unmarked Willams glanced his header across the diving Sanneh to find the far corner from eight-yards.

Shinners said: “Kameron and Greg have been very much squad players this year, they’ve not really started games that much recently, however the two of them have great attitudes.

“Greg, that was a great forward’s goal, getting in front of his man. Greg has got that in him.  Greg scored a couple of goals in pre-season and he scored against Forest Hill the other week and they were like very old fashioned centre forward goals and that was another very good centre forward goal, getting in front of your man and get your head on the ball. It was a great goal and a great cross.

“I won’t be sleeping tonight, I don’t think, because the emotions I went from probably arguably our best half of football to our worst half of football in one game and when you go 5-4, thinking you’re going to lose the game and eventually drawing the game.

“We looked down, we looked out, we looked lost.  It was important we didn’t lose to teams like Rusthall. We got the draw, so before the game maybe I would’ve taken the draw.”

Chambers added: “I know Greg, he was my under 23s striker last season at Rusthall and I’ve known him well and he was with me all last season. He’s a great lad, a great player and yes he took it extremely well.”

Both Shinners and Chambers were asked about their goalkeeper’s performances.

Shinners said: “He’s a young keeper so that probably killed his confidence with a couple of the goals but then he’s a young keeper and he’ll learn from it.

“We’re there to support him as well, so hopefully he’ll learn and every single player on that pitch will learn from that really because we are a young side. We do lack experience and hoping not just Hugo everyone will learn from that and it’s my job to kind of pick them up and ready to go again on Saturday.”

You do, however, expect a goalkeeper who played in the same England team as Jude Bellingham at the age of 14 to perform better and the pressure is on Sanneh to produce better performances for Rusthall, who are involved in another ninth-tier relegation scrap.

Chambers said: “You look at it from both sides of the table tonight, both keepers have had it.  Have both keeper’s have had a bad night? Or have the striker’s been on top form? It’s a bit of both really.

“Serine’s a good lad and he’ll look at his own performance and I’m sure he’ll want to put that right on Saturday.

“We’ll have a look at the squad ahead of Saturday and hopefully we can get a positive performance away at Lordswood and hopefully three points on the board.

“Jimmy’s already been on the phone with one of the coaches and I’ll speak to him tomorrow but he’ll be back in time for Lordswood on Saturday.

“Lordswood are in not great form themselves at the moment. It’s another tough place to go and play but we’ll look forward to it and hopefully put another three points on the board.

“We’re not where we want to be at the moment and on the back of three good performances, obviously the Faversham game (lost 4-2 on penalties after the Kent Senior Trophy away tie finished 3-3) and Holmesdale in the league and the Snodland game have been three encouraging performances.  We had two clean sheets in that as well. 

“It was so disappointing to concede six tonight but we know we’re not where we want to be at the moment but another two wins changes the dynamics of this. We want to keep looking forward and look forward to Saturday.”

VCD Athletic are at the summit with 32 points from 13 games, while the play-offs contain Punjab United (28 points from 13 games), Faversham Town (27 points from 12 games), Fisher (22 points from 14 games) and Holmesdale (21 points from 17 games).

Corinthian are in sixth-place (20 points from 11 games), Larkfield & New Hythe – who inflicted Faversham Town’s first league defeat with a 1-0 win at Salters Lane last night – follow with 20 points from 12 games, then it’s Bearsted (17 points from 11 games) and Shinners’ Stansfeld are in ninth-place with 17 points from 14 games.

Shinners says he is looking forward to his side’s trip to play Tommy Warrilow’s men on Saturday.

“It’s a bit of a free hit, which is different but I really hope the boys can get themselves up and be ready for Faversham because I still believe in the boys. We’re young, we’re fearless and we’ve got nothing to lose on Saturday. 

“I’d rather have a 1-0 (win). I don’t think any manager will really want a six-all if we can help it because it should never be in that situation. 

“As a whole I’m pleased (to be in the top nine tonight). It’s been a difficult challenge, transition over the last 18 months.  We’re definitely moving in the right direction. Last season was a very difficult season. I truly believe in the boys. We’ve got a young team and since the Tunbridge Wells game (a 2-1 away win on 3 September), you can see what those foundations are.”

Whitstable Town are in fourteenth-place with 14 points from 12 games, Sutton Athletic (14 points from 12 games), Hollands & Blair (13 points from 13 games), Lordswood (13 points from 11 games) and Rusthall (12 points from 13 games) are above the relegation zone.

Kennington (11 points from 14 games) and Lydd Town (eight points from 11 games) are in relegation trouble.

Nicky Southall’s Lordswood side haven’t won in their last four outings, while Rusthall are unbeaten in their last four in all competitions.
