Big Match Preview: Loko v Ladbroke Groovers

15th October 2006
Barnesalona Cup, 2.00pm KO
Lokomotiv Londres FC v Ladbroke Groovers

General
Manager Julian (pictured below) returns to take charge of Sunday's game. It has been an unlucky two game stint in charge of the team for Rohan, where the results could have been much different than two 2-1 defeats.


Mark Bullock is missing this weekend, although it is hoped that there will be returns for Dave Hearn, Pete Masters, Stephen Pegg and Steve Martin. Other than that the team appears to be the same as last week.

Stat Attack

- Ladbroke have not had a great start to their League campaign, winning against Nellies Chargers in a 9-a-side game on the opening weekend but losing all three games since. [League Table]

- Ladbroke also lost their only cup game to date this season against Barnes 12-0. [Cup Table]

- This will be our first game in the cup this season and we will be looking for a confidence boosting win, as we have not won any game since our last game against the Groovers on the 17.09.06.

- Loko's defence has been relatively solid this season despite its unusual look and personnel change only conceding six goals in four Barnesalona games at 1.5 goals a game. In contrast Ladbroke have conceded 36 goals in five Barnesalona games at 7.2 goals a game.

- Loko will be looking to finish in the top two and qualify for the Cup Semi-Finals for the first time since they entered the League three years ago.
