BEARSTED  0-0  ERITH & BELVEDERE
(Erith & Belvedere win 4-2 on penalties)
The Isuzu FA Vase Second Round
Saturday 9 November 2024
Stephen McCartney reports from Honey Lane

ERITH & BELVEDERE joint-manager Billy Hamlin says his depleted side have a siege mentality in The FA Vase after grabbing their place in the last 64 by beating Bearsted on penalties.

Goalkeeper Charlie Cottrell received heaps of post-match praise from Hamlin as he saved two penalties – from late substitute strike pair Michael Hagan and William Johnson-Cole – as Erith & Belvedere claimed a 4-2 win in the shoot-out after a goal-less 90 minutes at Honey Lane.

Trainer Shannon McEvoy has been extremely busy in treating players as Erith & Belvedere were without Rob Curtis, 31, (ankle), Rob Strachan (knee), Ryan Fowler (foot), Danny Lear (ACL), Ross Morley (back), while holding midfielder Daniel Parkinson lasted less than four minutes after being forced off with a broken right ankle.

The Deres were also without cup-tied pair Dieko Falade and five-goal leading goalscorer Tunde Aderonmu, who was also nursing a knee injury.

Bearsted were without centre-half Ryan Blake, who is serving a three-match suspension having been sent-off in last week’s 1-0 home defeat to Fisher, while Eniola Hassan was forced off the pitch suffering from cramp during this game.

Bearsted have beaten Bexhill United (5-2), Kennington (5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw) and came away from Yateley United with a 4-2 win to reach this stage of The FA Vase.

Saturday 9 November 2024 – FA Vase Second Round – Bearsted 0-0 Erith & Belvedere (Erith & Belvedere win 4-2 on penalties)

Erith & Belvedere have beaten Godalming Town (4-3 on penalties after a 0-0 draw), Frimley Green (1-0) and beat Wallingford & Crowmarsh 2-0 on penalties after a 1-1 draw, as they reached the Third Round for the fourth time in their history.

“A cracking away performance. It’s easy for me to sit there and go we’ve got him out, we’ve got him out and we’ve got him out. We’re knackered with injuries at the minute, so we knew they’d come at us,” said Hamlin.

“We’ve beaten them 3-0 at our place (two weeks ago), so we expected them to come at us. I said weather the first 15-20 minutes, which we did and I thought we grew into the game second half of the first half.

“Second half, they came out, Charlie Cottrell’s made a cracking save one-on-one. Apart from that he ain’t had a save to make.  We’re priding ourselves on clean-sheets at the minute.”

Bearsted manager, Kevin Stevens, sent out coach Taiwo Pereira for post-match media duties.

“I think the end result was disappointing, especially with the last few weeks we’ve had, we have seen slight improvement – but it’s just that cutting edge we lacked today.” admitted Pereira.

“We always try to prepare, especially when we’ve played a team once. We play them again and we do our work. We make sure we do research and analyse the last game.  We look at how they set up but most importantly we look at how we can nullify their threats and how we can be a threat as well.  We look at areas where we can exploit and I think we did that well – but not well enough!”

Ladic Melconian kicked off and rolled the ball back to Parkinson, who drilled a long ball forward, which was cleared out and Bearsted winger Jesse Darko gave the ball away and Parkinson smashed his drilled right-footed volley high over the crossbar after only 12 seconds.

When asked about his captain’s broken ankle, Hamlin said: “Massive blow, massive blow.  Parky brings so much more, not just aggressive on the pitch, he’s aggressive in the changing room and at training he sets the standard and we’re going to miss that.”

However, it wasn’t long before both of these league rivals started cancelling each other out, with Donnell Anderson partnering an emergency centre-half in Anthony Morrison at the heart of the away side’s defence.

“We have no Rob Strachan or Rob Curtis today and Donnell Anderson and AJ played centre-half and I thought they were immaculate today,” said Hamlin.

“Donny hasn’t played for like six weeks, he’s had a problem with his ankle and his calf and he’s come in today and been brilliant. AJ has come in and been brilliant. Sam Smith (the right-back) had a phenomenal game.  Ronnie McClean gives you great delivery. The back four played so well.  It’s a back five. It’s their little gang and they pride themselves in keeping clean-sheets and we’re really happy with that.”

“The boys are getting injuries but the boys are stepping up and are taking their chance and when everybody’s back, it’s going to be hard to pick a team.”

Bearsted then created a trio of chances within 125 seconds of one another.

Right-back Adam Turton floated in the home side’s first corner of the game and eight-goal targetman Connor French found a pocket of space to steer his free header over the crossbar.

Attacking midfielder Samuel Stace pounced on a loose ball and drilled a right-footed drive screaming just past the foot of the right-hand post from 35-yards.

“That’s the one thing we don’t do enough off – we don’t shoot,” admitted Pereira.

“We have a lot of technically proficient players but sometimes it might just be a worldy that catches players out.

“I think teams set up and they know exactly what to expect from us, especially the way we played last season (finishing seventh with our highest points tally of 72).  We’re very much known as a ball playing side and you can’t always walk the ball into the back of the net!”

A deep French held the ball up and played two pink-shirted players out of the game when his reverse pass played in right-winger Hassan, who charged into the box and cracked a right-footed drive, which cleared the crossbar in the 12^th minute.

Bearsted are clearly lacking a number nine striker – and haven’t replaced Ollie Freeman, who scored 20 goals for the club last season and has already scored 11 for league leaders VCD Athletic this season.

Pereira admitted French is more a player who would operate behind the central lone striker in Stevens’ 4-2-3-1 formation.

He said: “That’s one thing Frenchie offers us, that hold-up play.  From our perspective, he is probably the best in the league. Naturally, he’s a 10, a central midfielder but having him up there, he can use his assets a little bit more when it’s one-v-one and that is what we tried to create those scenarios.

“We know when he’s on the ball he can beat a player but it’s just that end product that he sometimes lacks.”

Bearsted went direct in the 19^th minute when recalled centre-half Daniel Melvin hit a long ball out of defence into the left channel where winger Darko easily cut inside Erith & Belvedere’s right-back Samuel Smith before hitting a deep cross towards the back post.

However, the angle was too tight for Hassan, who ghosted in and poked his shot  pinging against the base of the near-post.

“I mean, there are moments when we create situations when the centre-halves can get on the ball and step into midfield and that’s perfect because then we’ve got lots of runners and with Eni’s pace, he’s always going to get in behind but it’s just to make sure if the ball’s right, we’ll create opportunities,” added Pereira.

Hamlin added: “I know they’ve hit the post but it was such a tight angle. He was almost on the by-line, so if he had scored it would’ve been a miracle.  The only thing he could do was put it in the side-netting or hit the post.”

Recalled striker Tommy Whitnell stabbed a 10-yard pass out to substitute Maxx Manktelow, who cut the ball back to Smith, who whipped in a first time cross from the right into a crowd of players where left-winger Frederick Baker’s towering header was comfortably gathered by Bearsted keeper Frankie Leonard.

Whitnell turned Melvin before cracking a left-footed half-volley high over the Bearsted crossbar from 30-yards, as both side’s lack of quality in front of goal was evident that this was going to be settled by just the one goal – or the lottery of a penalty shoot-out.

“Danny Lear’s done his ACL but he’s coming back to the club and he’s working really hard and he can’t join in with the first team yet but hopefully around Christmas time we should have Danny back but he’s going to be massive for us,” revealed Hamlin.

“In this competition having Dieko Falade and Tunde Aderonmu cup-tied, you’re wrapping Tommy Whitnell in cotton wool because Tommy will be the first to admit in footballing terms Tommy is getting on a bit. He’s 36 so you want to keep giving him a run of games but you’ve also got to protect him.

“We only gave him 10 minutes at Larkfield last week (a 2-0 away win) because we were petrified he gets injured because he’s your only centre-forward in this competition, so you want to keep him ticking and keep him playing but you’ve got to protect him.

“Freddy Baker’s gone up there and worked his nuts off (as the striker from the 74^th minute) but you’ve got to manage Tommy because we need him desperately because he’s class.”

Erith & Belvedere’s only real clear cut chance of the first half came with 42:28 on the clock following the fourth of seven corners.

Left-back Ronnie McClean whipped in a left-footed corner from the right and the ball was cleared out to the edge of the box where Joe Chalker played a one-two with Melconian before Chalker drilled a right-footed shot towards goal from 20-yards, which was palmed around the post by Leonard.

“I think it actually took a deflection but to be honest with you some of the deliveries that Ronnie put in today, they were dying to be headed,” added Hamlin.

“As a former centre-half, when I played, you’d love deliveries like that. They got told at half-time I weren’t happy about that because away from home in the Vase with a bit of a depleted team, you’ve got to take your chances!

“We had five corners in the first half and we should’ve scored from every single one.  The deliveries were that good and I weren’t happy at half-time because in my opinion, we should’ve been 2-0 up through the set-pieces.

“We knew they were going to come at us. It’s away from home in the Vase. It’s a different feel. It’s cup game, people run that little bit harder don’t they when it finishes on the day.

“I’m not being funny, if this was a League game, you’re thinking with a depleted squad 0-0 away to Bearsted, yes, we’ll take that but you know at the end you’re still trying to win it because it finishes today.

“I just said to the boys, ‘let’s make sure when we drive out of this car park, you drive out as winners’ – and we have!”

Pereira added: “That was a nice bit of play from Ladic.  It was one moment where we switched off defensively. We didn’t get up quick enough and when some of the players did get up, they weren’t staying marking.

“That was probably their best opportunity that they’ve created and yet it was a good save. It was at him but he’s still done well enough to make a save.

“I said (at half-time) to be patient. We’re in a place now where I think the boys are rightly so frustrated but it’s just about being patient because what we do well, if we continue to do it well, the chances will come.”

Erith & Belvedere produced a well-worked move inside the opening three minutes of the second half.

Some typical industry from Whitnell saw Frederick Cray slip the ball into the path of Melconian, who swept his right-footed shot past the foot of the right-hand post.

Bearsted swiftly went up the other end from a set-piece from Turton, which played French in behind before drilling his right-footed shot towards the near-corner, only for Cottrell to pull off a good save, low to his left.

“I mean, one thing last season, what we were very good at was our indirect free-kicks,” said Pereira.

“It’s not something we’ve not been doing very well at this season but with certain players’ in the box, sometimes all they need is half-a-chance and they’ll be able to get a shot off – but no goal from that one.”

Chalker threw the ball short to McClean, who delivered a deep cross into a crowd of players and Whitnell’s downward header wasn’t going to trouble Leonard in the Bearsted goal.

Bearsted squandered a glorious chance to claim the victory on the hour-mark, turning defence into attack, following the away side’s sixth corner.

McClean put the ball in and Bearsted cleared their lines with Stace leaving Melconian on the deck close to the half-way line before feeding central midfielder Billy Lewins who put the three-goal right-winger Hassan through on goal in a one-v-one.

Hassan fluffed his big chance as his shot was brilliantly saved by Cottrell, low to his left. A big example of Bearsted missing a number nine who can put the ball in the back of the net!

“The way we set up from our corners, we always try to encourage good clearances so that we can get forward quickly,” said Pereira.

“Like I said before, Eni has pace, speed, pace and power, that kind of thing. If you’ve got players like Billy Lewins and Sam Stace behind him, he’ll be able to pick him out but like I said before, it’s end product with Eni but the thing is it will be something that he will learn from.

“We’ve had a similar situation where he’s missed a couple of chances but then towards the end of last season he started to find the back of the net (to score five goals).

Hamlin said: “I’ll be honest, I don’t get excited when they have a chance.  It’s a standard joke, the boys take the mick out of me in the changing room. If Charlie’s six foot two he plays proper football. That boy, he is that good, he is that good. He is the best goalkeeper in this league by a country mike.

“I know I’m going to get it at training because they’re going to read this interview and they’re going to take the mick out of me but I stand by it, I stand by it.

“I’ve seen him make saves since I’ve had him and I’m lucky to have him and the club are lucky to have him.

“You need a good goalscorer to put the chances away but you’ve got Charlie in goal. Yes, he should score but I know when he’s gone through everyone gets excited. I’m calm. If he scores, he scores. He should score but when you’ve got Charlie, you’ve always got a chance.”

French’s race was run in the 63^rd minute and on came winger Robbie Roberts, who offered no threat as Smith slammed the door shut, as Darko was deployed as an emergency centre-forward.

Turton fed the ball into Darko, who turned and cracked a left-footed drive towards the roof of the net from 25-yards, which was comfortably pushed over his crossbar by the outstretched left-hand of the outstanding Cottrell.

“That was a good opportunity,” admitted Pereira.

“When he’s cut in, the other defenders were dropping off because they were expecting the pass.  Like I said before, if we can create and build opportunities where they’re expecting us to play, those shooting opportunities will come but it was a good save in the end.”

Hamlin added: “Straight above him. It was routine for Charlie, wasn’t it?  Everyone went ‘oh’ and got excited. If Charlie doesn’t save it, he’ll be in a bad mood believe me. It’s just routine for him.”

Melconian burst into life for the Deres, when he rode a sliding tackle from Bearsted holding midfielder Jack Palmby, before playing a one-two with winger Chalker before Melconian drilled a right-footed shot past the foot of the right-hand post from 30-yards.

“Ladic has been cracking since he’s come in.  Not being funny, Ladic and Joe Chalker, you don’t want to get in a conversation with them because you won’t get much out of them, bless them but they’ve been brilliant for us. They do their talking with their feet and Ladic was all over the pitch today,” revealed Hamlin.

“Chalker’s been off all week with food poisoning, so he wasn’t playing until last night. He did the warm-up and he was so drained where he’s been sick all week.”

Erith & Belvedere squandered a glorious chance to win it (42:00) when Melconian fed Chalker, whose cross-shot was palmed away by Leonard but Manktelow went to pieces inside the box and lacked composure as his right-footed half-volley was stroked past the right-hand post.

Hamlin said: “Oh, I know. That was the chance to win it. He strikes a lovely ball Maxx. I’ve seen him whip some great goals in during training.  It’s a learning curve. He’s a baby Maxx.  Freddy Baker’s a baby but sometimes they make wrong decisions but they’re learning all of the time.  Do you know what, another day he probably takes the pace of it and just passes it in.”

McClean floated a left-footed free-kick high over Leonard’s shoulder (47:14) from 40-yards and the ball clipped the crossbar before referee Matthew Williams called time (48:08/51:40).

“To be fair, it’s hit the bar and like a phantom foul.   The ref’s just given a foul.  To be fair, when the ref came over, I said to him, ‘what was the foul for?’  He went ‘I made a mistake.’

“It’s the first time a ref’s held his hands up and gone (to me) I’ve made a mistake because it’s was like no one’s near the keeper, it’s gone over him and hit the bar and he’s given a foul.”

Pereira added: “Frankie sometimes, for all the things that he does well, there’s some attributes that he has where he is definitely the best in the league at.  His ball-playing ability but sometimes with his physicality coming through clearing balls and claiming them, he’s not so great so that kind of created a half-chance  for (Manktelow).

“The one that hit the crossbar, it’s a great delivery from them. That’s the one way that they created constant threat were from set-pieces and I think we defended then well and Hagan did a good job to prevent the rebound going in as well.”

Bearsted have now gone 270 minutes (three games) without scoring a goal.

“It’s one thing we’re lacking. We just have to get the boys to trust the process and they do,” said Pereira.

“We work very hard in training with the way that we play and the style of play. We’re working on that kind of goal threat and that final third.

“It will come, eventually it will come but it just takes time. It’s a long season as well, so we’re only in November. We’ve still got two cup competitions, we’ve still got the League to play for as well.”

There were eight penalties in the shoot-out.

“The one thing, ideally we never want to get to penalties. We always trust Frankie to make at least one save and we score ours.  It’s a lottery. It doesn’t matter who you play,” said Pereira.

“Penalties are penalties. You’ve just got to trust the players’ individually to do their jobs and unfortunately two of our boys that we trust on penalties, they missed. It’s not the end of the world. The boys are distraught about it but it’s not the end of the world.”

Bearsted went first with Darko (who played winger, striker and number 10 during the game) stroked his right-footed penalty into the right-hand corner.

Erith & Belvedere left-back McClean smashed an emphatic left-footed penalty into the top left-hand corner, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way.

Bearsted substitute Hagan, who came on with 40:27 on the second half clock, saw his right-footed penalty saved by Cottrell, diving to his left to save, as Hagan tried to find the bottom right-hand corner.

Anderson capped off a resilient afternoon’s work at the back, to send his right-footed penalty just right of centre, as Leonard dived to his left.

Bearsted sub Roberts whipped his left-footed penalty into the top right-hand corner, leaving Cottrell rooted to the spot.

Melconian – who helped Erith Town win promotion via the play-offs last season, as well as winning two cups for Adam Woodward’s side – placed his right-footed penalty into the bottom left-hand corner, despite Leonard diving to his right and getting a hand to the ball.

Bearsted sub Johnson-Cole (who came on with 40:39 on the second half clock), drilled his right-footed penalty wide of the left-hand post.

Erith & Belvedere will be playing in the last 64 of The FA Vase in early December as Manktelow (introduced with four minutes and 40 seconds into the first half due to Parkinson’s injury) found the bottom left-hand corner with his right-footed penalty, despite Leonard diving the same way and getting so close to keeping the ball out.

Hamlin, who’s side have now won three penalty shoot-outs in this competition,  said: “Listen, it all ended well in the end, didn’t it?”

“We’ve always got a chance because we’ve got Charlie, it’s as simple as that. Simple as that.

“All the years I’ve managed him, every penalty-shoot-out we’ve had, listen, it is a lottery so to speak but I know he’s going to save one, or he’ll get close to one or he’ll put someone off and the team know it as well.

“I said to them in the huddle, be true to yourself, don’t change because Charlie will save one.  The boys get confidence taking their penalties because it takes pressure of them because they know that nine times out of 10 Charlie’s going to save you one in a shoot-out. He’s done it for me for many-a-year.  Like I say, he’s by far the best goalkeeper in this League.”

Both were asked about Hagan and Johnson-Cole coming off the bench too late to make an impact in normal time and having their spot-kicks saved by Cottrell.

Pereira responded: “There were two intensions. The first intension was to bring players on that could provide an attacking threat and hopefully create to score in the last moments.

“But we also brought them on in case we went to penalties and unfortunately two good saves from the keeper.”

Hamlin admitted: “It’s not something I would do because I think you need to be in the flow of the game and you need to be in the action but listen if they come on and they’re two good players and they’re two good penalty takers and they win the game for them, they’re heroes aren’t they?

“But from my point of view, I done it in one of the previous rounds and I turned round and we had Whitnell, Parky, we basically had all of our penalty takers sitting on the bench and I thought ‘oh no, I’ve made a ricket,’ – but it worked out for us.”

Looking ahead to their Last 64 tie, Hamlin, who has now seen his side maintain seven clean sheets in all competitions this season, explained why it’s important to be hard a hard nut to crack defensively.

“I’ve been here before haven’t I?  I think you do (learn from Stansfeld’s two FA Vase runs), make us hard to beat. The boys have got a bit of a siege mentality in the Vase because we haven’t got Delako and Tunde. We know that Whitnell is going to be our main man up there and the boys get in and around him and we get legs in and around him.

“My old manager (at Stansfeld) – the best manager I’ve ever had – a fella called Bernie Shaw and he used to say to me ‘if you don’t concede, you don’t get beat!’
He drilled it into us so much that it was in your head when you walked on the pitch. In the end, it became natural to you.

“The boys are like that in the Vase. They know if we don’t concede, we’ve got a great chance of either winning it in normal time, nicking a goal or if it does go to penalties, we know that we’ve got Charlie and the boys are confident with their spot-kicks because Charlie takes the pressure off them.”

Bearsted, meanwhile, welcome Lordswood here on Tuesday night in the Challenge Cup Second Round, in what will be Ross Wiles and Lee Garlinge’s first game as Lordswood’s joint-managers following the departure of Nicky Southall.

Bearsted are underperforming in fourteenth-place in the Southern Counties East Football League Premier Division table, having picked up 17 points (five wins, two draws and six defeats).

Lordswood – without a win in six games – are now in the bottom three having picked up 13 points (four wins and a draw) from their 13 league games.

Pereira said: “I mean, like anyone in this league, you can’t really look at form. I think Lordswood are struggling a little bit, especially after they had a good start to the season.

“The players’ are feeling frustrated, they’re upset but we give them 24 hours to wipe their mouths and then we just go again.

“I know Ross quite well and I know how they will play. Earlier on in the season we had that game with them when we beat them with 10 men (2-1 at home on Tuesday 13 August) but we’ll be prepared to go out and win the game in normal time because that’s always our objective.”

Reflecting on Bearsted’s current league position, Pereira refused to panic.

He said: “Right now, we don’t want to judge too early. I think compared to last season we’re a couple of points off where we were last season but we know that we have targets to hit on a monthly basis.

“We know if we continue to play our football and add the extra bits as well that we know by Christmas we will be in a good position to continue challenging.

“I doesn’t make great reading now but it’s a long season. Teams in and around us probably won’t be there come the end of the season. It’s important that we don’t get carried away with the league table right now because it’s a strong league and compared to last season, even though we don’t have as many big-hitters, it’s still very strong and we just have to be on our game every single week.”

Erith & Belvedere, meanwhile, welcome Tunbridge Wells to Park View Road in a League game next Sunday 17 November.

Steve Ives’ side knocked Hassocks out of The FA Vase today, winning 3-0 on penalties after being held to a 1-1 draw by the second-placed Southern Combination League Premier Division side at Culverden Stadium.

The result is no real shock – the Southern Counties East Football League Premier Division is a much stronger league and Tunbridge Wells were expected to get through.

Tunbridge Wells are in eleventh-place in the table with 18 points (five wins, three draws and seven defeats), a place beneath Erith & Belvedere (six wins, four draws and four defeats).

Erith & Belvedere are only a couple of points adrift of the play-offs, as they bid to return to the Isthmian League at the first attempt.

Erith & Belvedere manager Matt Longhurst had a playing budget of £3,500 a week at the start of last season but several budget cuts and plenty of departures followed and Longhurst quit the job minutes after a 2-0 defeat at Merstham on Tuesday 9 January 2024.

Former Stansfeld pair Hamiln and Jamie Phipps took over just three days later but couldn’t save the club from suffering relegation.  The pair are working with a much reduced budget than what Longhurst had at the start of last season.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen with the Glebe game, obviously the lights went out in the last minute, whether we get the three points for that I don’t know. Whether we have to replay that, I don’t know,” admitted Hamlin.

“Play-offs is definitely the aim because I’m so proud of them.  My son Freddy, he warms Charlie up and he went to me the other day, he said ‘you’ve got the changing room back dad’, - because it was hard. 

“When we came in there were loads of players on loan. The money got cut and people left and Geordie the chairman (Paul Springett) stood there alone and it weren’t a nice place to be, if I’m perfectly honest with you.”
