NOTES ( by " Enos " ) -Continued . secures one or more - more if possible - to - day . Oxberry did quite well against the tall centre - half Campbell , and even got the ball in the air several times . He certainly is the best centre - forward we have played this season . Stick in Johnnie , " and let us have a goal or two , it is the average that is keeping us at the bottom . The outside men were an improvement , on the previous week , and if only a reproduction of the form at Southampton can be performed , we feel certain that at the finish of this match to - day we will be congratulating ourselves on another victory . We can get points away from home ; now lads let us have these two at home . As to injured men . and injuries : Henderson was taken home last Monday from the Ingham Infirmary ; Devan is progressing first class after his operation in Newburn Nursing Home ; Greenwell has commenced " body work " previous to starting training ; then we have Grenyer suffering from a slightly poisoned leg , caused at Shildon in the Shipowners ' Cup - tie by an opponent's stud nails . He really shouldn't have played last week , but he is so anxious to get himself fit and into condition . 1 I notice a gentleman writing to the local paper suggest ing a bazaar to be held in aid of the Club . Whilst entirely in favour of such a worthy object , we are just afraid it would not be the success anticipated by our friend . The working of such entails a good deal of begging , and our principal supporters , the working and middle classes , are already hard hit and haven't much , if anything , to spare , after attending to their own requirements . The " upper tens " of this town have never supported us as they ought to , and we are just afraid they won't begin now . We only wish they would encourage good and wholesome sport . Employers and employees could certainly be at worse places than football matches ; it keeps their minds free from other dangerous subjects , so why not , as advised by the " Daily Mail , " come off your perch " and assist in the endeavour to obtain a first class team for a first class town .
